SENTIMENTAL SEE-SAW In Princess Louise's Case, by Nixola Greeley-Smith. N Dec. 11, 19%, the Crown Princess Loutse of Saxony, left her five little children to elope with thelr tutor,’ Prof. Andre Giron. On Feb. 6 of this year the errant Princess parted from M. Giron in a torrent of tears, with the exclamation, “I must see my poor children again!" Into this interval of less than two months were crowded & quantity of romantic Incidents sufficient to overstock @. Bowery melodrama, Louise, who announced at once her’ intention of securing a divorce that she might marry her‘ lover, saw her name stricken from public prayers by the Lutheran clergy, was called upon to resist the earnest plea of the aged Emperor of Austria that she return to her ttle, ones, and was separated from Giron on Jan, 10, to rejoin him @ week later at Mentone. Deprived of the rights, prerogatives and honors due her, asan Austrian Archduchess by decree of Francis Joseph she still clung to her lover till news reached her last week of the serious flIness of her Ubtle son, the Crown Prince, Then the mother-love at last triumphed. She left Giron intending to return home, Of this royal romance, therefore, it may be eat tha® nothing became it ile the ending of {t. Of course, to the praotical mind the suggestion will come that the choice be tween her children and ‘her lover was one the Princess » | should have determined before ‘the romantic slopement to; Geneva. To them, her sentimental right-about-face will have no value because of its tardiness, The strongest love, whether wisely or evilly directed, does not hesitate. If Louise had cared for tier children with the passionate devotion which some mothers lavish upon their offspring she would not have considered @ Mfe apart from them for @ moment. : If she had loved Giron with that intensity which posts an@, some otherwise commonp!ace persons hold is its own justif- cation she could not have allowed the shadows of her absent children to eclipze the radiance of her Iife with him, Some women are born with a talent for loving; others with a genius for maternity. It 1s rarely that the two gifts are combined in one individual, ‘ But the Princess ‘Loutse belongs to neither of these easily! classified types. In her we see the temporary triumph o8: first one and then the other conflicting emotion, a veritable see-saw of the heart. : See-sawing, whether mental or physical, ts not a dignite’ occupation. X ‘The varied emotions of the penitent Princess are not © fitting subject for an epic, And the value the world places; upon uniformity of conduct ds such that consistent vice 1s) frequently less punished by its contumely chan spasmodie virtue, For ithe great world ts run by systems, and though some! of us, the Princess Louise for instance, are inclined to thinle that we are no more obliged to take our lives ready-' than our clothes, if we can afford better, we genorall learn,’ lke ther, that we pay too much for them when fashioned, after our own mensure, and learning it, are willing to wea. hand-me-downs for the rest of our lives. THE EYE-STOMACH TROUBLE. | THE EVE-STOMACH TROUBLE. | Acoording to Dr. George M. Gould, a Philadelphia scientist, | five of the world’s great writers guffered tortures from efe} and stomach trouble.
