AVE you ever no- ticed what a com- mon failing it is, among city people especially, to pay too much attention to petty details and lose sight of the big important things? These are the sort of persons who never saw # forest, but only a lot of tall trees bunched together. They require distance to lend enchantment to any view. It is a matter of vital concern to them if a eampanile falls in Venice, or if the Leaning Tower of Pisa is reported a foot or two further out of plumb than it ought to be. But ask them the height of the Metropolitan tower on Madison Square, or how to get to the Brooklyn Museum of Arts md Sciences, or what the groups of statuary in front of the New York Custom House represent, and they become suddenly vague and listless. Yesterday a lady who has lived the greater part of her life in New York City mentioned that she had been to the Public Library. “How did those lions strike you?” she was asked. “Lions? Are there lions there? I didn’t know there were any at the Library.” | \ This might have been irony, rather than inattention, as many amateur art critics facetiously pretend that the two sculptured beasts guarding the Fifth avenue entrance to the Library are not lions at all, but a species of mythological monsters. However, when the visit or was further questioned as to what she thought 6f the building as a whole—the $10,000,000 marble palace designed to be an architec tural landmark through future ages—she replied: “Why, the fact is, I went just to consult a certain book, and T didn’t particularly notice the surroundings, nor anything—except that the Library is in a different place, It used to be down in Lafayette street, didn’t it?” Such is life, when we fail to use our eyes for what they are worth and let routine habit deaden the faculty of observation. + DISCRIMINATION AND RETALIATION OLDIERS wearing || |” the United States | uniform have been p “discriminated 4 against” in Coney Island dance halls. ‘ = A national guards- | man in full regalia! bie is not invariably persona grata amid the scenes of gnyety at Asbury | Park.

But he had fallen upon evil times and was so poor that he was forced to become valet to Don Selluste, Prime Minister of Spain. Salluéte had offended the beautiful young Queen, who ordered him banished. The arrogant Prime Minister was mad with rage and shame at his disgrace and he vowed to be revenged upon the Queen, He chose Ruy Blas as his instrument of revenge. Don Salluste had learned thatRuy Blas secretly worshipped the Queen, as he might have worshipped a star far above his reach. He sent for Ruy Blas and made tho valet write a love letter at his dictation, which Salluste sald was intended for a sweetheart ‘of his own. The letter stated that the writer was in grave danger and {t tm- plored his anonymous sweetheart to come to him at onc Salluste then made Ruy Bias write a second document vowing to obey him always and in all things. Just before going into exile Salluste introduced Ruy Blas to thé court ae his nephew, Don Cesar de Bazan, who, he sald, had just returned fabulously rich from Indie. Ruy Blas hated the deception, but was bound by his oath of obedience to Sallui A Valet’e | th. herhlal from one court office to another.

Never before had Spain been so well governed. in his seal for his country’s welfare Ruy Blas forgot he was merely an oath-bound valet. He was gloriously happy, for Ms official work brought him frequent interviews with the Queen. He did not breathe to her @ word of his all consuming love, Yet he in stinotively felt that his love was returned. At the height of Ruy Bi new-found power and happin Balluste came back secretly to Madrid. He mado himself known to Ruy Blas, sneered at the latter's patriotic statesmanatp and, by virtue of the oath, forced the ex-valet to perform menial duties for him. Then, when he judged the time ripe, Salluste sent to the Queen the letter to had made Ruy Bias write nearly a year before. Tho Queen, receiving ft and thinking from {ts piteous wording that Ruy Bias was in peril, camo ht to his palace. Confronting the Queen as she reached Ruy Blas's apartments, Saluste told her the man she loved was no aristocrat, but @ mere valet. He threatened to spread broadcast the story of the love affair unless the Queen should consent to Abdicate the throne, Horrified at fear of discovery and thrilling with contempt for Ruy Blas for what she deemed his base deception, the Queen promised ¢o sign the abdication at once. But Ruy Blas sprang forward, snatched the paper from her, tore it to pleses and then whirled, sword in hand, on Sallust "he cried. “I WAS your valet. I AM your executioner.” Bias laa him dead.
