NHE real life Of any
woman begins with the
moment when she first
sees the man she is going to
love.
And so it always seemed
to Honey Lou Huntley that
her life really began on
cold, rainy December after
noon when the wind went
shrieking and sobbing around
the Wallack Fabric Mills.
SlA11 came SOW. sssn the
narrow iron staircase that
led from the offices to the
shipping room below.
AS she came she sang
aloud 'tValencla-Wh
the orange trees perfume the
breeze above the sea-for-
ever
She was singing to keep
up her courage.
Her voice shook a little Her
lips shook, too, as they formed
the words of the lovely song.
So did the hand that slid along
the iron rail beside her.
Honey Lou was afraid. Fool
ishIy, dreadfully afraid.
She was afraid of Joe Mead
ows, the shipping clerk. Even
though it was broad daylight.
and there were men in the
shipping room, she was afraid
of Joe Meadows.
She had been afraid of him
ever since she had come to the
mills six months before and
she didn't know why she was!
Perhaps it was just her IN
stinct that warned her against
him. Perhaps it was because
he always Stood too close TO
her whenever she brought hun
messages from Old Man Wal
lack IS she often did, Per
hapg 1t was because Of the way

March set the record in building

The officers state that there are yet
a few available gardens for those who
wish to become members.
Recently the Takoma Park Horti-
cultural Club sent notices to its men,
bers concerning the surplus stock of
shrubs and small fruits and roses in
their gardens. This condition exists in
many gardens in the park. This sur.
plus material, at stated intervals, is
collected by the plant exchange COM
mittee to be placed on sale. with the
entire proceeds or a part of them to
go to the treasury of the club. The
first sale of the year was held April
at the home of II. G. Skeels, Holley
avenue, Takoma Park, Md. and was
open to the public as well as to club
members. 1t is hoped that the plant
exchange committee will issue it's
notices sooner, so that due publicity
may be given to such ventures.

from Washington, but The enthusiasm

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 10
The Porto Rican government, through

a petition to join with the United
States Government as plaintiff in the
suit already instituted against Lieut..
Comdr. Virgil Baker, retired, to re-
cover Porto Rican lands now held by
Baker under a 999-year lease. 1t is
alleged that the lease, granted by the
Navy Department in July, 1921, was
obtained by fraud.
The land in question is 10 acres of
the old San Geronimo reservation,
said to be worth 100000. The Porto

Miss Ryan Near
Defeat in Tennis
Play at Forest Hills

Forest Hills, N. Y, Aug. 20.-[P)-
Elizabeth Ryan of California, con-
queror of Helen Wills and tournament
favorite, barely escaped a stunning de-
feat today in her quest of the womens
national tennis championship.
1t required all the pluck and deter
mination of the 36-year old veteran to
ward off a brilliant driving attack by
Eleanor Goss Of New York who has
been aiming at the crown from a place
in the ranking first 10 for almost a
half score of years. Victory was in
sight for the New York girl in the sec
ond set. with Miss Ryan behind at 3-6
and 1-3, but here she faltered.
Covering her court desperately, Miss
Ryan brought the score to even terms
at Sail and finally turned the tide to
win the set at Ga. There was still
hope for Miss Goss, but the loss Of the
set blunted the edge of her attack
Her game finally collapsed completely
and Miss Ryan summoned all her re-
sources to sweep the final set at love
for match triumph at 3-6, ga, 60.
Other favorites earned their semi
hnal brackets with less difficulty, al
though Mrs. Molla Mallory of New
York and Mary K Browne of Califor-
mia were both extended to deuce sets
in their matches.
The latter, with a victory over Pene-
lope Anderson of Richmond, Va. at
7-5, 6-1, earned the right to face Miss
Ryan tomorrow, while Mrs Mallory
vanquished Mrs. Charlotte Hosmer
Chaplin of Springfield, Mass. at rs,
SO. Mrs. Mallory's opponent in the
lower half of the draw tomorrow will
be Martha Bayard of Short Hills, n.
j, who scored her quarter final victory
in straight sets over Margaret Blake
Of Boston, GA, 6-2.
