...forgotten was meteoric. In the year before the War he formed his first Cabinet and as Premier boldly forced through unpopular legislation lengthening the term of French military service. This gave la Patrie immeasurably better trained young men to shoulder her rifles and fire her 753 when the War broke. In those days M. Barthou was one of the first middle-aged statesmen to be hailed as "The Savior of France"- and to lose his soldier...

Manhattan-born (1896), cosmopolitanly educated (she studied music in Paris, dancing at the Duncan School there), a War veteran (she worked in the British Red Cross until her health broke), she has followed her sailor husband. Commander Ellis S. Stone, to the West Indies, Europe, China, is now stationed with him in Washington, D.C. Shapely, sprightly, a crackling talker, she has produced, besides a daughter, five books by the way (others: Letters to a Djinn, The Heaven and Earth of Dona...
