Another From "Tennessee"
Dear Cynthia
Tho modern man Is prono to pan
Tho girl In every season:
He'll pull a scowl and raise a howl
Without the (.lightest reason.
He knocks her clothes, her shoes and
hose,
Tho way she tilts her salloi :
And how she walks and eats and talks,
And raps her lack of valor.
Ho cannot find In womankind
A thing for commendation :
No noble deed or well-cooked feed
Will rouse his admlratlcyi.
He never halts In finding faults.
Ho needs must go on knocking:
On Christmas Evo St. Nick will heavo
A lemon In his stocking.
Yet this same bloke Is quite a Joke
To thosii of feminine gender:
His Bhowy gear makes him appear
Llko much-used legal tender.
His head's half hid under his lid, '
His sult'H too tight for action ;
His vivid tie offends tho eye.
And 'drives one to distraction.
He has a "cap" stuck in IiIb map.
His bearing tells you "I'm It" ;
It would behoove this Gent to move
To a more healthy climate,
"Tho mora! of tho lines above,"
We hear the muses moaning,
"Is that the souso In tho glass house
"Should quit his constant stoning."

And' still tho bore who loves to score
Tho damsels by tho hour.

Human Curios
"Old Parr"
The average span of human life, fixed
bv tho niblo at "three scoro years hnd
ton," has been surpassed by a number
or persons wno were remanuioie ior
their longevity, but probablv by none
more slgnnlly than Thomas Parr, better

Kncllsli klncs nnd queens and died at
the ago of 155-vears and nine months.
Fortunately, the facts 'in the caso of
Parr are so well established as to be
Incontestable. He wns tho i-on of John
Parr, a farmer of Wlnnlngton. In the
parish of Aldcrbury. Ho lived at
homo until tho ngo of seventeen, when
he went out to service, and it has been
declared by a t-vmber of medical experts
who have examined the recoids that his
extraordinary longevltv was almost cer
tainly due to iho plain fare an 1 largo
nmount of outdoor exercise to which he
was accustomed in his earlier days.
Parr was not married until he was
elghtv years of age, and he had a son
and dauchvr. both of whom died In In
fnncy. HIh wife. Jane, died when he
wns 112, and ten years later, at tho age
of 122, Parr married again.
Even boforo this time tho fatna of the
old man had tpread throughout England,
but he liad steadfastly refused to leavo
his homo !n tho country, saying that he
feared the change of diet and environ
ment whlci would accompany a Journey
to London. Finally, however, the Earl
of Arundel pre ailed on him to come to
tho city In order that he might be pre
sented at court. As ho had predicted,
tho Journny "shortened his life" and he
died soon afterward. According to one
of tho commentators of tho time. Parr's
"brain was sound and, though his eyes
nnd memory wero Impaired, his hearing
nnd apprehension were very keen and ho
wa3 able, over In his t30th year, to do
any kind of work, even to the threshing
of corn."

TF QUEEN LOUISE could have stepped

Tomorrow night her Prince Charming
would enter thei chamber of her heart
and she must bo regally decked to met

somehow she was very sure that Joyce
Heating's cousin, who had studied In
foreign lands for years, and whose
name every one breathed with some
thing very like awe, would bo In trutn
her ideal. And-r-she caught her breath.
whllo tho crimson dyed her soft cheek

She was very auro he would ask. When
he did. she would be descending a broad
stnlrcase, as gracefully draped and
carefully posed as anv queen or any nite,
"Louise, dear, please come hero and

Tho girl waB startled from her day

dnshed Into the spacious living room.
"Mother I" she exclaimed aghast.

Mrs. Bragdon wanted to lau"h at tho

how very recentlv I did all tho work.
Delia has a toothache and of course
Maggie Is needed at homo "
"It Isn't our concern' that Maggie's
little brother was Injured." retorted the
ghl with a petulant stamp.
Mrs. Bragdpn had held her rare com

the tide of their onrushlng wealth, nnd
an overpowering deslro to literally siuute
tho nonsense out of the daughter wal
lowing In tho foam of the golden break

A thud, n quick cry of anguish swept
the pout from the girl's full lips and
kindled her eyes with sympathetic con
cern. Capably she helped her mother to
a couch, anguishing In tender solicitude
Gono was her supercilious foolishness
and onlv warm, throbbing, girlish sym

Mrs. Bragdon smiled through hei

In our lovely body. Fetch me the rem

Mrs. Bragdon stopped short In her

forgot that, because her aunt hnd given

other members of tho family, were now

would not look ; she might be recognized.

sho was disappointed. She'd expected to
meet a prince full of foreign allure ancT
courtly grace, before whom she'd preen
her queenly chnrms ; but Hamer Keat

outraged vanity was mollified by his
eagerness to call the very next evening.
He did call, and asked to see Aunt
Prudence In her Renaissance boudoir of

to paint her sitting In that room. He also
asked Louise to pose In tho picture wear

YOUTH, jouth, youth Hint Is
everywhere the keynote of. the styles
of today.
There was a time when the .voting!
matronthe married woman of twenty
five or thereabouts dressed in n dif
ferent style from the girl of eighteen.
She wns privileged to wear rather more
elaborate frocks. In the dn of trains
she wore logger trains, her hats might
bn trimmed moro elaborately and the
still older matron felt Hint she wns
entitled to still greater elaboration of
clothes heavier trimming, costlle'r Ince,
moro brllllnnt jet. Hut those dnys are
gone. It is the young girl who sets
the fashion in clothes now for her
mother nnd her grandmother. Your
clothes are too youthful only if in their
slmnlioity they actually attract atten
tion to your lack of youth. A woman
of fifty may wear a simple organri
frock and a flowered lint quite llko
tho one worn by a girl of eighteen if
sho is still fresh eunuch of ((ininlovlnn
nnd llllio enough of figure not to appear
less youthful by wearing them.
And alwnjH tho thing to bo desired In
tho rut and construction of n frock or
suit is Hlcnderiicss of lino, sveltoness,
Ilthcsomencs call It what you will,
for th's Is tho characteristic of outh.
Perhaps that Is why tho effort to bring
about a -ogue for the exaggerated Ve
lasqucz hip line came to nutight. For
when you distend your hips with stiff
crinoline and wiring von renllv ml mm-

How Soviet Russia Is
Compelling Recognition
In all the fighting that has been going on in Eastern Europe and in the negotia
tions involving Moscow and Warsaw and Paris and London there is but one certainty,
observes the New York Globe, that is, that the situation is approaching what we may
call a "show down." "Shaking hands with murder" is Lord Northcliffe's phrase, but
as the New York Sun is forced to agree the murderer is now in a position to say whether
we shall shake hands with him or whether war-weary Western Europe must take arms
against him. Strange as it may seem, says the Sun, "the international vagabond of 1919
has gained the amazing position of being in control of European stability, and perhaps
of World stability, in the year 1920."
The Russian situation is the biggest problem that America and the rest of the
