SECRET OF FRENCH CULTURE
^Vibrating Balance Between Head and

John Galsworthy in the Atlantic. They

they never fly into the cloud regions of
theories an.! dreams; their heads have
not time before their hearts have intervened.
their ii"ttrts not time before
their heads cry. "Hold!" They apprehend
both worlds, but with such rapid
alternation that they surrender to
neither.
The secret of French culture lies In
this vibrating balance; from quick
marriage of mind, and heart, reason
and sense, in the French nature, till
the clear created forms of French life J
arise, forms recognized as forms with
definite utility attached. Controlled
expression is the result of action and
reaction. Controlled expression is the
essence of culture, because It alone
makes a sufficiently clear appeal in a
world which is itself the result of the
Incalculable interplay of complementary
or dual laws and forces.
French culture is near to the real
heart of things, because it lias a sort
of quick sanity that never loses Its ,
way; or. when It does, very rapidly re- !
covers the middle of the road.
PRINCESS IS CZAR'S MANAGER
Eudoxia, Eldest Daughter of Ruler of
Bulgaria, Said to Be Cleverest
of Family.
t
Princess Endoxia, the eldest dnugh- .
ter of the czar of Bulgaria, is said to "
be the cleverest member of Ferdinand's
family. She manages the Sofia palace,
receives ministers and envoys and '
apologizes to them for Ferdinand's ,
mysterious absences; runs Ferdinand's J
form at Vttosch when Ferdinand is not !
hiding there; directs his business siiee- I
ulntlons and his enormous private
wealth, and, in particular, runs his big j
land-development scheme around t'lmskovo.
near (lie Turkish frontier.
Kudoxia is black-eyed, Mvely and ,
pretty, with an ambition, Sofia declares, ]
to be married quickly, and cynics add
that Ferdinand chose the German side ;
Instead of the allies' because Germany .
lias vast supplies of bridegrooms of
royal, princely and ducal blood. In
ftofin, Kudoxia Is known as "Bulkunska i
XMevn"?the Maid of the Balkans. In t
summer she makes solitary tours In j,
the hills, puts up in shepherds' huts, ,
end shocks Ferdinand, who is a timid j
nan with a sharp distrust of his sub- t
jects, and a faith, inherited from a
thousand years of Bourbon Ancestors, ,
that women, like men, of royal blood j \
ore throe thnes eacred. '<

Trying to Do Their Bit. ,
While nearly every woman is trying j s
to do her hit In some way, there are at ,
Jeast a hundred thousand other fair j r
ones who believe they can serve their I
country by breaking Into the movies, \
notes n New York critic. That is why '
every motion-picture office Is crowded
iwlth applicants and why mot Ion-pic- 1
lure managers are busy men these days ' :
of fruqtic lilmdom. It requires much t
patience, nerve and sometimes a set v
?f burglar's tools to enable a would-be : ,
actress to reach a manager, however, j <
tint an overdressed woman of rather j
ripe years gushed her way past the
orray of office hoys and clerks Into
the sanctum of the man who hires and ,
tiros. "I wish to become a movie actress,"
she announced. "I feci that I
have within me the makings of a great
Impersonator of the silent drama."
"Have you ever hail any experience,
madam?" asked the manager. "Miss, j
If you plonse," simpered the applicant. |
"No, I haven't any experience. My |
race is n>y fortune." "Well, you need I
not worry nbout the Income tax, If ; 1
flint's the ease," grunted tho lunnngor.
'Don't slam tho doo*."

Fearless Japanese Official. ,
Of nil tho eccentric characters In
Japan, ono of tho most famous nnd >
distinguished is probably Viscount Dr. (
Jnnjiro TnJIri. prosldont of tho 1m- '
portal board of nudit. Ho flat tors no- ]
body, not excepting himself, says n |
Correspondent, and is feared by all <
Who are not sincere. Tho late I'rlnce <
Kotsura was once scolded by him, and
not long ago Itaron Shlbusnwn waxed
bot In anger at a public meeting as he '
rose to refute the charges of commercial
corruption which Viscount TaJIrl
Jind made against Japan's business
world at largo. lie Is outspoken when
ho thinks tho occasion demands outspokenness.
Fearlessness of public (
opinion or ridicule Is dramatically ex- !
cmplltled in the very simple and unpre- '
tentiou* life that he Is leading. Ills '
food is of the simplest variety. He '
dally carries to the office a bento box i
filled with rlee and some pickled plums, .
nnd during (he past <10 years he has
ever stuck to his Spartan lunch. j (
Fish at Reasonable Price.
The Canadian government's venture \
to supply the public with fish at a r?'aBonable
price lias proved a success. A
refrigerator service from Nova Scotia ! I
to Ontario was provided, and the gov- ]
ernmcnl's scheme wns advertised. In
one week there were three earn carry- ,
ing approximately CO,000 pounds of
fish, as against normal shipments of (
fi.OOO pounds. The varieties sold under
the government's plan, which provides
'fhat the buyer shall take the whole
flsh, are haddock nnd market cod. These
wore the only ones available In qunn- 1
titles to* justify the experiment. Haddock
Is well known; market cod la
practically a newcomer.
