of Gallant Captain Warwick.
Of Pershing' Staff, and His
Beautiful Wife Was Made
Whole Again by the Devotion
of Both to Their Country
In Its Hour of Need

TT has long been said that peace hath
its victories no less renowned than
! war" but the world strife has been
steadily proving, also, that war has its
victories no less renowned than peace.
Despite the Fact that Cupid has gone tri-
umuhantIy through many a barrage as
dangerous as battle, still no one expects to
see the little love gods wings shining in
the glare Of high explosives or trembling
with the bursting of giant shells.
But as the great war has upset all tradi-
tions. so it has overturned many Of those
which have grown in the years of com
narrative peace. Not for the frivolous,
light love is the strife and struggle Of this
world catastrophe. Yet in the flames OF
war many a romance which in other times
would have been frivolous, and many a
romance broken by frivolity, has been
welded into the greater love that, like
peace, passeth all understanding.
sPerhaps the most notable of these
welded hearts and shattered romances
made whole and stronger than ever is that
Of Captain Robert Warwick, one of Gen.
eral Pershing's own aides, and his beauti-
fuI wife, Josephine Whittell, from whom
he has been separated for the last two
wears. To friends throughout America
their estrangement has always been a
source Of regret and sorrow, and the news
Mat the cloud Of Misunderstanding that
hoyered over them has been dissipated at
last and finally, will be greeted by them
with joy indeed.
It came about through tiny but potent
thing. A little service flag broke the ice Of
a twice twelvemonths coldness. Small as
II was it was a badge OF loyalty to the
great cause, a symbol Of common in
terest. General Pershing's aide, recogniz-
ing it, made overtures for peace. Those
who witnessed the manoeuvres declared
that 1t was a charge, bold and dashing,
brilliant and successful.
Picture to yourself the Ritz-Carlton at
tea time. Couples have chosen the palm
room as the Quietest spot in the smart
hotel foH sentimental exchanges. Groups
of three or four or six have gathered about
the tables to discuss subjects grave or gay.
The grave themes predominate. Near the
corridor sit six Americans in khaki There
are stripes on their shoulders that signify
their rank in the American Army, They
The Washington times., 1918-10-13

bend their heads as they talk The tallest,
whose back is turned to the door, is doing
most of the talking, the others most Of the
listening.
Around the palm-screened room go whis-
pers. THAT is Bob Warwick. Handsome
Bob they called him in the days before
the war. He was an actor then. The
handsomest actor on the American stage,
many thought. He went to Plattsburg
and passed brilliant examination. Gen.
eral Pershing placed him on his staff. He
has come over on some secret mission"
Attention to the Oolong and orange
pekoe cups was distracted by the entrance
Of late group. A man and two women
came quietly in and were shown to a table
that had been reserved for them. There
was middle-aged pair with happily mar
ried" stamped upon them. The third was
a tall, fair woman handsomely gowned
and hated, and of sweetly serious express
sion.
Good heavens" exclaimed the kind of
persons who know everybody. There's
Mrs. Bob Warwick How awkward"
why awkward?' asked those who had
the courage to admit they didn't know
quite everybody.
Stupid! They have been separated for
ever so long. There was a row in Atlantic
City. They came TO town by different
trains and haven't spoken since. Neither
has made a move for a divorce. The at
titude of each might be classed as watch
full waiting"
with the same results as our national
watchfuI waiting l suppose. Something
happened"
81 suppose so. Bob went abroad at the
outbreak of the war. He's been there ever
since. I understand they never hear d.
rectly from each other, though friends
you know how friends fuss around and try
to fix things up at such times"
Good gracious! What luck! He's
changing his chair. They're bound to see
each other"
There was a noticeable exchange of
seats at the table. The tall officer re-
signed his chair that the one who sat
opposite might better see a map that was
spread before them. The tall man leaned
above the officer who replaced him, spoke
a few words, pointed to a position or two.
Then, declining the ofrer of the chair,

May 1 give you something to wear beside

She nodded, tried to smile. From his
collar he detached tSs small crossed guns
worn by American soldiers. She received
the little emblem quietly and pinned it
above the service nag.
MAY write you before 1 sail? 1t may
be any momentT'
She nodded again. But the eyes she
raised for a moment to his swan With
tears.
~If return he began as he escort
: ed her to her friends automobile.
She had intended to be. very cold, to. be
a veritable Lady Disdain. Why do our
hearts turn traitors to our purposes? To
her own surprise she heard her voice,

At the door of the Ritz the pair stood.

outgoing stream Of humanity. "Your ad-
dress, please? 1 will write you tonight,
Josephine" he whispered. Then he lifted
her into the car, raised his cap and stood

lost in the avenues before-dinner traffic.
The letter came. Its contents must have
been very heartening, for members OF the
Iight-hearted "Gloriana" company said
that Josephine Whittell never looked so
lovely, never played so well, as on the
opening night at Atlantic City.

wings.
come into my room and see the how-
ers and-things," she said. They crowded
in and inspected the flowers. A tree-like
bunch Of them set in the corner bore
card, Love, Bob.P A cablegram pinned
to the frame OF the bulb-framed mirror
above her dressing table was succinct but
1nmistakeable: Success. Love. Bob"
Every night Mrs. Warwick pins the ser
vice flag and the tiny cross guns on her
pillow and kisses them good night. Some
times q tear falls upon them. Women are
a strange sex. They laugh when they are
miserable and weep when they are happy.
Friends In the confidence of both say lit
is the tenderest romance Of the war. They
really always loved each other. The war
has brushed away all misunderstandings.
Uncle Sam has reconciled them.

conscious of the presence Of any save"the
group of khaki-clad men at the table. He
regarded with a frown Of concentration
the maps on the table and answered vol
ley of questions from his companions.
What caused the trouble between
them?" asked one who did not know
everybody.
Girls"
'Humph! The old story. Mans insta-
bility makes countless wives mourn"
Not quite Handsome Bob never pur-
sued the girls. They always pursued him."
"Tush!"
Its so. II you don't know it read your
Bernard Shaw. Particularly Man and
Superman.' Warwick is known as the hand
soonest actor on the stage. Has been ever
since he left California to become an
actor. His vogue began about the time he
supported Virginia Harmed in Anna
Kerenina.'
From that time the romantic woman
swarmed about him as bees about flower
plot. It's been that way with matinee
idols since the first stage, and will be to
the last. It's all punk about women liking
ugly men. The handsomer a man is the
more the women flock about him. And a
man can't be rude, you know"
Hush! Look!"
1t had happened. The tall, fair woman
in the exquisite blue chiffon gown and the
blue silver trimmed hat, had lifted her
eyes from her tea and muffins to look
about the room. Her glance traVersed it
with cool indifference and manifest de-
tachment until it reached the group Of
officers. There it stopped. A faint pink
stole into her cheek 1t spread from cheek
to brow and stained the whiteness Of her
neck, losing itself among the laces Of her
shoulders. She set down her cup with
hand that trembled slightly and made a
woman's supreme effort at self control.
But those who witnessed what followed
swear that there Is a true science called
telepathy In the swift instant that her
startled eyes rested upon his tanned fea-
lures Captain Robert Warwick, U. s. A,

head, that had been bowed over the map,
lifted as that Of q stag, startled by
strange step in his dim forest home. Her
eye-lids huttered as she tried to drop them

held her glance as In a wise. He would

Mrs. Warwick flushed again painfully
for she had thought her formal frigid re-
turning bow would suffice. But she reck-
oned upon the actors vanity. Whereas
she had to cope with a warriors new de-
cision
