ence with loaning either magazines
or books? I've just had such an
experience this week with my
favorite copy of Barrie's plays.
About all one can do about the
nafstreatment Of a book is to slip
in some comment at some time
when It seems casual, something
about how you love bindings and
dislike to have them carelessly
treated. Once, I observed with
interest the gracious manner in
which one friend tenderly urged
a careless borrower to be more
careful about the feelings OF
book by a suggestion that she
wished that the paper jackets
OF books lasted longer SO that the
cover Of a book could have FUR

And think, perhaps, you
could do something Of this cover
kind with your thoughtless and
selfish neighbor. Could you, say
cover the next few that are to be
loaned with an extra paper cover,
the way they used to do in the
little red school house" a cover
of paper or Of some very light

Then you would have a timely
opportunity to say something like
this to your neighbor: do you

this cover? / find that they last
longer If they are covered" Or,
perhaps, II you have them bound
later, you could use this as a
legitimate reason: do you mind

a phenomenon of exquisite beauty.

much. Then the knowledge that
that ball Is a planet hundreds OF
times larger than the earth, and
that those rings outstretched like

consciously in producing the i'm

object is a delicate and exquisite

CAROL BELIEVED
ON WAY TOTAKE
SEAT ON THRONE

PARIS, Dec. "a (AP) = Carol,
former crown prince of Roumania,
has been absent from his home in
Neuilly, a suburb of Paris, for
more than thirty hours. Although
a lone servant at his villa said
this evening: "My master may re-
turn tonight" diplomatic circles
aver that the prince is on the way
to bucharest to resume the prero-
galives OF the Hohenzollern dynas-
ty, which he renounced some
months ago. Neighbors of "Mr.
Caraiman"-aS he is known in
Neuilly, believe that he has just
advanced his Christmas celebra-
ton.
Reports current in Neuilly are
that Carols private secretary
boarded the Simpson Express go
ing in the direction of Bucharest
Thursday night. Others say that
Carol left in an automobile Thurs
day afternoon in time to catch the
Simplon Express leaving Paris at
eight thirty p. m. Thursday 1t is
also reported that Carol boarded
the express at the first stop after
leaving Paris, as he did not want
to enter the train at the Paris ter

that Nine Magda Lupescu, who
came with him to France from
Roulnanla and who has been his
constant companion, was not with
him.
These friends are certain that
the prince has separated from
Mtne. Lupescu and that she is
now living about a mile from his
villa. They describe the demean-
or of Carol for the past three
months as that of man who has
seen a great light, and that
he appeaIs desirous OF having the
