THE STORY:
|
To
countrybred
Frederick
Worthington,
rich
in
everything
but
happiness,
had
come
a time when city life was
as dust
in
his
mouth,
and
to
Maddy Irvins,
also
coun
trybred,
had
come
a time
when
the longing for city-life and gaity blinded
her
to every
other blessing:
imagine
now these
twe beings married and you have the inevitable result,
a couple,
with each
of the partners
pulling their
own
way,
the husband
making
every
effort
to keep
his
young
wife away
from
demoralizing city-gaity and
the wife
being
like the Pandora
of the legend,
whose
every
wish
was granted
but
one,
she
was
never
to
open
a
certain
box in her husband’s
house,
less all
the
evils of the world
wer2
let
loose
on them.
Maddy had
also
her
box, which
she
was
not
to open,
and
which
she.
as
the
true daughter
of Eve,
of course
DID open.
[f
you have
never
been
in the
famous
“"Chinatown’” in
New York you will
here
have
an exceptional
good opportunity
to be acquainted
with the life and
gaity there.

London,
May
27th.j—1‘he
Gov?t.
of
i
India,
reviewing
the
findings
of
the
'
Special
Commussion
investigating
the
.
recent
disorders
in India, declares
that
.
General
Dyer,
the
British
“ommander
~in India, exceeded
the reasonable
require-
.
ments
of the
case,
and
showed
a
mis-
I
conception
of
his
duty,
resulting
in
'
lamentable
and unnecessary
loss of life.
'
This judgment,
it is announced,
was
then
.
communicated
to
the
Commander-in-
|
Chief,
with
the
request
that
he
take
|
appropriate
action.
‘The Roman
Uatholic
|
Archbishop
of Simla,
Monsignor Keneaiy,
i
has
sznta
letter
to
the
London
papers
'
defending
General
Dyer.
He
says
the
.
situation created
by the authorities
would
"
have meant
a general murder of European
'
men,
the
outraging
of
women,
the
'
loss
of
the
public
buildings
and
the
desecration
of
the
Christian
church-
.
es, and
the
Archbishop
maintains
that
|
General Dyer
saved
the Europeans
and
.
saved
India.
Soldiers,
he
added,
are
'
not good advocates
for
themselves,
but
.
are
a
God
send
in time
of
danger
and
|
it the present
tendency
of

to make
scapegoats
