Last week-as Boss Hague was haled into Federal District Court in nearb'y Newark by C. I.

Giving herself credit for no very high motives, the author admits that after she was seduced she was wildly promiscuous until she bore an illegitimate son, became a streetwalker after he died. Most interesting but cloudiest part of To beg I am ashamed tells of her brief marriage, which took her to Malaya, where her husband worked for a rubber company. Since he knew of her past, she thought the marriage was hopeless from the start, nevertheless made a desperate effort to become respectable, was frustrated by her former clients, her mother's malicious disclosures, her husband...
