said d woman in the crowd as the last
tapestried chair went under the ham
mer and the public auction Of Gerald-
inc Farrar's household furnishings and
stage costumes came to an end.
The woman meant more than she
said. She meant that Geraldine Farrar
was through with life as Mrs. Lou
T~ellegen and equally through with
grand opera. The wide roomed sunny
house at 20 West Seventy-fourth
street had been swept bare of furnish
ings as of memories, and there were
tears in the eyes Of the woman as she
stood in the Fifth avenue auction
rooms amid the orderly clutter OF OBJ
jects that spoke SO much of hopes
shattered.
Those tears gave the keynote of the
most personal auction sale New
York has ever known. Not until they
actually saw the beds and the vanity
boxes, the pictures, the household
linen, the gorgeous robes of That's and
Butterfly offered for sale to the high
est bidder with a reckless disregard
of cost and sentimental association did
her tremendous following realize h q
Farrar meant what she said.

brought to an end by her own dramatic
gesture.
Realizing this at last, her admirers
thronged to buy a final souvenir or-if
money and opportunity afforded, to
gaze their fill upon the intimate things
of her home and operate career. BY
actual count S.246 people walked
through the auction rooms before the
sale began. On each of the four days
of the sale there were 700 bidders in
the rooms, with 200 belated aud dis
appointed, begging yainly for admis-
sion. The police were called TO control
| the mass, and they closed Twenty-fifth
| street to all cars except those bound
for the auction. Between 3 and 4 in

Marjorie Ketrick, her secretary, said,
to have as many people as possible
possess her things. The idea of
mementos scattered far and wide
among her admirers seemed to APP
peal to her more than the money.
They bought a bath towel or an ink
stand, these Gerry flappers' to whom
Geraldine has always been half q god

a spangled fan or a pair of slippers

They bought the rubber door mat

And oh, yes, the censor got him.
Most of the American correspondents
accepted their defeat at the hands of
the British premier gracefully, but the
fellow who started popping questions
at Lloyd George in the fisrt place
wouldn't rest. He kept deviling the

of the interview through the censor

was not to be cabled back to England.
The correspondent, in the long run,
therefore. got credit for one of the big

long fight to survive the c~alanlties OF
war which befei1 oil of the allied and

ish premier so very soon after the
curtain fell upon the conference of Yer
%sailles. They had many fights together,
| the president and the Britisher, and it
was a long while, indeed, before they
understood one another and began to
make Roadway. The two men are re-
garded by many as much alike-too
| much alike-too much alike ever to get
along together for any great length of
time. Lloyd George just recently has
been accused of a~rrogating lal the pow

familiar words in American politics

LLOYD George and President Wilson

Rear Admiral Grayson. the presi-

together. He had taken a great fancy
to the little Welshman and took the
liberty of bringing about an entirely in
formal meeting between the two one
evening at the Wilson menage. After
that the whole atmosphere was more
cordial.
When Lloyd George fell Ill Mt the
conference with a touch Of the influ-

Grayson. About this time Admiral
Grayson was very keen on old Tiger

Tiger and the Welshman were fond OF
each other-like two strange bulldogs.

could hold no more.
And most of the crowd, like most
Of the bidders, were women. They
made it as has been said, a personal
affair. They sympathized, with a
neighborly quality not often seen in
this town, over the domestic tragedy
around which the sale revolved.
Though she was out somewhere in
the west, Geraldine's presence per-
vaded the place. You couldn't get away
from it. A vanity box that went for
$500, and was not intrinsically worth
nearly so much-went not as bauble
but as a thing that Geraldine had
often handled.
