THE GIRL OF FIFTEEN
BY CLYDE CALLISTER.

This age seems often to be time
OF great sansitiveness to religious
emotions. Aurore Dudevant, the
French novelist who dazzled the world
with her brilliant writings 20 or 80
years ago, wanted to be nun when
she was girl OF this age.
Fifteen Is frequently the age or re-
ligious conversions among persons
who are brought up with the feeling
that they must at some time go
through this religious experience.
Catherine Mumford. who was to marry
William Booth and become the
mother of the Salvation Army" was
converted at this age, which was also
the age of the conversion Of William
Booth, one of the greatest religious
leaders of the last century.
Poor little Lady Jane Grey--who
was acknowledged as Queen of Eng
land for just 10 days-was at the age
Of 10 as very accomplished linguist.
She was thoroughly familiar with
Greek and Latin. and could speak and
write Italian, French, German. as well
as English, was studying Hebrew and
knew something of Chaldee and
Arabic. But all this superior educa-
ton was of no help to her. Upon the
death Of her cousin. King Edward vi,
when she was II years old, she was

and 10 days later her cousin Mary be-

her unwilling part ir the conspiracy

Marie Antoinette, last of the old
Queens of France was girl of Is
when she was married to the French
Dauphin, who later became Louis
XVI. Libelous SANDER was circulated
against her-all of which was doubt
less based upon her own girlish and
joyous disposition. She was indiffer-

clothes as any other girl of her age
might be. Twenty-three years later,

Scrub them at bedtime with soap and

COTTON DECLINES
40 TO As POINTS
Renewed Liquidation and
Southern Selling Are Off,
set to Early Strength.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. September 19-An
opening advance in the cotton mar
ket today was followed by declines
under renew ed liquidation and South
ern selling.
Prices later made new low ground
for the movement, showing net losses
of about 40 to As points, and were
within or 10 points of the lowest in
midafternoon.
The market opened firm today at an
advance Of to Is points on buying
promoted by relatively firm Liverpool
cables and reports of unfavorable
weather in the South.
December sold up to PIGS and
March to 21.95 in early trading, net
advances of "a to % points, but con-
siderable hedging supplied the early
demand and prices eased off several
points from the best before the end
of the first hour.
Private cables attributed the relative
steadiness of the market there to local
London and continental buying, and
said hedge selling had been light, but
cloth and yarn buyers were cautious,
with only a small business for the
home and export trade.
The volume of business tapered off
later, with the market comparatively
quiet and fairly steady. The reaction
from the opening advance carried
prices off to about 21..75 for March, or
within points of Saturdays closing
quotation, but part Of the loss was re-
covered, with the midday market rul-
ing about II to 20 points net higher.
