A BRAVE woman has written
~ me a heart-breaking letter
aid asks me to say some
thing to comfort her in the grey
hours that seem to stretch out end
lessly.
She tells me it is too late to
alter her decision, that already the
machinery has been put in motion
that will make the step she has
determined on irrevocable. And
she asks for a comforting word to
carry with her through the arid
period Of adjustment. Anyone who
reads her letter will realize that
such self-abnegation as hers is
healed from within. That strong
souls like this do not faint by the
wayside, but 90 through life as

JACK CONNOLLY, the "Doughnut
King" who has sold more doughnuts
in one day than any other man in the
world, has been working every night
this week until midnight for the Sal
walton Army. With the help Of the
yeomen (F), who are giving their
time, the Salvation Army has $1,000
from the street sales of doughnuts
for one day. Jack was Congressman
Carriers secretary for four years.
and when he came to Washington he
had to resign as president OF the Bos-
ton Press Club. AS a private and
corporal in the war he served abroad
with the Yankee division, and after
the armistice was signed was placed
on special duty with the S. o. S.
Major General Hartford, commander
of the service OF supply, thought so
much of Corporal Connolly's work
that he wrote him a letter which
looks like a citation. Some class for
