In further explanation he said that the
money he had sent to Europe had all been
used for the relief and maintenance of
wounded artists, including among them
British, Russian, French Rumanian and
Italian prisoners, as well as countrymen
Of his own nation.
To this DR.. Hills retorted
"Kreisler states that he has been sending
his money home to support musicians,
wounded. Of course, in fighting against Eng
land and France and Italy. He thinks that
the American people lack so little logic and
sound sense as to be unable to perceive that

necessity of supporting these enemies OF

have sent any money TO Austria because Tor
eight months there have been no mails. but
there was Red Cross work here in the
United States
DR.. Hills also urged some legal action

attempt to further Kreisler's appearance
in concert in future However, the SYM
pathy of the public, and of practically the
entire press, remained with Mr.. krelsier'
"The New York Evening Post declared;
when the American public looks back
upon this war year after the war fever mas

satisfaction. reason for profound shame and
regret in the treatment of so great an artist

that he should be compelled to stop playing

rice from Paris:
81 am at last quite settled at home, my little
love. I have three nice little rooms, with a
balcony overlooking the river and command
ing a magnificent view. When you come to
see me you will amusc yourself by looking at
the troops marching through the streets and
watching the fremen on duty. There is a
guardhouse opposite. Every time gendarme
comes up those poor hremen are obliged to
stand 10 their rifles and shoulder arms. As
this is Of frequent occurrence, they have not
minute's rest in the course Of the day, and
reoplc who pass by make fun Of them. You
will also see the towers of Notre Dame; they
are swarmed with swallows. All over the
walls there are stone figures of devils, in all
sorts of attitudes, and birds hide themselves
in their jaws and build nests in them.

A Deep, Quiet Love of Nature
n And Animals


But this expression of terrible spiritual
anguish must not be carried as the
parting impression Of woman TO whom
joyousness and courage and supreme faith
in her own ideals were so thrillingly m.
tive. All through the fabric Of her
tempestuous and fervent and fluent life
runs a deep love Of the simple things.
George Sand" wrote Matthew Arnola,
"is one of the few French writers who
keep us closely and truly intimate with
rural nature. She gives Us the Wild
flowers by their actual names-snowdropb
primrose, columbine, iris, scabius. No
where has she touched her native Berry
and its little known landscape, its canS
pagnes igrorses, with a lovelier charn
than in Valentine"
She wanders alone into the fields Of her
own Berry, and one finds her saying:
"My walk was by the border Of fed

"Yours in heart,

With so great mass of material at
hand it is not possible, of course, more
than TO suggest here and there frag-
ment of this rich and varied self-revela-
ton.
In charming little volume of MIXED
Essays by Matthew Arnold the literary
work of Nine Sand is highly extolled.
Matthew Arnold, of course, was much
,loser to the era in which the Sand books
were produced. In his youth he knew
George Sand, and was always an ardent
admirer of hers. "How the sentences
from George Sands works Of that Oater)
period" he writes, "still linger in our
memory and haunt the ear with their
cadencesl Grandiose and moving, they
come, those cadences, like the signing of
the wind through the forest, like the
breaking of the waves on the seashore."
ssXY That | Wanted Was to Live
w a Human Life"
And she could be desperately honest,
along with this better eloquence SO much
admired by Arnold.
Speaking in her own person, in the
Lettres dun Voyageur, George Sand cries:
"Ah, no, I was not born to be poet, was
born TO love. IL is the misfortune Of my
destiny it is the enmity of others, which
have made me wanderer and an artist.
What I wanted was to live human life;
had heart; it has been torn violently from
my breast All that has been left me is a
head. a head full of noise and pain, Of hor-
| rlble memories. Of images Of woe. OF scenes
of outrage And because inwriting stories to
earn my bread could not help remembering
ny sorrows. because I had the audacity TO
say that in married life there were TO be
| found miserable beings, by reason OF the
weakness which Is enjoined upon the woman,
! by reason of the brutality which is per-
mitted to the man, by reason Of the turpi-
tudes which society covers and protects with
/ a VEIL am pronounced immoral, l am
treated as if we're the enemy Of the human
race"
And she had her terrible moments like
wise of contemplating the reproach of her
own children, who, witnesses of her suf-
fering, her uncertainty, her struggles, her
evil report, may come TO doubt her." For
example, she once wrote:
my poor children. my own flesh and blood,
will perhaps turn upon me and say: You
are leading US wrong, you mean to ruin us
as well as yourself. Are you not unhappy,
reprobsted. evil spoken off What have you
gained by these unequal struggles. by these
much trumptod due.s Of youIs with custom
and belief? Let US do as others do; let us
get what is to be got out Of this easy and
tolerant world
