FREDERICK’S ESTATES. , row In. connection with the . various - deals, B2ich. kave: been put through since the Heninz: of, the armistice: andeshe - "| changes incident to the ousting of cer- taln_roya] families in Europe, much in- terest la- aroused by the announcement that the estates of Archduke Frederick of Austria have been purchased by an American syndlcate, and from such in- formation as is given about the deal it would indicate not only a big acqui- sition of territory and valuable rights but quite a considerable bit of legal trouble. ‘The estates, as it ig understood, do not involve the crown land. Rather 1s it property that was handed down to him from other than the Hapsburgs, or built up and acquired so that if the American buyers ara correct in regard to the title they have not bought prop- erty that can be confiscated as having been that of the Hapsburgs. ‘That the deal is a big one is evident, but in keeping with that and the:ex- tent of the property it is evident that the syndicate hasn’t disgregarded the probable legal tangles since it has been announced that it plans aection against several governments which already in- terfere with the acquired rights. Even at this stage, however, it presents an interesting result of the war. THE WOODEN SHIPS. ‘When the suggestion is made that there ought to be an investigation of the wisdom of the proposed course of the shipping board in dispaging of the wooden ships for $2.100 aplece it can be appreciated that there is a desire to avold If possible the large loss that is involved in such a sale and to return to the government as large a sum as possible out of the money that has been squandered in building those ships. That is a policy that many have felt shou'd be employed in connection Wwith all war material, but while it is com- mendable to Want to save, sight cannot be overlooked of the large loss that is incvitable because they were construct- ed at top notch prices, of the fact that they were built of material that has se- riously affected their value, of the fact fact that they are deteriorating each day and of the fact that thers has been difficulty in obtalning such a price and some experts in steamship property have declared that they would not take them as a gift. Steams) Whether constructed of) wood or steel are mot worth what they were when the demand was for ships, ships and more ships, while the e pense of maintaining these ships is each year increasing the loss which the government must ultimately shoulder. Another suggestion is made to the effect that if the prospective owners plan to operate these ships why cannot the government do as well. The coun- try and the shipping board are aware of the fact that the government should not be in the business of operating ships. Private enterprice can conduct such business where it would be a con- stant embartassment to the govern- ment. The idea of holdinrg other ships un- til they would bring much mors nearly what they are considered to be worth has shown that the government must tako heavy losses on shins as a part of the cost of the war, and that Js what must bo done with the wooden fleet. If will not any more money now they certainly. will not after they have deterior Yet if anyone can bhe produced will give more the shipping board will refuse to sell what it can at a higher figure. they i not TRIFLING WITH PUBLIC SAFETY.

THE WAY TO HIS HEART : “It certainly is a beauty!” the black- haired girl said for the twentieth time. She was looking at the diamond on the red-haired girl’s left hand, and there was more than a hint of sur- prise mixed in with her admiration. “And it's a little surprising, too,” she centured tentatively. “You know, Genevieve, we've néver thought of you as caring for men at all. You've been such a bookworm, always.” “Yes, bookworm, always,” the red- haired girl laughed. She wasn't pretty, but she looked clever. “I don’t mind telling you,” she began. “You see, I decided that it was time for me to marry if I was ever to do so, and since no man had expressed a de- sire for me I felt that I should have to pick one out for myself. When I came to look around at most of the men I know I could see that I didn’t stand a chance. They're all nice pros- perous creatures whose families pet and feed them and urge them on to think that the prettiest girls in town are none too good for them. I decided that my man would have to be one who needed petting. So I picked on one who lived in a boarding house. “Of course there are plenty of nice men who have to board, and it wasn’t hard to meet one. I went and spent a week with Mary Glenn at the place where she lives, and there I met Ralph. It was just luck that he happened to be the right one. I might have had to go on looking for perfect ages. But Ralph met all my requirements. He was not handsome enough to be con- ceited, he did not object to women" having the vote, he belonged to a good family and had a fine position, and he looked as though he were simply pin- ing for a square meal of good home cooking. “It was. easy to get to the point where I could ask him to call, and after the first time, when I fed him homemade cake and real coffee before a real fireplace, it was only natural to ask him to dinner. You should have seen the way he enjoyed that dinner! We had the most wonderful baked ham with clover in it, and southern biscuit —you know he's a Virginian — and a perfectly gorgeous salad and pie that fairly melted in your mouth. I tel you he was loath to go home that night! Of course, it soon got to be a | erown ‘gwtully fond of him, and so— regular thing for him to come once or twice a week, and I never let him leave without feeling sure that he was sim- ply going to dream of that food until he could hardly wait to come again, “My dear, it worked like a charm. Of cofirse he's intellectual, too, and we had wonderful talks about books and things. And after a few weeks he got to the point where he actually thought my hair pretty and didn’t seem able to observe the freckles on my nose. In fact, things went so smoothly that I got dissatisfled.” “How do you mean?’ asked the black-haired girl, her eyes still fixed on the diamond. “Well—" Genevieve was beginning to look slightly emotional. “You see I—I suppose I do believe in love, and I didn’t want to think that he cared for me” simply for cooking. T'd really well, I put him to a test.” I had him | it was awful. come over one night when the cook was out and I got dinner myself, and Perfectly awful! I | burned the meat and the potatoes were | not cooked enough and the biscuits were heavy and everything went wrong. And then I confessed to him | that I'd prepared the dinner myself | and that it was the best I could do. |1 thought if he could stand knowing ;‘ that—" | She stopped, her eyes fixed on the | ring. “What'd he say?’ friend. “I can't tell you all he said. But he eemed to think—well, he was glad to find that I wasn’t perfect in everything. | You see, I'd got him so in love with me by that time that it didn’t matter, | He—he seemed almost relieved to dis- | cover that T sometimes made mistakes. | He—but I can’t tell you any m ore, { of course. It's too absurd.” The black-haired girl looked as | thrilled as though she were at the mov- ies. “ “You're awfully clever!” she said. But the clever girl was jumping up, | pulling on her coat. | "“Goodness!” she exclaimed. ‘I al- most forgot. T'll be late for my cook- ing class if T don’t hu You seej I'm learning how to feed him as well as our cook does.

It takes an extremely prejudiced mind to hold that they are beautiful. They are even referred to at times as “Jack- ass ears.” But those who make them the butt of ridicule ,particularly in such terms unconciously betray their own lack of knowledge of the subject of charagsr reading at least. For “extension” S indicate anything but the characterig- tics of the jackass. They indicate first of all strong char- acter in a general sense. More par-.| ticularly they indicate executive abili- ty and expression of character. The extension-eared are.the people who are “johnny on the spot* with the frank, outspoken practical suggestionfl \o_u may find them bashful during the immature years of youth and in- experience, and this is due to their recognition of their own shortcomings at this period, a recognition which is directly traceable to those well-bal-| anced qualities of mind which produce the executive ability with which they are more than normally endowed. Given maturity and experience, the reticence automatically disappears, and gives place to that happy faculty of being able to take hold of a given sit- uation and handle it to advntage with- out the handicap of too much self- confidence.
