‘If Set My Blood Boiling’ ~~

‘Il Choose America’ NOTE: Mrs. James N. Gape 1 ga qu a id : is the wife of the Cuyahoga $8 ® i fe ug Falls, O0., valve salesman who inherited $270,000 from an English cousin—but only on condition the Gapes. move to England .and live on the old estate that had been in the family for 500 years. The Gapes’ tentative rejection of their English inheritance in favor of a comfortable suburban home and an American upbringing for their chil. dren touched off a wave of criticism from England-—criticism which inspired Mrs. Gape to tell “Why I Choose America.”
