MARRYING FOR PRETTY FACE
Browning's "Andrea del Sarto" Raises Question Whether Beauty Is or
 Is Not AlI-Sufficient.

Should man marry girl with a pretty face simply because she ap- pealed to his artistic eye?
 Back in the thirteenth century An drea del SartO, master FlOrentine painter married hatters widow, "a woman of pretty face and sensuous figure" but she didn't appreciate his painting and "his soul starved"
 Robert Browning caught the intro spective struggle of the artist against "self-imposed shackles" and the poem ing by Dr. Edward Howard Griggs at Witherspoon hall before the Univer- sity Extension society, says the Phila- delphia Evening Bulletin.
 To the largely feminine audience the reading was warning to treat mas culine temperament with careful con- sideration.
 To the men present 1t raised the question whether they should give pretty girl a civil service examination before marriage.
 Mature makes them so beautiful" said Dr. Griggs in speaking of beau tiful women who do not appreciate talented husbands, "that you think there must be surely something of the higher mental self in them.'
 But as Browning shows in his poem of the painter and as Dr. Griggs pointed out, kings and masters may appreciate the talent of a man, but his wife merely worries about the next pay envelope"

cntchinu the Bad Boy"

It seems to many that the nation wide search for the "baddest boy would be more interesting If 1t were conducted along more intelligent lines. The searchers, 1t seems, start out IT, responsibly, frankly and specifically demanding the worst boy. They'll never find him in such simple man. ner, for the boy they're seeking Is bad, and that means he's clever. He probably does not attend Sunday school the year round. but very likely he gets in on all the Christmas trees. Why not, then, catch him with Christmas tree? Pass the word out that next Christmas there will be tree with presents for good little boys; no bad little boy will be allowed look-in; bad little boys are not wanted. and are defied to get in by any hook or crook. Then, after the exercises are under way. the searchers may look over their audience, and pick out their worst boy. He may be hard to pick out from all the rest. but he'll be there. Kansas City Star.

Supposed Paupers Misers.

Many paupers who begged for a livelihood were found after their death to have possessed enormous wealth. A notorious case Is that of Jean Baptiste Roateau, who died fin gypsy camp outside of Paris. after begging for 20 years. Gripped tight ly in his hand was found the key to strong box in a Paris bank. The box contained $1O0.OOO in gold, notes and securities-all the property of this beggar.
 Before the recent world war there died in a Berlin garrett Herr Schwarz, known to his neighbors as one of the poorest of the poor. He sallied out daily into the fashionable quarters of the city, garbed in filthy rags and carrying sack in which he collected crusts and other scraps of food. When he died there was found in his wretched quarters s4OO,OOO. mostly in gold, concealed in jars and bottles, and in bank notes, which served as stuffing for his bed.
 Samuel Rogers lived the life of a tramp at Long Branch, N. J., and used to walk from that city to New York to bank his money. He left S40.OO0, although he always con- sidered himself too poor to buy food or clothing. He encased his feet in old pieces of burlap and ate whatever he could find, even to apple cores and cruStS from the street.

STILL MAKE BOWS
Old Weapon of War and Chase
 Not Yet Obsolete.
Quantity of Yew Wood, to Be Ussd for That Purpose, Recently Sold by the Government For
 est Service.

It Is a far cry from long range ri- fles and high-powered explosives to the bow and arrow of the American Indian. Nevertheless. bows and ar- rows are still used by the small boy. albeit not without sorrow to the neigh bor's chickens There Is also de mand for stronger and more expensive bows for archers of mature years. Doubtless these facts account for recent sale. on the SnOqualmie na- tional forest in Washington, of quantity of yew, to be used in mak- ing bows. Although the forest serv- ice of the United States department of agriculture sells variety of for est products for unusual uses, this Is probably the first case In which the final product Is to be one of the old est and most common weapons known to the world.
 The yew has long been known as the best of all bow woods. Famous English archers would have no other. Richard III. ordered bowers to make four bows of witch hazel, ash. or elm to every one of yew. in order that the supply of this valued wood might be preserved. This is said to be one of the earliest forest regulations in Eng land. The slaves from which bows were made in those early days were seasoned for three years before being made into bows and the bows were not used for two years after being com pleted.
 The American yew is botanically very similar to the European yew. One of the three species found In the United States grows only In Florida and Is a small tree. Another Is a shrub growing in the north Atlantic region, while the third occurs in the forests of the Pacific coast. It is the latter that grows in the Snoqualmie national forest. When mature 1t usu- ally Is from 20 to 30 feet high and from 6 to 12 inches in diameter.
 On account of it's elasticity and strength the Indians of the Northwest utilized the wood of the yew for their bows and often for canoe paddles. Yew wood is also well adapted to carving and numerous attractive ar ticles can be made from It. Not only does the grain of the wood make 1t possible to carve attractive designs, but the combination of red bark. white sapwoOd, and rOse-red heartwOod make especially pleasing effects possible.

Marshal Foch's Cane,

From the first days of the war Marshal Foch always carried a dap- per stick with him. There is an in- teresting story connected with the cane that the head of the allied armies regarded so necessary. "It was carved for him Tn the early days of the war by one of his beloved poilus of the trenches" says the Home Sector. the ex-soldiers' weekly, "since which time, if reports are true 1t has nver left his side. It has made itself useful as we'll as ornamental on occasions. and there Is a legend that 1t was used to map out the great strokes and counter-strokes of the summer and fall of 1918 by which the war was ended"

Niuht Doctors.

"Paris has organized service of night doctOrs," writes a correspond ent from the French capital. Tt Is rather remarkable" continues the cor respondent, that we have not had this before. You fall i'll in the night. or your relation falls i'll. You immedi- ately telephone to the family doctor Possibly he is out attending case. Who, then, to summon? You don't know. Someone thinks there Is a doc tor two streets away. and away you dash. Yes, he is in, and he will come. He comes. He Is tired man. Ills eyes are heavy with sleep. Aside. he tells you he has had little rest for a week. If your own medical adviser had co ne it would have been the same. What a travesty of system to work men night and day.! Manifestly there ought to be a panel of doctors-fresh, vigorous, and ready for busy nights work-who have not been at work during the day. In Paris, the night doctor will be installed at the police station and he will be ready. of course. to go wherever he is called"

But how tiresome that Bob's illness should have to come right now, when she wanted no shadows-only the high lights of happiness! Marie had nev- CT been in the habit of confiding her innermost thoughts in her mother. and now 1t would be impossible to make her understand.
 "Well, must confess that I never thought daughter of mine could be so heartless as to go to show with stranger when her playmate and chum was dying, like enough. This new generation moves too rapidly for mel" Mrs. Fenton's tone was bitter.
 But Marie went. Bob couldn't be in danger; it was unthinkable. And he would have been the last one to wish her to stay home.
 The picture that night concerned the love adventures of world famous comedian. The audience rocked with mirth. But suddenly some awkward movement of the irresistible little man reminded Marie of Bob. Bob was a bit clumsy, too, in just that way.
 And then, because of the subtle ar tistry of the actor. Marie saw in the woe-begone plight of the man of the comedy the utter tragedy that the crowd missed. Bob would look like that-and 1t would all be black real ity.
 A great revulsiOn swept over the girl. On its surge she almost sprang to her feet, indifferent as to her con- panion's reception of her hurried ex- cuses, and hastened out of the theater and home.
 Marie burst into the sitting room, out of breath. Mother, how is Bob?" she cried.
 Goodness, girl! What are you do- ing home so sOon?" Mrs. Fenton de manded.
 'I want to know how Bob is!''
 He's had a turn for the better. Here-where are you going now?'
 "T'm going right over there to send my love up to Bob!' called the girl over her shoulder That was all the mother heard. But all the way to BOb's home these words sounded over and over again :n Marie's heart: "I thought I was following a comet, but it was only will O the wisp be- side the real thing!"

Why Most Men Seek Wealth

Every vigorous man needs some kind of contest, some sense of resistance overcome in order to feel that he is exercising his faculties. Under the influence of economies a theory has grown up that what men desire is wealth. The less active members of community often do in fact desire wealth, since 1t enables them to gratify taste for passive enjoyment, and to secure respect without exertion. But the energetic men who make great for tunes seldom desire the actual money {; they desire the sense of power through contest, and the joy of successful activity. The only element of truth in the economic theory that these men are actuated by desire for money is this: owing to the fact that money Is believed to be desirable the makir" of money Is recognized as the test of success.-H0n. Bertrand Russell.

GIFTS GL0RIEs OF THE PAST
AdrianopIs, Today Only Geographical. ly Important, Was Once Metropolis
 of . Great Empire.

If Adrianople cannot boast as long and romantic story as COnstantin- ople, she can point to the days when she was the metropolis of one of the greatest empires the world has ever known. as -.a ... ..a
 The foundations of her greatness were laid some 1900 years ago by Hadrian, one of the greatest of Roman emperors, who built palaces and tenn pies there of a splendor such as east ern Europe had never known. And she soon promised to eclipse her great rival on the Bosporus. though that city had already been world-famous cap ital for TOO years.
 During the centuries that followed her imperial cradling, Adrianople lived through exciting and perilous times. Less than 200 miles from Constan- tinople, she shared much of the tur- bulent life of which that coveted city was center. In the fifth century we see her fighting fiercely against At tila's savage hordes until her streets ran red with blood. Again and again 'hC iouShl iSSS uhu SNoU bornly against the raiding Bulgarians.
 We see her In furious battle with Persians and Avars. and she sent her sons under the banner of Heraclius. to wage war against the Saracens. Thus the turbulent tide of Adrianople's history rolls on through the centuries. storm-tossed and tinged with blood.
 But the Byzantine empire. which had seen over 1000 years of stirring life, at last came to its end. The Turkish tide. which had swept to the eastern shore of the Bosporus, and now sought to swamp Europe. proved much too strong for the dying empire to resist; and in 1861 we see the sol diers of Amurath pouring into Adrian ople, and the sultan installing himself in the city.
 Thus, after more than 1.2OO years the city Hadrian had founded blossom ed into the capital of a new and alien empire. which was soon to spread it. self further than the empire it had Within a few generations successor, Suleiman the was ruling over more than twenty races of men in three Of this Old-time magnifi- cence few traces remain.

thought of it right off. I'll be nine teen in nineteen nineteen"
 "Oh, how wonderful !" thrilled the chubby one.
 Three years suffice to change many fiapper into real young woman. Marie Fenton passed her nineteenth birthday early in January of 1919. The months passed on. October came, and and still the bright light that had flared from the depths of the crystal ball to the eyes of the interpreter failed to Hume with its radiance the life of Marie.
 The summers cOcky straw sailor had given place to a fiery-red tam. But still the latter was never pulled into place over Marie's lNt eyebrow as she set off for business in the morning without the accompanying hope that this might be the day of days.
 Then it happened-when Marie least expected it.
 There was new purchasing agent. Marie was sent in to take dictation from him. He was tall and broad houldered-stunning Marie thought and he had that suave way with him that convinces one woman at time that she is the only woman.
 It convinced Marie to such an ex- tent that the curves and dashes on the pad before her became alarm. ingly blurred.
 "Bring the letters to me just be- fore five" Into these seven words MT. Beers managed to condense VOL umes of meaning: That he was loath to send Marie away; that five o'clock was a long way off; that he should await her return impatiently, and that when the longed-for hour arrived well, somehow there was a vaguely TO- mantle suggestion of tryst.
 Marie's fingers justified their autO- matic training that afternoon. for her thoughts went skylark:ng down the long lane of the future. when some one tall and stunning walked by her side When :45 came and she presented the letters for signature. 1t caused her no surprise at all that Mir. Beers should suggest walking home with her.
 Wasn't it all foreordained? Then, too, 1t seemed perfectly natural and at the same time incredibly marvellous that the new purchasing agent should ask her to go to the movies that very evening. And some people said crys- tai gazing was all huge fake!
 AS Marie closed the front door be- hind her and passed through to the kitchen where Mrs. Fenton was pre- pairing the evening meal, something in- tangible pricked her bubble of elation. What was it that had filled her thoughts before that fateful moment when she had opened Mr. Beers office? Her mothers greeting words brought 1t all back.
 Bob is much worse," she announced
 Bob? Oh, yes. to be sure; Bob was sick-that was the truant thought Bob Bryan, the standby of child hood and girlhood; funny, steady, true blue old Bob, who would have let them cut off his right hand for her any time, she knew; and who had always been why, as much part of life as moth- CT herself!
