THE LESSON FROM FRANCE.

NJ. Jusserand. the French ambassa-
dor preached powerful forest protec-
ton weck sermon in a very few words
the other day when he accepted the
gift of millions of American tree seeds
for France from Charles Lathrop Pack,
president of the American Forestry as
ISOLATION. He said:
Once more America is coming to
the rescue. We did not believe that our
gratitude could be increased, but it
will be by what you are doing.
"Of few things were we prouder than
Of our forests. well kept owing to the
exertions OF the pupils of our National
School of Forestry at Nancy.
Our forests suffered terribly from
the war as some of you may have
seen; where for centuries trees waved
their green foliage nothing is now
left but barren ground And we must
reconstruct our houses, so we are now
trying to reconstruct our forests. And

1T seems as If those diminutive sci
ons Of the American stock understood
that it is question of great and
friendly country which should be help
ed with all speed; and trees from your
seeds are conspicuous for the rapidity
OF their growth. They are in their way
worthy representatives OF you, kind
hearted Americans, toward whom our
increasing gratitude will never fade"
France knew how to use her forests
and keep them producing at the same
time. Then the war came along. Why is
it the United States, the American
Forestry association asks, rightly, does
not have forest policy? We should
have forest policy that results in a
crop of trees every year, just as We
have crops In anything else. Will it
take war, wiping out what we have
left to bring action?

, ing the week following our removal
from the old Brennan house into the
one we had bought on Chase avenue.
The tangible estrangement between
us had its roots in something which
feared to acknowledge even to myself
and that was sure Dicky did not
realize. Beginning with my discovery
of Grace Draper's photograph in a
lcarefu1ly secluded box belonging to
my husband, the sinister thought of her
had run like a black twisted thread
through my growing uneasiness as to
Dicky's real attitude toward the war.
I had been torn with shamed remorse
that the shadow of such thought con-
corning my husband could find harbor
in my mind, but neither remorse nor
my regret had awaited to keep the
thermometer of my respect for Dicky
at the normal mark.
But all doubts fled abashed at the
light in Dfcy's eyes. They might re.
turn, but for the present rested con-
tent in the knowledge that he was
home again, safe, sound and happy.

ONE REEL YARNS
HIS OWN ROOM

Harley had lain there for nearly a
year now, In that little rooms with
the four walls for the ends of his
world. Ever since he had hurt his
back he had been in the same place.
He was never particularly lonely,
though his mother was gone all day.
He didn't mind so much not get
ting about. He had his books. And
the doctor had promised that some
day he could be without the cast. So
he lay In his little room and waited.

Harley dreamily made up all sorts Of
stories about him.
There was a blotch opposite his bed
that looked like a camel, and FEariey's

across the desert. There was anotl1-

wandered into Harley's room by mis-

and after that came often to see
him and to bring him new books.
One day she said she had q sur-

group put on a shadow-show, while
the rest were an audience. The fold
ing doors between the big living room
and the library were pulled apart and

was another door leading into the IL

a chair. Between the lamp and the
sheet the pantomimes were put on.
One group staged q wild western
play with an Indian pow-wcw and

on a grotesque prize fight. Each
bunch worked up something original
which kept the others rocking with
