of masculine emotion. Says he Of
his wife: 'Mrs. Hennes under

to marry another woman. Then
she got mad"
Unreasonable Mrs. Hennen!
And how many there are like her.
,iDr. Hennen is related by marriage
to the Vanderbilt famih, which
makes his views all the more inl-
portant. At the critical moment
Mrs. Hennen died--she was rea-
sonable in that, anyhow Every
thing will go smoothly Unless the
next Mrs. Hennen also proves un-
reasonable, when she reaches
forty-five.
How, where would you like to be

Sarah Bernhardt has a good
idea. She has bought a small, de-
serted, rocky island in the stormy
BayAOf Biscay, where Foch's Basque
ancestors developed their courage

years ago.
On that island, which has a
little harbor on the land side,
Bernhardt will build a white Car
rara marble statue of herself, with
arms outstretched. A light shin
ing from the head at night will
invite her neighbors, the fisher
men, to come in from the stormy
waters. You could hardly suggest
q better idea. She is making the
statue herself.
Man lives in the infinite and
fusses in the finite, hence two
things interest him-bigness and
littleness. Anybody would walk a
long way to see the biggest whale
in the world, and as far to see the
new shrew mouse, smallest man.

1t is as big as bumblebee,
knows as much as the average
has several children at a

one of them. 1t has perfect
arrangement of heart, lungs,
liver, brain, and all the rest.
Nothing is big, nothing is little.
In one corner of that mouse's
eye a million living things can
find room to live, breed, and die.
