LOUISE GLAUM

Gowns and riches to whet the dreams of any woman who ever lived.

The Street of the Beggars in the Kingdom of Misery the sweet, dream-laden odours of the East. The fumes and scents of the drugs of forgetfulness.

A love that whipped the strange devil in a beautiful woman and sent her back to look her husband and the world in the eye unafraid. Fascinating Paris Enchanting Cairo. A san-blistered, palm-clust- ered oasis in the sand-stung Egyptian Desert of Sahara.

A fabulously wealthy Russian Baron, with thecraft of the fox, weaving bis dream of luxury and extravagance into the mind of a flattery-loving

woman.

A deserted husband and wonderful child driven into the Street of the Beggars almost beside the walls of the opulent House of the Dawn, where the wife and mother fights the battle with her own conscience and again flees into the silent desert to remake the man whose mind and life she wrecked.

These are the stories that build the heart and mind-throbs of "SAHARA." Love and rejection. Temptation and flight. Conscience and maternal instinct. Retribution and reparation.
