TRUE DA VINCI IN LOUVRE?
Museum Director SCOTS at Theory
That Famous Painting Has Been
Brought to America.

Artists and friends of the Louvre
museum may reassure themselves.
The original of Leonardo da Vinci's
painting, la Belle Ferronniere,"
hangs in the museum and Is not in
America This on the authority Of
DEstournelles de Constant, director
Of national museums.
"Thls is an old story" said the di-
rector. "lt Is not the first time that
the authenticity of our masterpieces
has been questioned by foreign collec-
tors. There seems to be no way of
putting a stop to the habit.
"The painting entered among our
collections under the title of La Belle
Ferronniere' was certainly from the
brush of Leonardo da Vinci himself
1t was among the art treasures of
Francis | and, In 1912, Pere Dan, the
kings minister of finances, identified
it as the portrait of the duchess of
Mantau. Certain historians, on the
other hand. have maintained that it
was that Of Lucrezla Criveli. 1t is
generally conceded today that the pic
ture represents La Belle Ferroniere,
one of Francis Is favorites.
"Whoever 1t may represent, how
ever, the painting had always hung In
the private apartments of the king
until 1t was transferred to the Louvre.
Its authenticity might possibly have
been questioned had 1t been stolen at
any time. But no such misadventure

FATE REVOLVING ABOUT |
OLD MARRIAGE LICENs6
Bureau and Clergyman Did Not
Agree About the Ancient I
Date. .

Fate revolving around a marriage
license issued in 1912, worked its devi.
ous way for ten years with Daniel
o. Yazzy and Miss Lou Bradbury,
both of Detroit, when Daniel, after a
stormy voyage on the sea Of matri.
mony, through the divorce court and
back to double harness." remarked
the first choice of his heart here.
Daniel and Lou were married in the
early 19O0's, but quarreled and were
divorced. The couple were sweet
hearts from school days in Indiana
and, as they say now, "their quarrel
was all about nothing"
Then Daniel met another "love" and
led her to the altar, but within a few
years he was back in the divorce court
again.
In 1912 Daniel met Lou again and
began to court his former first wife.
Things approached a stage where he
thought 1t advisable to have q mar
riage license handy. and he secured
one, but Lou proved coy and refused
to take "the chance" And so for the
last ten years Daniel has been trying
to persuade Lou he was the fright
man."
He succeeded and the couple went
before a minister who agreed to re-
marry them, but when ne took look
at the license dated 1912 he told them
to get new one The license bu-
reau held though that with a new en-
velop to replace the time-worn wrap
per, 1t was as good as new and the
minister would have to be satisfied
with 1912 date.

Jap GIRLS GET INTO Line
Increasing Physical Activity and lnde.
pendence Are Regarded az Of
Particular Significance.

A new freedom in physical move
ment is discernible If not obvious in
feminine Japan. 1t can be noted on
the street in the little girls play. AL
ways they have had the most varied
line of games and were fairly active,
but nothing so unladylike as jumping
over a stick, sort of pole vault with
out the pole. Now this Is not unusual
in the larger towns, and surprisingly
high do these wooden clogged, XII
monoed, pig-tailed youngsters jump,
and with much abandon.
In the girls schools there Is much
more activity than even three years
ago of the kind that past generations
Of American mothers called tomboy-
lshness. and increasing interest in ten
mis- and basketball. Also 1t is not un-
becoming now for maiden or matron
to hold up her head In line with her
spine, and frankly look on at this
world and all its membranes. For
merly 1t was almost the great unpar-
donahle not to carry the head slightly
forward with eyes downcast. This
attitude OF Illumination is now Decoln-
ing fearfully old-fashioned.
Foreign teachers of long experience
say that the change in this respect is
striking in the classroom. Students
when reciting now look up squarely at
the instructor instead Of at their knees
as formerly. AS this is not a taught
thing, but the reflex of change with
In, vital enough to overcome teaching
and inherited tendency, 1t Is signlti-
cant.
Another change, trifling, but a
straw that shows the direction and ve-
locity of the current, Is the growing
habit Of man and wife to walk side by
side on the street instead of my lady
pigeon-toeing along about pace In the
rear of her lord.-Scribner's Magazine.

Swells' Pride.
