AN audacious Yankee, college bred
tall, broad.Shouldered determined, in
white hannels from head to foot-a
dashing tigure-lifted his hat to a
dark eyed Cuban girl as he passed her
on the plaza in Havana. She smiled
back at him. He stood still and out
stretched his hand. She came up to
him and took it. A motor ride and an
engagement followed-and now all
cuba Is discussing the scandal, not be.
cause 1t wasn't good match. but
because the Cuban girl violated the
most sacred and ancient customs of
her country by flirting with a stranger
on the public street, by motoring with
him without chaperon, and because
the Yankee, instead of doing as Cuban
lovers do, openly disregarded the ira
dltlons and scored the marriage GUS

But for his hurried departure with
MS dark skinned bride on a honey

lover would have paid the penalty for
his folly and his audacity. It's the
