Let us not mistake this for death.
This pair of true lovers are gone
from among us, and what we call
their souls abide we know not where;
but the light of such love illumines
and cleanses like sunshine the dark
est deeps of the human heart
throughout the world, and the exam
pie will stay as "A living and uplift-
ing force in man forever.
The days of revelation are never
ended.
In everyday self-seeking we become
narrow and pessimistic and rail
against humanity as base and alb
sorbed in greed and other selhshness.
Brotherly love turns cold, and sus-
picion strangles sympathy in our
souls. Glass arrays itself against
class, and man turns against man
and wife against husband.
The divorce records tell us that
love is now held lightly, and that it
holds it loosely These records lie
In this lovers kiss on the deck of
a sinking ship, as truly as in the
thunders of Sinai. the Almighty
speaks His eternal truths to His peo-
pie.
The world is recovering from the
terror of the disaster to learn that
love does still abide, indeed; that it
rises above life, and that 1t rises
above death.
Men have turned in their helpless
ness to one another, and forgetting
greed and hates and jealousies, clasp
hands across the continents and
across the seas in sympathy and love.
And, rising above it all, as the
white dove arose out OF the ark, is
this love between man and wife,
leading the human family once more
to the one mount of the world that
is not submerged in selfishness.
In dying as she did, Mrs. lsador
Straus became immortal among men
and women for all time to come. She
Will live in poetry, picture and IN
spired prose as long as literature
shall last, and her influence will be
strong and sweet as long as the hu-
man heart throbs.
1t seems as if at this lovers kiss
in the embrace of death the gate of
heaven must have opened so wide to
receive her sweet spirit that flood
of incense escaped to earth to perfume
human life.-Cleveland (0.) Press.

Mrs. Edward B. McLean's $4,000 Fete

A FUSILLADE Of rapidly exploding

transformation of a miniature battle
field set with platoons Of manikin sol
diers into "a field OF carnage" with
fully equipped corps of Red Cross
nurses rushing to do service among the
wounded" was the crowning feature
in a series OF surprises which made
the $4,000 fete Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Beale Mclean gave the other night
one of the most astonishing and spec
,tacular affairs ever given in Washing
ton. Small fortresses dotted the gar
dens, and cavalry and cannon added
to the realism of the martial picture.
Red Cross ambulances and Red
Cross nurses arranged on wires
charged with electricity whirled rap
idly to the scenes Of the several ex-
plOsions, and within twenty minutes
after the firing Of the first mine the
Italian gardens set with fifty bat.
talions of soldiers in battle array look
ed like a Red Cross hospital camp in
the full tide Of a bloody fray.
The occasion marked the climax Of
a weeks entertaining planned In hon
or of the delegates to the interna-
tional Red Cross conference.
Eight hundred guests, including not
ables from every country In the civil
lized world, attended the reception,
which was marked by the elegance Of
