Camille was relieved to be alone for bit in this enchanting city.
 The beauty of Notre Dame cathe- dfal appealed to her immensely. Once inside it's portals. she gazed, en- tranced. at the famous blue-stained window, then at the red. How ex- quisite 1t all was, How calm and se- cluded, after the hustle of the out side world!
 Along the walls were tiny confess ! sionals, while in the main portion of the building, people knelt at prayer.
 An old woman was selling rosaries and candles at table in the rear.
 It was o'clock now, and a peal l of heavenly music drifted toward the girl It seemed to wrap her round in l folds of peace, and quiet the spirit that had been rather vexed of late. The singing sounded like an angels | choir.
 A tired woman stepped forward and lit three small wax candles before an image of the Madonna. The woman was poorly clad, and she could i'll afford the offering, but there was a rapt look upon her thin face that lit up until it glowed.
 Tears sprang to Camilles eyes. Sin cerity in any form appealed to her, and the woman looked pathetieally forlorn somehow
 Half an hour later. the girl went out into the sunshine and fingered by the dear little shops that crowd near Notre Dame. and that are full of etchings and other fascinating works of art.
 In one of them. she bought litt,e tinted statuette of Quasimodo, Victor Hugo's famous dwarf, for 6.90 francs. which-at the rate of exchange-was only about 9 shlllings. The tiny fig

Love-and the Man

Herbert was silent again. As the miles rolled under us I began to grow doubtful of my good sense in accept Ing his invitation. but was also curl ous to know the kind of "sentimental- isn't that Hardy described
 And then just as though minutes had not intervened since his last speech. he said: Yes, Thomas Hardy was right when he described this manly idiosyncrasy in these words:
 To his well-beloved he had al- ways been faithful; but she had had many embodiments. Each individu- ality known as Luoy, Jane. Flora. Evangeline, or what-not had been merely transient condition of her. He did not recognize this as an ex- cuse or as defense, but as a fact simply. Essentially. she was, per haps, of no tangible substances spirit a dream, a frenzy, a concep- tion, an aroma, a light in the eye, a parting of the lips, epitomized sex
 "'God only knew what she was, he did not. She was indescribable.' !"
 Herb was silent again and I thought: 50 this Is man!' Then I remembered that poem that hung in Ria's room. Some of the stanzas stood out in my memory. read them as though on printed page: T will love me one: will love me

 And unto both shall my heart be

Tt is a great pleasure to be back in Birmingham again and to make report on the splendid cooperative work am meeting with everywhere on the Woodrow Wilson foundation fund" said Mrs. Charles E. simonson of New York. who Is again a visitor to the city, having been here cnly last week to organize and arrange for Alabamas quota to the S1,000,00O fund which Is now being promoted.
 There isn't section of America which isn't deeply interested in the Woodrow Wilson foundation fund and yesterday during Wilson hour l doubt if there was a city of even the smallest population which wasn't affected by the significance of the oc- casion and the spirit which prompted It."
 Incidentally, it was tho toscln which sounded for the start of the Woodrow Wilson foundation fund and while this campaign is no. a drive but a free will offering. and the testimonial of the love and the respect in which ex-President Wilson Is held, Is not a 'memorial' at the same time everything must have a beginning, and the Wilson hour was the start for this movement

 From there, she walked up the river side. halting every now and then at the absurd little bookstalls built into the river walls, where shabby scholars fingered.
 (This was the sort of afternoon Camille enjoyed tremendously)
 She watched the ancient bookworms hunting first editions and bargains, and cloaked and slouch- -hatted art ists and students on the prowl for finds.
 Then. keeping on until she reached the Boulevard St. Michel, she found charming out -of-door teashop, fac ing the Jardin de Luxembourg, and sat down at little table, from which eoign of vantage she could observe the passers-by.

 'I might enumerate dozen or even more different methods which have been designed in different states for the raising of the quotas, and each is original and so far has proven sue cessful but the main idea that we want to emphasize is that the fund Is free will oeferlng-given because of the love we bear for the man who has, in the face of terrific obstacles and the most tremendous difficultiess done more for the world than any other individual man.

MIR. Har,lins's New Ro,o

WJAsHlNGToN observers agree that Mr.
w Harding has been disiluSioned with
respect to party accommodating the
phrase as Mr. Harding has applied il. They
also agree that the President. shocked by
the recent expression OF popular impatience
and distrust, has made up his mind to take
personal charge OF affairs. and, If possible
avert the disaster which impends.
Two important questions will be raised
IN this connection by those who know Mr.
harding and have observed tho course of
affairs at Washington during the last two
years. Is Mr.. Harding capable of assunl-
ing relationship? II. under ordinary cir
cumsiances. he possesses that capacity. has
he not waited too long to redeem his adj
ministration?
The pertnencc Of these questions will
hardly be debated. 1t is no secret that Mr..
Harding. genial, forbearing and we'll

normally" and party government" be-
cause they stood, In his mind, for good feel
ing. He is. by nature and developed ten

haps, injured feelings and resentment.

cr he will now find it possible to revise his
habits and ncinations-shakc up his whole
complex" 10 speak-ani become n
dominating leader instead of patient

and it is equally doubtful whether he
is starting early enough. His opportunity
was golden two years ago. He came into
Cfiice with an overwhelming vote of ma
tional confidence and accompanied by Il
congress whose prcponderance of Repub-
lichn strength almost without preccd-

PIES and program But he waited two wears

Now. that opportunity. If not entirely
