Blackstone Cafe that he is soon to
be rejoined with his 19-year-old
daughter whom he has not seen for
IL years. The cablegram was sent
by his daughter. Christian, as she

Seventeen years ago. discouraged
by the death of his wife, Spero left
his native home at Patras, Greece,

promise over the Atlantic ocean. He
left his one-year-old daughter to the
tender care of his mother.
After coming to America, Allis
kept up constant correspondence
with his mother. a large portion Of
which concerned Christian. Often
times the young daughter placed her
scribbling marks on her grandmoth-
cr's letters to be sent to her father.
Soon it was time for the child to
enter school and Spero insisted that
she be educated in an American
Greek convent.
The scrawling marks on the little
girls letters gradually began to re-
solve themselves into English words.
Christian now has graduated from
the convent. an equivalent of Amer
lean colleges, and speaks English,
French and Greek fluently. While
Allis was expecting his daughter to
come soon, the cablegram came
