He saw They Had To See Paris

picture TO make a few remarks. With

The spare room, like the old-time
kitchen, is again coming into its own.
Time was when to speak of a spare
room was as out of date as to eat in
the kitchen. Every homemaker who
entertained at all had some extra
chamber or chambers for guests. This
was in the era of a previous generation
when the apartmt Mt house was in its
infancy. Today, in modern cramped
housing quarters, where apartments
are inadequate to the real needs of a
family, a spare room Is a luxury. It
can be, and is. mentioned with a
certain degree of pride. To have an
extra bed is a convenience scarcely to
be done without, yet not so customary
that it is not thought to be bit
affluent. To have room to spare
apart from the actual demands of a
family's requirements is munihcent, q
luxury in home, and to be mentioned
by its correct nane-Spare room.

Charles TX of France was not by
nature cruel. He never could forget the
massacre of st. Bartholomew and his
sorrow over it helped to break down
his health and kill him.
His terrible mother, Catherine de
Medici, secured the succession to Henry
of Anjou, his brother, and assumed
the regency.
Henry III became one of the most
disSolute of French sovereignS, and
vice and cruelty reigned in his court.
Time can make old friends enemies.
Henry had elaborated with Catherine
and the Duke of Guise in the great
massacre. But, as King, Henry felt the
influence of GuiSe raised against him.
He came to consider the duke as his
worst enemy. Indeed, Guise had reach
ed the stage where he browbeat both
the King and the Queen Mother. Henry
decided to get rid of him.

Henry III had been up since 4

Peter turned to find Whitefoot peer

this song must be like that. Oh, dear,

that it came from some bushes grow

rush over there, but feared to frighten
the singer. He wished Whitefoot would
return. Perhaps the two of them to-
