The Flight of Heloise With Abelard.

entered into the constitution OF all the
monasteries of the time.
She was famed for her erudition and
her wisdom during her era. But 1t Is
by her letters To Abelard that she is
remembered. because those letters re
veal the heart of woman endowed
with the rare quality Of loving with
absolute abandon. unselfshness and
loyalty. and of conseCrating her lie
to the memory of that love.
Their Fame Rests on Love.
1t proves how much greater is
lover than "a philosopher, when we
realize what a renowned man was
Abelard i'm his day, yet how utterly he
is forgotten save as the lover of Hell
oise He was the first orator, the first
philosopher, the first poet, and one of
the first musicians of the twelfth CEN
tury
He was so broad and so brilliant and
so courageous in his ideas that he
brought "a revolution into the relig
ious world and antagonized the entire
tradition bound clergy. He was per-
secuted i'm consequence, but his name
grew in glory and his school of phil
osophy. the first to teach the liberty
of human thought, could not acommo-
date his vast audiences. and he was
obliged TO address them in the open
air.
II is no wonder that this man seemed
to Heloise, then seventeen years of
age, a veritable god or that she for
got the world in his love And so great
was that love, that it alone, Of all
Abelard's glory, is remembered to-day.
PHILOSOPHERS Change-religions alter
-Creeds die-the minds of men are
revolutioniZed on these subjects, but
love lives on, and passion endures-the
same yesterday, to-day. and forever in
the human heart. Only he who loves
is immortal.

After enduring criticisms of his policy
in silence for months, he was heard in
the chamber in his defense. His speech
probably will be remembered in Greece
for years. Devoid of oratorical tricks.

like, weighty, and cogent in argument
After reading it. one need not wonder
that Rhsttys, the opposition leader, was
left without a single supporter.
Trusted at home. successful abroad,
Venizelos now stands at the crisis of his
career
Venzelos has TO show in the moment
of mis- country's triumph that he can ex-
hibt the greatness of moderation More

against those of the diplomatists of the
Triple Allanoe-gentlemen who already
honor him with their cordial aversion.
Speaking Of the great powers, he called
them "those who. when they can agree
together. regulate as they please the af-
fairs of the small Perhaps it is lucky
for Greece that the powers seldom agree,
for Greece is still small. But her people,
scattered through many lands, number
nearly 10000. 900. Their numbers are
greater than their territory, and their
patriotism stronger than their numbers.
As long as Nenizelos has the support Of
this intelligent and vital race he will be

GOSSIP OF THE COURTS


There must be something of the en-
ergy of the great Hellenic race in the
Greeks of today, for they are still ca
pable Of doing almost anything they set
out to do A few years ago this inde
structibe people become convinced that
their governmental machine was a dis
grace TO their intelligence. Being
ashamed of their mistakes, in the nick
of time there appeared the very man
they needed.
Born in Cythera, forty-nine years ago,
of Cretan blood, the regenerator of
Greece, after studying at Athens, finish
ed his education in the Swiss city where
Gibbon wrote his great work on the fall
Of the Byzantine empire. Returning to
his native island. he began practicing
law. and ended by practicing the fine art
of insurrection. He was one of the in
surgent band in 1896. which was a tar
get for the guns of the warships of the
concert of Europe, then stationed in
Cretan waters. a chance shot fired by
British gunner might have prolonged the
existence Of the Turkish empire by
many years. but our hero, Nenizelos,
came through scathless, and knows now
that the diplomacy of the great powers
may be more dangerous than their ar
tillery fire.
When. later on. Creta was permitted
to manage her own affairs. he became
active in local politics and administra-
tion. After about ten years Venizelos
came into prominence by advocating
Cretan autonomy as an alternative to
union with Greece. which brought him
into sharp collision with Prince George,
the high commissioner From this con
troversy he emerged with his reputation
established for strength. capacity and
honesty The small Cretan lawyer at
tracted the attention of the military
party of reform at Athens. and, in 1909.
| he accepted an invitation to enter the
Boule Diet.
The odds seemed against him. The
country, still discredited by the
hasco of 1897. had been on the brink
Of revolution. The King had not yet
regained his popularity. Crown
Prince Constantine was regarded as
an obstacle TO reform. On the Cretan
question the Young Turks managed
to infiict a diplomatic humiliation on
Greece. The Greeks living under the
Ottoman flag we're harassed worse
than usual. The people we're dis
satisfied with politicians and foreign
policy alike. yet scarcely knew the
way TO better things. A succession
Of clever men had not been able to
give them better things. Greek par
liamentary life seemed doomed to be
unfruitful of practical good. The
little kingdom seemed suffering from

small a share of corporal substance.
There was. however, one redeeming
feature. The people, sincerely patrio-
tic, we're anxious for improvement.
