FLORENCE REED AT THE

Just as they were about to start on
their honeymoon the newly wed Mrs.
James Emerson discovered her hus-
band looking at a photograph of an
other oma On the back of it was
written, With love to my husband,
Grace Too proud to take her hus-
band to task the thought of this 9th
er woman tortured the wife for many
miserable years. Then the break
came. The husband thought his wife
had been untrue, and he was deter
mined to leave her. Just as James is
choking his wife a young boy rushes
into the room and falls in front of
the couple. The husband leaves to
seek a divorce. The wife cares for
and nurses the boy back to health,
meanwhile calling on his poverty
stricken family in the slums. There
she learned the true story of the wo-
man of the photograph and also the
history of the boys life. She return
ed to her home. For weeks she taught
the boy and he grew to love her. Then
her husband came to consult about
the divorce. She gave him a diary to
read, she told him he had a son. The
end of the story is one of the big SUR
prises in wives of Men" in which

SALT LAKERS ENJOY AIRPLANE

Monday the Western Aircraft cor

with intermittent rains. The reporter

Secret of Happiness.

The happiness of life is made up
of minute fIactions-the little chart
ties, a kiss, a smile, a kind look or
word, a heartfelt compliment in the
disguise of a joke, and the countless
other essentials to peace of'mind which
are few, simple and always close at
hand. If we would cultivate the habit
of making a note Of these things, we
would get more pleasure eur of the
common experiences of everyday life
and should 500 master the secret OF
happiness.
