American as Bride Sought by King Zog Albanian Monarch Desires Tall, Fair Queen. Who Is Rich. BY DOROTHY DUNBAR BROMLEY Tlibm Special Writer S INC 15 Barbara Hutton was out for adventure in a big way, it is too bad she didn't wait a few years. She might have won a crown instead of the dubious title of a wandering Russian prince—than which there is nothing more common. King Zog of Albania now trumpets the news to whom it may concern that he is in the market for an American bride. She must be fair and tall, and she must bring in her baggage a bagatelle, of one million dollars a year, at least. According to the dispatch, she must also have intelligence and courage. She would need plenty of both. The finances of this small mountain kingdom are in a bad way, since none of the larger European nations has been willing to play angel to it. Ar.d the atmosphere of the country, with Its blood feuds, brigands and prevalent Mohammedan faith, in which Zog shares, is like that of a primitive pre-Christian country. King Zog hasn't had much luck finding a consort in Europe. Not that he is a failure with women. He seems to have been an even greater menace to the feminine heart than King Carol of Rumania. But for various and sundry reasons European royalty does not consider him eligible. Makes Gallant Admission Zog, in his queenless and heirless state, with his kingdom threatened for lack of funds, gallantly insists that he has always had a fatal penchant for American girls. He is said to have requested a former American minister to draw up an inventory of prospective brides. What better occupation for an idle diplomat? But nothing seems to have come of any overtures the minister may have made in this country, so now Zog virtually advertises for an American consort. Let's sep what he has to offer. He Is one of those handsome daredevil creatures at home only on the battlefield or in a lady's boudoir. He could probably give cards and spades in the art of love to the best paid gigolo in New York. His mountain kingdom may be primitive, but the haunts of Vienna and Bucharest have seen him often enough. The trouble is that his love-making might be so unorthodox as to be unacceptable even to an ex-citement-eating American heiress. It ought to be easy enough for the pot impossible she to go in for the Mohammedan faith. American women of the restless leisure class love to dabble in the occult. I give you the galaxy of women, including a Vanderbilt, who worship at the feet of the Omnipotent Oom in his Nyack <N. Y.) stronghold. Stays Wed to Maharajah T give you, too, Nancy Miller, of Seattle, who embraced the Hindu faith when she married the Maharajah of Indore. She has stayed married longer than any one expected. The Maharajah may have in the past played fast and loose with women, but Nancy seems to have kept him under the conjugal roof. What King Zog needs is a woman with the spirit of a Lady Mcßeth. It is rumored that he has cut his way to the throne with his sword. And there are signs that the bloody work is not yet finished. The periodic attempts that are made from time "to time on his existence would add considerably to the spice of palace life. I shouldn't fare for the assignment myself, but I can think of r ore boresome roles for a young American heiress whose New York orbit is limited by night clubs. Zog would be a great trial as a husband. He has a catholic taste in women, ranging from gardener's danghters to diplomat's wives. It is rumored that he tried to abduct a lady of the diplomatic corps. But if a woman were strong-minded enough she

BEGIN HERE TODAY: Treasure McGuire. • 18 1* * hostess In a San Francisco r.ißht club But this environment ha* not ben able to stain her character or sour her outiooic on hfe. In the night club she has on the hatred of Juanita Defoe, another hostess. who Is .nsplred by the fact that Treasure s ' ar.eel face diverted from Juanita tne at-enMor.s r.f Rudolf Mollnarl, rich, handsome young business man. , Treasure, however. Is In love with Rudolf's bro’her. Anthonv who Is 20 and who has none of the dissipa'ed sophistication of his eider brother Rudolf had not icnown of the infatuation of these two. H:s interest :n Treasure disappeared when she repulsed him But on New Year's Eve he returns to the nigh, club Treasure sees him in cor.ser>a - ion with Juanita and when Tony comes ir.. Rudolf goes to his table Tony and Treasure had planned a drive to grt the new year, but she receives a note from Tony. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER ELEVEN SOME one has been talking to R. If I try to stay ne will cause a scene. Hang around as long as you can, Sweet. I'll come back if possible. I love you.” Treasure read the hastily scrawled words again and again. Juanita had told Rudolf about his brother's constant attendance at the night club, but even so was that any reason for his causing a scene? And why was the younger boy so afraid of him? Puzzled and unhappy, she tucked the note inside the bosom of her dress against the warm flesh. At least he hadn't gone away without pxplaining to her. But he had gone. When she returned to the dance floor she saw that his table was vacant. “Hang around as long as you can,” Tony had begged. She would do that but how those long hours dragged! How miserably tawdry it all seemed! This effort to be merry on the part of persons who so obviously had no reason for celebrating the advent of a New Year. When the sun came she was still dancing. It was the moment she had planned to spend in Tony’s arms. Instead she found herself surrounded by drunken, weary, revelers in crumpled, untidy clothes. The women with rouge standing out in blotches upon their checks, .ooked years older than they had the night before. Even Treasure’s blue eyes were circled with fatigue. The smile she wore felt as if it had been stamped across her lips. Anthony did not return. W’hcn the last table had been deserted and there was no possible excuse for waiting any longer Treasure went to the check stand for her hat and coat. Juanita’s eyes met hers. "Happy New Year,” she sneered. Treasure did not reply. If it was to be war between them let it be war. But the words seemed an evil omen. Would the New Year bring happiness as they had planned or would it continue as it had started? Soberly she turned toward the door to be stopped by Pete. "The club's going to be closed for a week,” ha said. The information surprised her, but she added. "Have to make some repairs, and this seems to be the best time for it.” So that now if Anthony sought her here he would not find her. He knew where she lived but she had asked him not to come to the house since her father's scolding. For the first time since she had started to work at the club she had
might be able to manage him, as they say his deceased mother did. Zog’s American wife, if he finds one, will find it hard to adjust herself to Mohammedan ethics. We Christians of the Western world are ruthless in a hundred ways in our relations with our fellow men. But we are not so cavalier about spilling blood. Lady Mcßeth. you will remember, said that all the perfumes of Arabia could not cleanse her small hand. But among the Mohammedans a breach of hospitality or the breaking of a pledge is a worse transgression than murder. A European or American living among them must have a very upside down feeling. Unfortunately for Zog few’ women have a Richard Harding Davis sense of adventure. If more did Zog would have had an offer by this time hot on the cables. Albania is a p ' tet handkerchief of a kingdom, bn it is one of those pivotal Balkan states. If Zog should fall, and if his sworn blood enemies should upset the entente which he has set up with Italy, another war tremor would shake Europe. Zog’s queen would have a box seat at the conflagration, although her act might soon be over.
no one to take her home. Never had she been so weary but she could not afford a taxi. She stood on the corner waiting for a car feeling bedraggled and forlorn. Dreading a possible scene with her father when she reached home. But although he eyed her disapprovingly he made no comment as she dragged through the living room into the kitchen where her mother was cooking breakfast. Ellen, who was feeling better every day, looked up with a smile which changed to concern. "Goodness me, Treasure, what’s the matter?” The girl sank into a chair by the table sighing, "Tir. tired. May I have a cup of coffee? Ellen poured it for her whispering. "Didn’t Tony bring you home?” "No, he couldn’t wait.” She drank the coffee gratefully and fell into bed to sleep until 4 o'clock. When she wakened the room was dark and cold. With an unprecedented sense of foreboding she felt that all was not well with Anthony. Perhaps they would send him away. Perhaps she was never to see him again! Her overwrought nerves snapped and she broke into tears. Ellen’s voice roused her. "What’s the matter honey?” "Nothing,” she sobbed. It was the usual situation reversed. Always before it was Treasure who had done the comforting but it made Ellen strangely happy to be able to take the quivering little figure in her arms, saying gentry, ‘‘Tell mama all about it.” Treasure couldn’t do it. It would have been impossible for her to put the confusion of doubt and longing in her heart into words but her mother’s loving presence consoled her just as her own childish sympathy had so often strengthened the older woman. a a a \ FTER she had bathed and t-T*- dressed she felt better and as if to reward her for this renewed optimism Tony suddenly appeared before the door driving his mother’s car. Her father saw him first. With smoky blue eyes narrowed to a glint he stated, “That’s wop’s not coming in my house again.” “What does it matter?” Treasure thought running for her hat and coat, answering “All right, papa!” Wondering if he would forbid her going out. “If he does I’ll go anyway,” she decided. She met Tony at the door and without inviting him in cried, “I was just coming out.”

His face was more serious than usual. “I had to see you, Treasure.” “I know.” she babbled almost delirious with joy at seeing him. “But you don’t know, darling! It’s all so much worse than you can possibly imagine,” he cried tragically. She stared at him then feeling again that uncanny sense of foreboding but he did not explain until they were away from the house driving towards the ocean. When he finally spoke his voice was ragged with emtion. “Do you trust me, Treasure?’ She put her hand over his on the steering wheel. “You know I do!” “Enough to do what I ask no matter how unreasonable it may seem?” “You wouldn’t ask me to do anything wrong, Tony?” It was not a question but a statement —an innocent confession of faith. "Os course not, Sweet! It’s like this but I will begin at the beginning. Juanita told Rudy all about us last night. You probably guessed that.” “I was afraid of it.” “Well, Rudy was furious. He’s been sore at you ever since you wouldn’t go home with him that night but ne’d never dreamed I’d been seeing you. He’d been drinking, too, of course, and he made threats as he always does when he’s angry. If I hadn’t gone home with him he'd have raised such a row I didn't dare risk staying.” “That was all right, dear. I understood.” “But the worst is yet to come,” he warned her. “After he got home he told my mother and they threatened if I didn’t quit seeing you to take away my allowance.” “But don’t you work in father’s factory?” “Not yet, although I’m supposed to start the first of this year.” “Well, then,” she said triumphantly. “They don’t even have to let me do that until after my birthday,” he reminded her. “I’m in their power.” He looked so dramatic as he said this he made her think of Carlos. Only Tony was infinitely dearer, of course. “Never mind, darling,” she said attempting to comfort him. "But I do mind,” he cried tempestuously. "They can’t treat me like that. Even if I’m not of age, I'm not a child. Yet, if I come to the night club again Juanita is to telephone Rudolf.” "And my father won’t let you see me at home.” “You see. There’s no other way.

They’re forcing us to it.” “To what. Tony?” He had stopped the car and they were looking out across a restless sea. “If we were married,” he said. “No one could prevent our seeing each other.” a b a THE words tumbled from his mouth as if he were afraid | she might try to stop them. “Listen, darling, this is my idea. I couldn’t sleep all night for thinking of it. Mother’s sending me up to Tahoe for the winter sports. Sort of a reward in advance for not seeing you. When I come back they expect me to be cured. But if I take you with me. ... If we are married up there. . . Her eyes were the blue of sapphires! Tender! “It would be wonderful but they wouldn’t let us.” “They wouldn’t know it. We'd keep it a secret until I was 21.” His arm was about her. His dark eyes searching hers. “Say you will, Treasure. It’s asking a lot, I know, but afterwards I’ll make it up to you.” “But how could we manage?” the girl said practically. “We could take an apartment.” “We couldn’t live together?” “I couldn't live there,” he admitted. But you could and I could come every day.” It didn’t sound quite reasonable, but the thought of not seeing him again had plunged her into a despair almost as great as his own. “I’ll have to tell my mother.” “Os course! That would be all right,” he granted, seeing her weakening. “And you could quit working. Juanita couldn't check up on you then.” To have an apartment of her own where he might come to see her would be simply heavenly she conconfessed. “Then you’ll do it, sweet? Oh, tell me that you will. If you knew what I've suffered since last night . . She had suffered, too, she reflected. Never so much in her life as in those dark hours at the club waiting for his return. “I want to do it, Tony. If I could only be sure it would be the best thing for you,” she hesitated. He seized her hands covering them with kisses. • “It will be. You’ll see. The best thing—the very greatest thing—that can ever happen to either of us.” Swept by the tide of his emotion as well as the conviction of her own heart that he was to be the one love of her life, Treasure promised. She would marry Tony and everything would be all right. Even her old fear of marriage was unable to daunt hen Anthony would be different from her father. Their marriage could never be like that of ner parents. What had they known of love? Hastily Tony related his plans. She was to buy a ticket and take the train to Reno. He would drive up. They could be married and return to Tahoe for a honeymoon. It sounded so simple! “So right,” Treasure thought, accepting the money he gave her without a qualm. But when she told her mother about it, Ellen, for all those dreams of hers, was not so sure “I don’t like the idea of a secret marriage,” she objected. “I don’t see why they don’t want him to go with you. There isn’t a better girl nor a prettier one in San Francisco.” “That hasn’t anything to do with it, mama! They’re enormously wealthy you know and to them I’m just a poor little nobody. It wouldn't matter how good I am.” “It should,” Ellen declared stoutly. “They ought to be proud.” “Even if it is kept a secret for a few months that won’t alter the fact that we are married,” Treasure argued. “No, that’s so! And you’re of age even if he isn’t. But how can he get a license if he isn’t 21?” Treasure hadn’t though of that. She hated to think he’d have to lie about it, but even if he did wouldn't the result justify it? Surely such a little lie would be justified by a love as overwhelmas theirs. (To Be Continued)

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridie Leag.’e HERE'S a hand chock full of action. Look at the bidding. Anything that North and South bid, East and West have control of and still tChen North and South find the best spot the contract can not be defeated. You might question East’s double, but do you know that he can tell from the bidding that West holds five trump? South’s bid shows six diamonds and five hearts. It might be sevensix, but the odds favor the six-five distribution. The diamonds were bid first, showing more diamonds than hearts, and the hearts were rebid, showing at least five hearts. North did not support hearts at his first opportunity; therefore, you know that North does not hold four hearts. Add them up, five in the South hand, less than four in the North hand, which leaves West with at least five. Therefore, East should not be criticised for his double. There are a lot of interesting plays to this hand, but I will give jou the way it was played in a recent duplicate game in Cleveland. nun WEST opens the queen of diamonds. East wins with the aee and immediately cashes the ace of clubs. Then he returns a small d'ar.iond, West ruffs in with the sever*, and dummy over ruffs with the jack. Now here's an interesting play. If declarer leads a small spade and West is smart enough, when South plays his ace, king and queen of hearts, to get rid of his high trump so that he can not win a trump trick. South will have to make an end play on diamonds to keep from losing his contract. If South were to make a mistake and cash his king of diamonds first,

he then would lose two tricks to the jack and nine of diamonds. So what he has to do is lead a small diamond and he will then have ten-ace position in diamonds over the East hand. The proper play for South is to lead a heart and keep his king of spades. He should then cash the ace, king and queen of hearts, then the king of spades. And now he can throw West into the lead with the high trump. West will have to lead a spade or club and the losing diamonds can be discarded. You can have a lot of fun with this hand if you lay the cards out. Can you imagine West deliberately giving up a trump trick to try to defeat the contract? (Copyright. 1935. NEA Service. Inc.)
