IF her brother sister and social friends
Mrs. Helen Emery Aoki says that love
for the former house servant alone
guided her in her course This is her
own statement of her position and of
he events leading up to her marriage:
The great public clamor which has
followed the announcement Of my
marriage to GunjirO Aoki, native
f Japan, has forced me to come for
ward with a statement. not so much
for the purpose of defending my ac
ton as to correct erroneous impress
lions which have been scattered
broadcast since our engagement be-
anne known. At the outset I wish it
o be understood that I love Gunjiro
AoBi, have loved him for some time,
and sincerely hope to maintain my
owe for him, despite all that may be
aid or done, despite the slurs of the
small minded and petty individuals,
whether in Corte MADEIRA or else
where
THE only answer that l can make
% the countless questions which have
poured in on me is that I love him.
That to me is sufficient. 1 demand no
further argument, nor seek none.
Whether l am right or wrong in so
owing l do not know and, in my pres
ent state of mind. l do not care. I
love him.
Not Ignorant Of Step.
"The questions which have been
hurled at me in public print and by
ry neighbors and friends for the last
few weeks, l long ago asked and
answered myself. 1t was not as if /
was ignorant at the very beginning of
the consequences that would follow.

BE my lot, and yet l can but repeat
I love him. 1 realized fully the change
hat would come into my life. / re-
allied that my home life would be
estroyed. l realized that my family
ties would be severed-but l realized
o an even greater extent that my love
or him outweighed all these.

much a part Of the Japanese char

Il am but simply trying to answer
the arguments which have been offered
against my marriage to Mr.. Aoki-
that is. those arguments which / con-
sidered worthy of answering. Such
pleas as that he was not wealthy and
occupied a mental position; that he
lacked certain forms and customs,
certain educational advantages, 1 can
sweep by as petty. These may be
very important questions to those of
world more materialistic in it's trend
of thoughts than my own, but to me
these facts are no more important
than would be tile color of Mr.. Aoki's
necktie or the cut of his clothes.

At a meeting of the Dallas

Lorche, advertising manager of
A Harris & Co., of that city, in
an address on "The Practical
Side Of Advertising a Retail
Store" said among other things:
my experience is to use the
daily papers to the tune of about
IS per cent. of the yearly amount,
for, after all, advertising is moth.
ing more than live store news.
People are nOtinterested in what
you did last week or what you
will do the next but they are

right here that | consider ten

said that the law was not retro
