Tahiti. In the South Seas, 4 Place Of
Charm and Leisure.
Rarotonga gives you a kind Of fore
taste Of the whole charm and beauty Of
the south seas. 1t Is the appetizer, the
hors d'oeuvre. not the whole meal Ia
hiti is the whole thing, the real thing,
the thing one has dreamed about all
ones life, the thing which made Ste
venson leave Europe forever. All tellers
of fairy tales and all poets from Ho-
mer downward have always imagined
the existence Of certain islands which
were so full of magic and charm that
they turned man from his duty and
from all tasks, labor or occupation in
which he was engaged and held him
a willing captive who would not SCH
his captivity for all the prizes Of the
busy world.
Stevenson In one Of his books, THE
Wrecker," l think, says that If a man
who Is toiling In some English town
were to be suddenly transported to n
of the south sea islands. in the neigh
borhood of Tahiti, and had a vision Of
the beauty that Is there and then were
to be transported back again to his
prosaic and ugly surroundings he
would say, AT any rate I have had my
dream" That is how one feels when
one has seen Tahiti. One feels one has
had ones dream.

Little GayneII VenabIe Leaps on
Step of Machine When TroI-
ley lmperiIs Her.

Little Gaynell Venable was playing
about her home Thursday, as though
she had not had the narrowest of es-
capas from being mangled under the
wheels of a street car. The wonder
fu presence OF mind Of the child is
all that saved her.
Gaynell the -year-old daughter
Of II. D. Venable, was playing in the
street in front Of her home, 242 Cen
tral avenue Between the sidewalk
and the car tracks was a big auto
mobile There was less than a foot
of space between the rails and the
step Of the auto.
Playing around the step Of the
auto on the side next to the tracks
little Gaynell did not hear an ap-
preaching car until it was upon her
Her little mind worked fast, for see
ing that she could not get across the
tracks before the car reached her
she jumped on to the step Of the auto,
as the street car shot past.
The step OF the car just grazed
her, brushing her skirts.
She was neither frightened nor in
jured. Passengers on the car who
saw the little one in front, thought
she had been killed.
Her father is an insurance man.

From the statements Of John VI.
Rankin, a lawyer representing Cuyler,
it appears that that ardent ex-hus-
band filed his suit in a misapprehen
sion.
Mr.. Cuyler has been in Atlanta
awaiting word Of the arrival of his
wife in New York, where he was TO
meet her" said Rankin. 1T appears
she was on her way TO New York
with her mother and a maid. They
stopped off at Buffalo to visit re!a-
tives. He heard a report that her
mother had persuaded her TO turn
back to go to San Francisco and not
see him. Hence the suit. If a recon
ciliation is made, then the suit will
be dismissed"
Mr. Rankin and deputy sheriffs had
kept an all-night vigil at the depots
waiting TO serve a summons on Mrs.
Barton.
