ONCE UPON JULY 18th


Of the six who now stand out as
the greatest American writer's of the
10Th century-Emerson, Thoreau,
Hawthorne, Melville, Whitman and
Twain, only the latter ever appeared
in best-seller lists. Emerson had to
make a living lecturing. Thoreau
published two books in his lifetime,
and had to pay the cost of publishing
both. One, "a Week on the Concord
and Merricam Rivers" in four years
after publication, sold 219 copies!
walden" came out in 1854 in an edi-
ton of 1000 copies; and it was eight
years before there was another print
ing.
Ihoreau, who was born 121 years
ago today, was 81 when his master
piece, walden" was published. He
was % when he took up the hermit
like existence at Walden Pond, near
Concord, Massachusetts, of which the
book is the fruit. For two years he
lived at a total cost of $2812 IL in A
cottage he built himself, and devoted
homself to botanizing, observing ami
NAL habits exulting in natures wond-
ers, reading, meditating, and feeling
very superior to the mass of men
who lead lives of quiet desperation.
All this is in walden" one of the 20
greatest American books.
This is an appropriate time to quote
a Thoreau observation made in July
of the year walden" appeared:
1.-THE law will never make men
free; it is men who have got to make
the law free. They are the lovers of
law and order who observe the law
when the government breaks it"

Finding Herself at 10 Without Husband or
a Country, Madame Lynch Left Europe
With South American Dictator.

bishop Born within sound Of the
Shandon bells, she went to school in
France. mastered several languages
and showed talent as q musician
At 16 she eloped with q French
lieutenant, Xavier Quatrefages. and
was married to him in England. AS
his wife she accompanied him to
post in Algiers. There occurred the
first Of many incidents which, today,
leads q daughter-i n-law to describe
her as unfortunate"
HER husbands colonel became in
fatuated with her. A Russian
oficer. more gallant than her hus-
band. challenged the French colonel
to duel and killed him. As a re-
suit Of this incident Elisa found her
self In a weird marital tangle.
1t. Quatrefages made haste to dis
engage himself from scandal by filing
q claim before the French courts in
which he denied that Elisa Lynch was
his wife. French marriage laws were
strict and, as he pointed out, he had
not complied with those laws. He
had not. in fact, complied with any
detail Of French marriage laws. I'm
der the circumstances, the courts
confirmed his claim. The Catholic
church moved less swiftly, but the
church had approved the French
marriage laws and could not consist
emily reverse itself. The marriage Of
Xavier Quatrefages was annuled.
Elisa Lynch. or Ella as she was
known to intimates, sought a similar
annulment in England and was re-
fused. She lost her British citizen
ship by marrying a Frenchman. The
fact that she lost her French citizen
ship when her husbands marriage
was annuled did not restore her
British rights. In England they still
maintained she was married to him,
The church ruled there was an i'm
pediment to remarriase because she
was married under British law.
Xavier Quatrefages married again.
but Elisa Lynch at 10 was married,

At this period, bewildered and dis
illusioned, she met Francisco Lopez,
son Of Paraguay's dictator, ana the
first Paraguayan Of importance to
visit Europe. Short. ugly, crude in
manner and with q saudy taste in
uniforms, Lopez was at q grave dis
advantage in Paris, where he came
as an almost idolatrous worshiper
Of Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon III
was on the throne and had Just mar
ried Mile. de Montijo. destined for
fame as the Empress Eugene.
ELISA LYNCH. the example Of Eu-
genie before her, recognized no
obstacles Q clever woman might not
surmount. She took Lopez in hand,
fed his vanity and coached him in the
moves necessary to establish himself.

incidentally, Miss Boardman, al
though born a Buckeye" has made
Washington her home for at least IS
years, when her family moved to this
city. Naturally, we claim her as our
own. and from the time the Committee
on Reorganization met at her fathers
home, in 1905, she has been an ardent
worker, not only for the national So
ciety, but for the District chaper as

for aiding in obtaining congressional
action, giving the land for the north
building that faces E street, which
was opened in 1929 as q memorial to
the women Of the World War and
which houses the ofhces Of the Dis
trict chapter. In this connection
Miss Boardman was also instrumental
in getting Congress to appropriate

to complete the work.

William e. oAHtc4 l,
! Washington resident and
wv author Of Woman on
Horseback" listed currently
among the 10 best sellers by Readers
Digest. got the thrill of his writing
career the other day when he opened a
packet and found gorgeously wrought
gold crucifix and rosary which belonged
to Elisa Lynch, heroine Of his book.
The gift was from Mrs. Maud
Lopez Raincia. daughter-in-law Of
Elisa Lynch, resident Of Santa Barbara,
Calf. A note from Mrs. Raincia
reads:
This little crucifix belonged to my
mother-in-law, Madame Elisa Lynch.
I beg Mr.. Barrett to accept it as a
token of appreciation Of his sympa-
thetic presentation Of the life Of that
unfortunate lady"
The word madame" Is the Para
guayan rendition of madame" and
is symbolic, in its way, Of Elisa
Lynch's remarkable career. She helped
shape the policies which changed
the destiny Of continent.
Described as an exceptionally beau
tiful woman, Elisa was born with
the blood Of history-makers in her
veins. Her uncle, Commodore Will
liam Boyle Crooke. was Lord Nelson's
vice admiral at the battle Of Trafal-
gar. Two other uncles we're magis-
, trates. One was Roman Catholic
