For answer Alice reiterated her command to Karl, "You tell her." "As a last resort," said Karl, "we were going to bundle you and Alice, | Miss Parker and little Mary all on to | my yacht and send you out where { You would get only the wind-swept | ozone of the sea."

"Would, you really like to go, Ka- | therine, for a long voyage?" | "Can you be gone for a long time, | Alice?" I asked. | "Just as long as you wish, dear- | est," she answered. "We can go into | different ports and perhaps Tom can { meet us at one of them occasionally." | "Why, aren't you going with us," | I said to Karl. | "No, I have had enough of: sailing | for awhile.

"All right, Karl, I think I'll 80 a- round the world," said Alice. | "Do you really mean that, Alice?"

It is ostentatiously fitted up with unusual auxiliaries and trap- pings and huge monograms, all to make it "different". It is less a car in which to ride than a possession to display. It is meant to excite comment and envy and admiration. Behold, Solomon up to date! Who is the Queen of Sheba of whom this showy automobile will make con- quest? For the spirit of Solomon, which was the primitive oriental spirit of extravagance and display, 'shines forth from the possession of a ma chine unlike that of this man's neighbors. It is the same sort of exaltation and self-glorification that builds ornate mansions and wears superlative jewelry and keeps the man-milliners rich by providing original gowns for women who want to win the envious glances of other women. Of course we have improved a bit upon 'Solomon, carrying self-lauda- tion and self glorification a step fur- ther, by means of the hired press- agent, who nowadays is indispens- eble to the 'society leader" and the "big" business man. : What a hit Solomon would have made in New York, with all of its avenues of 'news-dissemination and publicity-promotion! Our first com- ment upon this strangely-chosen les- son is that the persistence of vulgar pride and vain-glory and display throughout the long centuries is a depressing fact with which ail shapers of thought must reckon.

"Tom needs a vacation, too, and it will be a lot of fun for him to spend a couple of months with us in Euro- pe, cruising around the Mediterran- ean and maybe a couple of months somewhere later in the Indian Ocean or some other good place. Doesn't it sound fine, Katherine? We could be gone a year and when you come back the roses in your cheeks will have re- turned and just think, the baby pro- bably will be walking. Wouldn't it be | fun to have to teach her to get rid of her sea legs?" "Alice, you do have the most fan- tastic ideas," I remarked, "but the idea appeals to me and if Karl thinks that we will'not bankrupt him by this voyage, I shall be very glad to do it." "Never fear, Katherine. I'll meet you somewhere over in Europe, for I'm going to open up some oil wells in Roumania," "Oh, well, then you can certainly cross the ocean with us," said Alice. "and I'll beg Tom to trot along. "When do you think Katherine will be well enough to start?" she asked. "Well, I think I'll be able to start in about a month, let's ask Miss Par- ker and she can have us all ready." The idea seemed to appeal to Miss Parker quite as much as any of us. Even Tom Staunton was quite enthu- siastic about it and all was bustle and preparation about the house for the next thirty days.

He is simply the vain and strutting oriental po- tentate. It was and is the way of the East and its peoples to love magnificence and a might and states and pomp. The man of power there surrounds himself with trappings of splendor. The Arabian Nights and tho story of the Queen of Sheba's visit to Solomon are cut out of the same piece of cloth. Both are es- sentially of the East, eastern-- though the new-rich "rotter" -- goulash millionaire," they call him in Scandinavia -- coarsely boasting of his wealth and purchases and possessions; is so thoroughly at one with them that a person wonders whether, after all, there are any geographical limitations to vanity and vulgarity. > Solomon was undoubtedly the foremost monarch of his generation.

In|} - addition to the regplendant state of kis court, he pogtessed a wisdom and intellectual brilliance and sub- tlety © which appealed strongly to people who have ever honored wis- dom. An intersting echo of that fact is the 'prevalence throughout the Near East today of tales of Solomon's cunning; and shrewdness, asd even of his magical gifts; for the Moslem folk-lore associates him with jinne and spirits and other-world powers. All manner of grotesque and extrav- agant stories concerning Solomon are to be heard in oriental cafes and camps. A King and a Builder. Traces of Solomon's building may be found afar. He extended Israel to its widest borders. No one famil- iar with the region can withhold admiration from the king who ruled from the Red Sea to the Anti-Leba- non mountains. Palmyra, "Tadmor in the Wilderness," one of the won- derful ruins of the world, in the Syrian desert east of Homs, was built by him. His hand was npon the fascinating old cities of Petrz and of Baalbeck. He built a city at the head of the Gulf of Akaba where the British fleet kept 'rendes- vous with its Arab allies during the war. It was widespread kingdom that came under Solomon's domin- on. His own palace was of dazzlinz Sumptuousness, and likewise the Temple of Jehovah that he builded. What he did was all on a grandiose scale, as witness the huge quarries under the city of Jerusalem, whence Le excavated building material. Most of the devious and mysterious tun- relings beneath the temple area were doubtless of the same period. Now, all that is left are the few scribbled stones, wor smooth by the kisses of Jewish devotees, known as the "Wailing Place of the Jews." By present standards, Solomon's splendor would be condemned as so- cially inequitable, being merely for his own glory, and not for the wel- fare of the people. All his buildings were at the cost and by the toil of the common folk, who had cause to complain bitterly at the burdens they bore.
