THIS SECRET TRAGEDY WHICH THE WORLD HAS NEVER SUSPECTED IN THE LIFE OF URSULA BLOOM, THE FAMOUS NOVELIST,
"Unfortunately I was a pretty child," says Miss Bloom. The "pretty child" was brought up in an atmosphere of domestic unhappiness and bitter poverty.
"Her one hope for the future was that her daughter would do well and that one day my brilliant marriage would put every- thing on a proper footing again." writes Miss Bloom in her auto- biography "Without Make-Up," published by Michael Joseph.
"I was young and impressionable, of £2,463 in 1030 from journalism I promised myself I would always do alone. whatever she asked of me in the She found happiness, too, in a suc-

Marathon Methuselah
Boston.
Known as the American Methuselah of Marathon, eighty-vo-years- old Mr. Peter W. Foley, of Winchester, near here, has just ran à dis- lance of 20 miles 385 yards here to "show the young 'uns there's life in the old dogs yet.”
His time was four and a half hours.
Thousands turned out to watch "Old Man Foley" do his sprint, flamboyantly garbed in purple striped shorts.
Mr. Foley, a distinguished U.S. marathon runner, made his Brat run at the then ripe old age of fifty, and ran over a supro of others before retiring.
