Falsehood Destroys Happiness Shattered Romance of Man in Prison Affords Proof of Point. BY' HELEN WELSHIMER ST \ Staff Writer Tkjf ARIA did not wait. She married somebody else while Michelangelo Gentilcore was serving 22 years In a Minnesota prison lor the murder of a man over money. Maria didn't tell Michelangelo she had married, though. Instead she sent him let-

of his dreams shattered. We have no criticism to make of! Marie because she loved again and' married. America was strange and; far away, and Michelangelo became! a memory, distant as someone in a bock of happy tales that she had read long ago when spring was new and sharp. First love is sweet, a preface to devotion, but it does not always I end in that deepening love which I maturity brings. Marie never had j the opportunity to let that early; affection develop into the strength of an abiding love. Dishonesty Hurt Most No. we do not censure her for! marrying but we take issue with > her most severely for her dishonesty. True, she meant to be kind; to shield Michelangelo from the knowledge that she no longer loved him until he was free from prison. Blindly she believed that he would be better able to cope with the dis- I enenantment then. She was wrong. ! Michelangelo was busy in prison. I He was happy, too. He received a j liberal education, learned to speak J several languages and play several I musical instruments. He could have accepted Maria's loss with greater composure and strength during the busy days in a brave; new world. Then, too, clean wounds heal best. But during these j new days, into his larger development. the prisoner carried the giri's love, forgetting that it might not be growing in the direction of his own I progress. There is no way to chart the progress of affection that is accepted before a man and woman separately have attained a maturity of values. Faith Given Blow However, having no contacts with other women, it was natural that Michelangelo should cherish the memory which Maria herself assured him would some day be a reality. The longer a dream of love is carried along the more upsetting its going becomes. There is danger that, though Michelangelo finds he really has no love for Maria, he will discover that her deceit has worked injury to a faith which prison had healed. Maria was being human. None of us like to hurt others. We will be dishonest rather than unkind. We want to do the right thing and in our ignorance we do the wrong one. So few of us realize that no lasting happiness is ever built on a false structure. Sooner or later our deceit is discovered. Series to Continue Second of a series of card parties will be given by the International Travel-Study Club Inc. at 2 tomorrow in the Sears. Roebuck & Cos. social room. Mrs. Joseph Sahakian and Mrs. L. K. Arford will be cochairmen.

Treasure * mother It fits the modern demand for ‘’blues" and Treasure'* husky though untrained voice fits the song This professional success had come to Treasure through Oliver Keith, leader of a successful orchestra with which she sings Oliver has loved her alr.ee before she met Anthony Moltnarl. the father of her son. whose marriage so her has been annulled nearly a year ago by his mother. Treasure had been 18 Tony but 20. when they were married Because Tony had allowed the lies of his brother.

One night Tony and his fiancee come to the I club. Tonv recognizes her and she him Bo‘h are greatly upset and Tony comes back the next night alone Treasure agrees by note to see him. In the interview she learns that he had sent : her a check for SIOOO Her mother had endorsed It. Treasure vows that even | though the money sustained her when she was bearing his son. she will repay it—but she does not tell Tony of the babv She feels the child Is hers alone NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT HE stopped the car now—was it unwittingly?—in the thin line of cars in the Marina. Lighted ferries still drifted phantomlike through the fog; music again came softly from some one’s iadio; but, I oh. how different it was. Anthony’s | face was turned away from her and it was set and angry. "Then when I returned from New York I found you back at that same dive although it was the one thing I had asked you not to do,” he continued. “What’s the use to quarrel about it, Tony? It’s all over now. You don’t seem to understand that I had to do what I could to support myself.” ’’You couldn’t have done that,” he groaned, “if you had cared as much as I did. I loved you so much. Treasure. It almost killed me to give you up.” “I loved you, too,” she faltered. “I went through hell,” he confessed. “But it never entered my mind that you must have suffered too until I saw you again.” She was silent. “I loved you more than anything in the wor.d,” Tony repeated brokenly. “There’s no use talking about It now, Tony. I have my own life to live and yon have yours.” “I thought that, too,” he declared. “I Delieved I had put you out of my heart forever but there are some oes which can never be broken. Wnen I heard you singing last night T knew I had to see you. Not even mvself would I admit why. I lied when I said it was because I wanted to offer you money I wanted to see you again for another reason ” Treasure's heart was pounding. “Wny?" she whispered. “Because i still love you.” he ad"’Htc'd. “Even though I can’t trust you.” In another moment she would have been In his arms but now. hearing his lack of faith, she drew back feeling chilled and alienated. “Take me home. Tony. nl°ase! There’s nothing to be gained by goizvr into all this again.” “Kiss me.” he pleaded, “just once” “No!" she choked, swallowing the *<ars which had rushed into her th-nat ‘Take me home.” Without another word he started the ear and in a silence which widened *he chasm already between them thev returned to the aoartmnt. where, imirrnwn to Anthony his son was sleeping.

But the hand he held out to her was rold and Treasure was shaking from head to foot. a a a ▼ w TITHOUT undressing she flung vv herself unon the couch in the living room and it was there Ellen found her the next morning. She had not even tiptoed in to kiss her cipepipw baby. For the first time the father seemed more real to her than his son. And he had wakened all the old longings she had hoped were over forever. “What Is the matter with you?” Ellen cried. Treasure rubbed her eyes. She had slept so heavily that she felt drugged. “Tony brought me home last night.” Ellen turned pale. “What did he want?” she demanded. Guilt was in every line of her face and fluttering hands but Treasure understood too well the reason for her mother’s dee ption to be unkind about it. “Y’ou shouldn't have done it,” she said. “He told you?” “He told me he had sent me a check for SIOOO early in Octobei which had been endorsed anc : cashed.” Ellen's lips trembled. “I had to do it.

i came the day after the baby was born. I was afraid to give it to you then and when I held it up in the light I could see it was a check.” “Just a check?” the girl asked wistfully. "Yes. Just a check made out to Treasurs McGuire for a SIOOO. I wrote your name or. the back and took it down to the jank at the corner. They know me there and they put it in an account for us. “If I had known it was his money “That was just it,” her mother cried eagerly. “You’d have sent it back to him and I knew it. That money was coming to you. You were entitled to it if ever a girl was.” She looked so anxious that j Treasure put her arms around ner j saying, “Never mind, dear! You are probably right. It’s a good thing I didn’t know about it because it certainly did make things easier.” ’’Then you won’t be silly enough to pay it back?” “We’ll see,” Treasure answered evasively, but she told herself that even though she was entitled to it she would pay every penny of it back. Until she did she would never feel that their baby belonged exclusively to her. When Treasure went over to the Band Box that night Oliver greeted her coldly. She understood why and did not blame him but, because she was determined not to let anything spoil the perfect friendship they had she pretended not to notice it .When it was time to close and the musicians were putting away their instruments Oliver put on his hat and stalked off without waiting for her. Treasure ran after him. “Busy tonight, Oliver?” His eyes evaded hers. “I supposed you’d be.” “Well, I’m not,” she said taking his arm and accompanying him to his car. But Oliver was not thus easily appeased. After they had started home he said, “Don’t be kind to me. It isn’t neccessary.” “I’m not,” she declared. “It’s none of my business what you do.” “That’s true, too! But considering that you’re the best friend I have ever had I don’t like to do anything you dissapprove of.” Slightly mollified by this Oliver said. “You told me he didn’t mean anything to you any more.” “He doesn't. But I couldn’t absolutely refuse to see him, could I?” “I don’t see why you couldn’t after the w T ay he’s treated you.” “He didn’t mean to be cruel, Oli-

When you are playing accompaniments each chord yon strike should (In general) contain the note of the melody that is sounded with the chord. You can study this out from the charts, hot few persons should need mure instruction on this point than the ear itself can give. Persistence is necessary if you are to learn much from these lessons.

ver, Tony honestly feels justified in everything he has done.” The piano player shrugged. “So I suppose you are going back to .jm?” “Certainly not! He didn’t even ask me to. He's marrying someone else.” “If he did,” Oliver insisted, "ask you to, I mean, you’d go?. Isn’t that right?” a a a TREASURE did not reply at once, then she answered honestly “No I don’t think I would. It wouldn’t work. You see he doesn’t trust me.” Oliver's face was white. “You’re still in love with him, Treasure. You may not realize it but you are.” In love with him? Well perhaps! If being in love meant the mad desire to kiss him. “If you weren’t,” Oliver continued, “You wouldn’t be defending him.” “I didn’t mean to defend him. It’s only that I understand, as I didn't before, how Tony felt about it. He was unfair to me, of course, but from his point of view and taking everything so seriously as he always does . . .” “Oh skip it ” Oliver cried bitterly. “Every word you say only convinces me more. He would come back just as I thought you were getting over it.” He went on blindly involving himself deeper with every word, as if once started it was impossible to stop. “I’ve been so pleased with you, Treasure. So interested in your future. There isn’t anything under Heaven I wouldn’t do for you.” “Oliver darling, I know that. And you know how grateful I am. Everything I have I owe to you.” “You don’t owe me anything,” he retorted. But I had hoped—l thought when a little more time had elapsed that you and I . . .We’ve been so happy working together. .We have so much in common ...” Treasure could have wept. She put her hand over his saying, “We surely have, Oliver! It has meant just as much to me as it has to you. Why does the fact that I saw Tony again just once have to change it?” “Was it only once?” he insisted. “Do you mean you won’t see him again if he asks you?” “No I won’t. There’s nothing more to be said.” “If I could believe that.” “You can dear! Tony is a part of my past—but you are of my present.” (To Be Continued.)

M'GUFFEYITES WILL OBSERVE TENTHBIRTHDAY Anniversary Celebration of State Group Arranged for Thursday. A kindly Miami University professor and Presbyterian minister who saw the need for reading material in the common schools published in 1836 the first of the famed “McGuffey Readers.” The Indiana McGuffey Club will observe its Tenth Anniversary at 8 Thursday night in Hollenbeck Hall at the Y. W. C. A., 328 N. Pennsylvania-st. The 550 members of the organization in their school days studied the “moral and educational” lessons in the readers. Dr. Stanley Coulter, dean emeritus of Purdue University, will be the speaker. Prayed for Education William Holmes McGuffey was born in Washington County, Pa., the son of an Indian fighter-farm-er and his wife, in 1800. Two years later when the family had moved to a cabin in Cortsville, 0., a Presbyterian minister, the Rev. Thomas Hughes, overheard the young mother praying that her son might | have the opportunity to obtain an education that would prepare him for life and the ministry. Mr. : Hughes arranged to have the boy | sent to “Old Stone Academy’’ at ; Darlington, Pa. Later he attended | Washington college where ne grad- ; uated with honors. After he became professor of languages at Miami University, Oxford. 0., Mr. McGuffey was or- ! dained as a minister. He then began his work in selecting and editing material for his McGuffey Eclectic Readers. Many prominent persons, among them the late Senator Albert J. Beveridge, Newton D. Baker, the late John H. Clarke, former associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and biographer Ida M. Tarbell, have testified to the influence that the readers had upon their lives. Learning Endured Justice Clarke once said that the language he used in Supreme Court rulings often was colored by the readers he had studied 50 years before. Mr McGuffey was a stern moralist and many of the excerpts in his readers proclaimed the evils of drink and gambling. He attempted to inject into his readers a philosophy upon which the childish readers could base their ideals and ambitions. Many selections were from the Bible. The local organization has set a goal of 1000 members by 1936. Officers are S. B. Prater, president; J. H. Newlin, vice-president; Mrs. Carrie L. Swails, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Rose Sadler, recording secretary, and R. O. James, treasurer. A banquet at 6 at the Y. W. C. A. will precede the program at 8.
