Tragedy Drove Smile
From the Pershing Face

That was in 1918. A sobered Per.
shing came back to his border assign.
ment. They called him martinez. He
was the kind Of disciplinarian who
marched men for hours in a blazing
sun In parade formation. That Per-
shing seldom smiled.
Two years later-the World War
and the rest is recent history.
Another two ycars--and peace-and
the rest more recent yet.
So Pershing. now general of the
armies Of the United States. came back
to Washington, wound up the affairs Of
the A. II. F., became chief of staff Of
the army and settled down again. And
again have come social conquests, to
cap a great career.
1t is these In which Washington II
interested, as 1t watches the play of
hearts.
Another word and then to the other
characters: Pershing has mellowed
since the war. His face has lost its
leathery tan. and with the tan mas gone
n certain grimness manifest about the
mouth; certain fixed coldness about
the eyes: the harsh lines are softcning
under the warmth of Washington
social atmosphere. His cheeks-one
cheek-even has dimple. 1t might be
Il furrow, but isn't. They call it
fascinating. He smiles oftener, too.
The straight, trim, military Pershing
remains but the 'hard" Pershing has
become social creature the diner -out

Fascinating? Rather!
And now to Pershing the beau. That
is quite the proper term! Beau Brum-

Doesn't Play FaUorites
With Officers or Men

An idea of the manner in which
Pershing is regarded by his men 10
given In many an army story. He Is q
strict diSctplinarian, but he Is just, and
knows no favOritos, either among off
GERS or men. The comfort and welfare
OF his men is always his first thought,
and 1t IS this fact that has made him
so well beloved by the rank and file Of
every command he has ever had.

the great problem was that of pure
water. There were good springs some
distance away. and General Pershins
sent for Sergeant Tom McGill, an ar.
tilleryman. who was also an inventive
genius. The two talked over the prob.

Learned to Dance Well
in His West Point DaHs

West Points hops arc, as General
Dawes might say, embalmed in his
tory. And they have nothing to do
with the Eighteenth Amendment,
pro or con. They are not that kind
of hops. The West Point hops are
the dances where the young buds Of
society meet the young buds of the
army-and dance with them. Well
Pershing played the game. He
always has. He always does.
Wherever he's placed, he always
will. And there he learned to dance.
And that, perhaps, explains his
dancing today-that and a bodily
vigor and ebullience of spirit which
he owes to long years in the open, to
consistent physical exercise and to
a natural optimism. At any rate,
Pershing dances, and dances we'll
better, in fact, than that. Where
fore, in part, his fascination.
But that's only part Of the story.
A small part. It goes deeper than
that; beyond It. Pershing's attrac-
tiveness is built on the bedrock Of
personal magnetism and genuine
good looks" Of which few men
have more. These, coupled, Of
course, with the power Of position,
might account for his social sway.
But "place" is not all Of the story.
There were times when he had no
"place." And "good looks" are not
all of the story. For many a failure
is handsome!

DOUager and Debutante

Dowager and debutante, the winter

ably. He Is the fixed star of their

'Hobson's choice could never be

he would only choose! But he won't.
Or hasn't. Why?
Mrs. Corbin was the first-Mrs.
Henry G. Corbin, of Washington. Her
husband was on Pershing's staff in
France. They were close friends. Cor
bin died before they returned. His
widow mourned him here.
When Pershing came home he looked
her up. She was in mourning and
didn't 80 out. But they saw each other
frequently: SO frequently. in fact. that
the capital began to surmise n real ro-

widow of his friend and aide. An army

known overseas. Marshal Foch came
over. Also other military heroes. 1t
was up to Pershing to play the game,
and he played it rs he always plays it
according to the rules.
At the end Of year or so, when the
rush Of entertaining was over, when the
capital had ceased feting him and being
feted in return, singing him out as the
hours hero, Pershing gave up High
view and moved into town. He has
an apartment now. What entertaining
he does is done in the hotels and cafes.
He has no need Of house. The pres.
ent arrangement is better.
And with the surrender Of "High-
view the gossips sighed and concluded
to look elsewhere for their romance.

have background in matters Of this
kind. It illuminates the present.
Light streaming down the dusty
corridors Of time discloses episodes
Of other days. But let's not be led
into devious byways. OF Pershing
biographies there are any number.
His life, his humble origin, his bril-

all who would know them. But the
social Pershing Is not; the Pershing
personality is not; the Pershing
smile is not; they are known to a

conquests. It was there he earned hi!

Then came the return to the States
an assignment to Washington. a court.
ship and marriage.
Marriage to Miss Warren
Was Noted Social Euent
1t was seventeen years ago that Cap.
tain J. Pershing, Of the Fifteenth
United States Cavalry, wooed and won
the daughter Of a Senator. Moreover,
the daughter Of Senator Francis q.
Warren, from the State Of Wyoming
chairman of the Military Affairs Com
mittee Of the Senate.
His bride, a Wellesley graduate, class
of 1908, was one of the capitals most
charming young women. Her marriage
to Pershing was one Of the most not =
able social events of the Roosevelt Ad.
ministration. The Senate met an hour
earlier than usual 70 its members might
attend. President and Mrs. Roosevelt
occupied a front pew. There were more
than 1000 guests at the wedding re-
ception. The ushers were twelve higl,
officers of the army and navy.
When 1t was all over Captain Per.
shing, who had been appointed military
attache to the japanese Embassy, took
his bride to Toxic on their honey noon.
He was later appointed aide to the late
Senator Knox, Of Pennsylvania. when
Knox was sent to Japan as special AM
bassador at the funeral of the Japanese
Emperor. and in the absence of Mr..
Knox, represented the United> States
at the funeral Of General Nogi and his
wife, after their hara .kiri following
the death of the Emperor.
How he later returned to the States,
was jumped from captain to brigadier
general over the heads of s62 ranking
officers, how Congress and the country
clamored and criticized. how Roosevelt
tried to settle It all BY pointing to Per.
shing's distinguished military career. Is
all past history. But the storm blew
over, the Pershings settled down and
later went to the Pacific Coast.
Nine years passed and Pershing was
on the Mexican border. There one
night came word over the wires that
Mrs. Pershing and three of their four
children--Helen Elizabeth, Anne and
Mary Margaret--had perished In a fire
which swept the Preside, overlooking
the Golden Gate and San Francisco
harbor. 1t was a blow that stunned
him, saddened him. and left lines about
the eyes and cheekbone and jaw that
time will never eiface.

Pershing's Personality
Is Wonderful Asset

"Pershing," they say, ''has a
way"
They might sing Of him as a popular
balladist sang some years ago:
"Ifs not your nationality;
IT'S not vonr personality;
IT'S only y0u'
For there is, be 1t said, but one Per-
shlng.
1t was shown in the Philippines,
though Pershing was always popular
Like most Of the youngsters turned out
West Point about the time of the
filippine insurrcction, Pershing was
fent to that far-off archipelago of head
Ahuntors and heat. And he did his bit,
and did it well. SO we'll he was deco
rated by Congress for heroism. But
every one knows all that. What they
don't know--as the old timers in the

staff is not arOund-is that Pershing's

In the dim antiquity of that period.
