THIS Has

SYBlL THORNE, Boston so
ciety girl, has scandalized her
little world by having a baby,
and failing to present it's father.
Her husband, RICHARD EUS-
IT'S, was a fascinating adventur-
err whom Sybil met on a trip to
Havana. The marriage lasted
two weeks. SYPHILIS baby is
born the following spring in
Boston, and Sybil finds herself
rather %ostracised by people who
decline to accept the story of
her marriage.
SybiI's brother, TAD, is mar
ried to a girl named VALERIE,
a selfish little creature, whose
great redeemine trait is an over
wheIming love for Sybil's baby.
Valerie will not have a child
herself.
DOLLY WESTON, one of Va
lerie's frivolous friends, finds
Sybil and MABEL MOORE

excitedIy that she has dreadful
news of Valerie.

British Fleet Visits
 In Turkish Territory

Constantinople, Oct. 12 R-Part of the British Mediterranean fleet visited Constantinople today, the first call made upon the Turkey of Mustapha Renal Pasha by the Brit ish navy.
 Among the ships was the Queen Elizabeth, with Admiral Field who was believed to bear greetings of the new British labor government to the Turkish republic. The Turkish lAltary museum at Seraglio Point contains shells shot by the Queen Elizabeth against Turkish forts at GallipOli during the great var.
 Much importance was attached here 10 the visit at this time of Brit ish warships. It was believed the Turkish government invited the demonstration as evidence that Greece does not have a monopoly of British friendship in this part of the world. It was suggested also Great Britain hastcned to accept the invi- tation desiring a friendly Turkey bordering the lraq when that coun- try is granted its full independence.
