The place to which the lover of Eng lish literature will sooner or later turn his steps Is Twickenham. No other small town can boast of having been the residence and tieloved abode of so many famous literary lights. With It are associated the Immortal names of Pope, Horace Walpole. Swift, Gay, Lady Wortle.v Montagu, Gibson, Bos- well. Johnson. Tennyson and Dickens. Surely this Is enough to make any place doubly Immortal! Twickenham was well nicknamed by Horace Wal ls, le the Balae. or Tivoli, of England, for It has truly been to London what Balae was to ancient Rome—Indeed, in a far higher degree. The big red brick house In Montpelier road where Alfred Tennyson lived for so many years of his earlier married life was the one In which many of his earlier poems were written. There his son Lionel, the sec ond Lord Tennyson, was born, and there the author of “Idylls” entertained many of his literary friends and ac quaintances. That house should surely be sacred to all lovers of English liter ature. which saw the dawu of "In Me- morlam,” which witnessed those de lightful gatherings graced by Tenny son, Hallam and kindred spirits within Its walls It Is today called "Tennyson House.’’—Westminster Gazette. Men's Maids. “Men's maids, yes,” said an employ ment agent. “There are more of them than of men's men or valets. Visit the fashionable hotels of California, Flori da, the Riviera. Egypt, and as you pass open bedroom doors of a morning or an afternoon wbat do you see? Maids changing the studs in evening shirts, pressing trousers with patent alcohol Irons, brushing coats and putting fresb laces In boots. The average well to do couple—the couple that can afford the best winter and summer resorts— travel with a maid, but not with a maid and a valet for, after all, a valet is very expensive, and his duties occu py only a few hours a day, and a maid can get through all of them just as well as not, So the average lady's maid Is a man's maid as well—maid to the wife, valet to the husband. She ___ likes her latter duties. They are, you see. simple and easy, and they draw forth the most generous tips.”—New York Press. Reynard th. Fox. Renard, or. as It Is more usually written, Reynard. Is the name given to tbe fox In a famous German epic of the fourteenth century called "Rey nard tbe Fox." The book lg really a satire on the state of Germany in the middle ages, the different animals, each of which are given a special name, 2’Pifylng different institutions. Thus Reynard the Fox stands for the church Isengrlm the Wolf for the barong am i odel tbe Lion for the emperor. Oth er characters are Tlhert the Cat and Rruln the Rear. Both In the last nam «1 owe and that of Reynard the per- “»»«I name given by the author has passed into common speech. Slips of an Absentminded D.ntiitd Simple Arithmetic.
