Sitting bolt Upright" "


Sitting bolt Upright"
TN his newly published "Puppet
L Show of Memory" Mr.. Maurice
Barring says that nobody ever sat
so bolt upright at table" as his
great aunt, Lady Georgiana Grey,
who had played the harp to Byron
and survived til 1900. She cal
hardly have been more upright in
her demeanor than Ruskin's mothers
who, as her son relates. used to
travel from sunrise 70 sunset on
summers day without once leaning
back in the carriage" Though
so keen on department. Mrs. Ruskin
did not hold with exercise in any
form except walking. She
wouldn't let me ride" says RusHtns
lest I should be thrown; boating
was dangerous because ! might be
drowned; and boxing my mother
thought a vulgar form of exercise
However, Ruskin, according to his
biographer, Sir E. T. Cook, -some-
times slipped the chain, and with
Mr. Allen as accomplice, sworn to
secrecy, would indulge in evening
rows on the Thames. From the

New Light on Marie Bashkirtseffs
NEW light is promised on the
IN life and character of Marie
Bashkirtseff, that young Russian
artist of genius, whose work in the
plcin air school of Bastien-Lepage
made so great an impression in
Paris in the eighties, and whose
Journal" published after her early
death, caused a profound literary
sensation. The journal was ac-
knowledged to be mere selection
from the voluminous diaries which
the writer, had kept from child
hood, and the portion published
was said to have been unjustifiablyi
edited" For years the complete
diaries remained in the possession
of Marie's two mothers"-Mme.
Bashkirtseff and her sister.-both
of whom lived in their villa at Nice
in close seclusion. In 1917 the Rus
sion Revolution brought upon them
complete material ruin which
neither Of them long survived. Now
the literary treasures of the villa,
which, besides the diary, included
many records of family inter-
est, have been rescued from dis
persal by the timely Intervention Of
French journalist.-From the
Manchester Gaardion.
Disraeii as a Sehoolboy.
M 0ST of the young Disraeli's
Ifl time at Higham Hall-as Es-
sex Hall was then called-was
spent in studying the classics, and
DR.. Cogan is said to have remarked,
Il don't like Disraeli; / never
could get him to understand the
subjunctive." Disraeli, in speak
ing of his old school, said. Meth
ing was thought of there but the
two dead languages; but he was an
admirable instructor in them :"
The scholar seems to have been
singularly successful in escaping
instruction, for il is generally adj
mitted that Disraeli's knowledge Of
Latin was little. and of Greek less.
The room above the stables-pan-
eled half way TO the ceiling-still
contains the old wooden desks used
by the scholars, and is reached by
a rickety outside wooden staircase.
The house itself must be at least
800 years old. DIR. Cogan and his
academy appear in several of his
pupils novels, notably in Vivian
Grey" The Young Duke" and es-
pecially in "Contarini Fleming. -

Brummell, King of the Dandies.

VI ehS s~oho'@Ss
r HAVE said he was the last who
l. gave up himself to his one
dominant idea; and this is substan-
TALLY true. He was the first and the
last of the dandies. The latter title
has generally been given to D'Orsay,
and inasmuch as he was perhaps
the final exponent of consummate
art in dress, he might be thought to
have good grounds for contesting
the claim with Brummell. But
D'Orsay was very different man
from his predecessor. To be a
dandy one can be nothing else. All
thoughts, feelings, aims must be
concentrated in one overmastering
passion. That is why a man of
intellect could never attain pre-
eminence in this direction. A great
commander may be a great dandy.

A SUCCESSFUL editor once
IN told me that he thought
"A many writer's did their best
work when they had passed the
exhaustion point and were tapping
their second layer Of energy.
I've an idea that this applies to
many of us in all sorts OF cailings.
Ali we have to do is keep going.
The other day was walking to
my office, and when I was about
half q mile away I began to realize
that I was tired. Then recognized
the fact that had only ten blocks
TO walk. and that I did't have to
walk more than one Of them at q
time-indeed, that 1 had only to
take one step at a time. 1t
seemed absurd to think Of myself
as too tired to take another
STEP" So I kept on going, and
arrived at my destination feeling
refreshed and ready for another
form Of effort.
How often have you said: I'm
too tired to take another STEP

mere study of going on. And soon
you were ready for more exertion

Of energy beyond which there are

II only you dig through to them.
Most of the folks who complain
Of having too mucfeto do and Of
being perpetually tired, could do
far more than their daily assign

When we wish hard enough for
things, our want Is likely to drive
US to getting up and doing some
thing about It all. Sitting still and
waiting for the ripe plums to fall
But wanting the plums and then
about getting them, leads to action.
Being tired generally means
nothing worse than being dis

member is that nobody has to take
more than a step at q time-and
that one step can't be too much
for anyone. After the one step
comes another-and then Inc

the second wind which makes II
