CHAPTER xxx


When my mother took me
home from that terrible place,
even my sodden and dazed
brain told me that I could not
stay among sane and decent
people long.
I didn't know what to do my
self, and I wondered what my
mother and my husband were
planning to do for me.
Early in the afternoon Dor
othy Davenport called.
Dorothy Davenport is the
widow Of Wally Reid, the well
beloved screen actor who died
after a futile fight to break the
dope habit.
I knew Wally and Dorothy
very well, and loved them both.
WaIly was handsome, brllllant,
generous, clever - everybody
loved poor Wally.
He was at the top Of the lad
der, in the world of the pic
lures, he had an unusual fol
lowing, among people who did
not care at all for the coarser
and more ordinary actors OF
the screen.
CIutched by Dope
He was happily married, he
was young, rich, successful
but dope got him, Just the same.
Dope got him and dope killed
him-just as it was killing me.
There was something strange
about Dorothy on this particu-
lar afternoon when she came
to see me. She seemed unusu-
ally sad, and ! could see that
she had something special on
her mind. She talked with me
about Wally, and his tragic
death. I could see she was try
ing to make me realize what a
terrible position I was in.
What is it she is trying to

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
1 am to be married soon
and my husband-to-be would
like to have his married
brother for his best man, as
his wife is to be matron Of
honor, but my friends think
this is improper. Is this true?
The groom has no other
brother that could act as best
man.
2. am having two brides
maids and one will have to
walk out of the church with
the best man, which is OBJ
jected to, too. EVA.
I. Indeed, far from being i'm
proper, this seems to be the
perfect arrangement. That is,
provided the one person in the
world whom you wish to have
for your matron of honor is the
wife of your fiance's br )ther,
and that the one person in the
world that the groom-to-be
wishes to have for his best man
is this married brother. Such
a wedding party is a charming
arrangement.
2. The objection in this case
I sustain" too. Nowadays it
is supposed to be most outof-
date and unintereSting form
for the members of the wedding
party to be paired" Except
for the fact that the bride and
groom walk down the aisle to
gether, the other units of the
wedding party walk as they did
in the occasional, but in the
reverse order. The maid Of
honor, or matron of honor,
walks alone, following the bride
and groom. Then following her
come the bridesmaids, walking
together, two by two. And last
the usherS, walking together,
two by two. The best man
does not walk in the recessional
going directly after the reces-
Siona1 has started to the vestrJ,
where he gets the groom'S hat
and coat to take to the car at
the front Of the church.

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 10.-(AP)-
After hurting himself from the third
story room of Fargo hotel to the
icy sidewalk Wednesday night, John
Holy Elkface, Fort Yates, N. D., In
dian, brought here to testify before
the Federal Court now in session.
died in a Fargo hospital Thursday
morning. One side of the mans
head was crushed.
The Indian hurled himself through
a window about 8. p. m. His body
missed pedestrians.
Within q short time after he was
taken to a hospital, officials raided
a cafe and arrested Daisy DunphX
about so, on a charge Of engaging
in the liquor traffic. She was lodg-
ed in the county Jail. Fargo police
said she had been arrested by local
officers previously on sim i q +
charges.
Carl Lucken, Fargo, also is held.
Officials assert Mrs. Dunphy sold
liquor to Elkface which she, in turn
had purchased from Lucken.
Elkface, about As years old, was
brought here with several other In
dians from the Standing Rock Reser-
vation to testify in cases involving
violation of federal prohibition laws
on the reservation.
Several Indians staged a party"
early Wednesday evening when two
Indians escaped from persons ac-
companying them and police were
called to round them up.
Elkface, in the meantime, had re-
turned to the hotel where the group
was staying. He was sent to his
room by the officer in charge Of the
group. Alone, he apparently waited
only a short time before diving
from the window.
+ Physicians attending Elkface said
they Jailed to detect liquor on his
breath.
The two "lost" Indians had been
located in the meantime but denied
knowing of any motive which would
cause Elkface to leap from his room.
