ONE OF LIFE'S LITTLE

TRAGEDIES.”

WIFE WHO FELL IN LOVE ON A LINER

+

One of life's little tragedies is being played out here,

I wonder whether these tangled threads will ever he straightened out "... These were two sentences in a letter read at a Shoreditch inquest when a romantic story "was told of love on A liner.

Mrs. Lynda Maplemore Yooght, 20, wife of a baker living in Hoxton Street was married in New South Wales last July,

Her husband (the coroner said) came home to his parents in Hoxton at the end of last year, and she rejoined him in Loudon, on April 1st.. Twelve days later she was found lying on her bed with a bullet wound through her hend and a revolver by her side,

Dr. Rowlands said the husband told her that his wife had been depressed since her arrival in London, and had confessed to him that on the boat con ing over she had met someone of whom she became very fond.

LIFE'S TANGLED THREADS. James Graham. third steward on the Bellano, said he was thrown much into the company of Mrs. Vooght on the voyage from Australia, and fel! passion. ately in love with her. He received from her on the day of the tragedy a letter in which she said:--

"There is one of life's little trage dies being played here. Harold, my husband, has discovered 1 do not love him, and it is just breaking his heart. He is going to pieces completely.

He wanted to send me back to Aus tralia and let him live his life out on" his own

I seem to have a presentiment. I wish at times I had never been born, the sorrow that is around. First you. then me, and now Harold. I wonder i whether the tangled threads will ever be straightened out 7

Keep up your heart, dear, and, love me always. You are the only being on earth that worship. In my eyes you are the most perfect creature that God vermute. If you love me, Jimmy, as much as I love you, you will realise what my feelings are.. I feel I cannot live without hearing from you in some

way.

God bless and keep you, my own dear love.-LYNDA,

P.S.-If you ever cease to care, send The a white rosebud. That will be enough and I will never write again. At times, Jimmy, despair gets the better of me and I nearly go mad." A doctor's certificate showed that "the husband was too ill to attend, and the coroner dispensed with his evidence.

The jury returned a verdict of suicíde while of unsound mind, the coroner": saying that these young people had play- ed with fire, It behoved people who were brought into friendship while on board ship, amid cheerful surroundings, to use the utmost care as to how far that friendship carried them.

GEORGE..

A PERSONAL, SKETCH.

So much is known and written about the Prime Minister and sq ́ little about his wife that perhaps a short apprecia- tion by one who knows and loves her will not be out of place..

Mrs, Lloyd George is a very remarkable Woman, When she moved to 10, Down- ing street, she succeeded a Prime Minis ter's wife who was her direct opposite, and therefore it was all the more difficult for her to create her own position. Always unassuming and unsolfeonscious, she quietly set to work to do her duty in the best and highest sense of the word. Absolutely honest, and straight-forward, she soon became the centre of many good works, and during the last two years of the war nobody worked harder. or gave up more to help others than Mrs. Lloyd George

She is one of the kindest-hearted people, in the world, but very few know of her good deda, and certainly no one ever hears of them from herself. She has re mained true to her old friends while making many new ones. It is impossible

CONSUMPTION

to know Dame Margaret without loving BOARD OF CONSERVANCY „WORKS

and respecting hera There is a simple dignity about her which is very impr sive in these days when such qualities are almost xtinet,

Mrs. Lloyd George is a shrewd judge of charecter and seldom taken in by the flattery with which Ddwning-street in inevitably Aurrounded. Sha dislikes vulgarity and publicity of any descrip tion, and gors about her daily work in the same quiet way in which she lives, and only those who come under her gentle influence have may idea how much she docs for others and how little for herself.

A months ago, an old friend who was standing for Parliament persuaded Mrs. Lloyd George to come and help him, and with characteristic unselfishness she threw herself heart and soul into the contest. attending endless meetings, and gaing many votes by speaking in a direct and simple way which appealed to what is best in her audiences..

It is always difficult to write about people in her lifetime, especially when the person written of dislikes the lime- light, and these few words are quite inadequate, for, as a very-distinguished man said the other day. It is only history that will reveal the fact that Mrs. Lloyd George was one of the greatest assets of her husband's successful career."
