virtues they possess— On their veracity they stress. But some men flaunt the truth at us. They would before us pose so pure That they, themselves, loudly proclaim They would not swerve for any lure From what they deem to be the truth! Facts to the contrary—Though. This type of man we often eye Askance, and feel we’d be convinced Of his sincerity if he Much less verbosity evinced. The truthfulness of whom one says Depends not always on self-praise. James G. Conner. MODERN CHINA The young bloods of Peking are having their first taste of chop suey— the “Chinese” dish invented in America— and they pronounce it goed. The new restaurant which serves chop suey in Peking is in Morrison Street, about two blocks from the Legation Quarter and less than half a mile from the Forbidden City. There at the tea hour, and at night, may be found a motley assortment of “Young China.” That is, students and youths returned from abroad with their feminine friends. Young Chinese blades of Peking, Charleston there, with Oxford bags flapping round ankles and knees. Pretty Chinese girls with bound feet, bobbed hair and short skirts, at their partners. SCHOOLS.

The visit of Prince George of England to France will be extended to two or three months, so that he may improve his French. The Prince will spend most of his time in the country homes of French friends. After three or four days in Paris, he will go to the estate of Prince de Caraman-Chimay, near Rheims (Marne). Before he returns to England he will visit several battlefields. Mr. Frank B.

William Howell, of Sabah, Sarawak, has been working among the Dyaks for forty-eight years. He is in his seventy-first year. The Bishop of Labuan and Sarawak writes of him:—“I am afraid to state the number of miles that he has tramped through the jungle in his time. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel and the Rajah have granted him a pension, but with characteristic fortitude Mr. Howell refuses to take his pension until he has completed fifty years in the jungle. He is, of course, not able to do the same amount of walking that he used to do, but when he had turned seventy he tramped sixteen miles to place the cornerstone of the new church at Betong.” Vice-Consul John A. Squiers, who has been in Paris at the American Consulate-General since October 1923, has been transferred to the Consulate in Prague. Mr. Squiers is now taking a holiday with Mrs. Squiers and their daughter at Nice. He will leave immediately for his new post.

A former sea captain has made history for the British Mercantile Marine by becoming a Government Whip. He is Mr. F. G. Penny, member for Kingston on Thames, which he has represented since 1922. His appointment as an assistant whip was announced yesterday. The increasing and romantic career of this six-foot M.P. began in a windjammer, and he went to sea for years, taking his master’s certificate. In 1899 he entered commercial life in the East, and became secretary of a number of companies. Stockbroking was his next interest. When the war broke out he served in Singapore and Penang, and in the latter place later joined the Eastern Smelting Company. At the last election his majority over a Socialist was 14,000. A new musical experiment is to be tried at the Queen's Hall in London, on Saturday by Dame Ethel Smyth, the noted English composer. This consists of a concerto for horn, violin, and orchestra—a combination which has never before been used. Sir Henry Wood will conduct. Dame Ethel is about to publish a book on the tour which she made in Greece with her lame mother. It has a curious title, “A Three-Legged Tour in Greece,” which presumably refers to her mother’s infirmity. The man who invented “Charity stamps” has died suddenly at the age of sixty-two. He was

THE WOMAN OF THE LAY Miss DAISY KENNEDY Mrs. John Drinkwater, wife of the English playwright, better known as a brilliant violinist -under her maiden name, Daisy Kennedy, has appeared in a new part. She is proving to be a writer of no mean ability. She has been challenging the assertion that professional musicians are seldom happy in marriage and in home life. Such an assertion, she says, is one of those half-truths which gradually come to be accepted as whole truths owing to the somewhat excessive light which is focused on the private lives of many artistes before the public. She says that exhibitions of temperament are often only a good excuse for temper; that sometimes it is superabundant vitality unable to find sufficient outlet in art, and that the overflow is for

She is proving to be a writer of no mean ability. She has been challenging the assertion that professional musicians are seldom happy in marriage and in home life. Such an assertion, she says, is one of those half-truths which gradually come to be accepted as whole truths owing to the somewhat excessive light which is focused on the private lives of many artistes before the public. She says that exhibitions of temperament are often only a good excuse for temper; that sometimes it is superabundant vitality unable to find sufficient outlet in art, and that the overflow is for the most part redirected and wasted for want of other equally absorbing interests. Miss Kennedy confides that she would love to be entirely a musician, entirely a mother, and entirely a wife— which she admits is impossible. Miss Daisy Kennedy is best known to the public as a violinist. Born at Burra, South Australia, thirty-three years ago, she says that she could strum tunes by ear on the piano when she was a tiny child. Her father, Headmaster of Norwood School, Adelaide, decided to have her trained as a piano virtuoso. When she was seven, however, he thought her a violin for twenty-five shillings. Although she had never touched a violin before, she immediately played “God Save the King.” Her father changed his mind and she was trained as a violinist. She studied at the Adelaide Conservatory until she was fifteen, giving several recitals of her own. Then, in 1908, Kubelik visited Adelaide; on the strength of his words of appreciation, she left home to study in Europe. With little money left, Miss Kennedy reached Prague, where she sought out Professor Sevcik; she took this master of the violin by storm. She told him that he must take her into

Then, in 1908, Kubelik visited Adelaide; on the strength of his words of appreciation, she left home to study in Europe. With little money left, Miss Kennedy reached Prague, where she sought out Professor Sevcik; she took this master of the violin by storm. She told him that he must take her into his school as a pupil. After hearing her play, he accepted her small offer, and she began a further three years of training. She had to practice exercises for six hours a day, which she found "real drudgery." Later she entered the “Master-school” in Vienna under the same professor, where she held a scholarship during her second year. After making her début in Vienna in 1911, she accompanied Professor Sevcik to London. Where she played in the principal concerts at the Queen’s Hall and the Albert Hall, followed by a tour in the provinces. Later she toured the United Kingdom and the capitals of Europe with her first husband, M. Moiseiwich, who later obtained a divorce from her. In 1919, Miss Kennedy toured in Australia and New Zealand, where she had a great reception; in the following year she made a successful début in New York at the Æolian Hall. Since then, Miss Kennedy has given countless recitals in London. Miss Kennedy has exceptionally well-developed muscles of the arm and elbow. Thereby hangs a tale.

In her girlhood days, one of her domestic duties was the daily cleaning of her father’s boots, which were the out-size “elevens.” Patent polishes had not then been invented, and she did her daily task with the old-fashioned Day and Martin and a liberal application of elbow-grease. Such is her explanation of her exceptional muscles. In 1924, Miss Kennedy was married to Mr. John Drinkwater. She claims as her recreations: “Fond of looking for interesting old and new pieces of violin music to improve repertoire, reading, living in the country, and studying. STREET CANE DUEL WON BY HUSBAND NEW YORK, Wednesday.—Two men thrust and parried with their canes in a Street duel, yesterday in this city. As a result, the Victor, Colonel Edward Carrington, aged fifty-five, campaign manager for the late Theodore Roosevelt, is under arrest and his brother, Campbell Carrington, fifty-three, is receiving treatment in hospital for wounds to the face. Colonel Carrington said that he went with detectives to the home of his wife, whom he is suing for divorce. The fight began when Campbell emerged and in an insulting tone inquired: “Are you looking for me?” Mrs. Carrington filed counter-charges of drunkenness, cruelty, and failure to support her against the Colonel. The Carringtons are members of a prominent Southern family. PARIS TO SEE DAVENPORT GIRLS Iowans Anticipate International Fame Through Fair Drill

DAVENPORT, Iowa.—The girls drill team of the Davenport American Legion Auxiliary will attend the Legion Convention in Paris in September. The team has won first honor in competitions in San Francisco, St. Paul, Omaha, and Philadelphia. Davenport citizens have been asked to contribute $4,000 towards sending the girls abroad. They subscribed $5,000. Many merchants see the possibility of international advertising for Davenport in the trip of the girls. The girls are now enrolled in a night school, learning to speak French.

In the difficulties which Molière so lavishly invented for this part, many a seasoned actor of the Comédie-Française has failed to produce great effect; but Boucot displayed an astonishing virtuosity.

In the difficulties which Molière so lavishly invented for this part, many a seasoned actor of the Comédie-Française has failed to produce great effect; but Boucot displayed an astonishing virtuosity. His performance of the scene of the bastinado was dazzling, and he drew enthusiastic applause also for his scenes with Argante and Géronte when they are victimized by Scapin’s intrigues. Boucot is not the first music-hall star to find his way to the stage of the Odéon. Vilbert and Dranem have preceded him, but neither pleased a large audience with more unqualified success than Boucot. The Théâtre Michel has produced a typical comédie-vaudeville of the boulevards, with Mme. Régina Camier and M. Harry Baur in the leading parts. The piece is called "Le Croupier de la Troisième Table" and it does not bore the audience. It recounts the adventures of a fortunate croupier in a baccarat room who "brings good luck" to two heavy players who consequently engage in a contest for him. Comte de Saint-Fournier obtains the croupier at last and adopts him as his son, only to discover that Comtesse de Saint-Fournier (Mme. Camier) was the croupier’s former wife. In a plot where originality and verisimilitude are in so little demand, the authors (Jean Guitton and André Barde) never the less succeed in creating two or three good situations and some amusing lines. Mme. Régina Camier displays what one would take to be the greater part of her war wardrobe, not to speak of her own comely figure, during the action of the piece. M. Harry Baur, is, as ever, a comedian of the first rank. Grant, Lincoln,
