we were married. We had gone through a

Edith was working as a night club on

few months of their married life Then
Whitley wrote that IL would be all RIGHT for
her to come to Spain and she did It was AN
right except that she never saw him because
he was always on duty.

about her awkward" position2 Interviewed
IN little Idaho town which she refers 10 as
a 'whiste-stop" the showgir dancer-singer
and violin soloist had this TO say about get
ting the last curtain Of her international love
drama IN the neck:
Don't be too sorry for me. His mar
rage in Canada relieves me of great bur
den of responsibility. I have read that in
the olden times when person rescued ship
wrecked stranger from drowning the res
cuer was held responsible for anything the
stranger did while remaining in the COM
munity. That is the way things worked out
for me.
Il saved his life and just for that have
been responsible for his debts ever since He
lived on my credit in hotels In New York
he ran up a $3.50 hotel bill and left my bag
gage as security, taking his own along 10
start another bill elsewhere.
1T was like that all over the country his
checks that 1 had TO make good hotel and
clothing bills l had 10 pay because l loved
him, hoped he would get sensible some day
and for another reason, III explain later.
First I want to say that Whney that is
Harold, doesn't mean wrong if ne ever means
anything at all. He simply can't keep from
doing such things He is thirty three and
am thrty-four, but mentally l am at least
twenty years older than he is now or ever
will be
when they say a person is up in the
air il means that he is IN more or less ir-
responsible state of mind and when they say
he has his feet solidly on the ground they
mean that he is well-balanced responsible
person. With Whitley it is the opposite.

is one of the best, most reliable pilots that
ever lived But once he gets both feet on
the ground, he is nothing but an overgrown
child whose mind never grew up You have
TO mind him like a child or ne will do the
darnedest things, with the most cheerful
innocence.
Now 1 come to that other reason As
long as I was believed 70 be Mrs. Dahl most
people thought me commercial cashing in on
The fact that had saved "a hero's life. 1 don't
think I am exactly the girl that men for

Shakespeare.
h QOBODY denies that it is a true match
NJ or that the bride may be just the right
v girl for ace-war- pilot, Harold Dahl and
who can say that they viii not live happily
ever after?
And yet all over the world there were
signs Of disappointment at the news that
Whitley Dahl had married Eleanor Robin
Bone charming daughter Of the former Mayor
OF Beleine Ontario.
Sentimentally. il was the wrong ending
for the one glorious romance of the Spanish
civil War, The hero had not married the
beautiful, blond heroine, Edith Rogers, who
saved him from General Frances firing squad.
II was even sadder than that,
Lovely Ediths letter which brought a lump
90 the throat of everyone who read IT, even
the hard-bitten Generalssimo Franco. ran as
follows:
we have been married only eight months.
] am all alone. He flew only TO get money
for me.
Il know that YOU are an intelligent man
with "A great heart and much courage. Your
victory is So near that the life OF one United
States pilot can not mean very much 10 YOU. l
promise you that ne will never bear arms
again. / trust your understanding
II was an actress for many years and
only now have l found nay happiness Please
don't destroy IT, Please answer my letter
SO I may know what 20 do and if I may hope"
with the letter she enclosed another and
quite irrelevant argument a striking picture
~ herself.
spaniards being a dark race are gentle
men who prefer blondes decidedly
The Commander in Chief read the letter
and with his bleakest war expression de-
manded.
"what difference does it make whether
this man rs a bachelor or married 10 a pretty
blonde or 20 a cross-eyed brunette The only
question is whether or not ne deserves death.
Let the court martial proceed"
But he had TO clear this throat before he
spoke and. though he tossed the letter into
a drawer, Ediths picture remained on his
desk. The officers of the court martial hav-
ing seen nothing of the letter or picture,

Nobody dreamed that Harold and Edith
were not man and wife until the other day
Harold stated 10 the Reverend W J. Walker.

that ne had never been married 20 anyone,
So Edith had not been his wife when she
wrote the letter that was read around the
world Wen. this could bee understood but
when Harold returned 10 New York and the
arms Of the girl who mad saved him from
looking into six rifles at sunrise. Why did he
neglect TO make an honest woman Of her.
As they used 20 say
The trouble seems 20 bee that he no longer
loved Edith. and "A love that has gone cannot
be bought back with gold or even gratitude
Would IL have been true kindness for

men. TO have married thisS one pretending
that his heart had not grown cold TO her or

The bride went into her husbands past a

wedding:
