OMVETTE. Massacre of the Waldensians By REJV. THOMAS B. GREQOIiy. Three hundred and sixty-nine years ago, January 3, 1H5, Francis I ot France signed the decree wlilch prdereA ,tho ex termination, of the. Waldenalans. Jn obedience to the king's decree two columns of troops at once set out for the dis tricts of Merindal, Cabrieres and La Coste. tho beautiful home region of the unoffending peo ple who had been sentenced to destruction. The fiendish agents of the king did their work well. Three thousand Waldenalans were massacred, two hundred and sixty were hanged, and seven hundred sent to tho galleys, while the children were sold Jnto slavery. Houses, and barns were hurried and the fair region was left utterly desolate. Good for nothing as Henry was, he did go .to. the trouble, before signing the de cree, to Bend William du Bellay to look Into the facts. Dellay'o report was fa vorable to the Waldensians as "honest, industrious and charitable farmers, dis charging all the duties of civic life, hut at the same t.lme not conforming to the laws of the church, praying in the vulgar J tongue, and being In the hablt"of choos ing certain persona from among them selves to be their pastors." Henry sent them word that from all accounts they were gretty good subjects, and that everything would bo all right If, within three months, they would "abjure their errors." "nut what would you haVo us abjure, Jf wo are already within tho truth?" they said to the second 'agent of the king. "It is hut a simple formality that I demand of you," said the agent. "We are plain men, air, and wo are 'un willing to do anything to which we cannot honestly assent." They refused to ob jure. Then It was that Henry signed the order fpr their extermination. But thoy would not bo exterminated, and It may he Interesting to know Jhat the moat persecuted people of whom his tory glvws us any knowledge are very much alive.

Cases j 113- ADA PATTKHBON. The mayor of New York gave to n com mittee -trtat called upon him rcccutly a lesson fn politeness. This' committee, i-onpoced of five women and two men, was thero to ymmmtmmmmm. call tho, attention of tho city's chief eecutlve - to certain evils actively ex istent and to ask his ;h4tp. In run' edylng Iho condi tion o which they complained. , T h mayor' rose anI with Impassive face made "a low how and nil the 'other mechanics- -of po ll t e n o, s s beg-v ged 'each vnembcf I..

A gracloiiti womiiriynywluced tho meTmers"ariI 'tdfa' 'wh'dlfpcflta thoy represented. She said they Tiud" cofno to ask their "city fathers" help, A th'fs the face of the executive sofUhtd almost to tho smiling point. Another woman bes ted htm to attend a mass meeting. A third talked of a phnHo of the 'subject In which the committee was Interested, claiming protection for a class she snld was unprotected. The officials face hard ened. A man thanked him .for ' the re forms he had already achieved and ex pressed tho belief that they, would con tinue, .whereupon - his. excellency again looked warmly human. Ho thanked the visitors fpr their kind words, Ignored tho Implications contained In others, and promised to do all In hi power to help the projected plan. When thoy were separating amicably he turned to the first spjeaker and said. "Tho last tlmo you were here with a committee of'flvo ladles you were un fortunato In one of your members." .She watted with an Interrogative smile. "She demanded something," he said, with stress on tho verb. 'That was a mistake" returned the gra cious woman. 1 "1 didn't lllto It," said tho mayor. "I saw you didn't. But 1 didn't frame my request In that way, did I?" "You were sweet and chnrmlng and de lightful, as always." said the city father warmly, "but I wanted to tell that lady an old story. I think It one of Aesop's fables. It concerned a dog with a place of-mea In his mouth. Tho dog started across a plank above a stream. look ing down he saw his reflection lb tho water, tijed to grab 'the piece 6f meat from the 'qthcr dog's mouth and lost his own." Perhaps the mayor of America's great est city shouldn't have said that. Tor haps ho should have been wholly Im personal' In attitude, Incapable of rosent ment. If we consider his duty alone we must agree that ho 'should have been governed wholly by tho1 matter proposed and not at all by the manner of Its rep resentation. A city official Is bound to consider tho end to be attained. The means are no part ot his business. But city officials are not perfect men. There Is no Marcus Aiirellus among them. Ex periences, however bitter, fall tp" purge them of the personal view. "You can get anything you want if you approach the person right" Is a part truth we often hear and It has enough of truth to warrant our thinking of It at odd tlrries and especially when we must ask something from anyone who haa the right, or at least tho power to withhold It. Tho woman who had "demanded" some thing was consistent. It was part of what she had been working, for ten years fpr, She was asking what she and others genuinely merited, but aha' placed an ob stacle In her own path by" the way she had asked for It. Not right? Ot course It wasn't.. Not fair?'' It was manifestly unfair. But we must meet .conditions as they are, not- as they ought to be, and we are still so far from the state of he anxcla that we want requests for our aid to be made with much earnestness If need be, but certainly with courtesy. That was the mayor's little lesson la politeness. tr- Advice to Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIUKAX.

I am learning to care for him. Would you advise me to keep It up, as I am 21 years bid? You must not talk to him JJke that no matter what your age. Proposals of marriage must come from the man.

Often It tho floor Is very smooth a dangerous fall ensues we had many of them when we practiced und If wo were to learn over u'galh, the tiling to do would be to momorlte the music and hover un dertake a faster rhythm without being ablo to depend absolutely on the perfect tlmo of tho accompanist. Hxperknco Is tho best teacher In tho world at least wo have found It so. Tho Popularity begins with tho plain two-step, and whonovcr wo need u tem porary breathing spaco wo go back to the two-step until we nre rested. From tho two-stop we go Into a series of qultn simple steps which we have called for lack of a better name tho double dip, That Is, we take three small steps nnd then dip backward and forward, Just walking enough to turn around. Tho steps merely connect tho backward and forward dips, and the dip backward gives Little Bobbie's Pa V By WILLIAM F. KIKK. My sister's oldest son is cummlng up to tho house tonlte, sed Ma.

Who smiles and bids mo cross the border lino Into her land, and when I fain would stay, I lose her, for she quickly slips away My other self. A girl who Is a part of me, and yot .,, My other self, Is quito a stranger in another land; I fear her, for I cannot understand The mystery in her eyes nor quito fofget This stranger part of mo that I have met My other self, Tho position' simply tho opportunity for tho steps i leading to tho forward dip. The girl stands In front of the man with her hands In his as Illustrated, and' the stop can ho kept up as long as do sired, when tho two-step can bo resumed until the next movement. In tho next position the man holds the. girl ready for very rapid dancing, holding her right hand firmly behind her back with his left, which Is around her waist. Then the whirl begins. Thero aro really iro steps to learn. The dancers step simultaneously in double time, the girl making sure that her movements are In exact accord with her partner's. The movomcnt Is simply the swinging of tho limbs In exact tlmo with the music, left fpot giving place to right and turn ing constantly so that a regular whirl wind effect Is produced. It Is difficult, of course, because of the my purtner Is booked up solid for forty moar weeks. Of course thero are a lot of hicks stubbing around looking for the big tlmo. but mo and mv nnl ar aura enough big tlmo guys .any way you fig ure w.

This can be done as many timea as de sired and tho danco can bo completed with the Mrhlrl, or the two-step can bo resumed. It really looks better "to end the danc with somewhat of a climax, however, so. wo will say that the whirl brings the Popularity to a finish..
