LETTER FROM BEATRICE GRIM
SHAW TO SALLY ATHERT0N

MY DEAR SALLY:
OF course you have heard of the
terrible thing that has happened to
poor Leslie. Her mother wrote me
yesterday.
About three weeks ago, while out
driving, the steering gear Of her car
broke and she was pinned under it.
She did not regain consciousness for
hours and even then her brain did
not seem to be right.
Doctors Bacon and Melton, who,
as you know, are the greatest sur
geons in the country, performed an
operation and found a piece of bone
pressing upon the. brain at the back
of the skull.
In the meantime, her case was
complicated by the birth of her child,
which necessitated a Caesarian op-
Grafton
No one is allowed to see her as yet,
but Mrs. Hamilton says that she
grieves so much for her baby. 1t
seems that Leslie had told no one,
not even John. She seemed to be
afraid 10 tell him. She had taken
Ruth Ellington out for a drive that
morning for the purpose of telling
her about her condition and expected
to tell John that night.
According to Ruth. the girls were
very much engrossed in conversation
when the accident occurred.
Mrs. Hamilton is still with Leslie.
At first it was thought that Alice
should be cabled to return home, but
afterward Karl Whitney volunteered
TO go across and be there to bring
her back If it seemed best for her to
return, so they delayed until a few
days ago telling Alice anything about

Mrs. Hamilton says she never saw
such devotion in her life as Jack is
giving to Leslie. He never leaves
her bedside except to do what bust
ness is absolutely necessary. This is
particularly hard upon him, Mrs.
Hamilton said, because Leslie does
not know him all the time and at
times keeps asking him to bring
John to her that she may tell hins
that she is going to have a baby and
asking If he thinks that John will be
pleased.
She tells him over and over again
that she has been afraid to tell John
a baby is coming for she doesn't
think John will like It,
Mrs. Hamilton says this almost
breaks Jacks heart.
By the way. do you remember,
Sally, that little Perier girl? Some
one told me the other day that she
had gone into the movies, or at least
was soon going to Los Angeles. where
she had a contract to appear in pic
lures.
The girl who told me said she was
looking very badly, thin and pale.
but extremely interesting. Said she
had much more character in her face
than ever before and that she
thought she would do well in moving
pictures.
Jack, you know, was quite devoted
to her at one time. I wonder If she
was in love with him.
Am glad to know that Sam is in
better spirits and that there is some
hope held out for the regaining of
his eyesight.
With lots of love,
BEE

Little satisfaction to her to know
that, long before, she had complied
with the request which he now thinks
she disregarded. Little satisfaction to
know that her conscience is clear, If
her heart is heavy.
He could hardly be blamed for
doubling her, under the circumstances.
Still, it would seem that, if he really
loved her, even though he believed
her guilty, he would help her rather
than desert her just when she needs

~ VEN the housekeeper who must
buy her vegetables will find

doing her own canning.
Buy directly from the producer If
possible. This insures greater fresh

saving in money.
All vegetables must be freshly gath
cred for successful canning. but peas
especially should be canned with the
dew still on them. Nor should they
be too ripe when picked. The pods
should be well filled and firm to the

After I had bought the bag. a
