"45 West Dear Joan girl:
 What fiendish luck is it that a per fectly good and eligible man wants to marry me and I can't bring myself to it. If Jimmie Ross had appeared a year ago in Mrs. Hurdis' boarding house and asked me, I'd have loved him out of sheer gratitude. But now. either I am bewitched with the adven- ture I have undertaken. and long to go on, or I am different from whai l was a year ago
 I am enough the same girl, however, to enjoy the Bentsville Herald you sent me, dear. My, but it was good to read about Dike's store all dolled up with electric lights and plateglass windows and trading stamps. And the Walker girls millinery shop. La Belle Paris"-how delightfully."- naughty for the old home townl (Tell them New York is wearing its hat damned down over it's eyes: not sitting on top of it's head, as I fear La Belle Paris on Main street is showing them.} And Randy Lewis, all set up in winking new automobile business-finel He'll make good. Does he still smile with one side of his mouth? And spend all his spare cash on his mother? Well, speaking of the home town, whom do you suppose ran into yes terday? Remember Tom Benedict and that awful wife who made him so mis- erable? Remember when people use to say lie ought to leave her he'd al ways answer: No. A contracts a contract. You may hate it, but if you | break if vOti hate Uoitrsalfo
 She wasn't with him for a wonder didn't ask about her for fear oi spelling his day. We had tea at the new hotel, the Commodore, and it sure was swell. I'd like to marry a hotel Joan, and be waited on by bellhops and maids and rub up against satins and velvets and damasks the rest ot my life.
 Tom his quit his post in Chicago and come to New York for good. He looked siIkily prosperous-with one oi those pongee- -colored silk suits, silli shirt. silk socks and forty-dollal panama if I'm any judge.
 "So you haven't been home to Bents- vile since I was there--well. well Like your work ?-you look like a mil lion dollars!"
 Far be it." answered vaguely But I haven't had real vacation 1T years and I'm doing it on a vastly splendid scale this timei Had half oi it at the seashore. Now for the other half somewhere else"
 Why don't you come to Silversant Lake? Peach of a spot. Bathing fishing, boating, flirting-everythin you could want.
 Sounds good" I grinned T sup pase you only go up for weeEends?"

Washington, May -"The Philippine Islands offer a vast field for the extension of Am
 erica industry and commerce in the Far East. We welcome American capital. We believe
 in it. Our government is a.
 wake to the great need of the time".
 This was the reply today of Rafael Palma, vice-president of the Philippine Mission, when
 asked for a statement relative to opportunities for the in- vestment. of American capital
 in the Philippines. The state ment is important, because it comes from one of the three foremost leaders of the party in power in the Philippines, these three including Speaker Sergio Osmena, Senate Pres ident Manuel. Quezon and MT. Palma, who is Secretary ofsthe Interior of the Philippines, and a member of the Philippines, and a member of the Philip pine Senate. MT. Palma was born in Manila in 1874, and has been an important figure in the political life of the Islands since early manhood. In 1908 he was appointed member of the Philippine Commission by President Roosevelt, which was an evidence of the confi- dence placed in him by the American Government. as the Commission was at that time very important factor in the governing power of the Is- lands.
 MT. Palma is also an ex- newspaper man, having been editor of General Luna's La Independencia,'' which MT Palma admits was anything but a quiet occupation in the stirr- ing days of 1898, when the staff had to be. almost con- flying before the ad- lines of American troops. The editorial room was frequently car on some side track, and was more than once punctured by bullets. When it was found impossible to con- tinue this paper MT. Palma was invitedby Sergio Osmena, now Speaker Osmena. to assist in editing journal inCebu. which Nuevo Dia". This the censorship of General Mcintyre and on the of the first number the editors were left in the sin gularposition of seeing every article blue pencil ed. Conditions are different now, however. as Senors Osmenal and Palma occupy highpositions in the govern ment of 1O,50O,000 people.
 MT. Palma is a sincere advo- cate of closer relations be- tween the United States and the Philipines. and contends this can best be brought about by a final solution of the Phil ippine independence issue.
 '"The agricultural and com possibilities of the Phil ippines are almost limitless" said Mr. Palma, referring to the openings for both large and small American capitalists in the islands.
