And this in spite of the fact that only three short weeks before that decision Donna had most forcibly de- clared:
 "My next husband must be gray haired and reliable with sense of duty toward others" That was after she had been told that her former husband, Nelson F. Evans, Hollywood movie photograph CT, had married in New York before his interlocutory decree became final and had sailed for Europe with his new bride.
 But now says Donna: "wise women change their minds, fools never," thereby shattering one per fectly good system of feminine phil osophy. And the reason-why the reason Is Charles H. Travis, wealthy and-young.

 will you kindly call the mana. ger." I broke in cold1y.
 What for 9" asked the clerk
 Because I wish it," I replied so curtly and firmly that the impertt- nent youth wilted and said with a crfnging air:
 ou ain't going to report me, are you. for taking you for one of she friendly danes that sometimes comes along seeking old I-ee?. And you can't hold it up against me for seeing that you're the peacherina of the 1ot?"
 Kindly call the manager" I re- peated with complete impersonality.
 The youth turned and disappeared into an inner office. As I stood at the stained oak desk found myself e1ab- orately examining it's fittings. The rack of half soiled envelopes, the glass of shot in which three or four pen holders were thrust, and the revolving registry book with it's thumbed leaves all came in for careful scrutiny I was eVading a consid deration of the neces- sity with which I'd come face to face. I knew there was no evading the mo- ment, but I could trust myself to think about what I had to do Sufficient for
 me the fact that knew it must be done.
 After a few moments the manager emerged from his den back of the cashiers deck. He came toward me with a suavity which suggested that he'd soon begin wringing his hands to- gether in the humble manner im- mortalized by Uriah Heep. He was a white-haired man with a youthful pink-and-white complexion, tried eyes and dropping black mustache, which only partly hid thick crimson lips.
 "I hear you wish to consult me, madam" he said. rolling his words out unctuously.
 ignoring the young clerk who had returned and was grtnning with ex- aggerated effort to ingratiate himself.
 The manager yielded quickly to my quiet insistence. Evidently he read stress in my manner. In another moment I was ushered into an office completely in keeping with the half shoddy elegance of the hotel Drawn up near me in a revolving chair, the white-haired youthful managed smiled encouraging.
 May I ask your name?" I began with a lack of emphasis I determined I'd retain throughout the interview. "I hate talking without the mental handle of a name. It never p1eases me to have a clerk tell me she a num- Der s63 instead of giving her name"
 My smile was friendly, but I felt sure that the man had not failed to grasp my intent.
 'Tm MT. Rogers, at your service, Mrs. Harrison" he murmured.
 "You can serve me by telling me bit more about MT. Lees departure" I replied. And, in the face of his tiny snirk, I went on with the task I'd set myself 'He is my father, you know Of course I've not see him since child hood and I've no knowledge of his life

Los Angeles. March 13.-(Spec:aD Will another-a fourth man-en- ter the life of Madalynne Obenchain and bring to her the happiness which three men,, so far, have failed to bring?
 Will Cupid show his perseverance, by seeking a new mate for her if she is acquitted of the murder of J. Bel don Kennedy, one of three men who have entered her life to date? Arthur c. Burch, another Rover. is awaiting trial on the same charge.
 Los Angeles is asking these ques- tions following the failure recently of Steady Ralph Obenchain, "the man in a million" to take his accustomed place at his former wife's side in the courtroom where she is being tried.

husband who rushed to her assistance when she was thrown into jail, been tossed into discard?
 Obenchain was "the man in a mil lion" when he rushed across the con- tinent to his divorced wife's assistance in answer to her appeal for help after her arrest.
 He won the above title but lost a responsible position because of the publicity incurred.
 He helped arrange Mada1ynne's de- fense and raised the necessary funds by acting the story of his life and love in the movies. He told her he still loved her and she consented to marry him again as soon as she was acquit- ted.

With one leg braced, nine holes in his back, and one of his lungs oper- ated on a hundred times, Wallace H. Smith, ex-soldier, is nevertheless one of the best dancers in Washington, D. c. The George Washington post of the American Legion claims he was the most completed wounded man in the A. B. F.
 His one wound stripe stands for scars in 133 separate parts of his body, inflicted chiefly by shrapnel at Chateau Thierry when he was fight ing with Company L, Ninth infantry, Second division. After this occur renee, Smith lay for a while in no mans land and called for water. A German, dressed in an American uni form, came along, refused to give him water, pushed a bayonet into his left lung, and left him for dead. He did not know Smith very well. For to- day, although the lung has since been removed and operated upon with great frequency, Smith IS still alive and dancing. @
 Smith is 21 years old. He has an- nounced his intention of teaching some of the Tive ones'' at the Legion post how to really dance.

 But can't stay here" pleaded the girl You must let me go!"

 Murdock grinned. She had discov- cred his weak point He pulled Loomis' checks out of his pocket and looked at it.

 Ruth shuffled the pack and cut first She turned the bottom one up. It was seven Murdock took the pack and cut His card was a five. Ruth took the deck from him. Cutting the cards she drew jack. Murdock grinned as he cut--a king showed itself. Smil- ing, he handed the deck to the girl. He could not help but admire her game ness. Ruth realized that the next cut would be her last chance. Stalking all, she drew a card and kept it face downward, drawing it near her across the table, and not daring to look at It's face.

 To queries regarding Steady Ralph's absence, Mrs. Obenchain has given studied and preoccupied an- swers. And she is signing her name Madalynne Donna Connor instead of Madalynne Cennor Obenchain.
 These have given rise to the reports that Ralph has been banished.
 And if he has, has another entered her heart. Los Angeles believes that only the verdict of the trial will tell the story.
 Obenchain's sacrifices for his di vorced wife began when he allowed her to get a divorce when he found she loved the slain broker. It was then he told her to call on him. If she ever needed assistance.

ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

A Last-Minute J1t
 Dear Miss Fairfax:
 Last summer 8 young man asked to be introduced to me. After the tn- troduction he courted me most ard- ent1y and showered me with gifts He then left town for number of months and each day received love letters and telegrams from him. We were secretly engaged and the day before was to get my ring he told me he could not marry me, as he didn't love me. Can you make this out? I can't, It is beyond me.
 PUZZLED. The matter may be as simple as it appears. The man found on knowing you well that what he had taken for love was infatuation. He may have burned his feelings out on a wild out pouring of emotions which couldn't settle down to steady devotion. He may have some difficulty in his way and feel that he isn'tsready for mar riage. But since he has told you with brutal frankness that he does not love you, you are fortunate not to be tied to one who could not make you happy.
