SECRET OF THE LOVE BIRD.
It May Bs Discovered In the Milk of
 Human Kindness.

1t May Bs Discovered In the Milk of
 Human Kindness.
 Everything else dwindles into insig. nificance when the love bird appears. Affection, devotion. tenderness and love burst gladly forth at her magic touch. :
 The road to happiness is attained through the generous distribution of the milk of human kindness.
 Success, achievement, wealth, prom thence, are only worth while when shared by your friends. No matter how large you can spell success" 1t gives you little satisfaction if your ac. complishment is not sincerely enjoyed by many. When surrounded by friends and loved ones, if you are fortunate in the acquisition of generous disposi. tion and charming personality, what a joy it is to be able to give them cheer. comfort, pleasure and satisfaction!
 Who does not feel better for the God bless you" from an old lady to whom you have shown some trifling kindly attention? Who is not thrilled by the joyous barking of his dog upon returning home?
 Fortunate are those who feel the arms of children around their necks. hear the baby's laugh and see the won derful mites toddling toward them. happy and unafraid.
 All these joys sink into insignifcance when the one and only one looks into your eyes, tender, true, steadfast Words need not be spoken; nothing else matters. Then, and not until then. will you know the excess of happiness the full realization of love, and then is the time to unite yourself stead fastly to fidelity. magnanimous gen erosity and open heartedness to all.

How She Explained
Her Elopement.

At about this time Clara Ward, now Madame
Rigo, gave a very frank interview to an E lro-
pean correspondent for this newspaper Here
are some of her statements:
''The Prince was a gentleman. He was always
kind courteous, always calm.

THE unhappy and notorious Princess de
Chimav-born Clara Ward of Detroit,
Michigan. has again left America after
a brief and very disappointing visit. The Prin-
cess, broken in health both her beauty and her
fortune gone, returned TO seek forgiveness from
her mother, who was dying
The prodigal daughter had returned, but alas,
too late. In place of feasts and rich raiment she
was met with the warning she must not appear
before her mother, unless she wished to kill her.
Alone, and paying this last penalty of her will

ing in New York, praying for her mothers con-
dition to improve so that she might at least
win one word with her She was told, it is said,
that her presence in America must not be made
known for fear of its coming to her mothers
ears and of its probable effect. The Princess
obeyed But, Unexpectedly soon her mother
died. She died without having known that
the daughter who had caused her so much I'M
happiness was within speaking distance!
And after she had died it was found that she

indeed go to the Princesss two children by the
Prince de Chimay, but this must be added sor
not allowed to see her children. There can be
no doubt that while the once-beautiful Clara
Ward crept back to America to win, If possible
her mothers forgiveness, that there
shrewd reason for this outside of her own
proper sentiments. There is little doubt she
felt that if she could once show herself again
in her mothers life she would receive the bulk
of her fortune. In this she was disappointed.
And So as nothing was TO be gained by
naming in America she sailed away quietly for
France, it is said, a couple of weeks ago, I'M
known, still poOr-and with the problem of how
to keep body and soul together for the remain

Such is the last punishment 90 the once-beau-
tiful Princess de Chimay, who had the alteration

and fortune large enough to have kept her IN

up all the thinsg in life worth while for life
of wantOnness.
mothers love never dies-aI the centuries
have proved that. But this dying mother had
made her will in the English home TO which her
second husband had taken her. and 1t had done
for Clara Ward all that she deemed to merit
"a pttance Of $1,000.
Many an American girl would find such
legacy gOdsend, solving the knottiest problems
affecting her future. To Clara Ward who has
squandered scores of thousands on pleasures of
the hour. that pittance can only represent the

Her Last
Marriage and Divorce.

RigO divorced her-having brought another
American woman under the spell of his violin
and his passionate, dark eyes. She married
Ricciardi Their delight in each other did not
long survive. In 1911 the statement was cabed
TO this country that Nine. Ricciardi was about TO
sue for divorce from her Italian third husband.

has been reported dying in poverty as a victim
of disease which had robbed her of all her

Little has been heard about her in the last

Her Desire to
Marry a Murderer"

Twenty years ago her position was truly
envable. No American girl had married into
more exalted social position, for Prince Chimay
and Caraman was closely connected with the
royal family OF Belgium and was an unusually
worthy member of his class. She enjoyed from
the estate of her father, the multi-millionaire
Michigan lumber man. an income of $4,000 a
year. Besides, the purses of her mother and
millionaire uncle were open TO her almost with
out limit Her beauty was dazzling, and pro-
claimed all over Europe. She had presented TO
the Prince, her husband, two charming children.
In spite OF all these blessings, she was restless
and discontented. 1t is told of Clara Ward that,
as glrl OF seventeen in fashionable London
school, she wrote in her diary: THE humdrum
life Is not for me. / must feel. must have

AT this stage of her career a brilliant French

THE only type of Netzscne's ideal is TO be
found in this little bourgeois American heiress.
She is woman who knows how TO draw all the
force and beauty from life, and who treats with
perfect disdain all the ancestral prejudices that
are called habit, tradition, science, religion
