UR old friend “Pertinax” of Paris undertakes in the Echo de Paris to explain the much- discussed mission of M, Viviani to this country. M. “Viviani is coming to the United States, says “Pertinax,” merely to answer questions and define Brettch policy for the guidance of the American State Department. The kind of guidance deemed necessary from the French point of view is felt in the following from the Times's cabled version of the “Pertinax” article: “We feared that right off Mr. Harding and his advisers would hasten to make a separate peace with Germany. At London, Simons (head of the German delegation to the reparations conference) awaited this news hourly. Fortu- nately, nothing of the sort has happened.

Gregory NO. 4—FLOWERS, {n the volume which is prev eminently the “Book of God,” the Ina finite Father “Who spreads the earth with | fragrant flowers 1 And bids the lofty cedars grow,” we would quite natarally expect to find more or less reference to the myriadfold miracles of the fields, the Flower, which the late Henry Ward Beecher is reputed to have called “the most beautiful thing God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.” It doesn’t sound a bit like Beechen, for no one knew better than the great Poet-Preacher that flowers have souls, and that one of the richest of life's privileges is that of communing with the voiceless yet eloquent re+ minders of God's love for us, The men who wrote the Bible were dear lovers of the flowers und drew [from them their most beautiful les- wons. The great prophet Isaiah, in thinking of the final victory of truth over falsehood and right over wrong, said: “The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.” Hosea, speaking of the good man, says, “He shall grow as the | cast forth his roots as Lebanon the Great Teacher said one d: o his hearers, “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet [ say unto you that Solomon in all hig glory was not arrayed like one of these.” Who can ever forget the simile in Job? “Man that is born of a woman Is of few days, and full of trouble;) he cometh forth like a flower, and \s Hardi h f 4 gl it fe bet cae ato aaa E illustration from rding has seen at a second glance it is ad 1e mist, “As for man, his days Whether the usual channels of building loan BETS TAAE IN GUBAdadL.

Miller-Hylan, To the Editar of ‘The Evening Workd I think, as well as thousands of others in New York, that Gov, Miller is one of the worst Governors New York ever had and if you would keep. hammering him instead of Mayor autumn, Henri Fabre’s field of study was a little garden in the rear of a very humble dwelling. Yet from his observations there he made many great and fascinating books—books which to-day are the wonder of thinking men. In a stagnant pool he found myriad forms of life. In every web he saw the home of a wonderful creature, whose habits were almost as interesting as those of man. The man busy with making a living cannot be expected to master the sciences of botany and entomology, but by buying a few books on the subject that are written for un- scientific people, he can pass many very delightful hours out of doors. You can travel a hundred miles in an automobile and see very beautiful landscapes, and gardens and houses and village streets. But you will see little else. You can walk a hundred yards across a field or into a wood and, if you are observing, learn a great deal about how the world was made. Watch a spider or a bee, with the books of Maeterlinck or Fabre in your hand. Study the nestling birds, with the help of some authority on their habits. In a little while you will be wondering why you have not done this long ago, for it will teach you unsuspected things about the creation of which you are a part. Inciden- what Nicolls had begun.

He placed the Dutch Ciurch practically on a footing with the English and cemented the friendships that existed. From the viewpoint of the mar- chants of the growing city he was a success. With the knowledge that what is Jersey had been filehed away from New York, he brought Staten Island from the Indians so that there might be no doubt as to what colony {t belonged.
