"The American Angel" is what the
Parisians are calling Mrs. Myron T.
Herrick, wife of the retiring American
ambassador to France. Mrs. Herrick
has devoted her entire time to relief
and Red Cross work, turning over the
embassy for the sick and wounded.
During the near-panic among the
American refugees, Mrs. Herrick did
much to assure and calm them. Al
though her husband and friends want
ed her to return to America, she re-
fused to abandon the wide field of use,
fulness which she saw in France.

BE not too frank, if you would reach
"A womans heart;' be not too kind
Nor too unkind, but keep your speech
And all your manners uninclined.
Assert but briefly self-control;
Then watch her come to you, intent
To give direction to your soul
And make indifference different.
