Daughter and Mother Estranged.
Muriel's estrangement from her
mother dates from the day her
mother agreed to return to this
country. Because the strained re.
lations between her father and
mother had made It impossible for
the return to America together,
Muriel went to Switzerland to meet
her mother and her sister, Mathilde,
and to accompany them to this
country.
When II was time to sail, Mrs. Nc
Cormick insisted on Including in the
party a person Objectionable to her
two daughters. They then begged
her to accede to their wishes, but she
refused, and since her return TO this
country she has repeatedly refused
a similar plea. And this in spite Of
the fact that close friends Of both

Harold, Wonderful Man,
Says Gamma; Is Happy
and Will Keep Up Music
BY C. r. BERTELLI
Universal seryIce.

PARIS, Aug. 11.-"This is the
happiest day of my life. Harold is
a wonderful man, typifying ideal
Americanism. He is not jealous of
my career, realizing that woman
must have her own interests in
order to bring to the home the
real atmosphere of home life."
Thus declared the former Gamma
walslSa Cochran to me yesterday
morning just after her marriage to
Harold r. Mccormick. the Ameri-
can harvester millionaire. Then
continuing her philosophizing, the
bride said:
Marriage must be founded on
mutual esteem, friendship, under
standing and then love, which Is
last, but not least.
However,. love alone does not
constitute SOUND basis for mar
ried life. In the course Of my life
I have studied women Of all coun-
tries in relation to their outlook
toward marriage.
In America there are too many
quick, ove-at-first-sight matches.
Luxury, money, and power are not
enough to make real happiness,
which can only be derived from
personal achievement.
Wanted Quiet Life.
Both Harold and I understand
this. That is why he allows me
to continue with my music.
THE reason for the secrecy re.
garding the details Of our wedding
was simply our desire to avoid un.
welcome publicity. Otherwise we
would have allowed everybody 10
know everything from the very
start, because we are both proud OF
each other.
I'VE are happy to be married and
we wish everybody else equal happi'
ness"
Mccormick and Gamma were mar.
ried yesterday morning at 1880 at
the town hall in the Sixteenth dis

plans include a return to Chicago for

~HRISTOPHER COLUMBUS has
4 probably been a great lesson and
comfort to lots of people, blu no
~body ever got more out OF his
story than Ben Worth.
Ben was eight years old and lived
on the bank of a great River, n of
the greatest rivers in the World. 1t
was the mighty Hudson River. Across
from Ben's home were the Palisades
and between was the River.
One day in the autumn after a long
dry spell, Ben rose and ran down to
the river. and what did he see but an
islandi Some would have called It a
sand bar which the low tide had ex-
posed to view, but to Ben 1t was a
magical, mysterious island, reckoning
and calling him to come and explore.
The awful part of 1t all was that
while Ben did live on the bank OF
the great River and saw hundreds of
boats and ships and ferries and
every day pass to and fro,
he did not own so much as the small
est kind of boat. He knew it would
do no good to ask for a boat. To
begin with, they would say he was too
young for one; then there was no
money to spare for such things.
The island was not very far from
the shore, but to the boy on the bank,
it seemed miles and miles away.
Nobody has aver been On It,"
thought Ben. "I know it because it's
a new island. just fresh from the
water"
Jean, his sister, who was ten and
very wise, came down to the bank
and stood beside Ben and saw the
island.
"If I only had a boat, JEAN" said
Ben, "I would row over there and ex-
plore, and then I'd plant a pole with
the American flag on it. That's what
all explorers do when they find a new
island. Columbus put up a Spanish
flag, don't you remember"
Eyes. but you don't own a boat, and
If you did you couldn't row it because
YOU don't know how" said Jean. who
vas very wise.
Ben was quiet a long time, think
ing. Then he said:
'If you were like Queen Isabella,
you wouldn't talk hat way. You'd
sell your jewels and buy me a boat"
Jean laughed at the idea.
"sillyl" she exclaimed. That island
isn't important"
That's what they told Columbus
when he started out" replied Benz
''They said he wouldn't find anything
worth while"
Jean looked at her brother, then
she said:
"All right, III try to sell my jewels.
but you know, they aren't worth much
and 1 don't know who would buy
them"
Grandma would. to keep them in !

the family" replied Ben.
The children's grandmother lived
in a low white house with rambler
roses growing over the front porch.
1t was not far away, so the explorer
and his Queen Isabella" went there
at once. Jean had her jewels on. a
little blue locket with a tiny pearl in
the center, a silver bracelet and a ring
made of glass beads.
Grandmother was busy baking when
the children came. She was talking
to a neighbor. a big stout lady who sat
in a high-backed roc. r and held the
cat. Ben and Jean sat down and
waited until the lady went away be-
fore speaking about the Jewels.

chosen to be the weather man. All
the others stand in lines facing the
weather man and listen carefully to
the directions which he gives. If he
says: 1.-THE wind blows east" all the
children playing the game must whirl
towards the east. If he calls wind
blows west" all the children turn
west. Now If he is a very clever
Weather Man he will call his direc-
tons very quickly and he will make
the game more difficult by calling oc-
casionally:
Northwest! Southwest! Southeast!
Northeast!
When the weather man calls
Whirlwind or Cyclone all the players
must turn about three times. If any
player makes a mistake in his direc-
ton or doesn't whirl about when he is
supposed to he must pay a forfeit.

player stands at a little distance fac

he throws 1t must repeat quickly a
city, country or province in the direc-
ton called. For example,: East
China, Mediterranean, etc. OF
course, the names of cities or States
will depend for their direction mainly
on the location of the players. If the
child fails to respond before catching
the bag he must drop out of line.
The player who is able to stand In line
the longest wins the game.

You'll be doing this soon." he said
to Ben.
Nearer and nearer they drew to the
magical, mysterious island. As the
boats keel struck the sand, Ben
jumped out on to the new land. He
had a stick in his hand and this he
planted by poking 1t into the soft
sand. Then from his pocket he took
put a flag and fastened it on to the
stick. Then he knelt on one knee,
as he'd seen Columbus do in pictures.
Jean could hardly keep from laugh
ing. although she was very excited
and pleased too. Ben kept kneeling
and kneeling, his eyes fixed on the
ground.

cheerily. What do o see? A foot
print? No, that was Robinson Cursoe.
wasn't it? Well, what do you see?"
TREASURED" cried Ben suddenly
jumping to his feet in wild excite
ment. Come quickI"
Something in his tone brought his
uncle and sister quickly to his side.
They knelt and looked at the ground
too. There sticking up through the
damp sand was the corner of a box,
an iron-bound box.
"Cargoes have been lost; the river
has many secrets" muttered Uncle Al
excitedly, as he began digging out the
box with his hands.
1t was a large box, Uncle AL had a
hard time lifting it aboard the boat.
He was too excited to talk while he
rowed quickly back to the shore, but
Ben and Jean talked and talked.
What could the treasure be? Was
there more on the island? Pieces of
eight! Spanish d~oubloons!
"But If it's nothing much we won't
be disappointed" said Jean firmly.
They tied their boat up and then
carried the box into the Worth's
house. You should have seen poor
Mrs. Worth's face when she heard the
story. and Grandma, who was there
too, came and leaned over to look,
while bright pink spots showed on
her cheeks.
