France. Until the very eve of the
Revolution it played the part of a
sovereign principality, with feudal
jurisdiction over high and low, main
tanning its seat of authority in what
might be described as a neutral can
ton between France and Savoy and
possessing its establishments all over
Europe. These monks were, in fact.

put it to me, in some ways the sue
cessors of the Knights of st. John,
and right up to our times they pre-
served the traditions and certain of
the prerogatives of the great eeclesi-
astical feudalism.
And this great tradition is not to
be lost. Not long after the depar-
ture of the monks the University of
Grenoble had, with the assent of the
state, which now supports the mon
astery qs historical monument,
conceived the idea of reconstructing
the Grande Chartreuse, of reestab-
fishing it as an international center
of learning. This scheme, which was
on the point of taking shape when
the war broke out, is expected to be
carried out next year, asd it is hoped
to interest foreign universities in it.

After crossing the fine, spacious
court Of honor, with its two large
fountain basins, you pass through a
massive doorway into that part of
the monastery which was set apart
for strangers and visitors of i'm

nous wings, with protruding turrets,
which contain imposing, austere
halls bearing such names as Sale de
France, of Italy, of Germany, of
burgundy, so called because they
served as meeting places for the
Carthusian priors from those coun-
tries. For the order was above all
an international one; every country
of Europe was represented. One of
its most revered members was St.
Hugh of Avalon, Bishop of Lincoln.
In the last few years before the dis
solution, however, the majority of
the fathers were Germans and Aus
trians.
The order was fercely jealous of
its privileges and its independence.
From the time of its foundation, in
the eleventh century, it had many a

Robin liked her so much that he used
his magic powers to help her. At
night when all of the family was in
bed he would do this girls work,
spinning, weaving, boiling meal and
breaking flax and hemp.
In the morning the girl was sur
prised to find her work done so that
she could play and have good time.
After several mornings her curiosity
got the better Of her. She waited
that night and hid to find out who
was doing her work. When she no.
tieed that he had few clothes, she
thought she could do something for
him. Several days later she left a
little coat for him. But clothes were
not needed by this gay fellow. He
would have preferred food. The

was with a cruel man who tried to
abuse him. Robin changed himself
into horse. The man, thinking,
that by some good luck he had
found fine horse, mounted and
started to ride away. Kicking up
his heels, the horse threw the man
over his head, The horse did not
try to run away. So the man
thought he would mount again.
He was mean about it and dubbed
the poor horse, which stood pa
tiently while he got on. Then he
trotted off as meek as anything. But
as they were crossing a stream,
Robin suddenly changed himself back
into boy, darted for the shore and
left the man struggling in the water.
Robin went on and on, playing

tellers have told these, and you will
no doubt read them when you are

But he certainly must have, she de-

To Restore an Ancient Monastery

T E OW an old center of culture
and, learning is being re-
vived at the famous mother
house of the Carthusian monks, in
France, near ST. Pierre de Char
treuse, is told in The London Times
by French correspondent.
From st. Pierre de Chartreuse
the way leads for a mile or so
through an absolute desert-a waste
of dark, close-set woods, of dizzy
crests and jumbled masses of rocks,
where the silence is broken only by
the murmurs of mountain torrents
and the cow bells Of an invisible
herd.
Suddenly, at turn in the path,
there comes into view, set in a
double circle of mauve heights and
bright green meadows, that vast
monastic city which was the mother
house of the famous Order of Car
thusians.
The Carthusian monks were ex-

would have taken too long and been
very much harder to give it by let
ter. And then there are many
things which one can say but can't
write. Don't you want to have a
confidential talk with mc?"
She had a winning voice, and in
her general attitude there was a
cordiality which quickly disarmed
Clotilde. They talked together.
Florent, or, rather, Florence, was a
master i'll the art Of asking ques-
tions. Clotilde answered readily,
because she seemed to divine al
ways what the questioner was driv-
ing at.
When the examination was over
Florence thought a while. "Your
dissatisfaction" she said, isn't due
TO your husband; it comes from life
itself. You are wrong in believing
that you would have been happier
if you had married a man personally
more attractive and more sensitive
to the charms of the Other sex. For
he would probably have been untrue
to you; or, at least, would have
kept you suspecting that he was.
Besides, one gets accustomed to
charm and then charm no longer
counts. After five years, how much
charm of that sort tends to be-
come a mere matter of indifference?

you might have dreamed of. But

Wanderings about where people lived
got to a farmhouse in the evening
just before a big wedding. The
spirit of mischief possessed him.
When the guests had gathered he
played all sorts of pranl1s upon them
He would slip up to two men who
were talking, and, making himself
invisible, he would hit one and then
the other. The men would think
each that the other was hitting him.
They became angry and were soon
actually fighting. Then Robin would
play the same prank ON others. He
kissed the girls and pulled their
hair. In the end ne would have
broken up the entire wedding had
not his father seen what was 60
ing on.
The king of the fairies thought
Robin had done quite enough mis-
chief. SO he came and carried him
off to fairyland. Here is fairy song
from Midsummer Nights Dream"
which is sung by a sprite:

Through bush, through brior,
Ouer park, ore,' pale,
Through food, through fire,

e T WAS on a Saturday evening
4 in May that Mime. Clotilde Fer,
vanges realized definitely the in
tolerableness Of her lot. Through
the open window she saw the stars,
which at that season, like the roses
and the nightingales, stir thoughts
and songs of love. At desk near
by she saw her husband, Edouard
Fervanges, poring over some draft
ing sheets.
Iaouard was an engineer, thick
set and hirsute. He wore luxuri-
ant beard and tufts of hair pro-
jected from his ears and his nostrils.
His square-shaped hands We're COW
cred with a similar growth. Edouard
Feryanges had thick jaw, fiat
tened nose and the faithful and
patient eyes of a dog.
He worked hard--like an OK, as
Clotilde used to say. But this OK
earned 10000 francs year, which
permitted Nine. Fervanges to keep
two servants and have comfort
able home and stunning clothes
even at after-the-war prices.
He loved his wife in q calm and
silent fashion. She held it against
him that he had no real appreciation
Of the charm OF women.
Life runs along" she said to
herself, with bitterness, looking
low at the worker with hairy fin
gers and now at the stars. "But
what DO | get out Of life? Exactly

She forgot the frigid and parsi-

to see him. She hesitated for day
or two. She had great deal of
self-respect. If she decided to go it
was because the poets letter sug-
gested merely a friendly talk
But she didn't neglect to make
herself as charming as possible for
their friendly interview. That wasn't
so difficult. She was attractive,
though-not beautiful in the ordinary
sense.
Florent Magalle lived in sumptu-
Gus apartment house in the Avenue
de la Grande Armee. The janitress,
installed in an imposing Office, told
her when she mentioned the poets

On the third floor to the right
femme de chambre asked her to wait
a few minutes and took her into a
salon in Louis Philippe style, ele-
giant in all its appointments. There
she spent some palpitating moments.
She felt that from now on she was
going to become plaything Of des-
tiny and that, probably, she would
let herself be launched on sea of
adventures, travelling as far on it
as Florent Magalle might wish to go.
She tried to picture what the author
looked like. Strangely enough, she
knew absolutely nothing ab6ut him.

Il dealt and bid a heart. Instead
of bidding spade, which his cards
abundantly justified, A doubled the
heart at three tables, and Y passed,
to see what B had to say. Of course,
B called the clubs, and z went to two

would seem to deny the clubs, so A

knowledge of the workings of the
feminine heart.

AS may be imagined, she didn't
speak of love in the first letter. She
limited herself to praising the poet
and quoting verses which had par
ticularly moved her.
Florent Magalle sent an apprecia-
tive reply. Clotilde was delighted
and eagerly continued the corre-
spondence. She had sort of elo-
quence and described cleverly the
melancholy sufferings of lonely

asking some personal advice, so that
Florent Magalle invited her to come

Come, don't you want me to go to
see you--some day when your hus-
band will be at home?"
Clotilde agreed. A. little later
Florence paid her a visit at the hour
when Edouard returned from his
office. They asked her to stay for
dinner. The poetess made the taci-
turn engineer talk and brought out
many things which were in him but
which Clotilde had never discovered
before.

they two were alone, "for honey

with him. He wouldn't exasperate

wouldn't flirt. And having loved
me once he would love me always,
as he loves you. You have nothing
10 complain of. And, besides, don't
deceive yourself about it; he is a
very intelligent man."
Since happiness and unhappiness
are created by the imagination,
Clotilde ceased to be unhappy from
the day she believed she had no
cause to be SO. AS in the days
when, a poor girl, she was eagerly
seeking a husband, she judged
that comfortable home, pretty
clothes, the theater and teas were
an ideal which ought to satisfy any
reasonable little wife.
New-York tribune., 1921-02-27

IA I
!" ventionally, is a good thing
in its proper place, there
seems to be growing tendency to
make it work overtime and to ask
the partner to pick out a declaration
when the doubler could do it just as
we'll himself.
There are two or three things to
be taken into account when consid-
''ering double. One Of the most i'm
portant is the suit that the partner
is likely to call. Cautious players
avoid doubling on hands that are
short in one suit, for fear the part
ner may be long in it, and then it
may be necessary to deny it, for
fear he might have only about nine
high. In such cases the doubler
might better have bid the suit he
runs to in the first place.
| While the principal object in
doubling is undoubtedly to build up
a contract that promises a fair
chance for game, it may also be used
as pusher, so that even if the take
out of the double is not promising,
so far as going game is concerned,
it may induce the original bidders
te~ go bit too far with their own
contract. In such cases nothing has
been lost by doubling.
The typical hand for a double,
when a suit is bid, is two honors in
each of the three other suits, none of
which are more than four cards. If
there is a ive-card suit in Che hand,
the double is an alternative to call
ing it. So fond are some players of
the double that they will never call
these five-card suits, even if they are
hearts Or spades, but take a gamble
on the partner calling them in an
sWer to the double. This is hoping
that there will be nine cards Of the
suit between the two hands, when
eight would be quite enough under
ordinary circumstances. If the
partner calls some other suit, there
is no way to find OUT if he could have
supported the five-card suit except
to bid it, which might just as well
have been done in the first place.
Here is deal that was played in
duplicate game which shows how
game may be missed by abusing the
double:
