French Furnaces Close

PARIS March 2s.-(By Associated Press. )-Statistics by the ministry of pub lie works show that 169 of the 21s blast furnaces in France have shut down. Of the 57 furnaces working 10 are in Lorraine and only II in the other industrial centers of France. About 70 had never been re- lighted since the war.
 Nearly 100 of these furnaces are idle for other reasons than the damage done in the war. Most of them lack coke. of which France normally consumes 1000 tons monthly large proportion of this fuel came from the Ruhr
 According to the official figures coke shipments from the Ruhr region are slow y increasing and Minister of Public Works LeTrocquer says he hopes by the end of the month 2,600 tons will be coming into France daily.

This wonderful artist, who has been
creating such sensation in Europe, has
a remarkable history. Her family was
one of the old institutions in Aragon.
While they were very wealthy the Carlists
wars brought them to poverty. Her
father, a Spanish hidalgo, died when
Raquel-was not yet ten years old. The
family had not the means to raise her,
and finally decided to place her in the
care of one of her aunts who was an
abbess in the convent at Figueras. The
abbess was charged with her education.
Here, in the old cloisters among the re-
ligious sisters, Raquel grew up. She was
a great favorite among the nuns, who
could not resist the sympathetic appeal of
her wonderfully mysterious eyes.
The Washington times., 1923-02-11

spread rapidly, until one day one OF her
admirers asked if she would not come
and sing in a concert which was being
given in one of the cafes of the quarter.
Raquel accepted and was paid for her
services the magnificent sum of two
pesetas.
From that time on her engagements be-
came numerous and she was always paid
the two pesetas. Raquel Meller, the little
singing girl in Barcelona, never dreamed
at that time, when she was receiving two
pesetas a night for her singing, that in
a few years she would be a great artist
drawing the largest salary paid to any
one in a theatre in Paris.
At thirteen years of age Raquel made
her debut to the great public in little
cabaret in Valencia. Prom that time on
her success went on like wildfire. She was
engaged in all the large cities.
when she appeared in Madrid she at
tracted the attention of the King and
Queen. They became her great friends,
and to this day the Queens photograph,
affectionately inscribed to Raquel Meller,

She was carefully taught to embroider,
at which she developed exceptional skill.
Her voice, which even at that time had
great promise, was developed and she was
taught to sing the classics.
When little Raquel arrived at the age
when she could be made novitiate her
aunt, the abbess, thinging that a young
girl without fortune or protection would
be only too pleased to enter the convent,
went to her and spoke seriously of the re-
sponsibilities before her. She asked little
Raquel to take the vows; and it did not
seem strange that the girl did not answer,
for they were accustomed to her silence.
But the girl who was destined to be
the great artist had other ideas in her
mind. She did not fancy the life of
nun. She felt that different career was
waiting for her. While she seemed timid
and tractable, in reality she had much
courage and determination. 1t did not
take her long to make her decision.
The same day on which she was ap-
preached by her aunt she escaped from
the convent and went to make her life at

thing unforeseen had caused him to re-
main away. Day after day she waited for
her lover. But he did not come. But this
little Spanish Madame Butterfly did not
give up hope. Months passed and still no
word from her husband.
Then little stranger arrived little
girl-and in the love for her baby Raquel
forgot the injury done to her by the
father. Two years passed, and one day,
when the wound had healed, a large, pre-
tentious looking envelope, covered with
seals, arrived, addressed to her. She
opened it and found that it was from a
firm of lawyers telling her of the death
left to her.
Raquel Meller's second matrimonial ex-
perience was just as unsuccessful as the
first. When she met Gomez Carrillo she
was greatly impressed by his intense SEN
timentality, for he was one of the literary
lights of Spain and coulG sing his love
songs in prose in such a convincing man.
ner that he nearly arrived to be poet.
But Raquel found, after she had married
Carrillo, that this overabundance of sem
timentality could not be contained within
the marrow limits of the conjugal home.
1t spread out everywhere.
While Gomez Carrillo was generous in
his attentions to women outside his fam
lily, he developed an intense jealousy for
Raquel. Every night he stationed himself
in front of the door of her dressing room
and growled like an angry bulldog every
time any one would try to approach. For
more grave intrusions in his domestic cir
Gle he issued defiant challenges and fought
duels.
All this caused a great deal of sorrow
to Raquel Meller, who finally made the
decision to separate and apply for di-
vorce. This was soon granted and Raquel
felt happy again in her new-found free
dom. Gomez Carrillo sought solace in a
diplomatic career, being now connected
with the Argentine Legation at Paris.
Just after her divorce Raquel Meller
was engaged to turn film by William
Elliott, we'll known in the New York the
atrical world as producer, and this en-
gagement made another epoch in her
varied life. Raquel Meller did not know
any of the artists who were to act with
her. The first day she was in the studio
turning a scene, interested in her work,
when she looked up and saw young man
dressed as a Spanish grand seigneur, she
became almost paralyzed-for it must be

in to Control Her Own
Heart.
PARIS, Jan. 80.
THE gay night life Of the French
= capital must have novelties, new
sensations, new items to stimulate
les languid enthusiasm. And SO it is that
the popular craze of the moment is little
Senorita Raquel Meller.
This exquisite Spanish cabaret artistic
has suddenly sprung into fame. Not
many years ago she was street singer
in Barcelona, glad to receive her two
pesetas night-about fifty cents. Little
Raquel rose rapidly to local distinction
and found her way to the Spanish capital.
While she was in Madrid King Alfonso
became interested in her, and when
little later on she made her triumphal
entrance into Paris, it was with the added
halo of glory of approval of the very gay
and much talked about King of Spain.
But Raquel has a very susceptible
heart. She seems to be driven along
blindly in her matrimonial career by the
spear-point of relentless Cupid.
In spite of the warnings of her level
head, her sentimental heart pushes her
headlong into matrimonial entanglements
which her better judgment warns her
against. And at the present moment this
newest stage favorite feels herself IRE
sistibly driven after two unhappy mar
riages to a new one with a man she feels
she ought not to marry
"While have cherished ideal of what
my true happiness in this world might
be-" said Raquel,t"I am constantly wag-
ing losing fight with Fate to gain that
which, it now seems, is never to be mine!
"But what is the use of trying? Just
now, when everything seemed to be going
all right, encounter what appears to me
the most formidable danger signal that
has ever shown itself on my life's high
way. l meet Andre Roanne. He is every
thing that is opposite to my ideal of what
a man should be. He is blonde-that in
itself should be enough-but he is very
young, too. Now, if l were to be asked
what my ideal of a man is, should say
that he must be very dark, his hair
touched with gray, a man well up in
years who has really lived and had ex-
perience. And, again, intelligence means
SO much to me in a man. And my poor
Andre, l regret to be compelled to say,
is not overburdened with deep knowledge.
"But all this does not matter. In spite
of all, love him. And loving him as
do, am blinded and would not want to
see, even if could, the warning light.
So fate has again turned the switch and

is always in a place of honor on her
dressing table.
1t is a strange thing that Raquel
Meller, the girl raised 50 carefully
under such strict religious influence,
made her first success singing risque
Spanish songs, the coarseness of
which makes the discussed French
songs look like nursery ditties.
Early in her career, when she was
fifteen, Raquel met a young Cuban
of nineteen Summers Of the family
of Santos, well to do in their coun-
try. Raquel fell desperately in love
with the handsome young man and
married him. They lived a dream
like existence for six months. One
day a cloud of sadness came over
the little love nest. Her husband
did not return.
But Rauuel thought that some
