For two days the police of Oak

on the lookout for pretty sixteen
year old Italian girl, with large
dark eyes, black hair and rosy
cheeks, about five feet two and
weighing about 115 pounds. She
was dressed in white when she left
home, said the description furnish

had very little money.
And during all the excitement,
she was right here in Fairmont.
In fact she had spent the last two
nights In the house Of her sweet
heart next door to her home, while
he had chivalrously stayed with
some friends. And now here she
was, In the private office OF Judge

It was a case love at first sight.
But not for Celia and right at the

he is a Greek. She is a Catholic
and he belongs to the Orthodox

Joe, Joe lives next door, and is an
Italian. They have been sweet
hearts since their infancy, went to
school together, and many an aft.
ernoon ride has Celia had in Joe's
taxi, when business was dull. In
short, she likes Joe and emphRti-
cally IoatheS Nick so that ought to
settle 1t. And 1t did, as far as she
was concerned, or so the thought
But not for Nick.
Failing to win out by fair means,
Nick bethought him of the old
adage about love and war, and got
busy. First he scraped an ac-
Quaintance with her mother, to
whom he told many a tale Of his
possessions, his lucrative business
and further prospects. Then he
gave her brother a Job with a
promise Of speedy promotion. His
next move was to buy Celia wrist
watch, diamond ring, and a dia-
mond studded bar pin, all of which
she refused to accept but which her
mother forced her to take and
wear.
Meanwhile, Nick's sister.in,law,
who evidently does not like Nick
and does like Celia, told her that
Nick had remarked that Celia's
consent did not matter so much,
anyhow, because he had her moth
er's promise that she would force
Celia to marry him.
Then was piled on the last
straw One morning, Davenport,
trunk and several other movables
were delivered at the house. Upon
inquiry, Celia was told that Nick
was coming to room there.
That day at noon, she left home,
ostensibly to go to see some girl
friends. She met Joe, told Nm her
troubles, and Joe arranged for her
to stay at his house that night,
smuggling her in after dark with
the help of his mother and twelve
year old sister, with whom Celia
slept that night and the next.
On the morning Of the second
day, while the turmoil attending
the girls mysterious disappearance
was at its height, CeHa's mother
became suspicious of the actions OF
Joe's little sister, who was running
out, getting the news for Celia and
running back to deliver 1t. So
Celia's mother followed, went up.

walking the streets of this city hunting for rooms at
reasonable rates, The Y. w. c. A. IS swamped
with women teachers, and business women, who are
urgently needing places to stay.
These times are no ordinary times, and the housing
situation here is something which demands the atten
ton of the residents of the city. There are dozens OF
houses IN Fairmont that have empty rooms which
should be thrown open to these respectable. refined new
corners who are in despair over their inability TO secure
shelter There are dozens of guest rooms which only
are occupied few weeks out Of each year. These
rooms should be registered with Miss Ford for there
are numbers Of splendid women and girls who are
only temporarily in Faimont and who would prefer
private houses to hotels
Guests generally arrive at an appointed dme, and
hostesses usually know when their guest to be
occupied, why not when no guests due, matter
Of civic pride allow Miss Ford to send to these rooms
some girl who here over night and too tfmd to go to
hotel or some business woman who is to be here for
couple Of weeks and wishes quiet place to stop
while she remains.
Faimont must open up her homes and give shelter
to some of these people Our residents noted for
their generosity and their courtesy to strangers, and IN
the face of this need surely our people will come to
the rescue as they always have. If there is room
available at reasonable rates either temporarily per
