The result is that, looking for goodness, kindness, and charity, they find them in all directions of life. And so could your own lives be happier by doing the same. Bessie Love is another American star wli.i is scheduled to make a trip to England, where .scenes will be filmed for Dickens's novel, “The Old Curiosity Shop.” ‘ “I think one woman should have been includod in the delegation of each nation to the Assembly of the League of Nations,” said Lord Robert Cecil at Geneva. •Air Sydney L.
