With the onening of the conference that was adjpurned from Genoa to The Hague it rémains to be seen whether| any better progress is going to be made than was done in the Italfan city. There has been time in which to make the most of such understandings as were reachtd at Genoa and to consider what s going td be the policy in dealing with the Russidn situation, but trom the pre- ltminary exchange of views it doesn't ap- year that any. compromise. course has been agreed. upon by the nations par- cipating, and particularly Great Brit- ain and Feance. Francs has agreed to participate but 1t is by no means reconciled to soviet TRusela or the démandy that it made at Genoa. France, through its president, ces the stand that it s - absolutely such ‘a government as long as it ad- heres to the position taken only a few | weers ‘ago. France ‘Has mo intention ‘of doing business with Russia unless it 15 {willing to admit the rights of private property and recognizes the: indebted- ness that it has incurred and it does not look ‘with favor upen other nations tak- ing a view that is contrary thereto. France doesn't belleve that soviet Rus- | sia 1s a country with which any chances can be taken, and in that view of course is supported by the unfavorable re- ults which others have had in negotiat- ing trade agreements. Great Britain, however, doesn't ap- | pear to have budged from its disposition to take a lenient view of Russia and to trust to Juck that whatever is done w encourage that country to meet its r sponsibilities. This s done regardles of the history of the soviets, but the fact that the countrles are not together upon & programme of action doesn't give reat assurance that there will be more accomplished at The Hague 1an there was at Genoa, There has been nothing done fn Rus- to change the views of this country rding soviet responsibility, and fn ng its attitude France indicates that | it views the situation in very much the me manner, Russia can do much to eve the tenslon, but ft remains to be whether it will.

T'thought that if it were well started, she probably would finish it. - 3 “Why, ves, I suppose Miss Martin can ¢ut it for you,” said Je rather ungraciously, when I her ahout' it. “We are pretty much rushed, as I want all these things to! e done’ and put ‘away before I g0 uj to Michigan for a visit and/rest ai my aunt’s next week.” “Miss Martin is so clever, it won't take her but a few minutes to act as| first sewing aid to me, Jess, I smiled| at the dressmaker and she said she would be delighted to give me' a little assistance. She was really much nicer, than Jessamine about it. i “Can’t 1 do something to help you people 2’ I-inquired after thé jersey dress was cut, basted and fitted. It ook 'lopger than I expected, more than an hour, and 1 was impatient toj get it home to Cousin Fannie, because; T knew fhat she wasn't doing anything| more important than studylng her French lesson for the evening class) at_the,seitlement where she' teaches, and she would have time to do some of the stitching, I can't stay here any longer, but isn’t there some little task I can take home with me, Jess 7’ “No, thank you, Lucile,” she answer- ed coldly, but 1 was determined to leave @ pleasant impression ‘on Miss Martin, whose help 1. may require again, so I' quite insisted that they give me something to do. “What a perfectiy ducky little vel- vet jacket,”.1 exclaimed, as I ‘lodked over the garments that were laid out on the bed. “Is this to be trimmed in any way “T did wish it beaded, but I'm afraid there won't be time to do it. I shall have to buy some passamenterie for it,” Jessamine replied. Oh, don't do that, It ought to have hand work on it. Let me do it for you, Jess. Tll have it done in plenty: of time for the wedding. Do let me take it,” I wrapped it in some paper and tucked the little bundle under my arm. “Now 1 can get even with you for' all ‘your kindness to me. It will be exquisite done in autumn colors.” | T was wrong for greatly to my aston- “That will be lovely,” said Miss tin ‘and thanking her warmly for ther timely help to me, T left. When T offered to do that embroid- ery for Jessamine I had no concep- tion of how difficult it is to work on velyet. If grandmother had not learn- ed in the convent in her girlhood to do most chdrming embroidery, X don't know what I should have done. For- tunately, she was glad to. do it for me. It makes dear granny happy to feel that she is useful so I always give any little odds and ends that I can. She worked on the jacket faithfully while Cousin Fapnic finished the slipover for me. I helped by reading 'aloud Cousin Fannies rrench lessons. It was good practice for me to brush up a bit in French and was just the thing for Cousin Fannie, who really needs to hear a more correct accent than hers. I am sure the few days that 1 did this two or three hours helped her a great deal. ‘The coat was wonderfull pretfly when granny got it done, and I hel;z- ed it on to get the effect, and it suit- ed me so well that I decided to bor- row it for one appearance only, at the ‘Waytarers' Club, where I was going to & golf tourney with my new friend, Stephen Vyles. I was awfully glad to have something so novel and chic to wear, as he is a man who appre- ciates smart aressing..I had no idea that Jessamine would care, but in this ishment I met her at the club and she glared at me in an almost ferocious mannez, “Dear me, Jess, T am surprised to see you here. I thought you were oyer in Michigan,” I siad pleasantly. “Well, I'm cerfainly sufptised to see you,” she said eyeing the coat. “It was sweet of you to bring my jac- ket out here on'the chance fo Seeing me and I shall be glad to relieve you of it now, as it is quite too warm to be comfortable, 1 am sure.” Of course there was nothing to do but to remove the jacket which I did as gracef: as_possible under the circumstnaces. 1 don't know what Mr. Vyles thought of the little encounter, bit I know what I thought.-I thought| Jessamine was saockingly rude, and most ungrateful for the beautiful em-; broidery, which ske did not even men- tion. It was sorry that I had done so much trouble for her.—Chicago News. Great Men’s Love Letters BISMARCE TO HIS WIFE When Prince’ Herbert Bismarck pub- Ished the love letters that his father, the Iron Chancellor of Germany, wrote to his mother he not only acomplished a filial duty, but at the same time great- ly enriched German literature. The vol- ume’ in which this. correspondence has been collected contains 506 ettess, many of them gems of sentimental letter writ- ing. It is hard to concelve how the man of “blood and iron” could have in his nature such springs of affection and ro- mance as is shown in this collection. The first of the letters is the one he addressed to Herr von Puttkamer when he asked that gentlemen for the hand of is daughter, Johanna. Bismarck at the time, was over thirty years old and was known in the neighborhood as a harum- searum fellow, addicted to wild company and of intemperate habits. He married Jo- hanna or July 184 Fraulein von Puttkamer, during her engagement was most anxious that future husband should agree With her on all theological questions. In a letter in reply to one of hers urging this, Bismarck says: There are two points in your letter ch give me satisfaction. One is the expression of your indulgence and pati- ence for my weakness and doubts in mat- ters of faith, and the other that you wiil love me even though God should lead our hearts in different directions.” In a letter to his wife from Budapest he pictures to her the beauties of na- ture which he sees about him. He conciudes it as follows: “Where have I heard the song which has haunted me all the day long: ‘Over the blue moun- tain, over the white sea foam, come, thou beloved ome. come to thy lomely home." I cannot think who has sung that for me in auld lang syne. May the an- gels of the Lord guard thee now and al- ways.” ~ One. o the most beautiful letters in the whole collection is that weitten from Frankfort in 1851. Bismarck is seldom introspec e, but in this letter he looks right into his soul, and we get strange glimpses of his character. The finest part of the letter is the following: § “How many changes have my opin- lons undergornie during the past fourteen years ! How much do I look upon now as little that was then great in my eyes and how much now worthy was then mocked at ! How many leaves will grow green within us, give shadow rustle and wither during the next fourteen years if wo live ! I cannot conceive how a thinking man who knows not God can bear to live his life so full, as it must be of self-courage and weariness a life that goes as a stream as a sleep as grass that will soon withel “Were it my lot to live without God, without you and the children, why should I mot cast off this life as I get rid of a dirty shirt ? And yet most of my acquaintances are like this and live. Do not conclude from this letter than T am in the blues, I feel like one who views the yellowing leaves on a beautiful September day. 1 am well and hearty, but I suffer some depres- sion, sometbfag of homesickness, a onging for the forest; the sea, mead- ow, for thee and the children and all mingled with the setting sun and a Beethoven symphony.” Bismarck was made a count in 1865 and a prince in 1871 In 1866 he re- celved $300,000 as his share of the do- nation voted by the Reichstag for the victorious generals.

The King is direct- ly descended from that Marshal Berna- dotte " who, commencing his career by carrying a mus t for the great Napoleon ended by receiving the kingdom of Du- gald Dalgetty's greay northeen hero. At the age of twenty-three Gustav was mar- ried at Karishruhe to Princess Victoria, only daughter of the Grand Duke of Baden. While Crown Prince he several times ruied as regent during the ill- | ness of his father, King Oscar. He is & | man of energetic character and in ear- Yer lifo had a decided predilection for militarism. He differs from his father the late King, in possessing little or no taste for literafure or for sclence. Since coming to the throne, however, he has endeared himself to his subjects by the intelligent and marked concern which he has manifested in all matters that Dertain to their welfare. || Stories That Recall Others His Opportunity.

C. headquarters of the Natlonal Geo- graphic soclety. “With the tiny red square you may dis- patch a letter northward to a point where it will be carried to its journey’s end by a dog sled into some Eskimo village; or southward across the equator toward a mule-back journey up the Andes or a canoe trip into a white settlement among the Tierra del Fuego natives. “Theoretically you are entitled to send a letter with a two-cent stamp as far north as Cape Columbia, the point on Grant Land which is supposed to be Canada's farthest north, were there eith- s . LETTERS TO THE EDITOR More Objections to the Carnivals. Mr. Editor: -When I bacame a tax payer of the East Side, the Battlegrounds was a nice grass Tlot with a path along the river, but twenty-five years of cf ilization and prosperity have turned it into a dump and ball playing ground to break windows and do other damage. The same grass path is now Talman street extension. When the weekly carnivals results are embodied in a Unlyersal Post- al convention to which, by alphabletical right, first signatory, and the Unitéd States of America the second. are entitled to more than alphabetical precedence in the Universal Postal Union. The success of a conference called at the Germany (L'Allemagne) is the “Both America ané Germany, In fact, are here the citizens and tax pavers can not use it to go home for their din- mers; it is taken up by tents and furth- er back it is usell for the accommoda- tion of the patronizers of the carnival at night. Where is the city health and street commissioner? The carnlyals that I see on the Bat- tlegrounds' are not: amusement for the children; they are far too nerve-rack ing and kert too late at night. They are a cover fdr something elso. (Flav you notided that ithe carnivals grow rather numerous since the drinking and gambling establishments are no longer public?) If children must have a play ground in summer the money is taken er post office or friend there to recelve it, and to the far south of Patagonia or across the Strait of Magellan to the Ar- Eentine portion of Tierra del Fuego. The southern limit of your two-cent corre- spondence does mot quite reach Cape Horn, which belongs to Chile, with which a two-cent rate has not been arranged. “East and West your two-cent stamp will reach to New Zealand and Samoa; and to the U. S. Postal Agency at Shang- hai, China, and the U. S. Naval hospital at Yokohama, Japan. Other points in China and Japan require the usual for- eign rate of five cents. u “The alphabetical list of eome sixty | places where a foreign letter will go the rate of ‘two cents an ounce or fra tion thereof’ seems complicated. But it isn't hard to remember i you catalog it geographically instead of alphabet! all. Briefly, you can send a letter any- | where in North American and Central America and to all important points In the West Indies for two cents. The two-cent rate appiles to all South Ameri- can countries except Venzuela and Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay, and Dutch and French Guiana. “In Europe only England, Treland, Scot- land and Wales are included in the two cent zone. All of Asia requires a five- cent stamp except the points mentioned above. The oceanic planes within ‘two cent reach’ are New Zealand (including the Cook Islands as well as the New | Zealand portion of Samoa), Bermuda and | Haitl. Of course it is to be remembered that the two-cent letter rate as well as| other domestic rates apply to Alaska, the Canal Zone, Guam, the Philippines, Porto Rico, American Samoa and the Amerlcan Virgin Islands. Agreement by which more countrles | gradually are belng added ‘o the ‘two | cent list' are reached through the Uni- versal Postal Union, which first mat at Berne in 1874. The oft-repeated state- ment that the post office is a civilizing lagent is realized more fully when it is noted that representatives of the centras powers, the allied countrfes and the Unit- ed States met in friendly conference at Madrid in 1920. As this was the first meeting of the Universal Postal Union since the sessions of 106, n Rome, a great volume of business was transacted.

Mr. Editor: Will you aliow me to say a few words of warning in regard to the ol plant industries groposed for the Thames river?

Massachusetts is now having unpleas- ant experiences With two plants, which are causing a fdot of trouble—one in Fall River and one in Braintree, near Boston.
