Audrey Creighton Ryan.

San Francisco, Jan. 26-(Special) was an impulsive sentimental flour lsh responsible for the latest tragedy of Paris American colony as a re- suit of which Audrey Creighton Ryan, pretty twenty o-years-old Califor- mia. v1oGndst. died recently
 Or was it the urge of a youthful romance perverseness that led her to accompany her husband to the dinner that had such terrible after math?
 While Paris leading American pny- scians administered desperate relief measures to the gir1-wife after the tragedy, her husband, Thomas Stew art Ryan, an American writer, was held by the police on a charge of attempted murder.
 Cut Own Wrists
 After a. dinner that was to have brought their married life to a mu- tually agreed upon end. he is alleged to have forced her to. go with him to his hotel room and there swallow poison.
 Ryan denies this. His story is that his wife took the poison in d suicide pact. He points to his own s1ashed throat and wrists-not, however, seri- Ously slashed-as proof.
 He points also to letters written by Mrs. Ryan in his room, addressed to her mother and the man whom she was to wed after a divorce had been secured from Ryan, saying that she was tired of life and that she found herself in chain of circumstaRces that could have -no> other end.
 Mrs. Ryan asserted that the let ters were written to his dictation at the point of a knife.
 The alleged attempted murder was mt n sir r-rf- age drama which had occupied the courts of California before the scene was shifted to France. According to the girls mother, Audrey never was Ryan's wife except in name. The mothers story follows:

ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
Ask Yomr Raremts-
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Ask Your Parents
 Dear Miss Fairfax: Am twenty and ia love with a young man who is six years older than myself. My parents will not consent because he has been married before and has a child, but his wife died few years ago. Won't you please advise me what to do?
 ANXIOUS.
 Ask your parents, in fairness to you and your feelings, to permit the man to come into the house as friend. Perhaps their admiration for his character might conquer their distaste at the thought of having their twenty-year old daughter plunged into the responsibilities of Inothering another woman's child.

Rust is reported in wheat In many
