This story hinges on fight for the

Following the death of her husband,
Diana returns to her old home In

The Earl Of Hardcaster having died
since Diaua's return, a Spanish wom-
an, who claims to be his widow, ap-
pears TO demand the jewels. Threat

hope and aim OF the board to influence
the public to enjoy and profit more and
more by what the institution has TO
offer.
Mr. Lieber deplored, in the twenty
FIVE years since the John Heron bequest,
and thirty years since the Art Associa-
tion was organized there had not been
more progress In the work, but ex-
pressed utmost faith the Heron Art In
sttute will meet with greater support
in the future than it has in the past.
He expressed the hope Indianapolis
might have similar institution for the
Advancement and development Of music.
Mr. Lieber spoke of the $4,000 por-
trait of James Whitcomb Riley, which
is owned by the institute and which is
one Of the most valuable in the gallery.

director Of the Girl Scouts spoke Of her

Although Larry had fine teeth they

still another point of contract. He was
