happy triangle was therefore possible.
OF course, a divorce was necessary be-
cause the poets sensuous side must be ar
ranged for by the customary forms of mat
rimony. Georgette would facilitate the di-
vorce and the installation of the child
Renee as the wife OF his bosom But Geor-
gette would still remain the friend, COM
panion, inspiration of his genius-the bride
Of his intellect
And the triangle has proved practical
and workable. The marriage of the poet
and the child bride took place last Spring.
The honeymoon over, Georgette was in
Vited to visit Maeterlinck's home.
Georgette and Renee understood each
other perfectly-eVerything ran smoothly,
sWeetly, happily; no jealousy, no doubts,
no tnsincerity. Renee was the wife; thar
vas established, understood, settled.
Georgette did not invade the rights of the
new wife-and the new wife realized that
Georgette supplied an intellectual compan.
ionship which the child bride could not
hope to offer.
NSOl5CLlS SLlll SELVES dS the inspiration
OF his plays, which were first made com.
mercially successful through her talents
and which need her expert assistance. She
may even play in them whenever a role
requires her personality, or she will train
the girl wife for the foremost role when
1t is best suited for her.
Georgette will be of invaluable help in
managing the ancient Abbey Of st. Wan
drille, which b Maeterlinck's faVorite resi-
dence. He spent large part Of his for
tune In reconstructing this ancient ruin
and converting 1t into a luxurious dwell

uresqueness. Although Georgette has
home Of her own near Paris she will keep
an eye on the estate, only Georgette under
stands the care required by this wonder
Iul place, the taste that must be exercised
In caring for its furniture and decoration.
In forming part OF this unusual, happy
triangle, Madame Georgette Maeterlinck
mas been true to a philosophy which she
mas followed throughout her married life.
She has explained her philosophy fully
to friend. She married Maeterlinck be-
cause he was the one man for her, the
greatest genius in the world. Her only
ambition in life was to make that great
man happy, and to that end she would be
true, no matter what conceivable sacri.
hces must be made
Does it make man happy to bind him
to wife who no longer attracts him? No!
Therefore the wife must free him. Does 1t
make him happy to keep him from the girl
he loves? No! Therefore the wife must
help him to marry the girl he loves.
Every man contains two persons, the
The Washington times., 1919-12-07

intellectual and the physical, says Madame
Georgette Maeterlinck. The physical man
is necessarily attracted to younger and
fresher woman. The intellectual man
may be as devoted to the intellectual side
of his old companion as in other days; nay,
even more so, but the physical man yearns
for younger companion.
"Maeterlinck is intellectually true to
me" says Georgette, "but physically he is
devoted to Renee"
A woman necessarily loses much of her
charm with years. The man, however old,
experiences the same attraction toward
youth and beauty as in earlier years. This
is not his fault, but simply one of the in.
exorable laws of nature. Therefore, ac-
cording to Madame Georgette, it is low
ing wife's duty to set her husband free to
DO as he pleases, and to help him to find
happiness.
She has been true to the same philoso-
phy throughout nfe-frst in employing her
talents solely to increase his fame, then
in helping him to marry the girl who had
won his affections, and, finally, in helping
sthem to be happy after they were married.
Most surprising of(all in a wife, perhaps,
was Madame Georgette's conduct in assist
ing her husband to meet Renee Dahon and
in cultivating their friendship after they
had met
Originally Maeterlinck met Renee Dahon
when she appeared as a child actress in
the role of Tyltyl in his "Bluebird" at a
Madame Georgette Maeterlinck like most
of the other performers in his plays
Maeterlinck did not like the young girl
as an actress and he said so to his wife.
The cast Is very good, with but one
exception. You must get another Tyltyl
She is too young, too inexperienced. She
is impossible he said.
But my dear, l assure you she has
talent l sought long time for the right
person for Tyltyl. Her childish awkward
ness, her shyness are necessary to convey
any semblance of Tyltyl," replied his wife
Maeterlinck was inclined to insist, but
his wife assured him that she could do
wonders with Tyltyl. She then took the
young girl in hand and coached her alone
Tor hours until she was able to render the
role to Georgette's satisfaction.
The author did not see the child actress
again until the first performance of THE
Blue Bird" which then began its wonder
full run of four hundred nights, the great
est theatrical success he had ever known.
He was charmed with Tyltyl He could
hardly believe she was the same person
he had seen at the rehearsal. He asked
his wife to present him to the young girl
which she gladly did.
Your performance was delightful" said
Maeterlinck, looking with admiration at
the straight, slight figure, the dark eyes,

V tinguished Belgian poet novelist
playwright, philosopher, is on his
way to America to lecture. But will this
nlustrious interpreter of life, love and
human emotion give US lecture on his
own life, love and passionate emotions?
The eternal triangle" has been the end
less theme Of the novelist and the drama
tist from earliest times-a man and two
women or a woman and two men. But
in the three-cornered game Of love always
enc OF the three hearts is broken. There
is happiness for two Of the three, but the
third member Of the triangle is left to de-
spair, suicide or sometimes murder.
But Maeterlinck has performed mod
ern miracle; he has accomplished the i'm
possible; he has made for himself a
happy triangle-MaeterIinek happy di-
vorced wife, Georgette; Maeterlineks
happy new child wife, Renee, and Maeter-
linck himself, happy in the love which both
women hold for him.
1t is an extraordinary situation. VIII the
Belgian philosopher devote at least one of
his American lectures to tell us how he
has worked out in real life happy solu-
ton Of the supposedly hopeless problem Of
the eternal triangle?"
Il was a little less than a year ago that
Maeterlinek's wife, the well-known actress
and authoress, Georgette Leblanc, said:
"You love little Renee-you shall have
her!"
Georgette arranged to be divorced and
promptly Maeterlinck married little Renee
Dahon-nineteen years old! There was
no I'll feeling, not bit OF jealousy and all
are entirely satisfied and thoroughly
happy. The success of this happy triangle
Is largely due to the broad-minded phil
osophy OF Georgette, the divorced wife,
who Is a remarkable woman.
Nobody, she says, Of intelligence cries
out against death, which Is inevitable. No
body with philosophical mind fights the
approach Of old age. And no woman of
brains fails TO realize that her physical
charms fade with the fight Of years, and
that she must not hope to compete with
the fresh bloom Of youth.
Georgette Leblanc had appealed in full
measure TO both the sensuous and the in
tellectual side Of Maeterlinck. Their mar
ried life had been, still was, very happy
But the bloom of youth had passed from
the cheeks Of Georgette, her figure had be-
come matronly. She observed the passion
: ate interest her husband was taking In the
child, Renee
Very well, Maeterlinck should have
Renee. But the bodily charm of the child
would satisfy only one side of Maeterlinck,

preting SO we'll the child of my brain"
AS an outcome of this meeting the girl
actress, with the consent of her parents,
paid long visit to M. and Nine. Maeter-
linck at their ruined abbey. 1t was the
beginning of an intimacy that rapidly
progressed.
Madame Maeterlinck, splendid as bird
of paradise, gracefully sinuous, glided
through the romantic medieval dwelling
He looked past her with an authors alb
straction. But when Mile. Dahon was in
sight his eyes followed her girlish form.
At last Madame Maeterlinck. detected
the look in her husbands eyes which
woman of her experience was well able to
interpret He was in love with Renee
Dahon.
She did not stand in his way for an in
stant. She recognized every aspect of the
situation in a fash. She knew that she
was aging, that the feeling which he had
once had for her would never return. To
oppose the qualification of his present pas
sion would be to endanger the spiritual
and intellectual companionship which she
had always cherished and hoped to pre-
serve.
Georgette Leblanc hurried away to
Paris and asbtained a divorce with the
least possible delay and publicity. Mae
terlinck, then ffty-eight years old, was
married to Renee Dahon in the Spring.
This is the climax Of life Of rare devo-
ton on Georgette Leblanc's part 1t is
eighteen years ago that she married Mae
terlinck. She was then a woman Of ma
ture years. who had made a reputation as
a very original actress and operate singer.
She has admitted that she wooed the
author herself and that she first fell in
love with his books.

, the mind behind the book" she said 81

Is mine. He is my husband. He is my
love- shall meet him. l shall love him.
He shall love me-"
There was a meeting and a rapid court
ship, followed by a marriage. Maeter-
linck, then esteemed as an author of tai
ent, a poet and a man of profound philo-
sophie ideas, had not won the wealth and
fame which have since come to him
