"sIMoNETTA."

By Edwin Lefevre. George H. Doran
 Company publishers, New York city.
 There is white magic in the love story of Sihonetta, daughter of a great ltal- ian artist, and Godfrey Thurston, an American, who met and loved and mar ried her in Florence in circumstances of high romance.
 Simonetta had the face of the origi- nal of Botticelli's paintings of Judith Venus and the Veritas. Her father had painted her portrait a thousand times, always selling it as a copy of the fa- nous lost painting of Simonetta, the beloved of Giuliano de Medicis.
 One night as Thurston left the house after examining the painting which att tracted him powerfully Simonetta spoke to him. and then comes what a critic calls the one perfect love story. It should be printed in letters of gold on vellum.'
 Edwin Lefevre is the author of many stories of Wall street. among them, , "The Golden Flood and Sampson Rock" His knowledge of Italian life and atmosphere comes from his trips to l Italy. Tn 1910 and 1911 he was charge d affaires of the Panama legation in
 Rome. but he spent much of his time in Florence, learning to speak Tuscan
 Italian like a native. Through his pas l sion for old masters, of which he has | many. he discovered the original of Si- l monetta's father.

A NOVEL STEP

Washington, April 1.--Action of the Maryland legislature in directing the attorney general to seek before the supreme court an injunction restraint ing the secretary of state of the United States from proclaiming the federal suffrage amendment, if it should be ratified by thirty states, until it's validity is established, was said to- night by the National Association Op- posed to Woman Suffrage to be novel step in American legal procedure, which might affect the presidential election in November.
 Miss Mary G. Kilbreth president of the association, said Marylands action meant that for the first time the va lidty of a proposed constitutional amendment would be passed on by the courts before it was made a part of the nations fundamental law. instead of after. in which it is strikingly diff ferent from the prohibition amends ment. which is in effect while being contested bitterly in the supreme court
 If the suffrage amendment were proclaimed on mere official notices as the state department recently informed our association it might do," Miss Kill breth said, the entire presidential election might be thrown into the courts on account of the doubtful le- gality of ratification in various refer endum states and others where le- gality is being contested.
 The resolution authorizes not only an injunction to prevent proclamation, but also suits to take up the entire question of validity from the power of congress to submit such an amend nient to the right of legislature to ratify it without the consent of the people.
 While the action of Mississippi and Delaware proves that there is no im- mediate danger of thirty-six states be- ing counted for the amendment Mary land has now erected a stone wall of | legal defense against federalized woma n suffrage.'

 Suffragists who still hope for af- firmative action say that the house has three legislative days to reconsider to- days vote and that if this fails it was still possible for the house to take a vote on the senate resolution if it is passed by the upper body.
 The house chamber was again tammed today when the vote was taken.
 After the vote was announced there was great cheering among the men and women opponents of equal suf- frage. Anti-suffrage members were surrounded by enthusiastic women who showered them with congratulations and red roses, while suffragists, wear ing the yellow daffodil, sadly walked from the chamber, some of them in tears.

tInues. From our point OF view it
must not be forgotten that these agree

untouched before US. Hence the agree

only as Offering employment for ships

line would prove to be a great advan

evidently an immediate advantage to

parties declare that the arrangement is
