GREENWICH VILLAGE
CIGARETTE GIRL WINS
FIGHT AGAINST DEATH
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Greenwich
Village, that Bohemian center regard
ed as perpetual fountain of mirth,
for time was threatened with its lit
tie tragedy, but now the tale has TAX
en- new turn and the happy ending is
in sight.
A few weeks ago Sonia the Cigar
cite Girl was stricken desperately i'll.
Heart disease, a strange form, the doc
tors said
For weeks she lay in a hospital
ward, pale and wan. And very lonely
was Sonia, for she found that her vii
lage friends, the poets and painters
who laughed with her and blew smoke
rings with her in cellar and garnet,
had deserted her.
On the walls were none OF the gay
tapestries, the paintings and the
sketches in which she delighted. The
sounds which came to her were ON
'inous sounds, lacking the music and
laughter which to her had constituted
life.

| Sonia is only In her twenties. Youth
rebels at grim hospital walls and
white-clad doctors and nurses, with
their stethescopes and mysterious
charts.
But now doctors say that Sonia has
won her first fight-that soon she
will be discharged.
Everyone knows Sonia In the VII
{lage. In her smock and sandals, she
icould be seen any day walking bare
, headed through the alleys of the Latin
Quarter, shaking her bobbed-head vio-
llently when engaged in argument over
/ Bellies Lettres or the theories of
Freud
Sonia-she has a last name but in
! the Village she is known only as Son
ia-is a Bohemian. Thousands of out
of-towners who have visited the Vii
! lage have seen her slipping from Ia
bic to table in the fantastic tea-rooms
which the Village boasts, cajolling the
merry-makers into buying a package
of her cigarettes.
Sonia is versatile. Now she would
make little money at one thing, at
other times at another. Sometimes
she would make. nothing at all.
Dances For Students
Once she went to Boston and there
staged Bohemian dance largely at
tended by Harvard undergraduates.
dance was not wholly success, and
the police reserves had to be called
A few months ago she opened lit
tie shop of her own in the Village.
To her stock of cigarettes she added
erudite tones and fanciful batiks.
Then she was stricken.
Her acquaintance tried to find her
family. They were all dead, she said
She smiled mysteriously whenever
she was asked whence she had hailed
She just appeared one day in the

they might send me word or have
dropped in to see me before they
went"

ROTARY CLUB STANDS
FOR SOUND BUSINESS
ETHICS, SAYS WILLIS

No man can be of service until he
learns to put himself in the other
fellows place." declared F. L. Willis.
head of the Associated EvangeIistic
Clubs of the South, who defined the
principles of the Rotary club at the
noon meeting of that body Tuesday,
at the Arlington hotel.
Rotary stands for sound business
ethics said Mr.. Willis. Business
men today cannot do things in their
transactions that they used to, and
it is all because Rotarians have light
ed the way to our new business era.
Friendship is another cardinal vir-
tue of your civic organization. The
comradeship found in Rotary which
permits business men in all walks of
life to call each other by their first
names, is conducive to the practice
OF all of the principles of your body,
and Rotarians come nearer to bearing
the burdens of one another than any
other organization of its kind.

IN your effort to serve. There would
be no labor troubles or conflict in the

IF you want to make Richmond

are DESTROYS of making your great
Hoosier state greater yet and if you

statement of Mr. Willis.
