Easter Week Widow Becomes
Dublin's First Woman Mayor

Silver-haired Mrs. Tom Clarke.
newly-elected Lord Mayor of Dub
lin and first woman to hold the office,
is the widow of a Fenian rebel who
was executed by a British firing
squad for being a ringleader in the
Inflated Irish rebellion of Easter
Week, 1916. Mrs. Clarke herself
served a term in an English prison
for her leadership of women's or
CARNATIONS in the fight against the
British prior to the treaty of 1922.
A staunch supporter of Premier
cannon de Valera, Mrs. Clarke de-
clined to permit retiring Lord
Mayor Alfred Byrne to invest her
with the historic mayoral chain of
office because it carried a medallion
of King William of Orange, the
British monarch who is hailed by
North Ireland Orangemen as their
hero. Instead. Mrs. Clarke was in
vested with the small chain of Office
that bears no British insignia.
De Valera's party had been try
ing ever since it came into power
seven years ago to secure the may
orally. The victory in the person
of Mrs. Clarke came only through
the help of dapper Mayor Byrne,
who cast his vote for the Easter
Week widow when the regular bal
loting ended in tie. The citation of
the Republicans, however. may be
!. somewhat tempered by the fact that
Mrs. Clarke has not proved in the
past-an unfailing supporter. When
she believed the Fianna Fail in the
wrong, she has been outspoken in
her criticisms.

classmate, travelling in England
one summer, had brought the mi
mute silver token from an old sill
versmith whose shop stood near
the bridge beyond the great
church.
Guard it, Sarah Anne" she had
said. "It stands for luck-or at
least protection"
She fingered the good luck piece.
Luck? She had been comfortably
happy in her hypothesis of a world
until lately No miracles or orchids
or headline happenings, though.
The flute and the clarinet were
weaving a tapestry of sound now,
and the low voices in the dining
room grew quiet. Her thoughts
patterned themselves to the music.
She had watched doors opening,
heard them swing shut. She was
not tickle, she reminded herself.
After all, she had reserved the best
seat in her mental gallery for
Jack all these years. But she
wished she knew why Bob had sat
down in it as soon as Jack
stood up.
The little imp, so slippery and
small, slipped through her fingers.
She reached for it, but it went on
ahead. There was a crack in the
floor and it disappeared. She gazed
at the spot curiously. Her good
luck token was getting away.
Well, a waiter would salvage it.

tendant reached the table Lynn
was back. He hurriedly placed
some silver on the table and
reached for her arm.
Were sort of hurrying, my
sweet. That man whom you don't
like and I don't like is around"
The car ate up the miles, and
the motor hummed against the
wind and the rain. But Sarah Anne
was thinking that maybe by now
Bob was married to Bernice. May

had been. If only she need never
face anyone. If she could roll down
the night, never finding morning

on rough, uneven country road.

asked.

mind, do you?"
I'm afraid I do. It's dark and

Sorry. Hold on now. The next

It was. The car shot from side
to side of the road. Finally Lynn
plunged aside, stopped, switched
off the lights. We're here"

Merely because she wanted tc

hall. I'm as free tonight as the air

When Lynn brought her the
wraps she laughed lightly Lynn

Now if the thunder would crash,

clouds would burst, she might have
a very enjoyable evening. She
would be gay! She might even be
flirtatious. Why not? Nothing
meant anything to man, anyway.
She would make blacklist and on

voices, impudent grins. She would
give four stars to any of them who
drove airplanes instead of chrom-

stars for ineligibility.

a hotel dining room, when Lynn
spoke in guarded voice. Sarah
Anne, there are four men at a cor

tight, while I pretend to leave. I'll

Sarah Anne, in that moment,
was not conscious that she was
picking up the thread of the
events of the night when Lynns
car had disappeared, Punk Ed
wards had broken into the par
sonage, and she and Bob had been
drugged. She merely knew that
Lynn's life held excitement around
its fringes.
Sitting in the hotel dining room,
listening to an orchestra that sent
a lifting, happy song across the
candle-lighted tables, Sarah Anne
felt curiously at peace. 1t was a

AS BOB became better he grew

Sarah Anne discovered that he haC
been everywhere. He had gone tc
boarding school in England, hao
two years at Princeton before the
aviation school, and he had met
the Duke of Windsor twice when
the duke was the king. Once, as a
bow. he had visited at the White
House with his father for a night.

tea-time, Bernice came. She was
wearing navy suit with white
pioue accents, and her pillboX hat
was crisp pique, too. Over the brief
suit Jacket she had thrown a cape
of silver fox.
Sarah Anne, coming to the
veranda with a dish of lemon rings
spiced with cloves, saw her, and
heard the silvery voice say:
Darling, you're nearly well!
How heavenly! And Bob, dear,
please, I'd like a preacher to say
some magic words. Now!"
