To-day it's the sugar daddies who

and diamonds, back night clubs for

who paid and paid. Not in any
dramatic sense either but in solid
coin Of the realm. There were SUI
gar mamas in those days.
Unlike the modern sons, says
the Hartford Courant, these gener-
Gus ladies' did not make practice
OF turning to the stage to secure
agreeable companions. Rather they
looked to heroes home from the
wars. AS there were plenty of wars
going on here and there, the supply
was adequate. When one of these
young men won the favor of such a
lady he was showered with con
Sratulations. 1t was a step up in
his career and he felt as smugly
virtuous about it as If he had saved
his pennies, worked night Or mar
ried the boss daughter.
This is the picture of the times of
Charles the Second Donald Barr
Chidsey gives in his new biography,

Conqueror." Marlborough himself
was the most fortunate of all the
boys in his sugar mama. She was

to make him the richest and most
powerful man of his time.
Nowadays, says Chidsey in
Marlborough" when man re-
fuses money from woman it is
considered laudible. In those days
it would have been considered poor
business The $1,000 was legiti-
mate profit, for the subaltern was
an accomplished lovemaker, and
they reasoned in those days that
he was as much entitled to reward
for his labors AS any carpenter or
merchant. And who shall say that

the Seventeenth century physicians
carried cane crowned with a
hollow knob of gold silver or
ivory, according to the owners

was filled with aromatic substances
warranted to keep off all Infectious

The original owner of the cane
in the College of Physicians library
was DR.. John Radcliffe. of York.

and had a good practice in Bow
Street After Radcliffe's death the
cane passed successfully into the
hands of four eminent London
practitioners, who carried it with
them while making their calls. The
first legatee was Richard Mead, a
Stepney doctor, who attended
Queen Anne on her death-bcd.
Then came in turn Anthony Askew,

often is an expensive pastime. He is given unusual opportunities in the collection of curios and other articles that may be picked up in various parts of the world.
 My first hobby was the collect ing of stamps 1 was g youngster in Worcester. l went into the post office one day and picked up sev- eral letters bearing postage stamps which had been thrown away. There was certain appeal 10 me about postage stamp. Its colors and designs intrigued me, but even greater than that was the thought that the stamp had traveled. The idea of adventure in travel, even though it was such an inapimate thing as stamp. gave it kind of reality.
 So, whenever I was in town the post office was always port of call. Sometimes l had luck. other times l found nothing. But l was persistent and determined. When ever ] started from home my col lection, small though it was. was always part of my baggage.

have enough lamps in the house.
 AS far back as I can remember every vessel on which l shipped had pets. Seamen have fond ness for pets that is not always found among landsmen. Perhaps pet of one kind or another takes away the Loneliness that seaman sometimes experiences. Pets on shipboard are given every consid- eration and. when a vessel gets in trouble and 't is necessary to abandon ship, the birds or animals are taken along If the men are saved, sometimes at a great risk.
 While on the Bremen run our ships often brought thousands of canaries from Germany. as we'll as other valuable birds. After l had my own quarters I always had a canary to cheer up my room and. of course, took some birds home. These little fellows are wonderful companions. The Hartz Mountain canary is particularly vivacious and chirps away the greater part of the day and will liven up any ones spirits.
 One bird that was a prize was red headed bull finch that always greeted me vociferously when I re- turned home from a voyage. The little fellow seemed to sense when l was scheduled 10 return. Most of the time he flew around the rooms ana as soon as entered would alight on my hand. Then one day I came home and when Mrs. Fried opened the door. saw tears streaming down her cheeks. The little fellow was in her hand. I watched him making one last des- perate effort to chirp. took him and rubbed his soft feathered back. He gave one shrill whistle and be- came still forever It was sad blow to both of us for we had be- come so attached to him. On the next voyage brought another canary home.
 Marine paintings naturally have a fascination for me and l have about 25 small ones in my home that l have collected In various parts of the globe. One which prize very highly is Duparc's im- precision of the laundering of the British freighter Antinoe. with the President Roosevelt standing by as the crew was being rescued. Oth- CTS in the collection, several of which are by R. Dumont Duparc, official marine painter for the | French government. depict the rigs of assorted sailing vessels and are unusually interesting because they show the changes of. rigging in | these ships down through marine history.
 l I have never considered reading a hobby inasmuch as it is more or less in my daily routine of activi- ties aboard ship and while I am in port. Historical sketches. auto- biographies and good modern fife ton are appealing to me and 1 have such volumes in home and cabin. But because of the stress

rency and before I got very far in a foreign port l had several dol- lars worth of coins and no money
 for sightseeing or entertainment. For a while l kept the coins of
 smaller denominations, but then ] decided to abandon the idea not only because they were a total financial loss, in so far as the keep
 sake was concerned, but also be-
 cause they were heavy.
 After l had established a home l did what I suppose every mar
 ried man will do brought home presents for my wife. bought a Chinese bronze lamp that seemed to please Mrs. Fried, who liked lamps so much that l decided to get others. To this I have added an English barn lantern. French
 one of wrought iron, one of Italian make in bronze and a German ma ! hogany floor lamp. Each lamp Is distinctive of the country it repre- sents and because of the diversity
 in design the group is interesting
