In a goodly ship Of oak Beowulf
and his thames left the shores Of
Geatland and took the ocean-paths

the country of King Hrothgar. Twas
there a coast warden of this sorrow
full king did see them and, seeing
them, went forward to find their busi-

Beowulf spoke to the coast war
den and told him that the Geatmen
came only on peaceful purpose to
good Hrothgar and wished to OBJ
tain leave of this king to fight the
monster Grendel.
Right gladly did the warden pass
them by. instructing them whittier
to go and assuring them he would
watch their fair ship. The Geatmen,
under Beowulf. then marched on to-
ward the palace of the king.

The existing furniture vogue for
unmatched pieces has brought us
many delightful period reproductions
al prices within reach of the average
purse. Sketched is n particularly
faithful copy of a William and Mary
settee.
When william the Stakeholder and
his consort Mary asccnded the Eng
ltsh throne in 1858 they brought with
them the Dutch conception of domes-
tic beauty and comfort, and the fur
niture of that period reflects this new
tendency. This little settee, with it's
double arched back, shaped stretcher
scroll feet and needlepoint upholstery
is typical.
While especially suitable to the
English type of dwelling, its simple
dignity allows its use with perfect
good taste in any informal home and
in rooms of mixed periods.

emerald engagement rings still pre-

Perhaps If the Prince of Wales
were to become engaged Americans
might be more interested in the style

fiancee. for we have already shown
our ability to follow the princely
style even more devotedly than the
English do But there seems to be
little immediate danger that we shall
have such a royal example, and we
may go right on choosing whatever
style of engagement ring we like.
We are singularly conservative in
such matters however, and just be

deemed the most proper engagement

Silence Has Its Curative Powers
by LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

Silence is healing for all all
ments." SO runs an old Jewish
proverb. 1t is In limo with the other
moro familiar adagc, silence is
golden Tho first is more specific,
however. 1t defines silence as Il cura-
tive remedy rather than precious
substance which may or may not be
put TO the wisest use. 1t is an adage
that home makers may well dwell
upon. 1t contains one of the great
solutions TO domestic happiness.
There is no limit set upon tho
power Of silence. 1t is said to cure
all ailments SO both physical and
mental troubles come under its bcnifi-
cent influence We all know that
persons who arc continually telling
over their ailments drain our sympa-
thies and finally become horCs in CON
versation. The complaining member
of family is never the favoritc
Physicians eudeaVor to get the minds
of patients off their ailments, because
dwelling on iutrmities increases tho
hold on physiques. Silence would
prove curative, as the old proNrrh
asserts.
Silence and Happiness.
I know of ono husband who de-
clares if no one would talk before 10
o'clock in the morning happiness
would prevail in homes. This idea is
in line with the significance of hoth
proverbs. It certainly is true that
much of the misunderstanding that
arises in families starts with some
chance expression of an opinion in
the morning before the minds have
become keenly alert or the cravings
of an empty stomach satisfied 1t
may he that a statement is Calcu-
lated to cause controversy. or there
may be no Interior motive or any
lack of kindly feeling back OF the re-
mark. Sometimes the fault lies with
the hearers Their lack of perception
may be responsible for a misinterpre-
tation Of Il really harmless remark.
Silence would prove 4 curc-all in
either case.
Avert Dissension.
There is no doubt but the wife Cor
the husband) who introduces a diff
cult subject of conversation before a
meal, whether it is breakfast. dinner
or supper, does hazardous thing.
Nerves are apt to be a bit cdgy at
such times, and discretion than is
the better part of Valor. The wife
who waits, even though she has to
exercise patience because a subject
Is uppermost in her thoughts, is the
tactful wife. At such times silence
is indeed the cure for imminent fric-
tion and trouble.
Kind ThougtS.
Do not enter into a discussion when
a remark that rankIes has been made
Silence may clear the atmosphere
Put the kindliest meaning possible on
the remark until the intent of the
one making il is fully understood
Probably there was no sting back OF
the unfortunate expression. How
much smoother home life would be il
only this method were followed. IT,

ROME, Jan. 1.-Premier Mus
solini suddenly descended on
the opposition and in a series of
raids seized opposition news
papers and searched the homes
Of former members of the fas-
cisti and promisent republicans.
The action is looked upon
here as proof that the black
shirt dictator feels himself in a
desperate situation and has de-
cided to take the offensive.
For Interests of Mussolini.
The police excused themselves on
The ground that their action was with
he object of safeguarding the inte-
'ests Of the country.
One Of the houses raided was that of
ormer deputy Alfredo Misuri, dis
sident fascist. Misiuri in letter to
the press made a vicious attack on
Mussolini and declared that the search
for arms was only subterfuge. Il
have in my possession enough weapons
to defend the safety of my person and
the inyiolability of my domicile"
declared Misuri unless the state
cheka increases in number the execu-
tlolers which they throw against me

The paper which published Misu-

side from George Bernard, chief edi-

charged the former chancellor and
present foreign minister with throw.
ing dust in the eyes Of the German
people in his "Anglophile" utterances
He pictured France as friend of
Germany, rather than the deadly
enemy Stresemann pictured her.
"Stresemann would lead the Ger
man public to believe England limo
cent as a lamb and France the incar-
nation of evil" Bernard said. 1.-THE
contrary is the truth.
"The British controllers complaints
resulted in postponement of the evacu.
alton OF Cologne. British industries
demanded the destruction of German
industries, which are dangerous com.
petitors.
"Stresemann's close relations with
Britain personally probably are re-
sponsible for Germany's relapse into
the old mistake Of trying to profit by
playing France against England"
