What do you think they ought

The little flower face looked up at

hope or reliance.
AS indeed he was. Poor little Bun

suddenly into sorrow so grave and
terrible, and with no hope of rescue
or relief. her dazed brain and
stunned heart could scarcely meet
the issues.
Yet she was learning. Already she
was beginning to see that she must
rely on herself for decisions and ac.
tons.
Her thoughts flew to the rather
nice woman who had that morning
offered to help her. Who had even
offered her a temporary homeland
who seemed to consider one neces-
sary.

ought not to be here alone with

PARIS, June 4.-Helen Wills was
operated on for appendicitis today and
American hopes that the California
tennis star would wrest the worlds
tennis laurels from Suzanne Lenglen
at the international nard courts tour
ney now being played IN Paris were
dashed. The operation was a success,
and physicians said she was entirely
out of danger. But Suzannes title
will rest secure this year, so far as
an American challenge is concerned,
for the doctors say it will be abso-
lutely impossible for Helen to play
at Wimbledon the end of June. In fact,
she probably will not be permitted to
WELD a racquet again until fall.
Helen thinks otherwise. Even
while she was on the way to the op-
Grating table, she told one of her
team mates that she would be "all
right for Wimbledon"
MAY be I will not be able to play
in the Wightman cup matches in Eng
land, but 1 am sure I will be ready
for Wimbledon"
