spell of love grew strongers.

she wrote to her friends. He is real,

is nothing petty or mean about him.

During the months that the heiress was
in Labrador the letters came faster and
faster. But Rheault was in southern Cam
ada, and neither could bridge the hun 3
dreds of miles between them. When Miss
Bradley returned to Boston to take up her
charity work among the i'll and the poor
children of the city, the love shuttle of
the letters kept coming and going,
When the war drew Canada to the de-
tense of its mother country, Rheault en-
listed in the Royal Dragons. The Brad
leys had no son to send to the Allies, but
they did have very capable daughter,
and Rosamond went to the front. She
served in the Tour sector, near Verdun,
all through that perilous siege, and was
many times under fire. Rheault was
fighting in another sector and still they
did not meet.-But still the letters con-
tinued to pass between them.
And it was not until the war was over
that the heiress and the gallant soldier
met 1t was in Boston. Eight years had
gone by since the first letter had passed
between them. They found in each other
everything that their letters had promised.
Surely this was not the kind of man
who would deny his own brother at the
church, argued the Boston fashionables.
But surely, some said, the unbidden
guest must have had some connection with
the family and some claim upon the bride
groom's friendship. He had talked freely
and frankly, had allowed himself to be
photographed, and had offered to go to
the Bradley mansion and be identified
there before the guests!
And if he had been simply a crank
or a malicious impostor, why had not

and so settled the mystery forever?
Of course there are always spitefuf
tongues, and these were not idle. These
wondered audibly whether the brief as
ISOLATION of the captain with the society
of Back Bay had not perhaps robbed him
of some of his pristine naturalness and
sincerity. They wondered if he might
not have been infected eveI during his
short visit to the Boston mansions with
that very snobbery which his bride had
decried in the young men of her own
circle.
And Boston society is still asking all
these questions, and will continue to. ask
until the mystery is some day revealed.

The success of this bit of original

over two seasons. He has only just
returned from London and is under
contract to go back. In the interim,
however, he is renewing old friend

HeadIiner And Shirley Ma
son Is Screen Attraction

There Is no lack of variety in

Headlining the vaudeville bill is
Larry Harkins, popular musical com
edy and vaudeville star, who with his
"monarchs of melody" promises an
artistic revue of harmony songs,
comedy dances and music. and this
headliner will be augmented by a
comedy skt entitled Hard Boiled"

ter. songs and dances interjected into
"ticklesome tale of a tight wad."

ing skit, "A Surprise" by Chic and

means least. the Wyoming Duo in

feats and real live west rope spin
ming.

him to the point of proposal.

roWed Money

of the city commission.
Recently Mr.. McLendon expressed
himself on this subject, saying the
limit placed on municipalities In Ala
bama in regard to bond issues is
causing an enormous loss of money
to the state annually. He advocated
a constitutional amendment to reme-
dy the situation.
An invitation was at once extend
ed the citys chief to discuss the
matter before the Birmingham Real
Estate board, and the invitation was
accepted Mr.. McLendon will confer
with the realtors Thursday afternoon
at their regular weekly luncheon in
the Tutwiler hotel.

dent Of the Alabama Real Estate
board, on the state meeting held this
week in Montgomery. Other mem =
bers who attended are expected to
have something to say about what
they learned at the meeting OF the
state body.
Final announcements are expected
from the Birmingham members who
intend to attend the national meet
ing in Cleveland next month, so no.
tel and railway accommodations may
be reserved.
