It's a funny thing. It makes the world go round. The other day it made 124 cou- ples in Manhattan take out mar- riage licenses. The other day it made Brenda Frazier give up being a glamour girl and become Mrs. “Shipwreck’! | Kelly. A good thing, too, for the | glamour-girl business was fast go- ing to pot.

True, each year a new: girl was named, but the photographers had eyes only for Brenda, and| | everywhere you looked, even in the | | papers, it was Brenda Frazier.

He slapped me. Then he knocked | me. Down. Then he kicked | That's when I got mad-—when he| | kicked me.” | | The man looked embarrassed. | He fidgeted with his bandage, and drew little imaginary figur on the courtroom floor with the D }Lue of his highly polished shoe. ) “How come you sassed her, then| slapped her, then knocked her | down, then kicked her?” the cops | wanted to know. | He looked at them solemnly. i “I love her,” he said simply. Love. It's a funny thing. The other inorning in Manhat- [tan it made a man get on a street- | |car and sit down by a woman.! whom he obviously knew. She turned her shoulder to him and stared obdurately out the window yThe man continued to plead in i | me. |V WESTBOUND The Alaska Steamship steamer Denali arrived in port this morning at 5 o'clock with 32 passengers aboard for Juneau.
