What then7 Ought not Democrats to
be glad to see the ideas for which
they commended year ago accepted
and advanced today by their politi-
cal opponents? Questions of consis-
tency or even Of sincerity should not
be allowed to count in 80 great u
matter. The privilege Of poking fun
at the Republicans need not be denied
the Democrats. The facts invite it
too strongly to be resisted. The mi
nority may be allowed to point out
to the majority that it has changed
front, has taken the first steps in the
path which it vowed it would never
tread, and is now open to urging to
go the whole way, on the principle
that while the light holds out to bum

understand the result was that
it took those foreign diplomats SO
by surprise that they had to gulp

that something wonderful was not
accomplished, for who ever heard of
many obstacles to be overcome, and
skillful engineering to remove them,
but genuine spirit of giving as
well rs taking, would go a long ways
to remove them. 1t looked at first
like the little yellow man from the

Mans backbone consists Of two

Each of the % is called a verte-

nine others fused together in two

Four vertebrate form the coccyx.
which in the lower animals is the be-

Each vertebra consists Of a solid
body OF considerable size and an
arch made up Of several Irregular
shaped bits OF bone. These verte-
brae are piled on each other in such
a way that the arch Of one is directly
above the arch of the one beneath.
IN this way a bony canal is formed
and through this passes the spinal
cord or spinal marrow, very i'm
pertain. part of the nervous system.
While these separate blocks are
bound together by strong ligaments.
they are freely movable within Ger
tain limits. This is why the body is
so flexible. why it bends so readily,
backward and forward. and from

Whose Sayings Are Still Remembered
By MARK STUYVESANT

According TO many Of the witty
men and women who formed the
pre- Raphaelite movement, which
vastly influenced the artistic express
sion and understanding of their day
about 1S16--in England. wit was
not only evidenced by words. but by
every action in life. Indeed. they
would delight in showing just how
clever and how witty had been some
action of their number. and even
how wit was shown in his goodness.
At the forefront Of this movement,
which had as its purpose the draw
ing of things as the artist saw them
rather than according TO what he
thought the rules Of art" demand
ed, was Ford MADDOX Brown. 1t was
Brown, who. with Dante Gabriel
Rossetti, began the Pre- Raphael
Brotherhood, under the influence Of
the writings of John Ruskin.
Brown was a stalwart figure, with
square white beard. a rudy COM
plexion and thick white hair parted
in the middle we are told by Ford
MADDOX Tueffer in his interesting
Memories and Impressions. Brown
lived in the great. gloomy. old house
so picturesqUesly described by
Thackeray in The Newcomes," as
the London house in which Col.
Newcome lived.
During the years Of which we are
speaking, hard drinking was a Gus
tom. One of the most solemnly
witty things Thomas Carlyle ever
wrote or was ever known TO have
thought. is expressed in two SEN
fences taken from his diary. 1t is a
description Of what ne saw and felt
on Christmas morning. 1t reads:
To-day. on going out 1 observed
that the men at the corner were
more than unusually drunk. And
then I remembered that it was the
birthday of their Redeemer."

The bindings are made OF yellow
flannel, also. said Miss Shane.
what a charming touch those
black embroidered arrowheads give
the collarl" I exclaimed.
"Yes. they do. And the stitching
IN black around the bind OF yellow
on the front suggests the bosom Of
a shirt" replied Miss Shane.
Il see the slashes on the sleeves
are ornamented with black arrow
heads. which correspond with those
on the peplum," I eaid.
The buckle OF yellow flannel is
rather interesting Don't you think
IL is?" Miss Shane asked.
Indeed II is" I replied. This
blouse suggests so many POSSIBLE
ties for any one who understands a
bit about sewing and color combina-
tons"
yes, it could be copied in a dark
er color. and the trimmings made Of
a lighter shade" remarked Miss
Shane.
I'D like to make a sketch Of IL,
and OF one OF your most charming
pieces of neckwear." I said.
You're very welcome 10 do that. I
believe you should sketch this YES
tee" she said, as she lifted the orig
inal OF the accompanying illustra-
ton.
That's a darling, Gray net with
green embroidery is a combination

she handed II TO me.
It's really very simple, but the
tiny tucks hold the fullness in al the
waistline so that a pleasing contour
IS suggested" replied Miss Shane.

duplicate OF It," 1 said.
