which seeks always to add beauty to
the decorative aspect of a garden.
The chair was white. The gown
Of the woman in it was blue, it
looked black in the. soft evening light
and against the rose-coyered villa
and the white chair.
The woman did not move. Her
small, shapely head, as from fatigue,
rested against the high back Of the
chair. 1t was crowned with a great
weight of hair, as yellow and as
heavy as gold, built up into d won
derful coiffure that resembled in its
vague outlines the helmet of Miner
va. Her hands and her elbows lay
on the arms of the chair.
Beside her, a step beyond, the man
who had arrived a moment before
Monsieur JonqueIle stood in an atti-
tude of menace. The visible person
atty of the man was pulling That
he was an American one could in

easily determine bis status or his
habits Of life.
He had some of the PHYSICAL char
actdristics, some of the tricks of
dress Of one engaged in an artistic
vocation; some Of the swift, accurate,
precise gestures of one skilled in
the plastic arts. But there was a
yigor and determination about the
man than one is not accustomed to
find in q mere artisan element of
ruthless decision and of swift acts as
Of one accustomed to peril in his
trade.

JonauclIe at the turn Of the path
were unmistakabIe in their menace.
But the woman did not move.
Neither the sudden appearance of
the man, nor his words, nor his
menacing gesture had in any respect
disturbed her equanimity.
The scene changed as at the snap
OF invisible fingers, And Monsieur
Jonquelle came up on the terrace.
The man fell into the posture of one
at ease before an interrupting visitor,
and the woman looked up languidly
rs though uudisturbed; as though no
human drama, however tragic, could
disturb her; as though she were for
ever beyond the stimulus of any
human emotion.
1t was clear that the man had no
knowledge of Monsieur JonqueIle,
but to the woman he was evidently
a familiar figure. His appearance
must have been an immense surprise
to her, as the appearance of the man
beyond her had been, but there was
no evidence of it in her voice.
She did not rise. But she spoke
softly.
You do me a conspicuous honor, .
she said. You will have been very
much concerned about me to search
me out here"
Then she presented the man be-
yond her.

maid appeared. An added direction
brought two chairs. The American
sat down where he was, but Monsieur
Jonquelle carried his chair little
beyond the woman to the edge of the
terrace. He put down his hat, his
stick, and his gloves.
Il am fortunate to find you," he
said Il hoped to arrive a moment
earlier"
The woman smiled

THE WOMAN ON THE TERRACE

Monsieur Jonquelle, the Project of
Police of Paris, was a moment late.
An angry voice reached him at
the turn of the path. 1t was tense,
low, menacing voice. The words were
not clear, but the intent in the voice
was unmistakable. For q mere frac-
ton of time he remained motionlesS
as in some indecision; then he went
forward swiftly.
It was evening. The soft colors Of
a sort of twilight day were on the
Mediterranean. The man-coIored
city of Nice was lying below the
mountain of olive trees and the
Cimiez. The whole scene was from
a country of the fairy; the romantic
frontier of some kingdom of wonder
legend.
There were two persons on the
long terrace of the villa when Mon
sieur Jonquelle approached. The
villa was small ana eNquSlte-a SORT
Of jewel-box hidden in garden Of
tropical Insurance, inclosed by a
high wall surmounted by a tile Dor
der.
The villa was rose-color. The tiles
of the terrace and the border Of the
high wall were also rose-color. It
was dainty and senuous bit Of the
world, as though raised by some en-
chantment out of the baked earth
of Arabia.
Monsieur Jonquelle interrupted a
tragic moment.
A woman sat in a chair midway Of
this terrace. 1t was one of those
beautiful invalid-chairs made for the
out-of-doors by that Italian genius

STABLE RULE TO
COME TO RUSSIA
Goodrich Tells About Famine
Stricken Country.

The present rulers of Russia will bring
a stable government to that country, for
mer Governor James P. Goodrich, said
yesterday before an auditorium crowded
with men and women al the Memorial
Presbyterian Church, Eleventh street and
Ashland avenue, in explaining the mis-
fortunes Of that country. Mr.. Goodrich
had been in Russia several months with
the American Relief Administration.
Many thousand people in Russia are
doomed to die by starvation unless aid
is sent by the rest of the world, he said.
1.-The most surrising thing to me about
the whole famine situation in the barren
Vo1ga district" said Mr. Goodrich, "ls
the stoicism and the fatailism, the I'M
concern with which the doomed peasants
face starvation. and with which their
neighbors who have their own means OF
sustenance for several months boarded
in their granaries sit calmly by ana
watch this terrible suffering and end
come to those who are fortunate"
Mr. Goodrich, viii leave for New York
shortly, where he will superintend the
spending of the S20,OO0OOO which was
appropriated by the American Congress,
for the purchase OF food for the famine
stricken country. This fund will be
augmented by S1,000OO from the
soviet government. Ten million bushels
of grain already have been shipped to the
country.

POISONED
FROM DRINKING
AT SACRAMENT
SeUeR Become Violently I'LL
After Communion
Service.

GRAND RAPIDS Mich, Jan. 9.-Sev-
eral of the eight elders of the Seventh
Reformed Church who were poisoned at
the altar yesterday when they drank
from the sacramental cup in which by
error some one had poured a poisonous
furniture polish instead of wine, are re-
ported today to be in serious condi-
ton. Others are recovering.
Elder g. Folkerstma had been I'll for
some time before taking the poison and
it is feared that the poisoning will prove
fatal to him. H. TeUrkeurs also is re-
ported to be dangerously i'll from the
lethal drink.
The eight elders had been called to the
altar to receive the sacrament from the
Rev. Arnold J. Lummel, preparatory to
administration of the rite to members of
the congregation. One by one. after
partaking of the communion drink, the
elders toppIed over on the floor, groan-
ing and moaning in agony. Several de-
velOped commissions.
The congregation was thrown into az
uproar and the pastor Immediately ad-
journed the service. The stricken elders
were removed to their homes where
physicians are attending them.
According to Rev. Van Lummel, the
new choir loft Of the church was com
pleted last week and vanished with a
polish containing nicotine and potash.
The polish remaining when the job was
completed was placed in a jug, Rev. Van
Lummel said, and it is believed that this

and recognizing the league as the agency

and recognizing the league as the agency
of Interpretation or appeal.
So, also, two important pre-war social
projects have been taken over by the
league. AS regards the suppression Of the
traffic in opium, the expert advisory
committee has begun its work and the
council and the assembly have gone far
beyond anything ever before attempted
in initiating definite plans not only that
the traffic be controlled, but that the
production be limited to purely legitimate
needs. As regards the suppression of
the international white slave traffic, a
conference of thirty nations was held at
Geneva last spring; a new convention
was drawn up and Endorsed by the as
sembly and twenty -three nations havs
already rut their signatures to it.
Moreover, certain specific humanitarian
emergencies have been met. Under di-
rection of DR.. Nansen over 100000 pris-
oners of war, many of whom had been
in exile for five and six years, have been
returned to their homes. The plight or
the 100000 Russian refugees squeezed out
of Russia into the neighbOring States
and that of unnumbered thousands OF
Armenian women and children dragged
off into Turkish harems are slowly being
ameliorated through the league.
Where the league has achieved lease
success is in reduction of ornaments.
Progress has been impossible in naval
questions because of Americas absence,
and delayed in military matters by
Europes unstable political situation
Nevertheless, certain preparatory WORK
has been effected; the question Of bud
getary limitation and statistical infor-
nation studied; and two corOIlary prof.
ects the suppression of the traffic in
arms and munitions to backward coun-
tries and the control of the private manu-
facture of arms, initiated.
In the last two years, then, it may
safely be said that the League Of Nations
has built up a flexible structure for in
ternational cooperation; has solved sew
eral serious conflicts between nations ana
established the machinery for solving
others that may arise; has begun the
creation of a new kind Of international
