The Washington times., 1920-01-18

TT was back in 1911 that Mrs. Alice
Natalie Barney, the very wealthy
= widow of the late Albert Clifford Bar
ney. and one Of the leaders of Wash
ington fashio2able society, married Mr.
Christian Hemmick in Paris. Mrs. Barney
was then ffty-seven years old-the bride
groom only twenty-six. Young NE. Hem.
mick had no wealth, but as Mrs. Barney
put it, "he looked like a young Greek
god" The daughters of the somewhat ripe
bride, both of whom were older than>their
new stepfather, objected. Mrs. Barney did
not care. She kept right on and got
married.
1T is just like Alice" said her friends
"She always does do things differently"
They recalled many other interesting
things that Mrs. Barney had done. Her
advocacy of trousers for women of fash
ion, her many plays and pageants. her ad
herence to the little known Persian re-
ligion Of BAHIA, or Babism, as it is more
generally called; the residence she built
on fashionable Sheridan Circle, Washing
ton. which is in the likeness of an ancient
Roman house; the ssarcophagus on the
lawn that once held the mummy of an
Egyptian princess, and so many other in
teresting things.
And time went on.
Then just few days ago fashionable
Washington rubbed its eyes and raised its
eyebrows in utter perplexity. To the
charmed inner circle had come an invita-
tion to certain finction-"Mrs. Alice
Barney requests" etc.
But who was Mrs. Alice Barney? There
had only been one lady Of that name, and
she was now Mrs. Christian Hemmick
Strange, too, the address was Mrs Chris
tian Hemmick's Sheridan Circle house,
II this Mrs. Alice Barney was Mrs. Alice
Barney Hemmick, what had become of the
Hemmick? 1t had been acquired by due
ceremony. Legally and In the eyes of the
law as we'll as her friends she was Mrs.
Christian Hemmick. There had been no
reports Of separation, none at all of any
legal action whereby the fashionable lady
was authorized to return to her pre-matri-
monial nomenclature. What could 1t all
mean? Surely there must be some mis-
take.
Those who had received the invitations
and dutifully presented themselves found
that there was no mistake. There was no
longer a Mrs. Christian Hemmick. There
was only the former Mrs. Alice Barney.
Had she been divorced so secretly that
not even her closest friends had heard
OF It?
Oh, no, 1t was just her way of announc-
ing that she had dropped her husband!
It was so delightfully."- simple. 1t saved
money, minimized gossip. The marriage
had been mistake and so she had Just de.
cided to go right back and begin again
where she had left off when she had placed
her life in the hands Of her young Greek
god.
"Well," gasped fashionable society
again, alice certainly does do things dis
ferently."
But were there reservations7 How
about her checks. business details, ETC.
for in the eyes Of the law she was not Mrs.
Alice Barney, but still Mrs. Christian Hem
mick. Would she dissociate the unpleas.

TO TAKE STAND
FOR new ORDER
Or. ]. n. Scott Predicts Great
Future Under Leadership of
Young Christians.
MILLIONS FOR NEW SCHOOLS.
Baptists to Spend Huge Sum to Give
Christian Training to Young Men
and Women of Japan.

Religious leaders in America are
watching with interest the struggle go
ing on in Japan between the military
and the progressive parties, accord
ing to DR.. ]. Fl. Scott, of the American
Baptist Foreign Mission Society who
Is preparing to return to Japan after a
years furlough. For twenty-seven
years DIR. Scott has been in the Flow
cry Kingdom and 1t is partly On his
recommendation hat the Baptists
have decided to spend a million and
a half dollars there between now and
April 1924.
Over 100000 will be invested in the
Mabie Memorial School at Yokohama,
while 100000 will go TO the Christian
college at the same place. Practically
every dollar of the appropriation for
Japan will be used for educational pur.
poses except 100000 set apart for IF.
teen church buildings.
In the present cabinet, largely made
up of progressives, DR.. Scott sees the
final overthrow of autocracy and mill
tarism. Old policies are giving way In
the face of the modern ideas Of the
young men and women of Japan,
many of whom are Christians, educated
In the Christian colleges that have
sprung up in Japan within the last
fifty years, he says.
1--WE owe to this progressive anti.
militaristic party our strongest moral
support. and every assistance to the
mission effort in Japan will be a direct
contribution to the of peace and
hasten the coming of the day when the
military spirit and the %autocratic pol
icy will be no MORE" said DR.. Scott.
Japan will lead the Far East in com
MERGE, industry and invention as well
as In education and art" he added,
"bpt there Is q still. greater mission
for Japan and that Is as q leader IN
the principles Of truth, liberty and
righteousness. Not many years ago
she was in the grip Of a despotic
feudal system. She had a cruel caste
system under which the man of lower
caste had no more rights than a dog.
That has been done away with. Her
people once had no religious rights and
her women once were mere chattels
Wonderful reforms have been accom-.
plished but none more pronounced
than the granting of religious freedom
to the people and the recognition of
women as equals with men,"
According to DR.. Scott, Japan has
been unable to build schools fast
enough. Ninety-seven per cent OF the
children of school age are being edu.
Gated. Industrial schools have opened
and yearly turn out hundreds of grad.
yates. In Osaka more than 1000 girls
were graduated last year.

devoted TO the foreign work of the de.
nomination for the fve-year period.
The amount allotted to both home
and foreign work is far In excess of
any previous expenditure of the de
nomination in a like period and the
raising of the 100000, 900 within q
single week is regarded by the North
ern Baptists as the greatest financial
undertaking that they have ever en-
tered upon. The 500. 100000 budget
includes only the general extension
work of the denomination, generally
classified as "benevolence," and does
no include the budgets of the local
churches In 1918 the total estimated
value of the church property of the
churches included in the Northern Bap

amount raised that year for church ex
