OF course. not all people are af-

pie Of the way the beauty Of the
Inland Sea affects some. The
papers have told US how on a
recent world cruise a couple got
acquainted as they admired the
picturesque scenery at the seas

announced to their fellow passen-
gers on the ships arrival on our
Western Coast, and the marriage
took place at the Little Church
Around the Corner just after the
tour ended at New York.
Travelling Through Fairyland
Sailing over the Inland Sea, or
skirting it's shore by train, is like
trip through a sort Of fairyland
in which here and there an old cas-
tie glistans white amidst the dark
green of the higher hills. You pass
by or through Miyajima, world
famed for it's tori. or temple gate,

Browning MOTTO
Give Up New Ward
AS Stated by Sec.

New York, Aug. 7.-(AP)-
A statement issued tonight by the
personal secretary of Edward w.
Browning, real estate operator who
adopted Mary Louise Spas, and pur-
norting to have been authorized by
him, announced that the girl would
be sent back to her parents tomor-
row and that he was willing to in
validate the adoption. The state
ment was later repudiated by Mr.
Browning who denied that any state
ment had been issued with his ap-
proval.
The secretary said that Mr..
Browning's decision as expressed in
the statement was based on the at
titude of Bird s. Coler, commissioner
of public welfare, who charged at a
hearing by the district attorney on
the adoption that the transaction
was "highly demoralizing to the
young girls of the community.
Ghe contents of the statement
were to a certain extent confirmed
by the newly adopted Cinderella
herself during a conference at the
