"I Cannot

About Him"

(By Marjorie Hudson)

SINCE that day when a London specialist told me I had only three months to live I have had a week in Paris and now have come to the Riviera to find what happiness is still-left for me before I die.

III As Hammer

Tells Of Failure

London, Oct. 4.

And I have found happiness. Not only that, but beauty and THREE hammer blows sounded from the rostrum of

friendship.

There are hundreds of sympathising letters from unknown friends before me. They are from Sunday Chronicle readers.

Since I came to France I have scon Paris, I have come to a luxury hotel where I am work- -ing in my own room, surrounded with flowers, but best of all I have met Harry, a sales man-

ager.

UNSPOKEN SYMPATHY

He is not young and is much more serious and quiet than the modern young men I knew in London.

There is a kind of unspoken sympathy between us, sweet and preciou

I feel he understands just why I am greedy for all the galety and sunshine and happiness I can achieve.

My friends in Paris overworked themselves to give me a gay play- time. We went to fiftie cates in Montmartre and Montparnasse. We went to expensive restaurants, night; clubs, cabarets.

Some of the letters sent me by Sunday Chronicle readers are beautiful that I have cried. I am awed that there is so much kindness

in the world, prompting strangers to offer me help and comfort.

Since I have been here I have written some poems, to try, and ex- press some of my emotion.

Here are two:
