UT ORD BYRoN's coRRE-

to which preliminary reference
was made two weeks ago, is a very
important addition to the litera-
ture about the English poet, but it
throws no new light upon the old
and ugly scandal which first fiared
up at the time of Byron's separa-
tion from his wife, which was
stimulated into new life by the
publication in September, 1869, in
Macmillan's Mdgdzine in England
and the Atlantic Monthly here, of
Harriet Beecher Stoves 1.-The True
Story of Lady Byron's Life; and
again in 1905, when Lord Love-
lace's "Astarte" appeared. To-day
there are those who believe Byron
and his half sister, Augusta Leigh,
to have been guilty, and there are
those who believe them to have
been entirely innocent. In both
cases belief is based more on in
clination than on evidence. The
matter has never been settled, and
probably never will be.
LROM the beginning the mar
1 riage Of George Gordon Byron
and Annabelle Milbanke was
doomed to failure. Byron, to ex-
press it bluntly, was good deal of
'rotter" where women we're con-
cerned. He proved that in the af-
fair with Caroline Lamb, who,
though persistent to the point of
being nuisance, did not deserve
the abuse that Byron heaped upon
her. Temperamentally he was not
designed to be husband. 1t was
not matter of the individual wom-
an; simply matrimony was not his
meter. The somewhat excitable
champions of Lady Byron have de-
lighted in picturing her as lofty
souled martyr. Perhaps she was.
Welded to curate or dull witted
city man she probably would have
proved an acceptable though not
overinteresting wife. But she hap
pened to marry Byron. Whatever
may have been the justification for
her vindictiveness, she carried that
vindictiveness with her to the
grave. Byron died in 1924. Thirty
two years later Lady Byron told
Harriet Beecher Stowe the story
that the latter later printed.
/ 7 has been told that when Abra-
! ham Lincoln first met Harriet
Beecher Stowe he took her tiny
hand in his great paw and said:
$50 this is the little woman who
caused this great war" That in
dorsement was not needed to con-
vince Mrs. Stowe that she was a
very important parsonage, placed
on this earth to regulate it's af-
fairs. In 1856, when she visited
England for the second time, she
was still in the blaze of her fame
as the author of Uncle Toms |
Cabin" At the time of her first |
visit in 1853 she had made Lady |
Byron's acquaintance. and they
had had some conversation and
correspondence. In 1856 Lady
Byron, who was i'll and believed
herself to be dying, sent for Mrs. |
Stowe. In the interview she i'm
parted what she believed or wanted |
to believe had been the secret of |
Byron's relations with Mrs. Leigh |
and gave "a brief memorandum of
the whole, with the dates affixed"
Mrs. Stoves verdict was that |
Lady Byron would be entirely
justifiable in leaving the truth to
be disclosed after her death, and
recommended that all the facts
necessary should be put in the
hands of some person to be so
published"

The buttons will publish late this
month "Afterglow," novel by
Edith Thomson. The story deals
with beautiful and mystery
shrouded woman of Al, who marries
a man of 25. The man has both
the beauty and the intolerance of
youth. Against background of
diplomatic life in Washington is
played the struggle of the woman
to keep her husbands love safe de-
spite the complications of her pass
ing years and in the face of the call
to him of youth in other women.
The letter o." although it takes
up but little space in the diction-
ary, has played rather large part
in literature. Authors casting about
for names for unasual characters
seem often to select one beginning
with 90" There is, fors instance,
the queer, almost quaint, "Queed,'
who was Henry Sydnor Harrisons
first success. There is Don Quixote,
the knight errant of foolish quest
ing. We might go back to Shakes
peare and elaborate on Ounce and
Mistress Quickley, but instead we
will refer you to the new novel by
Katharine Newlin Burt (author of
"The Branding Iron' and Hidden
Creek") and its title, which is sim
ply O." The hero, @. T. K.nwyd-
den, although quite unlike the
scholarly young Queed or the ro-
mantle knight of Spain, has also the
quality of "differentness" which is
associated with the letter "Q."

In Harriet Beecher Stoves ac-
count of her interview with Lady
Byron, Byron's wedding journey
words are given differently. "You
might have saved me once, madam!
You had all in your own power

Then you might have made me
what you pleased; but now you
will find that you have married a
devil"
pYRON'S attitude when mar
II riage in general was still in
prospect is reflected in a number
of letters in the two volumes that
have just been published. Writing
to Lady Melbourne, Annabelle Mil
banke's aunt, under date of Janu-
ary 16, 1914, he said, in part:
I do believe that marriage
would be my wisest step-but

don't admire the connection,
and l have not committed my
self by any attentions hitherto.

The only misery would be if 1

is unlikely-for habit has
strange power over my affec-
tions."
THERE is an ominous note in
I Byron's last known letter to
Lady Melbourne before his mar
riage. The ceremony took place
January 2, 1916, and the letter was
written some seven weeks earlier.
DO you know have grave
doubts il this will be mar

the very reverse of our imagin-
ings. She is overrun with fine

EioR a little time after the mar
riage there was comparative
calm, but between August and Oc-

WERE SYMBOLS OF CREATION
Among Ancient Egyptians the Beetle
Was Believed to Be the Form
of the Sun God.

A scarab is the representation Of
the sacred beetle found on Egyptian
gems, coins, mummies, Obelisks and
works of art. The appearance and
rapid multiplication of beetles in the
mud left on the subsidence of the
Nile gave rise to the belief In their
spontaneous generation, and they be-
came the symbol of creation and crea-
tive power. In their circular shape
and the bright golden tints of their
wing cases they were thought to re-
semble the shape and luster of the
sun and thus were taken to be the
forms in which the sun god appeared
Scarabs were cut in stones and em-
ployed as seals and amulets. They
were bored through their length so
that they could be strung like beads.
After the commingling Of the Egyptian
with other races. agnOstics and Chris
tians Interpreted the meaning of these
gems in accordance with their own
beliefs. Those of the most ancient
period, such as are found on mummies,
are inscribed with the names Of the
kings held In highest veneration,
Thutmosis III, Rameses II and Ameno-
phis Ill, and frequently with some
hieroglyphic symbol. The larger of
them have some short religious or
historic inscription on their under
side.

Black Hawk in Boston.

For some years Black Hawk lived
quietly on q small reservation near
Des Moines. In 1887 the peace-loving
Keokuk took h.m with a party of Sank
and Fox chiefs again to Washington.
and on this trip he made visit to
Boston. The officials of the city re.
ceived tue august warrior and his COM
panions In Fanenil hall, and the gov
ernor of the commonwealth paid them
similar honor at the statehouse.
Some war-dances were performed on
the Comtnon for the amusement Of the
populace. and afterward the party
was taken to see performance by
Edwin Forrest at the fremont thea
ter. Here all went well, except that
at an exciting point in the play the
Indians burst into warwhoop, to

One reason why milk is so excel

calcium, which is the principal miner
nj Of the human body, contributing to
the makeup Of the bones and teeth
A grown person carries in his skele-
ton about four pounds of it, says an
exchange. The body contains about
three ounces of sodium. combined
with chlorine to form common salt.
There are also about two ounces of
magnesium, which Is silvery-white
metal. Another highly infiammable
metal contained In the body is potas-
slum-about two and one-half ounces
Of it. The body contains about So
ounces Of phosphorus. Seven-eighths
Of the phosphorus is in. the bones
