 Her love romance was as hectic as a Kansas sunset. She left her fath- CTS home one hot July day because the place seemed dead. Her father is custodian of the Chanute Gene tery.
 Arriving in this city she went to a movie There she saw Jack Little and admired the way he sold ice cream cones.
 Next day she and Little were mar ried.
 Next day she decided to get in the swim and did so in one-piece bath ing suit.
 Next day her husband asked her 'how come, in regard to teeth marks in her neck. "A fresh fellow bit me while I swam," Mrs. Little said.

kLANSMEN KONVENE
 NEAR MIDDLET0WN
Guards With Army Uni form And Revolvers Halt Curious.

Middletown, July 25 The fiery cross of the Ku Klux KIan b1azed forth at midnight Saturday night in a ravine at Clifford c. Plum's farm In the Westfeld district. The occa- sion was marked by a visit Of several hundred klansmen rom all sections of Connecticut and some from Massa- chusetts, for the initiation of 175 into the order. Most of the new members came from Meriden and surrounding territory.
 Information obtained by The Cour- ant yesterday disclosed that at least a dozen if not more of the new mem bers came from this city. It was also stated that several of the members taking part in the initiation also came from this city.
 Great secrecy prevailed as to the place of the initiation. At 10 o'clock Saturday night word was received that the initiation was to be held In the neighb orhood of West Cromwell. Several from this city, who were curi- ous, went to West Cromwell but could not find the place. Shortly before midnight word came that the place was at Plum's farm m WestheId. ThIs information spread and a mum Der could see.
 Armed Guards.
 Plum's place is about three miles from the city's center, and about one
 
 ceremony was taking place armed guards had been stationed. Efforts to get beyond the guard line proved unfruitful. but several managed 10 get within a quarter of a mile from the ravine but were unable to get much of a glance at what was taking place down in the hollow.
 The ravine is about one-quarter of mile from the town road and it is a clear strip of land. Nearly 300 au- tom obiles in which klansmen arrived from all sections lined up Tn the roads and on the vacant lots in the vicinity of MT. Plum-s nome. Some of the automobiles began to arrive early but the majorIIy or the ma chimes pulled up shortly before the hour for the ceremony. It was mo- ticed that on the radiator cap of every car ribbon was tied. Some of the occupants of the machine wore white masks while they were enter ing the grounds, but a large number had no masks.

VACATION HOUSE FOR GIRLS OPEN
 AT WILDEMERE

After overcoming the many ob- stacles that are incident upon such an affair, cottage for glrls, mas been opened at Wildermere Beach under the auspices of 'he Connec- ticut Council of Catholic women.
 It has been the dream or lew prominent women of Bridgeport 10 have a place for the girls in the country where they could enjoy q week of rest and recreation But a suitable site could not be obtained, so their efforts were doubled to pro- cure a place at the shore.
 Through the aid of some of the nonied Catholic people of Brige- port, amongst whom are found the names of a few prominent physicians, the ambition of these women was realized.
 As it will be a. difficult task to ac- commodate all that wish to enjoy it. each girl should make application at once to Mrs. Simon Crehan, 1T Fremont street in order that all de- mands be met. The cottage is To- cated about two blocka from the Catholic church.
 The cottage will be open till the first week in September. So that as many as possible may have an opportunity of spending a week at this delightful spot.
 The committee in charge are: Mrs. J. L. North Mrs. M. J. Flanagan, Mrs. John Phelan. Mrs. Grover Lyons, Mrs John McElroy and Miss Nellie Dunn,
