HANKOW, November .27.-The

tered another victory today over Mar
shall Sun Chuan-Fang, dictator of
Eastern China, when Suns troops
were driven out of Anking. capital of
Anhwei province. Reports to the
Cantonese headquarters here stated
that the Cantonese were in possession
of the city.
Sun already had lost the prov
of effort to halt the Cantonese be-
tween Kiukiang and Anking in their
advance down the Yangtze toward
Suns headquarters at Nanking and
toward Shanghai.
Sun already had laost the prov
inces of Fukien and Kiangsi to the
Cantonese, and today's dispatches in

province of Anhwei. Only the prov
inces of Kiangsu, in which Shanghai
is a chief city, and Chekiang remain

these there are rumors of political
intrigue against Sun Chuan-F Fang, a
few months ago called the overlord of
eastern China.
The Cantonese also are active in
western Hupeh and have taken pos

Is There Hope for Lucille

Lucille wonders whether the future
holds anything for her-now that she
has made an alarming discovery.
She's known Will all her life, and
they've been the grandest pals in the
world. They played together when
they were kids, went to school to-
gether, conflded in each other over
their respective love affairs. Wills
the best friend she has. She's always
been happy with him. He's enjoyed
her society even while he confessed
himself madly in love with some
body else.
And now she's gone and done tt
she's fallen in love desperately with
ship on the blink forever by expert
encing terrific heart-throbs whenever
he comes near her. It's impossible
for her to go ahead with the platonic
relationship as it now stands.
She can't bear to see him so con-
stantly and know that he loves some
body else; she can't stand his con-
stant companionship when she real

than the sympathetic listener. She

love with her. She feels that the
latter is impossible and yet hates to
resort to the former.
Propinquity works wonders on the
feminine heart. Lucille's constant
companionship with a nice, likable
chap who is fond Of her has brought
about natural result--She'S grown
sentimental about him.
There's a tifty-fifty chance that the
sentiment is real and genuine. In
that case Lucille must take steps to
gain her desired end. She must
break away from willy-boy, and do 1t
SO gradually and SO gently he won't
know what's happening.
Maybe, when he finds the old pal
slipping away. he'll turn around with
a start to find out that he's missing
her more than he'd believed possible.
Once he's got out of the habit Of
thinking of her as just the nice old
standby, his thoughts may take the
turn that she's worth praying for.
On the other hand, the shock of
her departure may not seem so cruel
as he could wish. The she's just
got to go back to the old standard
for a while, and hope that her con.
tinual sympathetic understanding and
tender devotion will bring the de-
sired result in her man.
But she mustn't go on too long
hoping. I can't tell you all that
often enough.
If she sees that there is no hope
for her--and she'll have intuition
enough to know sooner or later
she's just got to fade out. 1t will
hurt for a while, but it will be better
in the end than enduring the agony
of playing the role of best friend to
the man you love more than any one
else.
Try both methods for a while,
Lucille. IF they don't work. to save
yourself, you must fade out Of the
