DISRAELL, ARDENT
LOVER, AUDAC|OUS;
He KNEW WOMEN
Biography of Great English
Statesman Shows Former
Premier to Have Been Man
of Sentiment.

LONDON, Aug. 12-Most of the
world s famous men owe a substantial
share of their glory to women. The
concluding volumes of THE Life OF
Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beacons-
field" written by George Earle Buckle,
throw an astounding light on Disraeli
as man of sentiment. one who could
have decoyed the mother of the Grac-
chi into Irritation or made love to
Mrs. Murdstone, who could have melted
Diana and inveigled Minerva.
Disraeli had the audacity OF the
great lover, and knew exactly how to
cast the women with whom he came
in contact, from Queen Victoria down
wards.
At 6S years of age this romantic
statesman, six months after the death
OF wife who adored him and to whom
he was devoted, formed strange at
tachment for Lady Chesterfield, widow
of the sixth Earl of Chesterfield, and
her sister, Lady Bradford, the wife OF
sporting peer who had been Dis
raelfs colleague as Lord Chamberlain.
The fact that both were grandmothers
did not strike their sutton as an OBJ
stacle to rapture or a source of cen
sure and ridicule
Disraeli spoke for himself when he
said few years earlier in "Lothair''
THREE score -and-ten at the present
day is the period of romantic passions
AS for our enamored sexagenarians,
they avenge the theories of our cold
blooded youth"
These women, influential in the aris-
tocratic Tory society which had shown
some reluctance to accept his auto
crazy as leader, recalled to Disraeli
gay nights at Almack's and the memo
ries of his youth when they gave him
that feminine sympathy and compan-
ionship without which life was for him
an incomplete thing

Third Liberty loan, it states that on April Is

you will receive interest on the amount you
paid for the bond, other issues bear other
rates of interest and other maturity dates

aaon the other hand, If you sell your Liberty
bond now, you will find that the man you sell
it TO will not give you dollar for every dollar
you paid for it. The price has been brought
down because many people are offering to
sell their bonds. If the market is flooded

there are few to be had, the price goes up.
The same is true of Liberty bonds. o Short
