Stranger Than Fiction By Evelyn H. Conn

The family lived in a Russian hot-bed of revolt and during the Revolution they attempted to cross the

border with their nine-year-old son andt h e i r baby daughter. became separated in the flight and the baby was picked up and eared for by a Polish family named Janowik. No one knew

MISS CONN

what had become of the parents or the boy, and so the Janowiks named the child Sunya and raised her as one of their many children. As soon as she was old enough to understand, however, the Janowiks told Sunya of her family’s courageous break for freedom, and how no one knew what had become of them. And so Sunya grew to young womanhood and Mrs. Janowik decided that it was time the girl married. AU her daughters were married, and Sunya, who was quite attractive and an excellent cook, would make a good wife. Next door to the Janowiks lived a family whose son was entertaining a friend from America. The neighbors listened wide-eyed to tales of that wondrous country —that land of gold and opportunity. Mrs. Janowik gave the visitor a picture of . Sunya to take back with him to■ America, because in the course of j his conversations he had remarked that he knew several young men who had settled in America and who were anxious to marry girls from their own countries. Long after the visitor returned to America, .Sunya would dream of going there, of living there, of being I a real American. Many months later, a letter came for Sunya Janowik from America. With her heart beating furiously and with trembling fingers she opened the letter. It was from a young man, a Russian named Ivan Ballin, saying that he had seen Sunya’s picture and if she tvould marry him he I would send her money to come to America. Come to America! He would send her money to come to America! Even before she showed the Janowiks the letter she knew she would go. Sunya wrote to Ivan telling him her joy at his proposal, how hard

Henpecked Husbands Flock to Join Rolls of ‘Doghouse, Inc.’

By DICK SHANER Staff Correspondent International News Service —All you have to be is a henpecked husband and you’re eligible for membership. Pittsburgh’s embattled husbands howling long' and loud and with an occasional yelp “we’re in the doghouse now,” joyfully opened a local chapter of Doghouse, Inc., a national kennel club for any husbands who are relegated to that canine abode by barking wives. A battle-scarred veteran inmate of the doghouse, (at least he oughta be he’s been marriel 17 years), William Galvin, salesman, organized the local branch of pups. Already some 70 husbahds, anxious to have some quiet spot where they can whine to their heart’s content and pour out their tales of marital woe to fellow victims, have applied for membership. One impatient purp, tired of pacifying household tirades, doggedly insists on an opening night berth with a permanent box in the local kennel when the club gets underway in earnest. Doghouse, Inc., was founded in Baltimore last August as a result of a riverboat mishap which delayed the home-coming of membaers of the Baltimore Trade Association who had

Sleeping Suggestion That Prevents Insomnia

By MAURICE MERRYFIELD International Illustrated News Writer NEW YORK —After recently reading a scientific article on how those afflicted with insomnia can best overcome their sleeplessness, the thought occurred that it might be well for an experienced layman to sound forth on the subject. Years of experiment have resulted in the conviction that there is no need for any individual to toss in fretful uneasiness on his or her downy pillow. There are numerous effective ways of counteracting any teendency to spend the wee small hours'counting sheep. Anyway it seems awfully silly to count sheep when one can as well cast the mental eye on a succession of shapely damsels diving into a pool if arithmetical exercises are indispensable. Some Sleeping Suggestions. Enough of’ such digression, however. Let us return to the origins subject of this discourse —four sound suggestions for sleeping. They are as follows: 1. Nearly every person has acquaintance with someone who is outstanding as a sleep inducer. These individuals, usually known as bores, have uncanny powers of lulling into a stupor those around them. Let them but have the flodr and then

she would work for him, how she would try to make him a good wife. And so after weeks of preparation and much excitement in the ,community, the “photograph bride set sail for America and the man she was going to marry. I Ivan met her when she landed. He ' recognized her immediately from the picture he held eagerly in his big, work-worn hand. Ivan was very tall, blond, with a shy, good-na-tured wistulness about him that immediately drew her to him. Ivan arranged for his bride-to-be to stay at a friend’s home, a family whose acquaintance was the first he had made in the pew country. Soon afterwards they were married and Ivan took her to his small, threeroom flat above his carpenter shop. Sunya was fascinated by America. She was a little frightened at the swift pace with which everything moved, but it was so beyond her day-dream expectations that she didn’t know how her small body could hold such happiness. They were very happy together, the dark, bright Sunya and the blond, quiet Ivan. Often they would wonder at their happiness — they didn’t realize life could hold so much for them. , They very seldom talked of their past life. Somehow they had put all that behind them. There was so much more to look ahead to —so much to plan for. , One evening Ivan asked her about her childhood. Sunya of course, had little to tell of her own parents, of how they were separated, since she had come to accept the Janowiks as her own. But she had much to tell him about the visitor who had talked of America. She had much to say about her dreams of this glorious land and how she had prayed every night that she might some day live there. Ivan’s story was quite similar to ' Sunya’s. His mother, father and ! sister, like hundreds of other fami ilies, had become etranged during 1 their hurried flight and he had in the course of several years, worked his way to England where he had lived for some time. Then he had decided to seek his fortune in Amreica and he had come here when he was twenty, had learned a trade, and now at twenty-six was doing a nice little business. “And since the Revolution you have never seen your parents or sister? asked Sunya. “No,” replied Ivan, “and I have no way of tracing them. Os course, my name is not really Ballin. I changed it when I came here. My real name is Balakev.

been having a dog-gone good time on the boat. One of the cur-rent members, fearful of a blistering rebuke from the missus, suggested formation of a Doghouse club for mistreated husbands. Within three months there were 1,200 members. Further organization activities moved rapidly. A big meeting was held in a hotel ballroom and one Alphonse Wilfred Johnson was elected “great dane.” Next came the first annual convention. The doorway to the was designed to represent a kennel entrance and members were c forced to crawl on all fours to get inside. Dog-biscuits were passed around as tokens of membership. Recently a Baltimore golf club house was taken over and transported into quarters that would delight the heart of any old pooch. Regular monthly Juowls are held and women are strictly forbidden to set foot on the grounds. The club insignia is a button depicting a collared husband chained to a kennel. Doghouse, Inc., has never solicited members. Like the national liars club at Burlington, Wis., it has more applications than it can handle. Included on the roster is none other than Pennsylvania’s fun-loving governor, George H. Earle.

allow them to discourse at length upon their favorite topic and Morpheus will approach post haste. 2. Another effective method of escaping insomnia is to begin a lengthy detective story along about midnight. When you finally have the murder solved along about three in the morning and stumble into bed, chances are ten to one you -won’t have to start counting livestock. But the trouble with this method is that the yen for sleep doesn’t end when the alarm clock rings at 8 a. m. There’s Always Blondes! 3. Possibly the surest method of not hearing the milkman is to team up with some vivacious young lady who is interested in seeing all the new night spots, and just doesn’t care about the curfew because she can sleep in next morning. 4. Others find that recourse to the “flowing bowl” is almost sure protection against staying awake. The trouble with this plan, however, is that it often brings on sleep at most awkward moments and in most embarrassing places. Os course, there are other methods —such as climbing into the ring with Joe Louis or entering a six-day bicycle race—but if one tries out the four methods suggested above there is little likelihood that that individual will wake up for a week!

By MARTHA LEFARGE International Illustrated News Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 18—Although each year at this time theire is sounded a prediction that the coming of spring will mark an unprecedented vogue for suits, it appears probable that such will be the case this season. One of the advantages of the tailored suit is that it can be worn to smart and practical advantage beneath one’s coat. And in many sections of United States, considering the uncertainty of the climate during the spring months, this is a factor of importance Advance reports indicate that many of the smart jackets will be trim and tight-fitting, probably about hip-length, while skirtlines will have a comparatively short and slim silhouette.
