else pathetic and much that was in

stifed and is sometimes born
in that somber gray building
near the White House, where affairs
of state and International negotia-
tions are guarded in oppressive Sc
crecy. is furnished by Miss Mary H.
MacDonnell, beautiful and talented
Washington girl, who this week is
starting on 14.0o0-mile journey to
the capital of Persia to be married
to DR.. A. c. Millspaugh, a young
Anne rican, who is reorganizing the
financial affairs of that government.
From the model city of Washington
and out of the most thoroughly mod
ern civilization and progressive life
to be found anywhere in the world,
this young woman will travel alone
by primitive routes through lands
that were Civilized by the sword"
ages before America was discovered,
across a great salt desert, across
lands that have been a theater of
warfare for $500 years, since Cyrus
in B. G. 55s-52s, by conquerng and
uniting Media, Babylonia, Lydia and
all Asia Minor. became the founder of
the Persian empire.
Through the regions where the
greatest chieftains Of ancient history
fought for monarchies-the three
Dariuses, Xerxes. the three Artaxer-
xes and Alexander-this dainty prod
uct Of modern civilization and culture
will journey with her heart as guide
to the ancient city of Teheran, which
was fixed as his capital by the ruler
Futteh Ali Shah in 1796-to keep her
troth.
She goes alone to this next station
in her romance, which began when
DR.. Milispaugh was economic adviser
to the State Department and she was
his private secretary, but she goes
under the protection Of two govern
ments, carrying letters from the Sec
retary of State and the Persian min
lister, and with personal acquaintances
in the diplomatic corps and consular
service ready to care for her at each

you meant you'd marry anybody. AS
if you couldn't even consult your own

"Oh, yes. I'd do that. And my own
taste is pretty good, too. thank you"
WITH feminine inquisitiveness she
w followed it up. What do you
imagine she'll be like, them"
His smile was vaguely distant. but
it was also point blank. Very much
like you" he said, and then repeated
it. a tone lower: Very much like

And then she understood him.

her long journey that will take at
least two months.
For FIVE years Miss Mcdonnell has
been a confidential employe of the
Department of State. She is a native
of Lynn. Mass, and a graduate Of the
Massachusetts, State Normal School at
Salem. She was educated in private
schools, is a musician, playing the
harp and piano. and has delighted
Washington audiences as a member
Of the Washington Opera Company.
1t must have been the little blind
god of love who nudged the assign
ment clerks elbow and directed that
she should be assigned as private Sec
retary to DR.. Millspaugh. He was
considered a confirmed bachelor, and
so keen and brilliant himself that he
had scant patience with any clerk.
So the appointment clerk was in des-
peraGon to find an efficient secretary
for him. Miss mcdonnell seemed
sent to meet the emergency.
1t is generally admitted around the
State Department that fair portion
of the notable work done by DIR.
Millspaugh as foreign trade advisor,
as the nrSC petrOleurn SpeCidliSl thc
department ever had, and for whom
the office Of economic advisor was
originated. owed its great success to
the careful cooperation of Miss Mao
Donnell.
DR.. Millspaugh was born in Augusta.
Mich, forty years ago. He received
his education in economies and po-
liticaI science at Albion College, the
University OF Illinois and Johns Hop
kins University. He has received
many degrees. He has been instruc-
tor In political science at Johns Hop
kins and professor OF political science
at Whitman College. Washington state
He was appointed consul Of class T.
July I, 1921. He is the author Of sew
erai political treatises.
AS the first petroleum specialist OF
the State Department. he was in close
touch with all that the United States
government did for three years in
