Yet at seventeen, she was desperately unhappy. A feverish desire to escape the commonplace routine of home possessed her. To Marion’s eager, restless mind, life in the town where she grew up seemed pitifully slow and insufferably dull. She longed to spread her untried wings and fly, she cared not where, just so it were some place where she might be free from the stupid, silly, unreason- able restrictions of home. She wanted to feel the throbbing surge of life; to hear the music of gay and careless laughter. She dreamed of a life of new, strange pleasures; of romantic adventure: of an existence crowded with excitement and thrills. And the dream came true—but 1t also brought an awakening of bitter dis- illusionment and sorrow that were to live in her memory for many years. But she had no inkling of all this when chance unexpectedly transported her to Paris—the city of a thousand delights. Without experience, knowing noth- ing of the world and its countless pit- falls and temptations; living only in the hectic, rose-colored world of her vivid imagination—she suddenly found her- self an unwilling but almost helpless prey of forces grimly determined to bring about her downfall. What Marion went through in the gay French Capital is a powerful, heart-gripping drama of human motives and swift action. And it isallthe more convincing and thought- compelling because every word of it is true. Countless girls who are chafing under the safeguards and restraints of their simple home surroundings will find, in this vivid story of Marion’s unhappy experience, a lesson that they cannot Jearn too soon. Young people everywhere who cherish the belief that they are being cheated of life’s pleasures —and who long to taste the wine of adventure, romance and excitement in far-away places, will read here a warning they cannot help but heed.

Intoxicated by her beauty, her personality, her wit, it never occurred to him to question who or what she had been before he met her. But when the clouds of suspicion began to darken the sky of his life—well, read what happened. Herc again we have the old question: “Should a woman tell her husband every- thing?™ In this heart-gripping truelife story, the question is answered in a way you won't soon forget. “The Evil-Doer”—In every city, village and hamlet there are one or more representatives of a certain profession that is held in the highest respect and csteem by every family. Yet the members of this profession have opportunities and temptations to do cvil under the guise of good that, if exercised, would mean the eternal damnation and ruin of “sentimental” wives and innocent, trusting daughters, everywhere. This tragic story, written right from life, is a case in point, and it will give you something to think about. — Powerful Sermons In True Story Form It is not the purpose of True Story Mag- azine to preach.
