Georges Clemenceau, war-time premier of France, came to America Saturday on a mission of peace. The fiery old tiger earnestly voiced the purpose of his tour In a brief response at city hall to an address of welcome by Acting Mayor Hulbert, "In the world at this time," he de clared, "is a crisis which hasn't been settled. How it will end, nobody knows. If you take the wrong side well, the war counts for nothing and we may have to go to war again.' If it turns out right, and the right thing is done at the right time, then it will be the greatest step for the civiliza tion of mankind." Clemenceau's idea of "the right thing" is the, message he will give to America In a series of addresses here and in Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, Washington and Philadelphia.

Am looking for ward with great pleasure to seeing you In Washington." These were the day's serious spots, For the rest, it was a day of madcap adventure for the aged statesman and he went .to it with a vim that belled his 81 years. Giver's Sanity Doubted. New York.

Porter Illustration by H. Livingstont CHAPTER IX Continued. 24- Th en she spoke of me, of my child hood, and her voice began to quiver. You can see things so much more clearly when you stand off at a dis tance like this, you know, than you can when you are close to them I She broke down and cried when she poke of the divorce, and ot the influ ence it had upon me, and of the false idea of marriage it gave me. She said it was the worst kind of thing for me the sort of life I had to live. She said I grew pert and precocious and worldly wise, and full of servants' tulk and Ideas. She even spoke of that night at the little cafe table when I gloried In the sparkle and spangles and told her that now we were seeing life real life. And of how shocked she was, and of how she saw then what this thing was doing to me. But It was too late. She told more, much more, about the later years, and the reconciliation; then, some way, she brought things around to Jerry and me. Her face flushed up then, and she didn't meet my eyes. She looked down at her sew ing. She was very busy turning a hem just so. She said there had been a time, once, when she had worried a little about Jerry and me, for fear we would separate. She said that she believed that, for her, that would have been the very blackest moment of her life; for It would be her fault, all her fault. I tried to break in here, and say, "No, no," and that It wasn't her fault ; but she shook her head and wouldn't listen, and she lifted her hand, and I had to keep still and let her go on talk ing. She was looking straight into my eyes then, and there was such a deep, deep hurt in them that I just had to listen. She said again that it would be her fault; that if I had done that she would have known that It was all be cause of the example she herself had set me of childish willfulness and self ish seeking of personal happiness at the expense of everything and every body else. And she said that that would have been the last straw to break her heart. But she declared that she was sure now that she need not worry. Such a thing would never be. I guess I gasped a little at this. Any how, I know I tried to break in and tell her that we were going to sepa rate, and that that was exactly what I bad come Into the room In the first place to say. But again she kept right on talking, and I was silenced before I had even begun. She said how she knew It could never be on account of Eunice. That I would never subject my little girl to the sort of wretchedly divided life that I had to live when I was a child. (As she spoke I was suddenly back in the cobwebby attic with little Mary's diary, and I thought what If It were Eunice writing that !) She said I was the most devoted mother she had ever known; that I was too devoted, she feared sometimes, for I made Eunice all my world, to the exclusion of Jerry and everything and everybody else. But that she was very sure, because I was so devoted, and loved Eunice so dearly, that I would never deprive her of a father's love and care. I shivered a little, and looked quick ly into Mother's face. But she was not looking at me. I was thinking of how Jerry had kissed and klssad Eunice a month ago, when we came away, as if he just couldn't let her go. Jerry is fond of Eunice, now that she's old enough to know something, and Eunice adores her father. I knew that part was going to be hard. And now to have Mother put It like that I began to talk then of Jerry. I Just felt that I'd got to say something. That Mother must listen. That she didn't understand. I told her how Jerry loved lights and music and dancing, and crowds bowing down and worship ing him all the time. And she said yes, she remembered; that he'd been that way when I married him. She spoke so sort of queerly that again I glanced at her; but she still was looking down at the hem she was turning. I went on then to explain that I didn't like such things ; that I . be lieved that there were deeper and higher things, and things more worth while. . And she stld yes, she was glad, and that that was going to be my sav ing grace; for, of course, I realized that there couldn't be anything deeper or higher or more worth while than keeping the home together, and put ting np with annoyances, for the ulti mate good of all, especially of Eunice. She went right on then quickly, be fore I could say anything. She said that, of course, I understood that I was still Mary and Marie, even if Jerry did call me Mollle; and if Marie had married a man that wasn't always con genial with Mary, she was very sura Mary hud enough stamina nnd good sense to make the best of it; and she was very sure, also, that If Mary would only make a little effort to be once In a while the Marie he had married, things might be a lot easier for Mary. Of course, I laughed at that. I had to. And Mother laughed, too. But we understood. We both understood. I had never thought of it before, but I had been Marie when I married Jerry. I loved lights and music and dancing and gny crowds just exactly as well as he did. And It wasn't his fault that I suddenly turned into Mary when the baby came, and wanted him to stay at home before the fire every evening with his dressing-gown and slippers. No wonder he was surprised. He hadn't married Mary he never knew Mary at all. But, do you knowj I'd never thought of that before until Mother said what she did. Why, prob ably Jerry was just as much disap pointed to find his Marie turned Into Mary as I But Mother was talking again. She said that she thought Jerry wa a wonderful man, In some ways; that she never saw a man with such charm and magnetism, or one who could so readily adapt himself to different per sons and circumstances. And she said she vyas very sure If Mary could only show a little more Interest In pictures (especially portraits), and learn to dis cuss lights and shadows and perspec tives, that nothing would be lost, and that something might be gained; that there was nothing, anyway, like a com munity of Interest or of hobbles to bring two people together ; aud that It was safer, to say the least, when It was the wife that shared the commu nity of interest than when It was some other woman, though of course, she knew as well as I knew that Jerry never would She didn't finish her sentence, and because she didn't finish it, it made me think all ihe more. Then, In a minute, she was talking again. She was speaking of Eunice. She said once more that because of her, she knew tnnt she need never fear any serious trouble between Jerry and me, for, after all, it's the child that always pays for the mother's mistakes and short-sightedness, just as it is the sol- Then' She Spoka of Me, and of My Childhood, and Her Voice Began to Quiver. dier that pays for his commanding offi cer's blunders. That's why she felt that I had had to pay for her mistakes, and why she knew that I'd never com pel my little girl to pay for mine. Sha said that the mother lives in the heart of the child long after the mother is gone, and that was why the mother always had to be so careful. Then, before I knew It, she was talk ing briskly and brightly about some thing entirely different; and two min utes later I found myself alone out side of her room. And I hadn't told her. But I wasn't even thinking of that I was thinking of Eunice, and of that round, childish scrawl of a diary up stairs in the attic trunk. And I was picturing Eunice, in the years to come, writing her diary; and I thought, what if she should have to I went upstairs then and read that diary again. And all the while I waa reading I thought of Eunice. And when it was finished I knew that I'd never tell Mother, and that I'd never write to Jerry not the letter that I was go ing to write. I knew that. They brought Jerry's letter to me at Just that point. What a wonderful letter that man can write when ho wants to I He says he's lonesome and homesick, and that the house is like a tomb with out Eunice and me, and when am I coming home? I wrote him tonight that I going tomorrow." THE END. was Japanese Ideas That "Persist." Popular belief in Japan has it that If one employs the same road going to and from a funeral, the evil spirits, now acquainted with the route, would be inclined to lead another relative of the deceased to the graveyard.
