LOOKING IN
on the conference
BRAND Living Type of Old Western Sheriff, Lacking
Only Wide Hat and Two Six Shooters-Dee-
gates Assure France Of Protection.

voice behind this writer says softlys "A
lion In a den of Daniels" BRANDS
voice fs chromatic, rythmical; now fall
ing into levels of pathos, now springins
triumphantly to heights OF pride; the
measured instrument OF master o.
pitch and timbre. After eighteen min
utes he takes his seat and the competent
Camerlynck rapidly and with true ora
torical talents, so that little perhaps OF
the surge and sweep of BRAND is lost,
puts into English the first period Of the
speech.
Speaking further, In two more such
periods, he puts the case of France with
fire and spirit, telling the world plainly
that If the Powers cannot guarantee the
security of France In disturbed
Europe, If France must stand alone.
then France must not be denied the
right to protect herself. And he ends,
after fifty-one minutes, with an appeal
for such moral support for his country
as would extinguish Germany's aims.
Applause, which had saluted the Premier
from time to time, now rises to sustained
acclaim. He leans back, little pale
one thinks, to hear the verdict OF the
conference.
Balfour, marvellously viriles with his
out Of doors color and his firm and well
fleshed figure, expresses with gracefui-
ness that soothes like the notes OF a
distant violin the appreciation OF the
conference at having been initiated Into
"the anxious doubts of France" There
Is a murrnur of pleasure among the
French, but BRAND gazes silently. stead
fly, thoughtfully. Balfour leaves little
doubt in the minds of his hearers as to
what England's course would be II
France again should be unJustly at
tackled. It is q note that Schanzer for
Italy repeats. Then stands Baron Kato
for Japan, a slim, almost emaciated
figure, eyes lustreless and melancholy
in a face the color of old ivory. He
speaks in Japanese, In tones that fall
with kind Of mournful echo, and when
he finishes his interpreter puts his mes
sage into English and into French.
Then follow De Cartier de Marchienne
the Belgian. to say that his country
stands toward France where it has stood
for 500 years.
There is a pause. Hughes gets to his
feet, bold, confident. invigorating flg-
ure. His heavy white mustache, curling
upward, slightly sweeps his healthy
checks, dominating the close cropped
beard The delegates stiffen with new
kindled interest. BRAND ceases writing
and leans back in his chair. facing the
American spokesman. Prince Tokugawa.
Kato, Shidehara, fasten their keen glance
on this speaker. Hughes is brief. but as
he strides through his thought the face
Of Jusserand, Ambassador Of France in
America, lights up. For Hughes is TAX
ing the note Of dependable friendship
for France sounded by Balfour and Is
making It ring like bell.
The New York herald., 1921-11-22

Presently, as he expounds the facts
that make France suspect the purpose
of an unrepentent Germany, he takes
fire. Flame shows in his deepset eyes.
His rigid hands cut the air with slash
ing gestures. More than ever he sug-
gests the sheriff OF the vanished West.
If two big guns should materialize In
the swift moving hands of this powerful
figure in the etaid attire of diplomacy
they would scarcely be incongruous. A

WHAT PErERK1Ns SOUGHT

Dear Cornerites: Greetings this hot
July morning.
Dear Aunt Mehitable: How I wish YOU
were going up on the train with me
Thursday morning. DO, you remember
our trip two years ago. when the engine
gave out? Well l am going to leave
Norwich and shall not be back for some
time.
presume lola and the other sisters will
be glad I have left the Corner I don't
think Mercia or myself made any attack
on married life. 1t was my idea to see
what the different sisters Thought of a
wife having an allowance, but this ends
my writing on Il e subject. I do not
want to leave the impression that I dis
Like the men. Not so, 1 am fond of
them. I presume you think am an old
maid, grown sour, indolent, petty and
irritable. The bachelor woman's pitfall
is that of being selfish, hard, mannish
and slovenly. Nature, it seems, intend
ed for man to act as a buffer between
world and the woman, and when there is
no buffer woman not infrequently hides
her recurrent heartaohe beneath a devil

ask you to take this into serious consid-

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I
realize you must have a great time every
time the Corner clubs meet. Instead
Of Social Corner I have had a family
corner at home. I had twelve to dinner.
My mother and father are with me and
one of the Corner sisters, also My
father was the oldest of the party, being

We are going to have a similar time
next Sunday at my mothers, so as to
make it plasaent for the oldest one who
cannot GO very much,
I received a pretty card on my birth
day and want to thank the sister very
much. 1t was the only one I got, although
I often thought it would be fine to be
showered. I had quite a few useful pres
ents this year.
I suppose all in the Corner who have
children are beginning to think of getting
them ready for school. 7 have begun tc
make some school dresses for my three
girls. One of them has gone to spend
two or three weeks with her grandma.
My girls like mildly suits to wear to
school. They look good and are easy tc
make. 1t means some sewing, however

OLD TRUTHS REMAIN THE SAME

Dear. Cornerites: When we get the
idea that we are very talented or very
charming into our heads we soon have
room for not. much else. For an idea
Of that variety swells and grows until
it entirely crowds out good sense and
humility. It's a good thing to remem-
Der that we have no patert on all the wis
dom that there is and that even what we
tri~'7 is sageness may possibly be its OPP
posits.
.,o..adays it's difficult, indeed, to tell
truth from sophistry. Tie latter mas
querades so plausibly that unless we take
more time to think and weigh than we
generally do, before we know it we are
deep in devious ways.
The old truths remain the same to be
sure They always villa certain num-
Der of fundamentals of life. But we try
to repudiate them or dress them up in
fancy frills Of our own devising, to
change their form, if not their substance.
In the end we are obliged to confess
that they are interchangeable, un-get-
around-able. If we try to crush them and
get them out of the way of our desires,
they rebound and crush US in turn.
So many wonders have been aecomp-
lished in these latter years that it's diff
ficult to realize that there are things
that can't be done, no matter how hard
we try. No power of mortal mind or
body is adequate. We rebel, for we reach
out for somnipotence, yet it is best for us
that we be brought face to face with
our own irSpotency at times. Reverence
for a higher power, humanity, patience
these are not outgrown virtues today.
We need them in our lives just as much
as ever.
Best regards to the sisters these
sweltering days. S. E. D.
