ERNESTINE SOPHIE. BY Sophia

DURE romance. whose job Is to

of English blood and training. From
the placid life of an English rectory
Ernestine Sophie, when only IA years
old, is taken to the small European
kingdom Of Nicomedia. of which she
has been discovered to be the leglti-
mate crown princess. In Nicomedla
Ernestine Sophie. rather lonesome
little girl, sets up a great friendship
for her foreign grandfather, king of
the tiny state. From this point OF
mutual love and friendship there
energies an interesting to-do between
the pair. The little girl becomes a
real refreshment to the tired old man.
And the king stands as her only JOY
in this strange place of tremendous
ceremonies and constant quarrels.
That is. the king is her only joy save
the puppy that she brought from
home. After plots uncOuntable, all
bent upon change in the ruling
house OF Nicomedia, Ernestine Sophie
becomes the queen--a flapper on the
throne. Almost anything could hap

chosen by the author Of this adven-
ture The most of these things do
happen. and rather more plausibly

the purely fanciful foundation of the

significant element in the composition.
The head, seen almost in prohle turns
slightly toward the observer, and is
painted with amazing virility and di'
rectneSS. The suavity of brushwork
seen in the LarZ Anderson portrait

bolder style: in the former the paint

gently, even lovingly. over the beauti-
full surfaces. rendering textures. mod

brush has been used almost as a
chisel and the painter has become
sculpturesque, each stroke has been
made to tell and not one more has
been used than was necessary. The
result is powerful presentation of
an outstanding man of affairs. A man
among men, one Of great dignity.
force, mentality, flnancier and art
lover, a striking personality, yet one
who holds himself with utmost ret
icence and reserve. All this can be
read in the portrait go simply painted
that the painter is forgotten in the
result. Yet those who know will
marvel at the skill-the power both
or perception ana eXeCutlOIl.
The portrait of Miss Mellon again
Is different. 1t is a picture Of youth
painted with freshness and in the
style of the daylight in coloring,
high in key, not a profound but a
pleasing presentation. Even appar-
entity to this great portrait painter
youth is baffling and the best he can
do is to record it sheer loveliness. For
once maturity scores.
Philip A. de LasZlo has an inter-
national reputation. He has painted
the great and the beautiful of many
nations: years of study and practise
have gone into his work: he is gifted
beyond many-marvelously gifted. But
even he does not always succeed. He
is a rapid worker, he is in great de-
mand. many more orders come to him
than he can accept. There are those
who are satisfied with externals. With
such skill and opportunity taking the
euise at times of temptation 1t must
be very difficult If not almost impos-
sible to escape superficiality. Some
times Mr.. de Laszlo does not. But
he Is a true and sincere artist. He
loves his work. He reverences art
and at his best, as in these portraits,
he produces works of art which place
him, one may venture the belief, not
merely among the great painters of
today, but Of all time.

that she too was feeling that blessed peace which was filling my heart.
 AS though to emphasize the pro- safe life of everyday we came upon the porch where the table with its white table cloth was set in homely fashion and lighted by four candles in heavy glass candlesticks.
 There were pats of new made but ter, and dishes of scented honey, crisp pickles, and colorfu1 jams dot ted about the table. These things I had not seen since I had left my fathers house.
 There was an odor of broiled chicken which mingling pleasantly with the scent of the syringas, told me I was hungry - I remembered had eaten nothing since my coffee in the morning.
 None of us spoke as we three were seated at the table. Jerry's face was inscrutable. I glanced at it furtively once or twice. He seemed to have shut me out of his mind entirely. It was as though I were not there. Copyright, 1926, by NEA Service.)

 Again Reddy grinned. "Oh, I can swim" replied Reddy. "I can swim just about as we'll as you can travel on land"
 It was Barker's turn to grin. Then you wouldn't be very comfort able in the water"
 It was shrewd guess on Reddy's part that Barker wasn't at home on the land. You see, he had watch ed Barker for some time and never had seen him come ashore. So he had guessed that Barker couldn't travel much on land. What I should like to know" said Reddy, "is how you breathe under water. I've watch ed you dive and not come up for a i long time. Do you breathe through your skin like Grandfather Frog?"
 "I don't know anything about Grandfather Frog" replied Barker, but l can tell you I don't breathe through my skin. I have a perfectly good pair of lungs and I breathe just as you do. When I dive l hold my breath until I come up again" :"
 q don't see how you do it." sigh ed Reddy. T wish I could hold my breath that way. You said something about eating fish. How do you catch them 2"
 Barker looked at Reddy as if he thought that silly question, as in deed he did. "The same way you get your food" said he. T surprise or run mine down in the water just as you surprise or run yours down on land"
 Where is your homer" inquired Reddy.
 "Wherever I happen 10 be-" re- piled Barker. Just now, it is here on this rock"
 And is it true that you are not part f1sh?" mentioned Reddy.
 "Fish! Fish!" snorted Barker. Who says I am part fish? Just because I am at home in the water and eat, sleep. play and work in the water is no reason for thinking me fish. I'm just as much animal as you are, and I wouldn't trade places with you for anything in the Great World. Give me the water every tme. Watch me dive through that wave that is coming in." Barker slid from the rock just as a wave was going to break over him, and Reddy saw no more of him that night.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DR. HUGH S. CUMMING Surgeon General. United States
 Public Health Service

l surgeon beueral, CnlteQ states
 Public Health Service
 Painting, which may be brought
 on by a variety of causes, does not always depend upon physical strength. Strong men faint some times, and from very slight causes.
 Exhaustion, weakness, hemor- rhage, extreme heat, lack of air, or some strong emotional shock are often responsible for fainting at | tacks.
 There Is very important psychic ! element in nearly all fainting. Fear or the sight of blood often produces l it. A feeling of weakness comes over the patient and black spots float be- fore his eyes He becomes, first pale, then greenish-yellow, and the lips lose their natural color. Cold sweat breaks out on the forehead, the pulse is rapid and weak, the respiration is very shallow.
 Falls to Ground About this time the patient sinks 1 back into his seat or falls to the ground unconscious. If a couch or bench is available, the patient should be laid with his head hanging over the edge so that the blood will rush to the brain.
 It is fairly safe rule that in all accidents where the face of the pa tient is pale, there is a lack of blood in the brain and the head should be lowered. When the face is red, the body shc q be propped up with the head as high as possible. In all cases of fainting it is i'm portant that the patient have fresh air. Cold water dashed on the face helps, as does smelling salts or a few drops of ammonia held under the nose. When consciousness returns the patient should be given tea spoonful of aromatic spirits of am- monia in plenty of water.
 It is dangerous to allow person not yet recovered from a fainting spell to attempt to walk. Another warning is that in case unconscious ness persists after first aid methods have been applied, a physician should be called at once.
