young men in this country-or at least
who was rich few short years ago.
Mr.. Mckeown is now interested in
mines and ranching near Patagonia and |

Mckeown was in Tucson with her hus-

coast. Now the report comes from San
Francisco that she is to join the Alice

qualities OF these stars would win?''

She saw the book, the new courage in
