Moreover, she has brown eyes that narrow quickly with laughter, pink cheeks and a low, eoft Southern voice. | I don’t believe she would deny that these things have helped her in her work. I know that she told me yes- terday that in all her experience she has known not more than one or two really successful teachers who were not attractive in appearance. “It used to be accepted as in- evitable that if a woman had a mind, if she were intelligent, s! must be a frump,” Mre.

Don’t you remember how the baby in Dickens's “Bleak House” always wanted to go to Bella Wilfer because she was a ‘boofer lady?” “I know that babies and small chil- dren have that impulse,” I said. “Does it also move the older ones?” “Indeed it does,” said Mra.

SAYS THE PEOPLE ARE RULERS OF EUROPE. “There is no peace in aight,” Col. House said in reassuring his interview on his arrival yesterday. “There is no basis on which to found the first ap- proach to negotiations. Europe is hopeless as to peace.” Col, House explained that even though.the offictals of one country de- sired peace ardently, as from time to time one or another of them must, they could propose no terms which would be acceptable to their own peo- ple and at the same time acceptable to the people of the opposing coun- tries. In war even more than tn peace, Col. House found, the people of Europe govern and their leaders would risk destruction of themselves and of their Governments if they were not guided by what they know is the overwhelm- ing sentiment of their nation, The people of no country in Burope would accept peace to-day except as victors, he felt. “1 was in Switzerland,” said Col.

Frank's plea for com- mutation of his death sentence to life imprisonment was resumed before Gov. Slaton to-day, and was expected to be completed by night. Solicitor Dorsey presented his brief against Frank's application and made an oral argument. Mr. Dorsey discussed the case on three points raised by Frank's attor- neys: First, that Frank was not ac- corded a fair trial; second, that the evidence did not show the defendant's guilt beyond @ reasonable doubt; that Judge L. 8. Roan, the trial Judge, was not convinced of the prisoner's guilt, Regarding the first point, Mr. Dor- sey said counsel never asked a change of venue, and that there was no an- tagonistic sentiment toward Frank prior to the trial. “There Were developments in the trial,” he said, “which might have been calculated to incense the people because of the harrowing details of the crime. The State Supreme Court, however, ruled upon this point that there bad been no showing by the defense that there had been any dem- onstration in the courtroom which could have been held to h: deprived the prisoner of a fair trial. Judge Roan himself, declared the solicitor, eald he had a@ fair trial. “The record shows,” he continued, “the demonstration by the crowd out- aide the courtroom was not heard by the Jurors and that there was nothing to justify the allegation that the crowd in the courtroom shouted to the jury, “Hang or we'll hang you!” The State and Federal courts, sald Mr. Dorsey, held that Frank had not been deprived of any right in that he was absent from the courtroom at the request of the trial Judge when the verdict was returned. The courts also held, he said, that allegations of mob violence Were not sustained, Dorsey was interrupted to allow Rev, C.
