ing with the trading townsmen against the nobles. The great earl, who . had made Kdward the l'ourth king, found himself for very personal reason: trying to unseat that prince and tt put in his place another Kdward, of the house of Lancaster, heir tc Henry the Sixth, whom Kdward of York was holding a prisoner in the tower. Yet Warwick's path was no' an easy one; while his younger daughter was married to Kdward of I-uicaster. Iiis other daughter Isabel was the wife of the king'syounger brother Clarence, who wa as yet the male heir to the throne. However, things might ko, a Warwick might some day sit upon the throne of Kngland if on? did not take thought of the possibilities that lay hidden behind the inscruptable .smile of the kinp's youngest brother, Richard Duke of Gloucester. Hut Warwick was at heart flshtinp; the battle of aristocracy while the king wa-s with the current which was converting; an agricultural into a trading population. With Warwick was his powerfu fighting brother. Montagu: with him or against him. who could tell? was his other brother, the facile archbishop who aspired to be pope, whose mansion was at onc a school for youth, a court for middle life, an asylum for age. whither as to a Medici tied the letters and the arts. Fn the end Wr.rwick found himself in open battle against tin king he had placed upon the throne. The impetuous and liery temperament of Kdward the l'ourth was rendered yet more fearful by thr indulgence of every intemperance.

His very virtues strengthened Iiis vices; his courage stilled ever whisper. It almost seemed as if hi loved to prvoke a danger for tin pleasure it gave his brain to baffle or his hand to crush it. And ye lie had a shrewd policy which perhaps drew him knowingly into tin luarrel with Warwick, which mere ly his evil passions seemed to provoke. "I wish to raise a fresh nobility." he said, "to counteract the pride of the old; only upon neu nobles can a new dynasty rely." This was the Yorkist principle of humbling the baronial and raisitu the middle class. It was easy of execution at a period when a martial aristocracy was beginning t merge into a voluptuous court. Warwick was defending freedom for the people as ag'.nst king and nobles. Yet the earl and Robir found themselves fighting In the same army. "Neither White Rose nor Red shall be on my banner." cried Hilyard, "but our standard shall he the Rory head of the first oppressor we can place upon a pole. We are taxed. ground. pillaged, plundered sheep, maintained to be sheared for your peace or butchered for your war." Through the cau.'-e of the gentle Henry in the Tower Robin saw greater freedom for the people. War is not the only theme of the book, however. The intrigues of the Queen's family, the patient diplomacy of the bitter and revengeful Margaret of Anjou, Queen of tin king in the tower, the love of the gentle Anne Nevilo for Margaret's son Kdward, the influence of royal marriages on the fate of nations, the struggles of the Lollards, predecessors of the puritans who caused Charles the First so much trouble;

ClotKes for tlie older men

S'OT OLD; just older; there are are almost no old men these days; the spirit of youth lasts in most of us well into the seventies and farther.

The spirit of youth shows itself in clothes; and the older men want to dress in style, as well as the younger men. Of course, the very young styles are not exactly the thing for the man of fifty or more: but there. are smart styles for such men, and we have them.

Hart Schaffner & Marx

are just as clever in designing these as the very youthful styles. They produce for us a great variety of different types in design as well as a great varietv of sizes.

There's not a man in town, of any ac or shape, that zee haven't just the clothes for. The new clothes for fall are now ready; glad to show you any time.
