HEROINES OF HISTORY
The Rise and Fall Of EngLonds "Perditos
BY MARK STUYVESANT

TN the last half OF the eight
zenith century there seems to
have been more fine painters
working at the same time than
during any other period Of Eng
lish history.
Among these great artists were
Reynolds, Gainsborough, Hoppner,
Cosway and Romney. And,
strange as it may seem, they all
chose as one Of their most inter
esting subjects the same woman.
The pictures Of this beautiful
creature may be seen bearing the
title Of ''Perdita' in the Wallace
collection in London.
How Mary Robinson-1or that
was her real name-came to be
known as ''Perllita" is interesting.
Mary Robinson was the daugh-
ter Of the captain Of a whaling
ship-Captafn Darby. When Mary
married a clerk in London in 1774,
1t was with great pride that her
father spoke of his pretty daugh-
ter's brilliant match.
A great gift Of beauty was
Mary Robinson's. Here was the
kind Of compelling beauty which
draws the attention Of important
men and women and leaves a
name that demands historical
mention.
After a very few years Of resi-
dence in London, Mary Robinson's
beauty became famous, and it was
through her lovely appearance and
charm that she won a place in so
ciety which otherwise she could
not have taken.
But i'll fortune fell upon the
young couple, perhaps through
Mary's extravaganza, and her hus.
band was condemned to prison for
debt. His faithful wife acconpa-
MED him to the dreary place to
which he was sent and there
shared his Imprisonment.
But her secluded life there was
not spent idly. It was within the
prison walls that Mary wrote
verse-and very good verse. So
charming were her lines that her

LUCY LOWELL
ON RULES OF
MARRIAGE
By LUCY LOWELL.

by LUCY LOWEAALh
"HEY were going to be mar
ried-the pretty little heiress
and the promising young
attorney.
They were ever 50 much IN love,
and they had everything pronis-
ing happy future-friends, con-
genial families, mutual likes and
dislikes, Progressiveness and
wealth. They were very joyous.
Still things do go wrong. Even
the happiest union sometimes be-
comes unhappy. OF course, they
were but human and anything
might happen!
So they decided to take out
sort OF insurance on their married
life. 1t was written in the form Of
a deca1ogue, ten points on what to
do-and what not to do-after they
should be established in their new
home.
1t was the girl who wrote the
policy" though her young man
gave plenty OF assistance. And
they spent days and days in the
domestic relations court. listening
to the troubles of married couples
and wished to be married no
longer, before they analysed all the

guard against shipwreck.
That was some time ago-five or
six years. And now they are in
the domestic relations court them
selves. adding the story Of their
own troubles, to all the stories that
have gone before, and declaring
that since their insurance policy is
merely a scrap of paper they, too,
wish to be married no longer.
! wonder just how much that
policy had to do with misdirecting
their course?
wonder, indeed, just how often
a hyper-analytical attitude toward
human relationship ends in de-
stroying it's peace and beauty?

eous thing and cannot be induced

. street, who is active in
the BE Kind to Animals
movement, sends in the follow
ing which appeared in q Los
Angeles paper:
There are two facts that own
ers Of live goldfish need to be
taught. One is that fish live
where there is plenty Of shade,
and their eyeIds are poorly de-
veloped or entirely absent, &C
cording to the International En-
cyclopedia and other scientific
authorities.
Therefore, when fish are put
into transparent globes which ad-
NIT all the light there is and
from all directions at once, the
fish cannot cover their eyes
and cannot find n shady place
in which to hide.
"Stones and other small objects
such as water plants, can be
put In the bowl in such posi-.
lions as to make Il little shade
between and under some of
them.
1.-THE activity of live goldfish
in glass globes, so thoughtlessly
admired by their owners, is a
frenzied activity, a vain effort
to find relief from glare.
1.-THE other fact is that there
is air in the water where fish
live in nature. Aerated water is
a necessity Of life for fish. Water
in globes is still and free from
air. The fish swim about with
gaping mouths, gasping for
breath and actually smothering
for want of air.
"Of course, dealers in goldfish
tell prospective customers the
fiction that the trade demands.
"It is hoped that persons who
enjoy seeing goldfish in globes
and who teach children to ad-
mire them in prisons will con-
slider these facts"

Chamberlain, March S.-A few min

souri, river bridge here went out again
last night and eastern South Dakota
is once more shut of from t~ransporta-
ton facilities here with the western
half, for several days at least.
This bridge, for years a sourc OF
expense and worry, has piling at both
the east and west ends and has a pom
toon on the east end which is shifted
to permit boats through. It Is the
practice for the trains to stop at the
west end and whistle before going on
the bridge. II the bridge appears all
right, the bridgeman signals the train
to go ahead and people here are re-
joicing that the bridge went out last
night a few minutes before the train
arrived as 1t might easily have occur

summer the pontoon tipped up and

river can be resumed here next week
