NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York, Dec. 3.-At the end OF
the first hour trading In coffee was
quiet with values close to initial figures
Most Of the early selling was attributed
to outside sources which have recently
been rather liberal buyers, but the
sharp break in exchange and renewal
of unsettled conditions in Brazil caused
them to show a disposition to let 20
their holdings. Traders in this were
buyers at the decline.
There was a sharp break just before
midday on rumors of break in Santos
futures, the rumors being soon fol-
lowed by an official cable reporting
decline of $50 to 625 reis, which in
dicated liquidation was still going on
there.
In the local market, trade interests
and cotton houses sold freely on the
break in Santos.

Or course, 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 d.
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.
Ihe honeymoon over, Georgette was In.
vited to visit Maeterinck's home.
Georgette and Renee understood each
other notwithstanding ran smoothly
sWeetly, happily; no jealousy, no doubts
no lnslncerity. Renee was the wife: that
was established, understood. settled
Georgette did not invade the rights OF the
new wffe-and the new wife realized that
Georgette supplied an intellectual compan
ionship which the child bride could no;
hope to offer.
Georgette still serves as the inspiration
OF his plays, which were first made com
'SISioiiS cuCCtSSlul 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

In forming part OF this unusual happy
triangle, Madame Georgette Maeterlnck
has been true to a philosophy which she
has 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-
fees must be made
Does 1t 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.

fresher woman. The Intellectual man
may be as devoted to the intellectual side
or 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.

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
rehearsal Sho had been engaged by
Madame Georgette Maeterlinck like most
of the other performers in his plays
Maeterinck 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. | assure you she has

person for Tyltyl. Her childish awkward
ness, her shyness are necessary to convey
any semblance OF Tyltyl," replied his wife.
Maeterinck was inclined to insist. but
his wife assured him that she could do
wonders with Tyltyl She then took the
young girl in Land and coached her alone
FOR 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 "rhe

He was charmed with Tyltyl. He could
hardly believe she was the same person

his wife to present him to the young girl
which she gladly did
your performance was delightful" said

Maeterlincks 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 a bit Of jealousy and all
are entirely satisfied and thoroughly

IS largely due to the broad-minded phil
