They simply can't get the idea that
our party system is so rigid as to

But about the Pages in London. The
other day there was a Characteristic
performance at the American EN-
bassy; a great exhibition and sale Of
Belgian laces. 1t was held at the
embassy. and society and her hus-
band all turned out for It Queen
Mary looked in on the show, and the
American colony. from duchess
daughters of American baronial fam
lies down to the commonalty, turned
out for the occasion. You know, that
when the war started about 5000 girls
and women who had depended on
their earnings from making the won
derful Belgian laces were In danger
OF destitution. It was conceived to
be best that their industry should be
kept alive. so thread. other materials
and provisions were furnished to them
to continue the work in their own
country so far as possible. For the
greater part they were paid for their
work in foods and elothings, which
they needed far more than in money.
The contributions through the Amer
lean Commission for Relief in Bel
gium to thus keeping industry alive
in the afflicted country have been of
the greatest value. Arrangements
were made by which the German au-
thorities allowed the laces to be ex-
ported to secure funds for the relief
work. More than 100000 worth OF
lace has been sent to England for
sale under these conditions, and the
patronage of the exhibition at the
embassy was generous and large.
Oddly enough, the lace industry has
enjoyed quite a remarkable pros
perity, even an increase, in war times.
Great Belgian artists, and some
French and English. have contributed
much by providing notable new pat
terms for the lacemakers, SO that IL Is
now possible to buy dainties Of abso-
lutely new and unprecedented designs.
Some Of the samples that have been
brought to America by buyers abroad
are wonders; they make a woman's
mouth fairly water.
Ambassador and Mrs. Page are al
ways finding time to give countenance
and encouragement to such good
works. How Mr.. Page manages it, with
all the calls on his time, Is beyond
understanding, He is said to show
the strain of It all; his face is lined
and he looks much older than three
years ago. But he Is devoted to his
work, and in England they regard him
as one Of the real friends who has
been as much a friend. in neutrality
and also in belligerency, as he pos
sIbly could be.
