LIGHTS OF NEW YORK

This may be old, but it was told to
me as an unpublished story, There
18 a man in New York who liked to
have people around him, so he used
to keep open house on Sunday after-
noons. It got so that a good many
persons came regularly to eat, drink,

smoke and talk. The man, while not
rich, was pretty well off and, at vari-
ous times, helped some of his visitors
financially over tough spots in the
road. He felt that they were his
friends. Many of them didn’t need any
help. Sunday afternoons were gay
affairs,
. LI
Then came the crash and the man
was wiped out. The next Sunday he
made a little speech, He said he was
embarrassed, but the truth was that
he had been caught out on a limb in
the falling stock market and was flat
broke. He hoped to get back on his
feet, but he was broke now,
“But I still have this apartment,”
he said, “and I hate to see these
pleasant Sunday afternoons discontin-
ued. We still could meet here, but—
and it isn’t easy to say—I haven't
money enough just now even to pro-
vide things to eat, drink and smoke.
I thought, if you each would put in
two or three dollars, we could buy
some ‘stuff and still continue these
pleasant times.” :
The guests assented with enthusi-
asm; but the next Sunday none of
them arrived. They haven't been
back since.

David, all things considered, was a
pretty human and a pretty successful
man. It is not an
easy job being king,
I imagine, but Da-
vid stands out with
all of his human
weaknesses as the
ideal ruler and the
ideal man. Per-
haps there is a rea-
son why. He says
in one of his
psalms: “One thing
y have I desired ...
that will I seek
after.” He had a
high purpose and a
determination to accomplish it. Most
of us want too many things and so
often miss getting or doing much of
anything worth while,
Story, whom I have known for some
years, has a good mind, I think, and
husky, healthy body. He has, in addi-
tion, a college degree which should
have given him some balance and
some training. He has drifted from
one thing to another, however, for the
last ten years and always with en-
thusiasm. When he joined church I
thought he would be a power for good
among our young people, but he has
scarcely seen inside of the church
since. He is too busy. He was going
to be a teacher when he entered col-
lege—economics or accountancy or
something like that. Then it was
business, law, the consular service, a
half dozen other things, and’ up to
date it has really been nothing per-
manent, for he no sooner is possessed
of one desire than he is seized with
another. He has the desires, but he
does not seek after them very long
and so realizes nothing.
I have watched my young nephews
just getting ready for high school with
a great deal of interest. They are
strong, healthy, active young savages
full of desires of all sorts. Eating
and play and adventure and new ex-
periences all take their attention and
fill up their time. But since they
were ten they have been hero wor-
shipers. They have had one idol and
one great desire. Their idol is an
athlete, and their one great desire is
one day to gain athletic glory, to be
in the game, to carry the ball, to clear
the bar, to make the long plunge in
the water, and then to see their pic-
tures in the metropolitan paper the
following morning and to read all
about it. They train constantly, they
practice winter and summer in doors
and out. They run and jump and
hurdle wherever and whenever they
may be. They have scales in their
sleeping room to weigh themselves at
regular intervals to see how their
physical development is coming on.
They go to bed early in order that

The pair on the stage sprang apart
at the proper cue; but no mother ap-

still no mother. The situation grew
strained. Finally, the girl impro-
vised,
“I thought I heard mother,” she
said. “I'd better go see where she
is,” and she walked off stage.
The man, left alone, opened books,
lit cigarettes and stalled for some
moments, but there was no sign of
mother or daughter, so he said:
“I must see what has become of
them,” and he walked off, leaving the
stage empty,

There is a handsome doorman in
front of a Fifth avenue apartment
who looks like a German drill ser-
geant. He spends all day marching
up and down, calling taxis and open-
ing automobile doors. The other
night an inhabitant of the apartment
house discovered what the doorman
did with his evenings. He saw him
standing stiffly in front of an armory;
probably waiting for some one to
come out and put a uniform on him,

To Restore Queen’s Toy Village
Paris.—Plans made to be sent to
Austria by Marie Antoinette to prove
that she was falsely accused of ex-
travagance in building her hamlet of
doll houses at Versailles have been
found and are to be used in restoring
the hamlet to its original condition.
A favorite resort of tourists and
students of history has been this fra-
gile, imitation village of peasant
houses in which the queen, bored by
the formality of courts, used to play
at life on the farm. But in recent
years its houses, built only to serve as
playthings, have been falling into
ruin. And had it not been for the
Rockefeller repair fund the ruin
would probably have become com-
plete.
Most of the interiors are bleak ex-
panses of bared lath, corners black
with cobwebs and floors rotting. The
thatched roof of Marie Antoinette’s
own little cottage in the village has
fallen in, and the hole is now covered
with tarpaulin. Six months ago a tall
poplar fell on the little imitation mill,
crushing an angle of the roof and
causing a whole wall to lean.
they may get a proper amount of
sleep. They drink no coffee; they use
no tobacco; they eschew whatever is
said to be detrimental to the growing
athlete. They read books on how to
play the various games in which they
are interested and like David they
can say “One thing have I desired;
that will I seek after.”
One of these days you are going to
read in the newspapers that Bob is
captain of his college football team
and that John has broken the record
in the pole vault, for what we most
desire and constantly seek after we
are likely to win.

In the library of the D of Fer-
rara in Mondene, Italy, 1 price-
less “album” of original ings of
the hamlet made by Micket, the archi-
tect who built it. They were colored
drawings. The queen had had the
little book made to s ck to her
home in Austria to prove to her fam-
ily that the hamlet was after all a
simple little affair and not the king-
dom-bankrupting folly which rumor
had made it.
The book never got to Vienna. Marie
Antoinette had to answer to the
French revolution on the charge of
reckless extravagance, and the click
of the guillotine ended the argument
about it.
Patrice Bonnet, chief architect of
the Chateau of Versailles, has been to
Italy to copy Mickel’s colored drav-
ings. It is from these that the ha:
let is to be reconstructed.
One of the discoveries made in the
album is that the hamlet when new
was a faked antique. It was built
not to look like a new hamlet, but
like one weathered and softened by
time.
3uilt in the reign of Louis XVI, it
looked as antique as if it had been
there since the time of his great-great-
grandfather.
The renewed hamlet will be exact-
ly as Marie Antoinette saw it first,
with a toy wooden mill wheel in the
toy mill stream, and with some of
the accretions of later years removed.
Only it will be stronger, for hidden
in the toy houses will be frames of
reinforced concrete that will prevent
any such general collapse as makes
the hamlet a dilapidated ruin today.
FOR THE AFTERNOON
This creation of midas gold crepe,
trimmed with black crepe and ma-
chine embroidery, makes a smart mod-
el for afternoon wear. The blouse
features bell-shaped sleeves, and the
flare in the skirt starts above the
knee in inset panels. A black felt
turban, rose beige chiffon hose and
black leather pumps are worn. It is
a gown formal enough for afternoon
tea and not too fussy for business
engagements.
Disasters
for ’31 Are
Predicted
Paris.—Mme, Delmas-Fraya, famous
soothsayer and confidante of sev-
eral great political figures, predicts
that 1931 will see the end of Fascism
in Italy and a violent revolution in
Germany, accompanied by economic
and material catastrophes in every
part of the globe,
“I see,” she says, “the violent death
of Italy's greatest statesman followed
by a complete transformation of the
political regime. Germany will be
tormented by revolutions causing eco-
nomic and financial ruin,
“Argentina and Brazil have not yet
completed their political revolutions
and -there will be several violent
changes, * without great bloodshed,
during 1931. Spain also wil] be tossed
upon the stormy sea of political con-
vulsions.”
Madame Fraya prophesies that war
is fast approaching in Europe but that
1931 will be passed under the constant
panic of war without actual fighting,
During this time France will continue
to consolidate its position through
the efforts of a “young man” whose

Eternal War on Plant
Insects and Diseases
On the old apple tree that used to
stand by our garden gate, where we
learned the mysteries of mumble-ty-
peg and where, on moonlight sum-
mer nights, as we devoutly believed,
fairies came to dance, there was
never a devilish insect or ruinous
wilt. The hees would swarm in April
to gather future honey and in autumn
golden butterflies would hold farewell
sinister Year after year fruitage
followed blossom without a misad-
venture. Little boys needed eastor
oil, especially when apples were
green, hut the tree was sufficient
unto itself in all matters: of physie,
Sprays were unheard of. So, too, with
the peach orchard and with the figs,
except for an occasional plague of
June bugs, many of which met with
condign punishment at the end of a
piece of string. Horticulture was
then a pastime. Now it is a battle.
Hostile insects and plant disease
entail upon our country an annual
loss of $3.000,000,000. Thus report
the captains of the federal Depart-
ment of Agriculture, and we take
their word without question. “The
unfortunate thing is,” they ominous-
ly add, “that the end is not yet.
Each year adds new pests and new
diseases at an alarming rate. Only
by adoption of the most efficient
methods of control and eradication
can we’ hope eventually to triumph
over these apparently insignificant
enemies,”
Moths, beetles, borers and what-not
are swooping upon us as menacingly
as Goths and Vandais upon ancient
Rome. This is no rhetorical flourish,
reader. Consider the Mediterranean
fruit fly. What other incursion of
undesirable aliens ever wrought such
havoe as did that pestiferous immi-
grant in Florda and in southern parts
of Georgia? Consider the boll weevil.
Its march was more destructive than
Sherman's. Potato bugs we have had
always with us, but now comes the
bean beetle, cutting a cleaner swath
than did Attila the Hun.
Devilish insects, we say, because
they strike at our creative and pro-
motive industries, and if they took a
motto it well might be Mephisto's, “I
am the spirit that denies.” Men have
been fighting one another for thou-
sands of years. Henceforth they must
make common war on the challeng-
ing insect, or they will have no use
for either their swords or their plow-
shares.—Atlanta Journal,
Frenchman Planning to
Found Tropical Utopia
A proposal to form a new colony in
the South seas as a sort of tropical
utopia is advocated by Alain Ger-
bault, famed for his world trips in
his 36-foot boat, Firecrest. M. Ger-
bault “says he will soon found his
ideal community, sailing to an un-
inhabited island in a 34-foot boat he
is having constructed at Havre,
France. He will select the pick of |
the natives in the South seas to start
his colony, with the intention of |
building a super race. “We shall live |
a harmonizing life,” he said, “and |
will try to raise a new standard of |
art and culture in that faraway land. |
I have not as yet decided how the |
island shall be governed, but it will |
be along ideas of my own.” On a re- |
cent world trip Gerbault stopped af |
one of the Samoan islands, he said,
and was invited by 5,000 natives to
remain there as king. He declined,
because he preferred to set up his
own kingdom,
Make Scientific Study
of Scourge of Leprosy
The ancient scourge of leprosy is
being intensively studied in Hawaii
with a view to steady reduction in
the numher of cases and eventually
to eradication. Gov. Lawrence M,
Judd has appointed a committee
which includes men who have given
many years of attention to leprosy
cases. Their report, just concluded
but not made public, deals not only
with medical treatment, but with
measures for segregation of lepers
and closer control of the disease.
Hawaii for many years has treated
leprosy without special fear, knowing
that care in handling it sufficiently
protects doctors and nurses from con-
tamination. Measures suggested to
the governor by the commission will
be embodied in legislation by the ter-
ritory of Hawaii next spring.
