BY ELLEN KEY.

Stockholm, July 24.-The old
ldealists who fought for woman's
emancipation are disappointed
modern woman has not lived up to
the promises which the older gene
ration thought she gave.
Woman today has acquired mans
viewpoint. She places knowledge,
work. social activity above de-
velopment Of character and culture.
In her intense desire not to lag
behind she has lost the faculty Of
introspection.
But without introspection, no
progress is possible. Society will
fall to pieces il both sexes give
themselves up to outside interests.
Previously women held reserves Of
devotion and self-controI. Today
they let themselves go as much as
men.
Need Culture of Heart.
The world needs culture of the
reart more than ever before. II
needs character. real personality.
II also needs the forms Of social
poltteness, of good breeding, which
are not merely an empty she'll. but
practical educational forces which
society cannot ignore for any
length OF time without losing
stamina and strength.
Women Of today are so busy with
outside affairs that they have no
time to develop their own personal
ity, te acquire that culture which
makes a person milder and wiser,
able to Judge men and things by
their real work, instead of by ap-
pearsnce-
Women don't know how to live.
They are not yet able to discern the
true proportion between work and
play. They overwork, give them
selves up too exclusively to one in
terest, throw themselves without re-
gard TO their cwn physical strength
and TO conditions in general into
public activities. When they allow
the home to be spoiled by quarrels

Rome. July 24.-All Italy is talk
ing of the friar of Foggia, a young
Franciscan of 80, whose monastical
mountain fastness has become the
Mecca of peasant and student alike.
Extraordinary scenes are being
witnessed in Foggia from day to
day. The peasants refuse to confess
to any but the young friar, or to
receive communion from anOther's 3
hand, and in consequence the rest
of the monastery is idle while long
queues besiege the young Francis

markings on his hands, sandalled
feet, and head.
These marking have been medical
ly authenticated as white cica atrices,
and they are said to correspond mi

Paris. July 24.-Paul Dzrde, re-
Gently awarded the national prize
for statusry. and known as the
shepherd sculptor" stepped into
fame over night.
All Paris has crowded TO the Salon
TO see the two specimens Of his
work, which have led 70 his being
crowned victor in the competition
for the national prize.
One represents a closssl fSun.
carved from a block Of stone: the
other is the head Of a woman. de-
signsted "Eternelle Douleur," which
Dsrde mas executed in bronze and
marble.
Both stamp him as an artist Of
great power and originality. The
mantle OF the great master Rodin
seems to have fallen on his should
ers.
Iiliterste at Age Is
Darde Is now about twenty-eisht
His early life was spent as a shep-
herd boy amongst the foothills Of
the Ccvennes Mountains. He re-
ceiyed but little education, and until
his eighteenth year he could scarce
ly read or write, but this child Of
nature early felt the artistic call.
In the interval OF watching his
hocks on the lonely hulsides he
dsebled in the mountain mud as a
child makes mud-pieS, moulding
crude representations OF the AMI
mate objects around him.
For years he plodded on in his
simple way. and without the guild
snce Of any master hand.
Next he set 10 work with a
chisel, and left tha mark Of his
primitive art upon Jumps Of noun
tain rock.
Entering the army as = sapper in
the Engineers Corps. the shepherd
boy happily found sympathetic
commanding officer. who. impressed
by his extraordinary talent. entered
him as a night student at the Mont
pelier School Of Art.
After two years here. and on con-
cluding his army service, he sought
admission 20 the Paris School OF
Fine Arts. In q competitive exsmi-
nation he was placed fourth, which
was in itself a triumph.
A sympsthizer furnished him
with a small sum Of money. which
enabled him to visit Italy. the land
Of his artistic dreams. Coming
back to Paris, Dsrde made his Sp-
pesrsnce at Robins steIier, but the
shepherd boy and the master did
not agree. and after a fortnight
Darde and Rodin parted rather
abruptly.
on the outbreak Of war Dsrde
was recalled to the colors. and
served with his Engineer Regiment
in Northern France. Demobilfzed
after the armiStice he lost no time
in resuminE his interrupted studies.
He is a simple unconven-
tionsl soul, timid in manner. but
with the physicist strength OF Her
Cules. When he was informed Of
his great triumph ~ wept with 5oy.
As the winner Of she national
prize he must study two years
( abroad, one Of which must be
passed in Italy.
