the bells began to toll. At first

some family papers and an Old
shawl which had belonged to my
grandmother's grandmother in the
days x)t Napoleon. Por some rea
son, I don't know why, my mother
threw this over her shoulders
It i3 all we have today of that old
home. We buried our silver in
the garden, but when my brother
returned to St. Quentin soon
after the war he could wot find it.
St. Quentin was half destroyed in
the battle of the Marne, "
From St. Quentin the French
family moved to Paris. The
grandmother could not' stand the
shock of leaving her home. She
lost her mind and died soon after
the family arrived in Paris.
My brother was a captain in
tne battle of the Marne," said
Mile. Coqblin. "He had attend
edthe- national . military school In
r oniainDieau. When I came to
Cornell University after the war"
she smiled and lifted her hands
excitedly " I found a student
who had lived in the same room
with my brother at Fontainbleau.
WasnH that nice?"
Mile. Coqblin spent two years
in the United States before com
ing to Eugene, one as a student
at Cornell University, the other
as a French ( teacher at Brjn
Mawr. She is 'a rather short girl
and slender, with dark brown
hair that curls around her face
and large brown eyes which
change their expression continu
ously as she talks.
' ? We. lived in Paris six months."
she continued. -"Much of the
time we could hear the noise of
the battle, and we could see the
eastern sky lighted as if by a
I great fire. I remember the night
of July 13, 1917. We could not
sleep that night. It was all so
terrible." She gave the French
pronounciation of the last word
and dropped v her hands despair
ingly. "Finally the winter came
an we had no coal and not enough
to eat. ' For two months we lived
on potatoes. For two years I ate
which we obtained at the chem
ist's. v
'tMy mother was a member of
the French Red Cross. She was
a manager in a hospital and there
she met an American officer who
later cma to our home to have
supper with us every Saturday
night. When I came to the Unit
ed ; States I visited him and his
family in Cleveland: they were
lovely to me."
"You know," Mile. Coqblin's
eyes became misty for the first
time, "I had two brothers who
were lost in the war. My mother
is still waiting for them to come
home." She paused; then add
ed. ''I do not speak of it. I am
young now again, tout I grew old,
during' those four years, waiting
for news."
After living in Paris for six
months Mile. Coqblin and her
family were obliged to move
south again. They went this time
to Nevers to the home of her an
cestors. "Certainly ,the comfort
able and charming American
houses are much different from
that old home of ours at Nevers
with its large rooms, its vast
chimneys and its Gothic win
dows," said the French girl. "In
the winter time it is rather cold
in spite of half a tree burning on
the fireplace. It is very charm
ing once a year, however, when
my brother and I gather our
friends, asking them to come
dressed in some medieval cos
tume." Mile. Coqblin's father is a prof
fessor at Nevers college. The
family were living there when the
news of the armistice reached
them.
"Oh that day!" exclaimed the
French girl. "I never saw a day
like that day. The boy and girl
students ran down the streets
hand in hand sinking songs. We
do not do that often in France.
The firing ceased at 11 or 12
o'clock and the news reached us
about 3 o'clock. They could not
h'jld us in the school room."
Speaking of her two years in
America, Mile. Coqblin said:
"Travel makes roe kinder and
broader minded. I like the of
every nationality. I like the
West, and I owe to the University
of Oregon Women's League the
opportunity to enjoy one year's
study here, and 1 am very grate
ful for it."
Minister Says Secret of
Care Free Life Is in God
CHICAGO The secret of a
carefree life is to put it in line
with God's purpose, declared Dr.
Henry Hdward of Melbourne. Aus
tralia, in an address on ''Don't
Worry," opening the nineteenth
season of the Sunday Evening
club. -.x
Christ's cure for a worried life
is explained in His words: 'Seek
ye first the Kinkdom of God and
His righteousness and all these
things (what you eat and drink
and wear) shall be added to
you'," Dr. Howard said. "Every
one who has stood tip to life has
left its worry, stress and strain.
But the way out from worry does
not lie along the line of escape
from work.
"The birds and flowers to
which Christ referred as carefree,
are among the busiest of God's
creatures. The work translated
'toil" does not mean 'work. but
work plus worry. First of all
stand right with Him. This will
swing life into harmony by putting
it on the rails of God's permanent
way, any everything life needs will
come along the lines of fulfilled
relations to Him as Master and
