Vandervelde had prevailed upon her to retain her own fashion of wearing her hair in plaits wound around her head, and the new maid had managed to soften the severity of the style and so heightened its effectiveness. A small string of black pearls was around her throat, and pendants of the same beautiful jewels hung from her ears. Berkeley Hayden started, and his eyes widened. Mrs.
M. Vandervelde, leader of the Labour Party in Belgium, has boldly and persistently asserted the right of the Belgian people to a share in the control of its eventual inheritance, but hitherto all the efforts of his colleagues have failed before the groups of capitalists who have acquired great monopolist rights in Congoland.
She thought him a very good-looking man, in his way, but rather old: say all of thirty: and Glenn Mitchell had been handsome, and romantic, and twenty. Young Mrs. Champneys, then, didn't respond to Mr. Berkeley Hayden's notice gratefully, pleasedly, flutteringly, as other young women and many older ones did. This one paid a more flattering attention to Mr. Jason Vandervelde than to him.
Vandervelde one evening, "I want you to tell me all you know about this Champneys business. Just exactly how does the affair stand?" Anne had been carried off by some American friends, the smart throng that had filled Mrs. Vandervelde's rooms had gone, and Hayden and his hostess had the big, softly lighted drawing-room to themselves.

The heart she was not supposed to possess stirred uncomfortably. She looked at Vandervelde questioningly. "You wish me to go?" "I leave that to you entirely," said he, uncomfortably.
The French Socialists and many Americans believe that he is practically a proletarian and should and can be included. The Socialist movement, on the whole, now stands with Kautsky and Vandervelde, and this is undoubtedly the correct position until the Socialists are near to political supremacy. At the last American Socialist Convention Mr.
The moderate Vandervelde also says that the Socialist program has been "formulated by or for the workingmen of large-scale industry." This may be true, but we are not as much interested to know who formulated the program of the movement as to understand its present aim.
Some of these discontented proletarians have taken the same view as Vandervelde their leader, and are now energetically engaged in protecting themselves along the line of the Yser; I am glad to say not altogether without success.
