When Georgette went on tour with Norma

gay old King George was then on the throne
and witnessed the performance
Afterwards the Kings chamberlain in
sent her with a beautiful emerald ring as a
mark of his admiration Georgette supposed
that the presentation would be very formal
affair and asked how she should dress for It.
The chamberlain, with amused EXPIRES
sion, said that it didn't much matter how she
dressed and that the proceedings would be of
very intimate. rather than dgnified character.
At the end the King would present her with
an emerald ring which she could wear and
everybody would know how she had been hon

understood His Majesty's intentions

cried angrily
Georgette has given some details of how
the Silver Tassel amused the sad poet by her
pranks. Once she dropped pine needles down
his back, a familiarity which Georgette says
she would never have ventured upon.
Eight years after Silver Tassel visited the
Maeterlinck home she became the poets wife
by formal marriage.

Of The Blue Bird" there. II proved fully as
great a success there as 1t had in Russia. II
brought great financial return TO Maeter-
Hnck Upon this success was mainly based
the very comfortable fortune which the poet
has enjoyed ever since.
The production Of THE Blue Bird" played
a fatal part in Georgette's tragedy. During
the rehearsals Maeterlincks attention was at
tracted by a pretty but very insignificant
actress who played the unpleasant little part
of "Cold-in- the Head Maeterlinck remarked
10 Gcorgette that she cute little thing
and Gcorgcttc always eager 10 please him,
asked the girl To lunch with them. They called
her Silver Tasse' after a hat she wore.
The girls name was Renee Dahon. She had
lunch with them several times and that appa-
rently was the end Of the episode.
Several years later Maeterlinck suffered a
spell Of very severe depression following the
death of his mother and-ether distressing
events. Georgette, always eager to contribute
to his comfort and happiness tried several
ways Of dverting him but without success.
Then she thought of little Renee Dahon, Cold
in-the- Head and asked if he would not like
to have her pay them a visit. The poet said
that she might try that.
That was the turning point in Georgette's
tragedy. Renee accepted the invitation and
was remarkably successful in driving away
the poets gloom She was asked to stay an
other week. and did so. In fact. she stayed on
and on until she became his wife. What was
intended to be a short visit became lifelong
stay
Gcorgette was Of course compelled TO seek
another home The happiness play had thus

for herself But her father, a conservative
man, was Mortified at her proposal To put
an end 20 her ridiculous ambition as he
considered it - he found husband for her.
The proposed husband was unknown TO
Gcorgette and scarcely known TO her father.
The circumstances distressed her, hut when
she thought it over she saw it offered her the
way to liberty. She stipulated that she must
have a brief interview alone with her fiance

But as soon as they went to Housekeeping
the husband showed intention of letting
Georgette be wife in name only She fought
him off in many a desperate struggle. He
locked her up in his house. as he had right
to do, and used all the force he could with her.
Eventually she found a chance TO run away
from her husband and was hidden by friends
She never returned 10 him.
Then she trained as an operate singer

She received much encouragement from the

And so ended one Of the greatest TRACE
dies Of our time in the world Of art and lit

AS a very young girl-about 16-she fell
in love with Maurice Maeterlinck, 1.-The Bel
gian Shakespeare" She loved him primarily
for his writing just as Elizabeth Barrett once
loved Robert Browning
A few years later they were united. The
nglish-speaking world long supposed they
were married and she was called Madame
Maeterlinck. He would have married her.
but she wished TO make a complete sacrifice
OF herself for him.
After their union his plays and poems be-
came more brilliant and successful. Georgette
had the power of writing in the Maeternck
style more perfectly than Maeterlinck him
self Perhaps she was not his equal in crea-
tion and Imagination. but his works when
they had passed through her hands were
more successful than without her help
For eighteen years they labored together,
gathering wealth for the master. Inspired by
love Georgette performed miracles for him.
She transformed herself into a speaking
actress on the spot. although not trained for IT,

"Maeterlinck," said Maurice
Leblanc, shows poetic inspiration
not surpassed by any living man.
Not even Shakespeare at his
noblest-not even Shakespeare in
'Hamlet'-is more wonderful He
reveals our hidden souls and sug-
gests things than can never be
described"
Maurice Leblanc talked so elo-
quently that little Georgette fell
in love with Maeterlinck on the
spot. She was then as already
stated about sixteen years old.

she writes 1T was always a
spiritual marriage of high souls
that dreamed of, a union in which
love was truly divine, love
