Bachelor Haven
Here, SdysHedd
|0f Widows Club

Did you know that Detroit Is a
bachelors haven and a spinster's
heaven in a world where women

nellie Brooke Stull of Elyria, o.,
founder and president of the 20
year-old Widows and Widowers'
Club has more bachelors and
widowers than any other state in
the union.

attached men, Mrs. Stull is hold
ing her annual regional meeting
here on October 3. 4. and 5. Head
quarters are in the Book Cadillac
Hotel.
$1,000 PROPOSALS
Says Mrs. Stull:
81 am not a match maker. /
just bring lonely people together.
I've probably had more proposals
of marriage In the last 20 years
than any other woman In the
world. I'd say about $4,000.
Did 1 ever accept any OF
them? My dear. I'm happily
married, have been for S3 years.
i adore my husband. Here he
is"
Stull bowed. acknowledging the
introduction.
About bachelors and blondes
Mrs. Stull is caustic:
Bachelors? Like plotting
paper. They blot up everything
I'm sight, give nothing. Blondes?
Unreliable. Out for what they
can get, give nothing"
Mrs. Stull is brunei.
STILL MORE BITTER
About Divorces and career girls
Mrs. Stull is even more bitter than
over blondes and bachelors:
Il call them black spiders
They are a menace to women
who want to be good wives"
Mrs. Stull embarked on her
career of bringing lonely people
together when her father died and
left her mother alone.
II learned for the first time
the appalling lonliness of women
robbed OF their life companion"
she said. "The world is a ter
ribly lonely place. I try to make
IL more friendly. If sometimes
my people get married, then that
Is all to the good. 1 neither en-
courage IL nor hinder IL. I just
let nature take Its course"

 She stood there shaking with fury, while Adela, stimulating extreme fear, backed out of the room follow. cd by the entranced Dr. Stuttgart who Diana was sure nurmured the word Beautiful" several times be- heath his breath.
 When the door closed behind them, Diana st od for q moment longer, then sank to the bed, con- vulsed with helpless laughter in which was mingled strange, heart- shaking tears. Suddenly she con. trolled herself, stopped abruptly, a thought widening her eyes.
 Could 1t be that she was really going insanep Had all the strange things that had happened really unbalanced her mind? Calmly, almost analytically, she examined her reactions, No = sch had never ben saner in her life. It was just that the tension under swhich she had been living had shattered her nerves until one day perhaps con- trol might easily become inpos- sible. And when that day came would Adela finally convince the world that Diana was unbal- ancedp
 Diana's arms encircled the bed- post for q moment and she lay her head down wearily. "Oh, Ste- phen, my dearest" she whispered, come someone soonl"
 A little later she called Evalyn Thorpe on the telephone. Come over and spend the day with me, darling she begged. T have feel ing I'm going to need you"
 An hour later Evalyn's chauf- feur delivered her to the house and the two girls went together to the library where Diana told Evalyn the strange things that had happened,
 DO you think I might have heard his voice really, Evalyn7" Diana asked, her hands clutchlng the blind girls slender fingers.
 T don't know, darling. It's very beautiful to think you did. But it's been so long and we've heard nothing"
 DO you think I act like on in- sane person, Evalyn2'
 Evalyn turned in surprise But my dear, of course notl No one In the world is more sane. These illusions you have about Stephen surely there's nothing unusual about them, Any woman in love might think she heard the voice of her loved one."

 "Of course, darling"
 Diana sighed. Then perhaps you'll think 1t strange that Adeia has convinced everyone in this house that I'm unbalanced. The

CHAPTER xXII

Diana did not resist. What did 1t matter now where she was, In bed or out of it? Across the stretches of time and space stephen Curt had called to her and she had re- ceived his message. Nothing could shake her belief in that.
 She lay down quietly and Adela drew the covers up over her and went quietly out of the room. But outside the door Adela paused, her eyes hard and cruel and tri- umphant.
 Diana must have slept, for when she awakened 1t was to find Adela and Q strange man standing beside her bed, She sat up hastily. What is the meaning of thisp" she demanded indignantly.
 Adela was decidedly nervous. 'r -- was afraid you were i'll, Diana, and I've asked pr. Stuttgart to come to see you"
