away from Elisha as she gave voice
to her grief. She who had perceived
the holiness of Elisha felt the hollow,
ness of the servant. But Elisha was
all sympathy and gave her the shar-
ing of his tears as well as his power,
and they were soon travelling together
the road of her sorrow. And sorrow
is always lightened when hearts go
together.
THE FAILURE OF FORMS.
Distrusting the holder, she saw no
relief in the prophets staff. A staff
may stiffen a step, but cannot move a
heart. Perfunctory service can never
produce life. The finest equipment
will not give the results that mere
hands will do if the heart is not in it.
Church buildings, school paraphrena-
liza, fine organ and ever device that
minds eager to serve the next gener-
alton have produced may fail where
the bare country meeting house, the
sod hut of the prairie or a Saliva
ton Army Hall sends flaming souls
out to light all the earth. God does
use all this modern machinery but
He must have the man first. Possibly
Elisha was trying to teach
Gehazi needed lesson knowing well
the result and his own plan For he
came hours after the day was done
hurrying thru the darkness that he
might save. One can imagine the
anxiety Of the Father who had come
to the silent and empty house from
the field who now kept vigil with the
dead Then while he and his wife
prayed together below, in that upper
room Elisha fought death and won,
for God could use a man where a staff
was as dead as the child. But there
is a limit to the prophets work. God
gives life but parents give care. The
boy was restored to his Mother and
the night was turned into JOY.
But suppose there has been no
response? To lust a Cody home

WHEN THE HEAD IS BOWED.

Into that joyous home came the

straying feet and eager interest in all
that is going on, the boy must follow

the hot sun smote fercely and sent
him like a wilted flower to that haven
of comfort, a mothers lap. There was

remedies brought no relief, so that

had asked nothing from God and the
boy had been gift Of His grace to
her-certainly the God Of goodness
would not mock her in such fashion
and she held her faith in Him thru
all the weary miles. In her hour of
grief she was aware of the under
meath arms and took refuge in the
eternal God. There is always hope
for such Z soul and even in sorrows
nigh there cometh a song. Presently
she came into sight of Carmel and

altar. This followed banquet by the
HAT in the Ring Flying Squadron when
Captain Rickenbacker commanded it.
Miss Janis had sung and danced to keep
up the spirits of the boys Of the squadron.
1t seemed for time as though Miss Janis
would move Eddie away from his bache-
lorhood-but she didn't.
And there were others, many, many Of
them. What follows shows how insecure
is any bachelors foothold-no matter
how hard he has tried to keep his heart
ahead of Cupid or how often he says to
himself, 81 won't! By jingo, no woman
can tie and throw mep'
A full ten years ago the net that was
to drop over Eddie's at last willing and
eager head was already prepared. He
was then on a tour of the Pacific Coast,
a pink-faced STRIPPING, the tales of whose
daring driving had preceded him.
There he first met Mrs. Durant. A
most casual meeting it was. Hers was
one of group of lovely California faces
that were charming, but whose charm, he
would have avoided. For, mark you,
Eddie Rickenbacker was a serious young
man even then, as behooved one who
had the responsibility of being the head
of a family. For he had been the head
of his family since his father died. He
had wanted to become an artist, but he
never got farther than learning to carve
designs and letters on tombstones. The
one piece of professional work he did was
to carve the inscription on his fathers
tombstone. They who stop before it in
Columbus Cemetery say it is an exceed
ingly good bit of tombstone cutting.
Life had been very earnest after that.
He was the devoted son of a doting
mother. When he returned from the war
the crowds on the dock formed a gaping
semicircle to stare at Eddie Ricken-
hackers greeting of his sweetheart. For
it had been wirelessed that she would
meet him as he crossed the gangplank

my sweetheart" said the captain as
he swung her off her feet in an enormous
hug. The lovely face encountered that
one day years back in Los Angeles had
been obscured, as had all other lovely
faces, by the wrinkled one in the bonnet,
for Eddie Rickenbacker.
Adelaide Durant and a group of smart
California women saw him again when he
returned to California. But only by key
hole staring through the door of a ban

drivers IN the world. He had seemed rear
less, was fearless perhaps, but that was
business followed because of the little old
mother and the pretty sister in the home
in Ohio. Then had come the terrible busi-
ness of war.
He had begun his war service as a
driver of General Pershing's automobile.
He had joined the Hat in the Ring SQUAD
ron. The squadron, more formally known
as the Nnety-fourth, had won the great
est number of aviation victories Of the
war. Captain Rickenbacker himself had
fred the last shot and brought down the
last enemy plane of the war.
He had entered the service as a heuten-
ant and had come out a commanding
officer. He had personally destroyed
twenty-six airplanes, the largest number
brought. down by any American bird of
war.
It was while he was in Detroit that Cap
tain Rickenbacker learned of the divorce
of the Durants In Los Angeles.
Mrs. Durant went to New York to try
to forget the sundered ties and the long
unhappiness that precedes such severing.
The shops, the theatre, the daily prone
made on Fifth avenue might bring her di-
version. On the avenue she met a serious
faced young man who looked at her twice,
three times before he was sure enough to
lift his hat.
MRS DurantT he asked.
A smile of recognition frightened the
face that was little sad. The prema-
turely gray hair had grown more gray.
She gave him her hand and asked him to
call. Though he hated "calls and tea and
all that silly stuff" he went. It was the
last day of the year. He invited her to
join himself and friend at the Conmo-
dore Hotel to dine and sup and see the
old year out.

France.
Bue the next day there was no need
for keyhole peeping. There was a great
demonstration for the returned hero. AS
much of Los Angeles as could get into
the reception hall went to press Eddie
Rickenbacker's hand.
Clifford Durant, the multimillionaire
motorist, and his wife gave large house
party. Captain Rickenbacker was
guest. Mrs Durant invited four, five,
six Los Angeles beauties to the house
party Quite openly she executed the
manouevres of matchmaker. One after
another she flung the enchanting maids
at his head. To her surprise they re-
bounded.
"What a man." she sighed. "And I
have selected girls of every type. II he
liked blonde there was Alyssa. If he
preferred a brunette Maud is perfect.
Millie is petite and Mary is stately. Julia
is modern and Flora is a positive Kate
Greenaway. What is the matter? Why
have failed?"
When she would have led the conversa-
ton to marriage he talked to her gravely
of that time six or eight years hence at
most when he believed there would be a
six-hour air service to London. And of
his own hope to some time fly across the
Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to
Toxic with a short stop at Honolulu.
"Give 1t up," growled her husband.
"You can't marry Rickenbacker off"
So Eddie Rickenbacker, in matter of
hearts seeming invulnerable, went his
way. The California coquettes gathered
their skirts about their ankles and ceased
talking of what he wouldn't do ard re-
peated the story of his achievements.
Before he had become an American ace

that crowning adventure of life, falling

1t was when Captain Rickenbacker ws

not ashamed to say he feared the perils q

Good gracious, Eddie. You, the col

"To the woman whose love / am Z,
mckiest man alive to win-Adelaide
Durant."
So their engagement leaked out.
But because of the bridegroom's
elects quiet tastes and his fancee's
amiable concurrence in them, the en-
gagement has been known to but few
friends.
True, the especially observant

The apartments large windows over

That will be the home Of the Amer

To a friend Mrs. Durant, who Is
soon to be Mrs. Rickenbacker, said:

has finally been brought down himself.
He will marry in New York about the
middle of this month Mrs. Adelaide Du-
rant, who was until not so long ago the
wife of the equally well-known "Clif"
Durant. Durant ran Eddie close sec
ond for racing honors on the speed tracks.
He did win the Liberty Sweepstakes at
indianapolis. Very wealthy, Durant
found his pleasure in the same thrills
by which Rickenbacker made his living.
The former Mrs. Durant, used as she is
to the excitement of being speed en-
thusiast's wife, will not miss any of the
old-time excitement after she marries the
American ACE of Aces"
The Durant marriage, which had long
been an unhappy one, ended in divorce in
Los Angeles last year. Mrs: Durant
comes of very excellent family and is
a conspicuous figure in the fashionable
society of Los Angeles and of Oakland.
The news of the approaching marriage
of the famous automobilist will come as
a surprise even to most of his closest
friends. They had long accepted his own
verdict of Interchangeable bachelorhood.
Eddie has long been hero and, it is no
secret, could have had his pick from a
whole garden of girls.
There was very lovely Irene Tam, the
actress, who telegraphed him in 1915: 81
love speed and admire endeavor. IL you
will stop racing, you may consider this
n leap-year proposal" To which Ricken-
backer, who was not yet a captain, tele-
graphed this reply: "Your very consider
ate telegram received, but unfortunately
! cannot abide by your wish. A woman
is only a woman. My soul mate Is an
aeroplane."
While he was soaring in the skies above
France, winging one plane after another,
his friends in America were amazed and
amused to hear that he had been quietly
married in Paris to Priscilla Dean, another
lovely actress. They even cabled their
congratulations. But when Eddie re-
turned to this country there was no bride
with him.
"Where's your wife?" they asked. 81
haven't any," he answered.
Didn't you marry Miss Priscilla
Dean?"
"Never saw her. Never will, IL I can
help it," the ace replied, somewhat un-
gallantly. And so afraid was he that he
might not be able to keep his word that
he left a hotel in Seattle by one door at
the precise moment that Miss Dean came
in another.
Then there was the persistent rumor
that he would conduct Elsie Janis TO the

Eddie Rlckenbacker,

the automobile tracks and
later a most daring aviator

backer has driven faster
than any other automobilist
in the world, and has shot
more German warplanes
out of the sky than any
other American, but al
though he has tried hard
enough, he could not drive
fast enough or fly high
enough to escape Cupid.
Love has at last caught up
with Eddie's heart, even
though he had declared that
never would he surrender
it to any woman.

Mastery Engravings
In Wood by Lepere

A second division of the great Lotz-
Brissonneau collection OF prints by
Auguste Lepere. this one devoted to the
wood engravings, lbs been placed on
view in the Knoe4ler Galleries. M.
Lotz- -Brossonneau was the friend and
cataloguer of this artists work, and the
prints he secured for his own collec-
tion Showed the very finest aspects of
Lepere's art
Lepere was great in anything he
touched. but particularly distinguished
in his wood engravings. He is one of
those who may be said to have lifted
wood engraving out of commercialdom
into the arts, and certainly his work
HAY safely be placed beside the best
copper plate engraving. 1t is wonder
full in tonal value and at the same
time sparkling in color. Lepere seems
superbly native and does the Notre
Dame with religious solemnity that
only a Frenchman could accomplish.
The various views OF the Seine, of the
open air summer restaurants, of the
great architectural monuments, OF the
harvesters in the fields, are eloquently
rendered.
OF Lepere Martin Harvey of London
has said: "As an engraver on wood
working from his own invention with
an extraordinary command of technique,
and uniting force and delicacy in the
greatest richness of pictorial invention
he was known-for many years before he
won fame as an etcher. His west front
of the Cathedral Of Rouen and Paris
Sous la Neige,' that wonderful view seen
in morning light from the tower Of St
Gervais, are masterpieces OF wood en-
craving, astounding in their rendering
of delicate intermlngling tones"

Two Interesting Degas
Exhibitions Available

The time for the free public exhibi-
ton Of drawings, prints and bronzes by
Degas at the Grolier Club has been
extended through the week ending
March As. and this exhibition, together
with the Degas collection OF paintings
and pastols IN tho Durand- Ruei Gal
leties. gives the student an opportunity
TO study this master that should not be
missed
In the Durand-Ruel Galleries there
are several early works, such as the
"Busta d'homme," the Portrait of a
Man in the Degas Studio" and .he "Por-
trait OF NJ Duranty" that show the
immense thoroughness OF study upon
which Degas was afterward to build his
impressive virtuoslty. Students of these
days are altogether apt to regard the
amazing dexterities OF the later Degas
as an excuse for their own slapdash
work. instead Of reading in them the
moral that the equipment Of an artist
includes everything that II is possible
foe ar artist to know.
The Portrait of NJ. Duranty" Is an
especially lively essay. with apparently
everything done correctly at the first
touch. although connoisseurs will re-
call the other and even more highly

at last we have the break with the

same time we find that he has brought
into his art the exquisite feeling, the

marks the work Of the painter. 'Rous-

Great joy in the fullness OF life is

Wants Sea Pictures
Properly Painted

DEAR Mn. MCBRIDE:
/ read with a great deal OF interest
an article recently published In THE
NEW York HERALD relating to the abb
sence OF marine paintings. no records OF
which seem to exist In the large art
galleries of this great seaport city.
Quite recently wandered through the
Metropolitan Museum OF Art with the
hope OF finding a picture Of some relic
OF the clipper ship era, but after a dill
gent search Of about three hours was
compelled to leave the place in utter dis
gust. having found only picture OF a
canalboat tied TO a wharf in some re-
mote country place.
I have seen I'm the beer saloons and
sailors boarding houses and ship chand-
Ter stores pictures of ships under SAIL
with the flags blowing against the wind ;
others lying at their wharyes In the
most unshipshapo manner.
Not so long ago a painting of ship
was exhibited In the Pennsylvania Acad-
emy of Fine Arts which received honor
able mention. The ship was lying at
her wharf with her yards crossed Oh tho
after side Of the masts. This defect, of
course, was not noticed by tho average
observer. but had this been tho portrait
of man v In his Goat buttoncd down
his back I would fear for the life Of the
artist.
There are thousands OF men like my
self IN the city OF New York who have
sailed the seven seas and who would
be glad to visit picture galleries could
they sec pictures OF the sea and ships
properly painted.
. Many wealthy and intelligent mon in
this great city have had sea experience
and some have navigated their own, ves-
sells. but unless they have paintings OF
ships IN their own homes there arc none
20 be found which might recall and re-
vlve the thrilling experiences they may
have encountered at sea.
Therefore. permit me to praise Tors
NEW YORK HERALD for its criticism on
this subject. for II art galleries are for
the general public-and the United
States Ia seafaring netIon--we ought
to encourage In every way possible pic
torial expression OF American ships in
this, the largest seaport city in the
world. Very truly yours,
REGINALD FAY.
