CHICAGO. Aug. 10.-Romance Is
a wonderful thing to an 1S.year.old
college girl, especially romance which
includes a Hindu nobleman, dreams
of castles, landed estates and trav.
els around the world. But when ro-
nance winds up in the midst Of a
Jungle, with the prince turned into
a heavy drinker and the castle a
pest-infested hut. romance soon
fades into reality.
When l married Abani Kumar
Bose, ruler of BarOdi, India,
laughed at Kipling's famous line
about the East and West. And
when 1 got my divorce, l realized
that Kipling had been vindicated
again-as he always is when girl
from the West and a man from
the East try to demonstrate that
he was wrong.
1 first saw Abani when both of us
were studying at Northwestern Uni
versity, near Chicago. He was hand
some. tall, dark and, mysterious.
He always seemed industrious and
unassuming. He was cultured and
polite. His accent, his whole make
up. was totally different from that

And I was only Is years old.
One day after class-it was in
1917-we met on the campus. was
thrilled. He told me of his home
in India, OF the great palace he lived
in, of the enormous estate his family
owned in East Bengal. He was
studying at the university, he said
at the behest of his elder brother,
who wanted him to learn American
social and business customs.
And Abani seemed to have be-
come thoroughly Americsnized, ex'
cept for the color of his skin. his
turban and his beautiful, flashing
smile. Now that l think it over,
l believe 1t was his SMILE that /
really "fell' for.
After the first meeting. we were
together often. To think that an
Indian prince had singled me out
for his attention swept me off my
feet. And he was so kind, so hand
some, so suaye. He was the most
romantic love-maker that l have
ever seen.
The Proposal
When we were returning from
the theater one night, Abani. man
Of the world, Indian nobleman,
virtual ruler of thousands of
subjects, asked me. Betty Kurlow,
native of Chicago. university fresh
man. unsophisticated 1S-year-old girl,
to marry him. 1 kissed him then
for the first time.
1 asked but one thing-that we
live in America Abani promised
and we were married quietly. Al.
most secretly, in a small Chicago
church. No one but my family knew
of our marriage.
Mother and father both opposed
it, but later they came to like Abani
as much as I did No one, it seemed.
could resist his wonderful per-
sonality.
One Wonderful Year
We established ourselves in
small apartment and lived in Chi
cago almost a year in perfect peace
and happiness. Abani was tender.
attentive and remained as romantic
as ever. quit school and kept
house for him while he continued
his studies.
When we had lived there almost
twelve months. Abani wrote to his
family in Calcutta and told them Of
our marriage. They were furious.
His brother sent -Abani a scathing
letting. denouncing him for marry
ing IAN unclean one"
1t was then that l first noticed a
hint of stubbornness, of vindictive-
ness, in my husband-two qualities
which he developed so surprisingly
later on.
