IAN intimate story of innermost
emotions revealed in private
letters
TON WHITNEY TO LADY
RETTY CARNOVAN

BETTY CARNOVAN
Ny dear Betty: You will see from
the enclosed clippings that my mar
riage to Karl was a very tame event.
after ALL Dad is still far from well,
and some things came up which
made it imperative that it should
take place at once. It all happened
over those beastly pearl beads.
hate to confess it, but sometimes
I think that Karl has a sneaking
love for Leslie-Leslie, who always
was one Of those meally-mouthed bits
of mid Victorian sweetness. F>orgive
me, my dear, for making an invidi-
Gus remark about the queen, who is
probably one Of your calendar
saints.}
However, you and are much
more frank and much more inde-
pendent in our thought. I've always
envied Leslie those pearls, and al
though Karl has given me two won
derful strings, I had a yen for the
ones he had given Leslie. Like a
fool, set myself out to get them.
knew what time Leslie had and
how frightened she was over an
to her about them some months ago
when I was abroad, so I conceived
what I thought at the time was a
brilliant, but what I have found out
since was a particularly stupid idea
Of writing an anonymous letter to
Leslie's husband. You see I knew
that he didn't know the pearls were
real.
Well, it kicked up an awful fuss.
Seems that stupid husband of hers
got very jealous all at once, and
Leslie made dads Illness an excuse
to come to him. She accused me Of
writing the letter, and what's worse,
she practically accused me right be-
fore Karl. Then 1t was up to ma to
marry Karl and do it quick, SO I
staged another little drama.
let Karl find me in the summer
house with a small bottle of water

in the doorway, I gasped out good

| Betty. I've come to the conclusion
that I was not born to be an author,
as we thought we both were, but
that some day I shall be a great
actor, for the thing worked much
| better than I dared to hope. Karl
rushed forward, grabbed the bottle,
/ took me in his arms and called me
every endearing name 1 ever heard
before and some had not heard.
| I told him 1 was afraid I was go
| ing to lose his love, and I could not
live without it. I owned up that I
| had written the anonymous letter,
| but explained that it was my last

loving my sister or any other
woman.
Betty, men are easily nattered.
aren't they? Even Karl seemed to
think that If I loved him like that,
he should try to make me happy, SO
he suggested that We be married
right away.
We managed to get q license late
in the afternoon, and were married.
Now II I can persuade him to go
over TO England to live, I think we
will be quite happy. I know that I
can not live here, because mother
and Leslie both seem to feel that
I've committed the objectionable sin.
I don't think so, but I do think
have been incomparably stupid, and
I sometimes feel that I haven't
reaped yet the full reward of that
stupidity,
Lovingly,
ALICE.

The lace is dyed to match the
voile, which is French blue, and
it is worn over a slip of pink

than it really is, because the wing

WaldrOn's Letter

To the voters of Randolph county:
Only few more days remain until
the primary election, and l am extend
ing to you, the voters, my appreciation
for the great service you are rendering
and have rendered for me during this
campaign.
Friends, / am only asking for the
same consideration you would like for
your own boy to have; n boy who has
striven hard to make success in life.
| am standing for the same cause of
every young man in Randolph county
when l ask you to give me a chance.
| believe in giving more than one man
a chance to public positions, for
know there are hundreds of men in
our county who can make successful
officer in any of the offices of Ran
dolph county, and they would appre-
ciate a position of this kind as much
as myself or my opponent. All they
need is to give them the opportunity
and they will be glad to have place
of this kind and do anything for you
that they could.
Consider me as you would consider
your own boy, being opposed by man
who has been in office. for six years in
succession, receiving at least three
thousand dollars a year for his ser
vice Do yo uthink 1t is not great dis
encouragement TO the young men Of the
county to keep one man in an office Of
this kind as long as he might ask?
When there are hundreds of men who
are well qualified to do any Of this
work.
Friends, consider the record Of Ben
F. Spikes, Mont Il. Armstrong, T.. T..
Harrison and Ben Johnston who only
served two terms and then gave away,
leaving the same opportunity for some
other man that they asked for them
selves
You know those men have records
as officers of this county that are above
question They were on duty at all
times and gave you efficient service,
! but my opponent would have you %
believe that you did not keep those
men in office sufficient time to give you
the kind of service you should have
had.
If | am your next County Clerk, !
will at all times be at your service,
and be glad to give you prompt and
efficient service. l will accommodate
you in any way | can. All that l ask
of you is the opportunity Ask the
people of my home community where
have had chance to help. | am
willing for them to tell you the kind
of man | am.
1t has been told in some places in
this county that l quit high salaried

this race. There Is not n word of truti
in the statement. | am only asking
the same consideration that any Other
young man of our county would ash

for my work, but | do not feel that

Aaks Scouts to Help i,
Enforcing Radio Laws.

NEW YORK CITY:-SpeakinR
today before one of the largest
BOY Scout audiences gathered to-
gethd m New York Auditorium,
Pierre Boucheron, one of the first
radio amateurs m the United States,
whose entry into the ranks of the
experimenter dates back to 1906,
and now with the Radio Corpora
doa Of America, predicted that radio
broadcasting would lead the way to
the formation of an international
Boy Scout organization in which
the scattered groups of young men
in the principal cities of the world
would enjoy relationships far more
intimate than any other agency has
thus far been able to provide. Mr..
Boucheron also pointed out that the
limited number of available wave
lengths in the ether required the
strict observance of laws governing
radio and asked the Boy Scouts OF
America to pledge their support to
the work of the Department Of
Commerce in enforcing these laws.
ne 2uau was f9dtO party ar
ranged by the Boy Scout Founda-
ton Of Greater New York for the
$4,000 Scouts under its jurisdiction.
The cali to rally has long been
sounded by means Of the Boy Scout
Whistle" said Mr.. Boucheron. "Its
shrifl blast has echoed throughout
hundreds Of camps, and hiking
parties have been guided by its note.
Yet its feeble signal scarcely
reaches che extremities of camp.
Reinforced by the tremendous
amplifying ability OF a powerful
broadcasting station. however, the
same signal will call a. nation
q listening scouts to attention.
Thus, through the agency of radio
scouts in cities, villages, and ham
lets are welded together into single
group, and 10000 scouts may hear
simultaneously the voice of their
leader and Hooorary President. the

eron said: "There Is only one

which must support the burden of
every conceivable message hurled
thru space, whether It be a broad
cast concert or a radio telegraphic
wave. We must use this ether with
