ia Marseillaise" brought the lovers
Of France 10 their feet in a shouting
throng yesterday afternoon at the Al
lied Bazaar in The Grand Central Pal
ace. Up in the galleries a woman's
voice sounded the give Ia France
and men all over the hall took II up,
throwing their hats into the air, until
any one who had doubted the heart Of
France in these times would Save felt
very small indeed.
It was a woman in the tri-coior of
the Revolution who inspired the demon
stration. She was Nine. Povla Frisch,
the soprano, whose last public appear
ance was on the streets OF Paris last
December, when she stirred the crowds
to the greatest enthusiasm that has
been seen since the war began. After
the song people clamored for more and
more, until the singer was almost ex-
hausted. After FIVE encores she was
surrounded by the throng, still Shrek
ing give La France!" One young
man turned from the singer with tears
running down his cheeks.
Throng Halls Jusserand.
~ just got word to-day-my broth
err he gulped. Your singing was
too much for me-"
In the evening the same enthusiasm
was shown for Ambassador Jusserand
who made a triumphal progress through
the bazaar. A group of children, in
the colors of France, stood at the head
Of the stairs TO greet him as he en-
tered, and little Miss Madeline Della
MARIE presented Nine. Jusserand with
great bunch of orchids
There was only one quiet momtnt in
the whole fervid procession. That was
when the ambassador, turning a corner,
found himself opposite the portrait Of
Lord Kitchener, draped in black, over
the British War Relief booth. W..
Jusserand stopped and his smile faded.
He said nothing, however, and the pro-
cession passed by with lowered heads.
ave mourn in our hearts, but a ba-
zaar is no place for tears" said Mrs.
Albert Tate, in charge of the booth.
! That seemed 20 be the feeling through
! out the bazaar. The leaders of the
Allied cause were depressed by the
tragedy of England. but it only made
them redouble their efforts to earn
money to help kitchener's men.
