Maria Wodzinska, daughter OF q count,
she having been his pupil. They became
engaged, but the affair was broken on
by her father because Of Chopins in

Chopin, already famous, met George

Of his broken engagement to Maria
Wodzinska had fallen. His friend List
introduced them.
Chopin's immediate reaction was very

Nevertheless, they were soon good

Chopin, 1t must be remembered, was

very juncture he received from George
Sand, as Karemine says, the sympathy
of a great soul, free, ardent and ready
to love-" He had not known such love,
nor yet met with q heart equal to his
own.
It is not hard to envision the woman

credit.
Lupe has the energy Of a young ter

only in extreme youth-softly glowing,

cised to a degree. She is innocent OF
stays, and is quite likely to drop her
one garment in her studio dressing room
with all the naive candor of an islander,
to the amaze of intervieWers.
Diplomacy is far away from Lupes

The devotion Of a father for his son
ended tragically recently. The papers
did not print the story. The father
had purchased tickets and made ar
rangementS to send his son abroad for
10 weeks. It was to be the youngster'S
first trip. The ship was to sail at mid
night. The dad was more excited,
perhaps, at the prospect of his son Wis
iting Europe than the boy himself. All
day the parent rushed about the city
buying articles necessary to the boys
happiness. Also he had invited a group
of friends for farewell dinner to be
given at o'clock.
Rather tired at S o'clock, the father
went to his club to rest. Two business
friends were with him. Just before din
ner time the three emerged from the
building and started down the steps.
AS they reached the pavement the father
snatched at his breast and fell. His
friends picked him up and called a
cab, which sped toward the nearest
hospital.
Upon their reaching the institution
a doctor examined the victim and pro-
nounced him dead. OF course the trip
never materialized and what were to be
festivities turned out to be a tragedy.

"I found our friend, George Sand, in

after dinner at the fireSide In q great,
lonely room," said Honore de Balzac
once, after visit to the authoreSs'
Chateau Of Nohant.
"She had on pretty yellow slippers
trimmed with fringe, smart stockings
and red trousers She has not got
single gray hair, in spite of her ter
rible troubles: her swarthy complexion
has not changed; her fine eyes are just
as brilliant"
Balzac went on: "She Is not low
able she Is a bachelor, an artist;
she is great, devoted, generous, chaste;
she has mans features; ergo, she Is
not woman"
This description of the black-haired
author of "Consuelo" and many other
books, enables us to understand Fred
eric Chopin's love for her.
The composer was himself slender
and delicate, fair and pale. He was
graceful and charming and more felni-
nine than George Sand, with a clinging
nature, where she was confident and
strong.

where men have turned to brunettes
