Such people are unfortunate. Real love is a gift beyond compare. When you know how to love hon estly and beautifully and generously, you are in tune with life. Tou don't sound any jarring notes; you're pleas ant company. Naturally enough, folks gravitate toward you, and they real ise your charm and the radiantly beautiful gift you have to offer. And so—because you have the loveliest gift of the falrles-Mhe power to love— you attract the thing for which all of us lonely mortals yearn. Love comes to you because you radiate such sweetness that you warm friendship and liking into devotion, and devotion into beautiful love. Try radiating love throughout your life. Tou can see in a single day how much happiness can be won with a kindly, charitable, loving spirit, seek ing good and endeavoring to do good. Dear Martha Allen: Last summer while visiting I was introduced to a boy, about three years older than my self (I am 16). I was only there two days, so did not get to know him very well, though would like to be come better acquainted with him. He was jolly and seemed to be popular 1 with the young people. Of course I know I could not write to him, so what can 1 do? PUZZLED. My dear, there is nothing you can : do except hope you will meet again some time. Have you any mutual friends? Would you meet him if you should return to the same place for : your vacation this summer? If you knew him a little better you could invite him to come and see you, but I judge your acquaintance would hardly Justify such an invitation. July Giiest. Miss Betty Silliman of New York City will arrive about the first of Iuly to be the guest of Miss Dorothy Higgins for two weeks. Miss Higgins will give a tea for Miss Silliman on Wednesday, July 2, and a buffet dinner Thursday, July 3, at the home. Miss Jane Stewart wljl entertain at a dinner party Wednesday, July 9, at the Country club. ' s Chinese Maiden a Graduate Doctor s I___—_*1 —.'latchell Photo. Miss Ruth King. Graduate doctor of medicine from Rush Medical Institute in Chicago with two years’ lnterneship in Phila delphia and New York hospitals, Is the record of this winsome Chinese maiden, Miss Ruth King, who has I been a guest In the city for several days with Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Pardo. She is less than five feet tall and weighs legs than 100 pounds. Miss King is an American citizen, having been born in this country. Her family are well known residents of Salt I^ake City. Her mother is a Vassar graduate and a brother is well known as a newspaper writer. She speaks English as well as any one. and curously enough, when she goes to China, as she plans to do, she will have to learn the language of the people of her own race. Shanghai is where Miss King plans to practice her profession. She has specialized In eye work. Six other women were graduated from Rush during the year In which Miss King finished. There are women doctors in China, but the American schools are considered better, and Miss King will therefore have a better equip ment for her work than most of the native doctors. A woman in the medical profession is likely to have a larger practice In that country than in this, for the reason that women there prefer women physicians.' Doc tors and nurses In China speak Eng lish. Many of the subjects in medical school's are taught in the English language. Mrs. Johnson Has Unusual Experience at Missionary Meeting in Milwaukee Mr*. Edward Johnson who returned last week from a National Baptist Missionary convention In Milwaukee, departed Saturday for Denver to visit a son. She will return to Omaha In the fall. An unusual experience was Mrs. Johnson's In Milwaukee. During one of the cenventlon meet ings, she noticed a man whose face •looked familiar. At the same moment he saw her. Conversation later, re vealed the fact that he was one of the two ministers who performed the marriage ceremony for herself and the late Mr. Johnson, 33 years ago in Boston. Another attendant at the convention, a minister from Buffalo, had also been at Mrs. Johnson's wed ding. The three old friends lunched to gether the following day and enjoyed reminiscences of several decades ago. The Buffalo minister reminded Mrs. Johnson that he was the young man who boosted members of the wedding party up to the window to kiss the bride goodhy as the train hearing herself and husband pulled out for Omaha. Mrs. Johnson has always been deeply Interested In missionary work and may go to Honolulu in the fu ture to engage In active duties. r 1 " > Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” v_/ Why Madge Decided to Toll Harry Underwood Everything Harry Underwood's voice held the same drawling half mocking Intonation which I had heard so often In the old days when he. Lillian, Dicky and I used to he together so much. His use of the sobriquet, "Lady Fair.” which he invariably gives me. his flippant Inquiry as to the "hig Idea,” of my position at the wheel of the truck in the secret loft of this bootleggers' garage, were strictly In keeping with the phase of his per sonality with which I was most fa miliar. Blit no other detail of hi* appear ance fitted his nonchalant voice. He was breathing quickly, heavily, as if he had beep running a race. His clothing, usually the last word in fastidiousness, was rumpled, his hair tossed, his face flushed and a hand kerchief tied around his right hand was blood-stained. But save for the return of my baby boy after hie kidnapping and Dicky's restoration to me after his airplane accident, the sight of any living being never was more welcome to me than was my present glimpse of Harry Underwood. I had faced death and tasted Its bitterness in the last hour or two, and though I knew that Lillian’s husband must be involved—and that deeply—with the gang which had brought me to the garage, yet I was also certain that my personal safety was assured as lqng as his magnifi cent strength, his iron will and his fertile, resourceful brain were func tioning. The sudden release from the ter ror of the last hour was almost too much for me, however, and with a gasping, astonished cry of: "You' You!” I felt the room whirling around me and, wrapping my arms stoutly about the wheel In her last desperate clinging effort to keep from falling, I closed my eyes to the fantastically dancing walls and sank Inert against the wheel. I did not wholly lose conscious ness, but for o few seconds I was incapable of any movement, and my ears appeared to he the only func tioning part of my body. The next second I heard a hoarse inarticulate cry, followed by a low, tense cursing and the sound of rap Idly pounding feet toward me. Then I felt myself lifted bodily from the wheel, els sped tightly In strong, yet tender, arms and held there while the owner of the arms managed the awkward descent to the floor. By the time he had reached the floor I had come hack to complete consciousness, and I opened my eyes to see Harry Underwood's face changged as 1 had seen It but once or twice before in hts life. Gone completly was his usual cynical mask. His face contorted with rage, his eyes filled with wild anxiety made me realize the necessity for putting aside my own weakness and making an effort to calm him. I knew from Lillian how uncontrollable his temper was If he ever let It get away from him, and there was murderous rage In his face against the men who had so frightened me. "I—am—all—right,” I said and then at something els# beside anx iety flamed In his eyes, something 1 had seen before, and his arms tight ened around me. I put my hands against his chest and struggled away from him. "Please put me down." I said per emptorfly. "I’m perfectly able to stand.’’ He set me down Instantly, with a bitter, sardonic, little laugh. "And I’ve just about finished a man on ybur account.” he said som brely. "Not,” wit!*- sudden fierceness, "that the hound didn't need killing for daring to molest you, but most dames, some of them almost as easy to look at as you are, would have thanked me prettily.” I paid no attention to any of his speech, but the first sentence, "Oh. I gasped. "You can't mean you’ve killed a man!” "Not quite, worse luck." he return ed. His head was too thick. But that'a neither here nor there. The first thing is to get you on your way to where you're going. Would you mind telling me just what you're at any way? They tried to hand me some mess downstairs about your taking a girl and some fura to New York to turn the girl over to the police. There's a friend of hers on the truck and it makes It sort of awkward for me, but let me get the straight of it from you." Consciously or not. every word be trayed his leadership of the bootleg ging gang that had brjpught me to the garage. My blood chilled a bit at the revelation, although I had no rea son to expect anything else from a man so daring and unscrupulous as Harry Underwood. One thing I knew Instinctively how ever, deriving my knowledge from my long acquaintance with him. Boot legging would appeal to him, there was a sort of glamor—Robin Hood and the outdaws thing—about It, but that he would countenance anything like fur thievery was unthinkable. At the Westcheater-Blltmore Coun try club over the week end, purple topcoats and felt hats were favored for sports wear. Luscombe-Pool Misa Marjorie Alice Pool, (laugh ter of Mr. and Mr* H. J.
