She was a delightful little girl with dark hair and brown eyes, born to sooth the pain of loneliness often found in a young man's heart. She has one chief ambition-to be loved by all-and it seems disappointment will be impossible. Her power has been experienced in various places such as Elk City, Holdenville and Paris, and her pathway is strewn with broken hearts and sweetiremembrances.

' In disprovol of the general maxim that great people are born in obscure places, Adda- leane Buford made her first appearance in the renowned city of Paris, July 9, 1892. At the age of six she performed her first important and far-reaching act of her so far uneventful existence by starting to school. For the space of eight years this daughter of our city wenizled her way with noble and laborous efforts through the grammar school, and ob- tained during those years of obscurity the talent of painting and drawing which is making her famous. After she began the second heat of her educational pursuit, by entering the Paris High School, she has developed a talent for cartooning. Her one ambition is to marry a title from the old World. Her romantic disposition declares in tones that produce a strain on the imagination that this lucky personage should be none other than an Earl. For four years she has struggled with these passions along With her studies and still has vis- ions of the man of her dreams and his castle. Liifffiiiyffif'-Z f1' -' ' '

These two cities however, were the exalted possessors of this lovely and enlightened maiden for only two years. Following the sun on its Western course she changed her place of residence to the prairies of Western Iowaland brought her parents with her. Two years this flower of Mediapolis frisked and ran lwild over the spreading prairies of Iowa, when she became aware of the slowness of life in that locality and took up her abode in the City of Carson. At the end of her second year, Lola, sighing for more so- cial worlds to conquor came to Missouri in 1904. Three years ofi' educational absorbing at Holliday convinced 'her that the social advantages of that place were inadequate and she wandered into Paris where she is still striving for fame. '1,Um4
