The late FRANCISCO PETRARCA derived
much comfort and won everlasting fame
from the yearly sonnets in which he re-
minded himself Of his early passion for
LAURA. Inquisitive commentators. who
are soeptical as 10 whether DANrE's
BEATRICE was a real woman. somehow
have never doubted the material exist-
ence Of the great humanist's love. They
have differed as 20 which fourteenth ccn-
tury Laura he adored. but agree that she
did live. and sentimental people still visit
Avignon and vaucluse and seek traces OF
that famous love affair.
The laura problem seemed to have been
settled pretty satisfactorily in favor Of
LAURIE DE SADE. though the record % the
many children she bore in lawful wedlock
dsheartened all true lovers. Now comes
gallant Italian. however. Signor =.
FLANINI. and announces that he has dis
covered the only genuine LAURA and
adduces evidence which proves the fact
To his satisfaction. She was LACRE pg
SABRAS, who lived in the castle Of Cau-
mont ON the Durance. a lady who was
believed To bs PErRARCHs LAURA for a
hundred years after his death Signor

Took command OF the American armies

Looking back on their victories sublime
How righteous and grand was their mis-

From that now revered Washington tree
What courage their action demanded
By power from within they were stirred
Or they ne'er could have dared meet II
