Mdivani early that morning as he bent over my
deck chair. He smiled just as if he were wait
ing there on the sun deck for me by appointment.
And he had interested air about him, as if he
were familiar with every move | had made since
boarding the Mauritania in New York the night
before
Il couldn't bear the thought of your going so
far away from me- were Serges first words
Away from you l repeated, astonished by
his intimacy.
That was how his voice had sounded when he
telephoned me at three o'clock that morning When
/ had thought he was calling from New York and
to my sleepy query he had answered I'm not in
New York. I'm on this boat Uith yOut"
Then he changed his tone to one OF bovish en-
thusiasm, which was completely disarmng, and
quickly explained that his father, General Mdivani
former alde-de-camp 10 the Car of Russia had
cabed him 10 come 20 Paris immediately Wasn't
1t miracle that at the very last minute he had
been able to get accommodations on the same boat
with me? Yes, wasn't it, A coincidenceLwhen I
remembered that he had been with the party of
friends who had come aboard to wish me bon
voyage and remained until sailing timel
He had hoped 10 see me again after the shin
sailed; he had looked everywhere ne said Please
believe that he had not Intentionally disturbed me

marked by recent comb His eyes danced as he
looked at me and his voice was provocative. It's
warm tone had returned-unmistakable now.
Serge, why are you doing this foolish thing?"
| came directly to the point
What do you mean" he smiled frtatiously.
"You should not follow me! l suspect that
you've planned this entire trip deliberately. Too
many condolences"
He did not deny my accusation but seemed to
enjoy it immensely.
AS he sat on the, next deck chair, which l real
lied he had reserved because it was next TO mine
l noticed again how truly handsome he was in his
wel-made flannes. Lean and brown and muscu-
lar Every woman on deck looked enviously my
way
The lights danced in his eyes and he bent
nearer.
You'll see-my father will meet us in Paris
But you're right. l did follow you
Then his voice became lower as he said:
Il know it isn't time to tell you ths-when you
still have your memories of someone else But I'm
willing to wait-wait until you will listen TO me-
I'll wait if it takes half my life and I'll be patient
because l understand
The first moment saw you on the screen
knew that you were the woman for me. When
met yon | realized that l would follow you that
no obstacle could keep me from you
His words poured forth, could not turn away
He was so intense, magnetic in his earnestness 1t
seemed that he had restrained himself too long
keeping silent around the edges of my life. He
could wait no longer
With sudden clearess | remembered things my
mother had said about Serge Mdivani About his
family. l recalled her reports freshly now and

Serge the oldest
of five children of the Russian general and his
Polish wife, famous for her beauty. During
the darkest days of the Russian Revolution the
family escaped from their estate in Georgia
and went as refugees to Paris. They had left
behind all their belongings except some
Jewels and started to struggle for existence anew
Of course, their plight had been no different from
that encountered by hundreds of other refugees
faced with poverty.
But this family-three boys and TIVE girls-had
weapons of luck and great personal charm. They
had gone far, and would go further. Alexis, the
younger brother, was then a student at Cambridge.
The family had sacrificed some of its jewels for his
tution-and even though Serge and his handsome
brother, David, had worked in the California oil
fields they accepted and well liked in the
wealthy play set Of the picture colony They were
extremely charming and even better looking than
any of the male picture stars!
At first the emotional confession startled me.
1t was SO beyond my imagination that any man
would dare hope to match the glory of my love
for Rudolph Valentino! Why, hadn't had a
scious thought Of becoming interested in any other
man! And here was Serge Mdivani, saying he
would be patient, that he understood. Indeed.
But why bother to explain all that to this per-
sistent, charming, romantic-looking young man?
l looked past his adoring eyes watched the
drenched ocean and astonished myself by wonder
ing if there wasn't some sure way to put an end
to grieving for someone who has gone There
should be some way to stop memories from de-
stroying my life, reasoned, since had to live it!
If only could care again-that would be the way
to heal my wound NA.|'N
Serge was determined to discourage my serious
mood. He became so very gay and dared me to
change to playclothes and meet him in the gym
nasium. | accepted his challenge and we spent the
rest of the morning together. We lunched and
played SWITCHBOARD and after dinner, we stroed

the Presidents proposal for the ap-
pointment of three-man committees

Ing to labor's participation in the war
effort constitutes what might be
called a labor armistice, but falls far
short of a rapprochement between
the A. F. of L. and the c. 10.
In effect, the two wings of labor
have agreed to call off their inter-

OF the greater hostilitieS in which the
Nation is involved What is to follow
after that is any mans guess.
The Presidents proposal was ad-

then shifting their position 80 Is TO
hold the stems under their feet, went
on with their meal"
A reader Of this column, while visiting
friends In the spring, watched gold
flnches feasting away on something In
the lawn.
Examining this patch later, he dis
covered that 1t was chickweed they
were after.
Perhaps this Is one good reason why
too much bother is made over chick
weed by many persons who like q good
lawn.
While 1t is true that chickweed is q
nuisance, and ought to be got rid of.
somehow, maybe 1t is Just as we'll to give
the goldfnches a chance at it.
In this way the nuisance may be
much mitigated, while at the same time
some Of the best of our birds will be
given a favorite food
1t Is a question whether many lawn
makers do not do too much paving
around over their grass good lawn
ought not to be such a difficult matter
as 1t often seems. Perhaps by using
plenty Of seed, and trying to outsmart
the various weeds simply by smothering
them with the best types of grass plants,
we might have fairly good lawns with
out perpetually trying to uproot all the
crabgrass and chickweed.
Between these two, a lawn will look
bare the year around, If too much time
Is spent on trying to oust them The
secret may lie-we are not sure-in
planting two or three times as much
grass seed, both in the spring and fall,
as one commonly thinks enough. In
this way. at least in theory, Cand we
hope IN practice, the unwanted weeds
are forced out through sheer luxuriance
OF desirable grasses If such a scheme
is tried, care must be taken to keep the
newly planted lawn we'll watered at all
times, not just sprinkle, but a good
soaking, every other day.
The finch family is the largest of all
the bird families More than a thou
sand species exist the world around. The
United States has about 200 species in
Guiding some of the finest of all the
birds, the various buntings, gfossbeaks,
the cardinal, the beautiful purple finch,
the goldfinch, snow bunting, and all the
sparrows.
The towhee, a favorite hereabouts.
also is a finch.
The indigo bunting, often seen in
suburban communities, belongs to the
group.
Ornithologists have estimated that the
f1nches save more than slOO 900 900 a
year for the farmers of the Country.
In this desirable result the humble
English sparrow has part. although
some persons would not be willing to
admit it.
Young sparrows of all species, exclu-
sively insectivorous until August at that
time take to eating weed seeds, which
have just ripened.
In this way, the finches put America in
their debt. and will continue to do so as
long as agriculture exists.
