E—4 About Well-Known Folk In Books, French Bastille Day and “La Marseillaise.” Turkish Stamps Honor Women. Lady Astor’s Wit. BY ROBERT CRAWFORD. This is the glorious 14th of July, the 146th anniversary of the fall of the Bastile: “Ye sons of freedom, wake to glory. * * * March on! March on! All hearts resolved on victory or death. * * * O liberty! Can man re- sign thee, once having felt thy gener- ous flame?” Today, almost a century and a half since those words were written by the young Frenchman Roger de L'Isle and sung on that April night in 1792 by a little company at Strasburg, they will ring throughout the French Re- public and in every land where Frenchmen are assembled. With the exception of “The Star Spangled Ban- ner” there is no national hymn with such soul-stirring appeal to the hearts and patriotism of men as the *“Marseillaise.” Much excitement is expected in Paris today owing to an order issued by the Executive Committee of the National Union of Combatants, with almost 1,000,000 members, to the ef- SOCIETY.

Leaving his country for the first time, the premier has been going places and seeing things; riding in state after King George at the jubilee, | visiting Italy to have a talk with II| Duce and then to Washington to see | President Roosevelt and talk over &/ few things with the Secretary of State, Mr. Hull. Australia is very anxious to regain her place as one | of the world's foremost gold produc- ing countries. Once 40 per cent of the world’s gold was produced there, but now oniy 2 per cent of the whole. The Republic of Turkey, one of the youngest and most progressive of post-war republics—it will be 10 years old next October—paid the women of Turkey and of the world a very charm- ing and unique compliment at the time of the meeting of the twelfth International Woman Suffrage Alli- | ance at Istanbul—Constantinople, eh | —last April, In issuing a series of most artistic postage stamps with por- | THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

When the judge of the Divorce Court asked ‘Mandy, up-to-date, jazzy and corpu- lent, why she wanted to get a divorce from Jim, adding that Jim was a first-rate darky, a good provider and did not drink, she said: “Well, to tell you the truth, Jedge, I jes’ done lost my taste for Jim."” ‘The rumor of the return to Vienna of the Archduke Otto of Hapsburg has given some impetus to the sale of Sheila Fitzgerald’s delightful novel, a story of Hungary since the Vorld War.

The order is aimed at the red flags carried usually by Communists and Socialists. France’s former prison fortress, the Bastile, was built in Port St. Antoine, Paris, in 1369 and destroyed July 14, 1789, three years before the battle hymn was written. In June, 1792, 1,500 men wearing red caps and armed with muskets and swords marched from Marseilles to Paris singing this hymn. And now the key of that dread fortress reposes peacefully at Mount Vernon. Any mention of the French Revo- lution and down comes Carlyle's fa- mous history, always thrilling with that element of realism, romanticism and tragic power which sweeps the reader along into the very maelstrom of blood and glory. It is interesting to compare the prominent characters of the Revolution as depicted by Car- lyle with the same men as portray d by Guizot in his “Reign of Terror.” Carlyle's description of Charlotte Corday'’s journey to Paris. whither she goes to assassinate Marat: “None takes farewell of her, wishes her good journey * * * the drowsy Caen dili- gence lumbers along, amid drowsy talk of politics * * * in which she mingles not; all night, all day, and again all night * * * then Paris with her thousand black domes” etc. ‘Then Carlyle's description of the love- ly Charlotte—well, it's much stronger and more attractive chan the painting in the Corcoran Gallery. Washington is all a-twitter over the engagement of Count Rene de Chambrun, scn of the Countess de Chambrun. formerly Clara Longworth of Cincinnati, and ille. Marie Jose Laval, daughter of the French prime minister, M. Laval, who came over here one time to talk cver the French debt situation. The piemier of France boasts of his peasant ancestry and has a way with the Prench people. Recently when cabinets were falling every few days, the people said, “Let M. Pierre Laval do it"—and he did. ‘The Lavals are most popular in Paris society. Count Rene is a direct descendant of the Marquis de La Fayette, to whom Americans are much beholden for his aid to the Colonies during the Revolution. His mother is a writer of considerable distinction and her book, “The Making of Nicholas Long- worth,” sometime Speaker of the House, was particularly charming in its simplicity of style and the de- lightful picture it gave, not only of the Longworth family and their in- teresting and intelleciual home life, but also for the glimpses it gave of society in the Middle West in the early pioneer days. The effete East had to lower their eyebrows, for they could scarcely believe there was so much culture on what they thought of as the crude frontier. There is also a rumor that Count Charles de Chambrun, uncle of Count Rene and the present French Am- bassador at Rome, 15 to succeed M. de Laboulaye. Gen. Hugh S.

Guests who attended the White House dinner last week in honor of Australia’s premier and Mrs. Joseph Aloysius Lyons rather expected to see Mrs. Lyons wearing a glorious string of pearls, as the general opinion in the outside world is that every one in the Commonwealth of Australia wears pearls—or did.
