The blossom caught | the interest of an oldish man and his |sently fading wife, who smiled at | each ‘other in recognition of what it i stood for. “That chap muster been raised in the country, too. Funny how a thing like that bit of yellow will hring back old times.

Do you s'pose they know enough to rub in lard and sulphur salve? Poor little things— i1 reckon T do remember that swamp —that time 1 tore my frock gettin’ |over the ralls.” | The torn trock must have recalled a memory of youthful sparkling, for iihe oldish man chuckled, and the ! aimost-faded woman's voice rippled into an almost girlish giggle—not a gixgle, either, but an undertone that harked back to you. You know. | And a passenger seated just behind who couldn’t help hearing, though she doesn’t pride herself on her ears, wondered whether the meadow on the other side of Carter's swamp was as green and beautiful as a cool Spring she knew about, all fringed around with goldenrod; with big trees over- ! shadowing it and an old gray rock, with a gourd on it. Orchids are superfine all right, but if you have a memory sunshiny with goldenrod it will seem more beautiful than even that supremest of all orchids, whose scarlet blazes in tropic jungles and because of its vampieh-like allure is called the “'Sev- enth Deadly Sin"—which makes one grateful to memory—though, too often, it comes to us cloaked in a mist of gray. A * ok x % LETTER from out of the friendly unknown includes this paragraph: “If you went to Versailles, will you tell about it? The opinion I brought away with me was that Louis XIV was about the worst King France ever had, because, for &0 many years, he starved the people to humor his own | extravagant whims—and I would like | to know if you agree with me.” This question is being answered here for the reason that you may be a bit Y | Interested in recalling n royalty that had a hand in providing you with some of your art gods—say the Venus | de Milo—marble, plaster, chalk or | ““composition'’—and, perhaps, Mona Lisa, and coples of other paintings that have achieved the immortality of the Louvre. Also, an apology uaked for uncaging the pronoun Yes, 1 went to the Palace of Ver- sailles. , 1 did not mean to write about it. Furope is such a tourist- beaten path that it would take more couruge than 1 possess to inflict on the column other than small experi- ences that, in some measure, relate to us home folks, but—since you ask me: 1f it be true that the French Revo- lution was already showing its teeth when the Grand Monarch came to the throne, and that he relgned for sev- enty-odd vears, and then died in | his bed instead of on the gulllotine, u will have to credit him with vir- | tues as weil as fallings. To govern !a people whose majority could only dig, or build or weave for a lving, and then threaten when starvation came to the door, you can understand why old-time royalty erected palaces and the church buflt cathedrals—it meant bread. And bread meant con- tent. Walking in from out of the every- day world, it was enough to make any one gasp at the gorgeous fabrics that covered walls and floors, beds and windows—damasks stiff with richness; laces -as ethereal as snowflakes em- broidered on mist; frescoed ceilings with backgrounds of gold leaf; tapes- tries, statuary, gilt furniture, filagree silver, chandeliers that were crystal Ny showers; paintings, marble stairways —gardens, fountains—about every splendor the Imagination of that era could concelve. And yet, you can't help thinking that while the whole magnificent output ineant personal splondor for Louis XIV, it likewlse meant work for looms and builders and manufacturers, and that it gave fame and money to art. Louis XIV was not & good man, as we are good in these hallowed days, but he was industrious, and he kept the French people from starving in @& day before trades and unions and skilled labor put the workman on the high ground of unified strength. e made his mistakes and paid for them, but, good or bad, history u cords him he title of Grand Monarch, That he deserved it means quite & whole heap. And, anyhow, no matter how he impoverished France, which he doubtless did, in one way, he even saflles such a wond: country gets francs from every v who beholds its long-deserted gloi And yougnay recall the hard knocks that both the Grand Monarch and his father, Louis XIII, got for the money they wasted on the palace that was to become the Louvre? That was a long time ago, but if you consider the lines of peopie every day, and all day long, walting until the crowd ahead glves them « chance to get In—at so many francs per hcad—and then try to reckon up how much money France | makes on both the Palace of Versailles and the Louvre vou can sum up & ¢ big total in favor of the King extravagance impoverished Some historic Archimedes has fig- ured out that the cost of the palace, in furnishings and upkeep, amounted to $8,600,000,000—but, at that, none of us would have wanted to live there, seeing that in Winter the wine and water froze in glasses at the table and paper had to be pasted over win- dows to keep the wind from whistling through. Yes, it was a wonder-place to glimpse—most places ave wonderful, in one way or another—and since its creator lies under the dust of cen- turfes it is just as well to feel, as Fenelon sald, through the allegory of his Telemachus: “By wishing to appear great have ruined your true greatness. And let us all be thankful for turnaces. you * ok ox x g HE column has received the fol- lowing letter: ““To the Editor of The Washington Evening Star: (Please publish this)— In ‘Around the City,’ The Sunday Star, October 4, 1925, the article closes with ‘Why wouldn’t that key of the Bastille look better in France, where it would | be appreciated, rather than at Mount Vernon. where nobody cares a hang?’ ““That key, which hangs upon the wall at Mount Vernon, is one of the treasures of America and one of the greatest tributes to Washington and his country. That the spirit of Amer- ica overthrew the Bastille is a compli- ment to move any nation. “Upon what ground it should be thought that the key would better be in France and that Americans do not care ‘a hang’ is beyond me. “The key could not hang in a more appropriate place, and it Is assumed that many thousands of people see lt and appreclate it. READ! FUR GARTERS LATEST FAD OF LONDON WOMEN By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 10.—The latest London fad in fur fashions is the “fur garter,” designed by fur experts and made up In & varietv of designs, but the prices demanded for the new “creations” seem likely to preclude a widespread popular demand. One pair of sea otter garters, made for a “fur ball” which has been planned to take place at Covent Garden, in aid of Middlesex Hospital, is priced at £15 (about $75), while other designs, in beaver fur and in real ermine, trim- med with small black tails, are ex- pected to bring similarly high prices. The increasing demand for rabbit fur trimming has induced several o- clety women to breed rabbits for the fur trade. -Lady Rachel Byng, Lady Helena Forbes, Lady Victoria Percy and Lady Layland Barratt are the latest to take up rabbit growing, which is sald to be a profitable enterprise. Princess Mary and the Duchess of Y]:rk both wear fur coats of rabbit skins. NEED OF WORKERS URGED Protestant Laymen Asked to Ald Churches Actively. Laymen and women of Protestant churches throughout the country will be urged to participate actively in church work during the comipg vear the Federal Council of Churches has announced, in making public a state- ment it issued jointly with leaders of evangellsm in various communions. The statement, issued through the council’s commission on evangellsm, chich has designated October 11 ‘church rally Sunday,” said church members were to be trained for evangelistic service, and that sermons on evangelism Sunday would inform them of its real meaning to quicken their spiritual life.
