the girl, boosted to her of his con-
quests, told her fifty women loved

ANDERSON, 1T is indicated in his
papers, was an officer in the air
service during the war. He was
never sent overseas, apparently,
out he priced his army experience
greatly. 1t was the one streak of
romance and adventure in a work
aday existence, and, actually denied
any service more exciting than
campaigning in behalf of Liberty
pond drives, the aviator department
store employe solaced himself after
the war by writing romances. In
one of these, the hero was an army
flyer, who achieved undying fame
during the war, and fell in love
+, with g. girl who scorned him be-
cause of his fathers wealth, But
the flyer found her at last, living
IN the south seas, where she had
fied TO escape his attentions, and
they ruled together in a kingdom of
romance, tropical beauty and I'M
aging love. Letters from Anderson
TO Miss Beal spoke OF the possi-
Dlilty OF honeymooning in the
south seas, in a country of mellow
moonlight and eternal summer,
But the romance of Anderson
ana Marie Beal ended in a hotel
bedroom in the gray of dawn, in
an atmosphere not of tropical
nlrds and flowers but of Changing
trolley cars, taxicabs and rumbling
trains. Anderson, according to the
glrl, had told her he had changed
MS mind-that he couldn't marry
her now. Later. perhaps. He had
NOT divorced his wife yet, he said,
according to Miss Beal.
