Three-Minute JOURNEYS
By TEMPLE MANNING
The Rynek at CrGcorc.

m ~ OUR travels on Tuesday we
went TO Cracow. the old capital
OF Poland, and there we saw the
ramparts and visited the public
market Ii the Rynek. or public
square. There Is in the square
than the market place, and so we
shall visit II further today.
Facing the Rynek stands n OF
Cracow's most famous monuments.
the beautiful church OF st. Mary
founded In 1923 and rebuilt in the
fourteenth century. St. Mary's Is a
remarkable example OF Gothic ar
chitecture and Is loved by artists
and architects all over the world for
its beautiful stained glass windows.
fts chapels and its carv-
ings and mural decorations. The
towers rise above the church and
from one OF these every hour the
trumpeter OF Cracow plays his
Heynal.
This trumpet call is one OF the
host fascinating links with the past
mat Cracow. or any other CITY,
could boast. In years gone by. the
erumpeter was stationed there 10
sound mn "All's well" or warn OF
an attack, and the most famous OF
MI was the trumpeter who. from his
lofty perch, continued 20 encourage
tho Cracovians during the first Tar
tar attack. Today's trumpeter Is a
lineal descendant OF that national
hero.
Likewise facing on the Rynek is
the ~Sukiennice. This is a splendid
renaissance building with a huge
arcade along the front The main
floor is given over 10 the National
Museum, while in stalls along p
arcade are sold all ann or things
pots and pans or bright ribbons

money In the stalls OF the Suklen-

was ths meeting place Of the Polish
cloth dealers. In the back or n
SnLiennice stands a gothic tower.

Owe pleads in vain, but Beauty will not heed. Alas, it is
only too oftsa that the gentle voice. of Love is but as a
- faint whisper before the ~throbbing call Of the world with all
its fame, luxury and wealth and the material joys that offer
more in the anticipation than in fulfllment. For all these are
ephemeral unless they are the tribute of true Love that finds its
happiness in unselfsh giving.
Beauty does not believe that there can be JOY and happiness
IN simple. things. That a tiny home built by Love holds more
true loneliness and radiance than does a mansion where indifer-
ence Is master. Beauty does not know that luxury can pail, that
magnificence can become monotonous, that there comes a time
when simplicity holds more allure than do all the gems that have
dazzled her with their mirage-Gke brlliance. But Love knows all
this. his voice i tender, persuasive-perhaps Beauty will hear.

trying to anticipate some of your beauty troubles.
These new collars and cuffs are most bewitch-
ing, and unless we all restrain our natural i'm
pulses I'm afraid we're going to undo some Of
the splendid beauty progress we've made.
The most important thing to realize about
collars is that the same neckline principles apply
now as those that were true when our frocks
were collarless.
The round-faced girl has definitely proven
to herself that she looks nicer when her neck
lines follow the deep oval or v lines and the
girl who has a very long or thin face knows that
rounded necklines offset the ~longness or thinness.
