than q mile away, and It was
curious to see the jumps and
starts Of the people, and the quick
movement Of the hand to the ear
to dispel the buZZing. ! went into
the Madeleine about 10 o'clock,
but there were comparatively few
there for q Palm Sunday, and the
streets were somewhat empty.
For nervous folk it was irritating
and unnerving to hear the meas
ured crash; then to wait minute
after minute expecting the next,
which, after all, did not fail to
make one start
Jointly with the long-range bonn
bardment the enemy made some At
tacks by seroplane at night, one Of
them being very heavy. Perhaps
the most striking impression left
on my mind of the night attacks
was the sound Of the church bells
ringing in all directions as q sig
nal that the raid was over. My
house is situated in a place where
we can hear the bells Of many
churches. and above all the great
bell Of the Sacre Occur at Mont
martre, which pealed out deep and
strong, dominating all the others
My mind went back at once to the
Christmas bells Of my home, which
in days gone by, used to be heard
by US from three churches on the
hills surrounding our village, play
ing hymns Of joy at midnight on
Christmas Eve. The bells OF the
Paris churches we're not quite so
musical. but how much relief did
they convey We we're glad enough
to know that at last We could rest
peacefully.
During last week We were not
troubled much by the gun or guns
until Saturday last, when We re-
ceived eighteen shells, followed by
a few on Sunday and Monday.
They do not do much damage, and
most Of them seem p fall in open
places or only just knock on a bit
Of masonry. The really tragic she'll
was the one which struck the
church on Good Friday, and caused
the roof to fall in. That has
naturally reused some strong feel

a good countenance, 50 as not -
lower the courage Of those around
US. Many people have left Paris.
Just as in September, 1914, but this
time there are more contributing
causes. The city is very quiet and
calm, and I do not think much
danger Of q considerable German
advance Is apprehended. They
made q good try to break through
north Of Compiegne, but we have
confidence in our soldiers, and be-
lieve they will hold the Germans
in check
We are indeed very close to The
greatest times Of which history
viii leave record, and here in
Paris we seem to feel the beating
of the worlds heart For those
who think these are momentous
days which will leave their i'm
press on our beings. We are per-
haps too close today to realize the
vastness Of what is happening,
but If we live we shall have no
lack Of moving memories. This
has certainly been the most re-
markable and most tragic Of all
Eastertides for men and women of
our times, and we have felt more
than ever before what Easter
means in sacrifice and redemption
It has made many of US think
deeply, but what has been our
thought compared with that Of
the men who have laid down their
lives for a great national ideal. We
are still anxious about the future,
even though we may be confident
Of the final result, and we hope
that the coming weeks viii see
tho force Of the German arms less
ened to such an extent that never
again will they be able to terror
ize the world. We are all glad
to see that America is throwing
her weight into the fighting. Il
is a great encouragement for AL,
and will greatly help France and
England during this spring and
summer, when we have every rea-
son TO expect a tremendous Ger
man effort to arrive at a decision
on the battlefield.

Sensitive Women Are Pitiful, Indeed

H AM sensitive Perhaps It

She had said the fatal words.
without . suspicion Of how fatal
they Were-and are; for they ex-
press q mental attitude which Is
friendship-shattering, love-shatter-
Ing, happiness-shattering.
You could see the immediate ef-
feet Of her speech on the little
group, Of which she was one. It
was Is II a chilling wind had
passed over It The easy touch
and-go talk became forced and
constrained All chatting and gay
banter ceased
She had labeled herself, Fra
gle. Handle with care" You had
mentally to step lively every min
ute TO see that you didn't tread on
her toes The group broke up as
soon as possible. Life is too in
teresting and varied; the whirling
globe whirls too fast TO waste time
on those who glory In having their
feelings hurt.

She's evidently one Of those
tiresome, sensitive plants" I said.
They 90 about Victinizing the
good-natured- You always have to
hear Of some persons lack Of con-
sideration and the cruel and in
human treatment some one else has
accorded them, and how they have
been made i'll because somebody
else has said something else"
They put on such airs about It,
too" she said. They regard them
selves as Of finer clay than the
coarse and crude beings with
whom they are forced TO associate.
But IT does seem rather small to
spend ones time mourning over
trivial sights and neglects. Why
should one torment himself today
because Of. the speech or action Of
some one who ten years from now
may utterly have passed from his
life"
II is certainly q dangerus indul-
gence. We get what We are look
ing for. or rather what we fear.
If you have a hurt finger you will
probably knock it against some
thing especially hard about every
three minutes. II you are looking
out for wounding words you will
60 out and gather them by the
bushel. II you believe in your
heart that people have the power
and the wish to hurt you you will
surely be a mark for the barbed
arrows Of speech and the serpent
tongue.
But you do not have to be that
sort Of a mark. II you are sensi-
TIVE to pain you are equally sensi-
tive to joy. Sensitiveness does be-
speak fineness Of grain. So why

things are lovely"
The Washington times., 1918-06-08

We all had q great start on the
18th Of March when the grenade
plant at La Courneuve blew up at
1:45 p. m, Just as we were on our
way back to the Office. The roar
Of the explosion was tremendous;
in every direction windows were
broken and glass streamed down;
the displacement Of the air was 50
great that several miles away one
was deafened for q few minutes.
Il seemed to all as though the ex-
plosion had taken place close by,
and my own impression was that a
bomb had fallen within a few
hundred yards Of me. Everybody
rushed for shelter, thinking that
the Germans were making q day
light raid. Up into the air float
ed a huge, milky cloud Of a ire
mendous height, and that was all
that one could see from the streets,
that being visible enough in the
blue sky which we had that day.
As soon as ! reached the office ]
went up on TO the terrace Of our
building, from which point, as
you know, we dominate all Paris,
and there in the north we could see
a black pail Of smoke, marking the
place Of the explosion.
Following close upon some raids,
that made people a little more
nervous, and many left the city
for the country. But Saturday,
March %, had in reserve for rs
something which none Of US ex-
pected and which certainly did add
to the terror Of living in Paris
for some, especially during the
first three days. Just about z
a. m. we began to hear some
loud explosions, which continued
through the morning at intervals
of about twenty minutes. We
did not pay much heed at first,
thinking the authorities were sim
ply exploding the grenades which
had been gathred up at La Cour-
neuve, but toward 9 o'clock peo-
pie began to look up into the sky
with a start, the noise being 50
great and the report so sharp. A
few minutes later the wild, lugu-
brious vail Of the sirens, PRO-
claiming danger, rose and fen in
the air, and then people began to
scuttle for doorways and cellars,
thinking aeroplanes were about,
although nothing could be heard
above. Some people stayed in
shelter for hours that day, and
the hundreds of thousands Of
working hours lost would run into
a pretty figure. Most of our peo-
pie had already arrived at the Of
fee, so that we kept on as usual,
although ! am afraid all minds
were not absolutely concentrated
on the work, which is nothing to
be wondered at.
Toward afternoon the report got
round that the Germans were
using a long-range gun, and on
Sunday the first hypothesis be-
gan to appear in the papers. do
not think / shall soon forget that
Palm Sunday, when every few
minutes during the whole Of the
morning and for a few hours Of
the afternoon. we could hear the
