avenge her honor, that the mighty hat

all its resultant ruin was the final eff

The Awakened Love.
Now she is ready TO go with him, to
accept his lot and strive for new
beginning. Now she is drawn to the
fallen hero by an awakened love that
can mean only happiness 10 both. She
refuses the suggestion of her parents to
ask for a special dispensation for di-
vorce; she closes her eyes and her ears
to the clamor of ruined friends, and
1 takes her place by her husbands side,
as his helpmate. And when Maurice
Brachard finds that he has at last won
the love of his wife, when he sees that
she has come TO him though he has lost
all, his big heart cries out: L m ruined
-Marie-Tm ruined! I've lost every
thing, And I'm the richest man in
Paris tonight! The richest man in the
world"
Who can weigh the power of love at
such a time, Who can judge the power
of love at such an hour, Eighty mil

Humanity Held to the Mirror.
Bernstein has said: The artist in
me revolts at the simple suggestion OF
play that demonstrates some super1Iu-
Gus truth / am quite unequal TO put
upon the scene anything else than DIT
of humanity, troubled, trembling
hleedin|I see 1t that way. 1t is not
NV fault" Like many authors he writes
better than he knows There is no such
a thing as a "superfluous truth" The
world needs the iterating and the reit-
Grating time without end, OF those SIM
ple truths that make up the great forces
Of life AS we lose sight of them and
forget them, our civilization loses lts
value. as we emphasize them and real
ize them our home life and national life
! improves
Emphasizes SuperfluouE Truths.
And in this play Bernstein has uncon-
sciously emphasized one of these su-
nerfluous truths" 1t is the power OF
love in this world: it is the recognition
Of fact evident at all times, but over
looked bv many because 1t is so COM
mon. TT is the mothers love that
watches tenderly over the sick child and
knows no WEAKNESS until the crisis Is
mast. If is the mothers love that st1nts
here and saves there that her boy might
be better prepared for the battle OF life
and her girl appear as Wen dressed as
others 1t is a fathers love that KNOWS
no end of toll. turning night into day
in order to give his offspring a better
start in life than he received; 1t is
fathers love that urges him on to exert
his best efforts to supply competency
for his dear ones; and it is childs love
that when the hand of time has whlten-
ed the head Of the parents and wrlnkIed
their faces, when strength has eooed
away and the power to labor is no long
or at hand, then is it the child's love
that places the protecting arms OF
Younger manhood under the totterlne
forms and gives them the rest ana
peace they so truly need Everywhere
we turn love rules and reigns. IL
cannot be purchased with gold, IT can
not be acquired with wealth 1t rules
because it controls the destinies or men
and women and sways them hither and
thither. In the darkest gloom, when all
is lost, and even life seems not worth
the living we often cry out; I've losl
everything and I'm the richest man IN
Paris tonight, The richest man In the
worIdr" for at that time the power OF
love is upon US and we gratefully &C
cept its dictates.
