Dear Miss Brooks:
Many thanks for the song you pub.
lished for me few weeks ago. l an
requested and hope you will publish the
same. Would like to ask you how Is
best way to slip and reset the begonia
slip, and what. If any, special care is
| necessary. Also, how to win back the
love of one who is gradually drifting
from you (husband). Have tried in
every way to do my part. 1t what way
have failed? Please make a sugges-
ton. Thanking you in advance as be-
fore,
LONEITA. Utah.
You are welcome to the song, Lionel
ia, and | in turn thank you for the one
you sent me. % The florist tells me to
take the begonia slip and put it in
water until little roots come on it, then
plant it and take care of it Just the
same as anything else. co Your other
question is not so easy to answer dear,
especially as 1 know nothing of the
circumstances. l am going to ask you
TO write me a letter telling me some
thing more about your seeming trouble,
and l can then give you personal re-
ply If you wish. There is a way to re-
store the harmony in your home I am
sure but not knowing more than your
letter indicates, any attempted advice |
from me. would be like the blind at
tempting to lead the blind. Please will
you let me hear from you?

French Traitor Freed
From Devils Isle

Paris.-Three lines in q daily paper
have just recalled story Of passion,
treason and crime; the ruin and degra-
dation Of brilliant young naval Off
Ger who, Is years ago, betrayed his
| country In ordeI to obtain money for
woman of whom he was enamored
Ullmo, condemned to penal servitude
for life, has been released from his
prison in Devils island and given free
say-in the scorched land Of Cayenne
where he will drag out the remainder
of his miserable existence.
La Belle Lison was the name Of the
woman who fascinated Ullmo In the
early years of his career at TOulon
The son of a wealthy industrialist at
Lyons from whom he received hand
some allowance to supplement his pay,
Ullmo was envied by his poorer COM
rades. But La Belle Lison had expen-
sive tastes. To satisfy them the young
officer was soon reduced to borrowing
and then to other more dishonest
means Of procuring money.
Employed in a naval department Of
flee where he had access to important
documents, he succumbed to tempta-
tion and began to sell secrets to for
eign agents. He even endeavored to
sell to his own government forged
documents purporting to be informa-
tion relative to foreign powers mill
tary plans. Suspicious were raised and
the French authorities laid a trap for
Ullmo.
