AS an American girl married to the
popular hero whom she loves madly; as
the diSillusioned who finds her huS-
bands virtues merely a mask for his
secret philandering; as the reckless
thrill seeker, seeking desperately to
drown her pride in one wild escapade

Again, as in "Anybody's Woman" and

Mrs. Underhill Describes
Fellow Voyagers on Trip

While the freighter that is to carry
her and Mr.. Underhill to England was
locked at Los Angeles, Mrs. w. M.
Underhill took time out to write a
short letter to White Bluffs friends
and it is being passed on to Spokes-
man readers:
Here we are at Los Angeles, having
had splendid weather, a comparatively
smooth sea and pleasant travelling
companions so far. We got up at five
O. clock to see the harbor as we en-
tered and the sight was worthy the
effort of early rising. They have built
long sea wall, at the end of which
is a light house with fog horn whose
sound makes me think of the below
of Paul Bunyon's Blue OK. The har-
Dor is teeming with shipping and is
an extremely interesting sight. Ships
of all sorts from the one man troller
to the big purse seiners, great ocean
liners and also the freighters such as
we are on. Now will have to turn
