Mrs. ne-witt Von Twllter awakened one
morning In ber gorgeous home In New York
city and found that for awhile at least It

around at the magnificent furnishings at

signed and packed a pretty boudoir tat and

Consequently the moved from one place to
another. No apartment or. house suited her
and in the conree of a short time the gold

The baby grand piano might have been
the relic or tome mining town dance ball
movlnr It to many times had left Innum-
erable tear upon the lovely surface and
Mrt. Von twIUer burst Into tears every
lime she looked at it.
At last convinced that the would have
to remain here longer than the had planned
at first she engaged the services or an
architect and planned to have t borne built.
With great fear and many misgivings she
nrdered more or the beautiful furnishings
lent out rrota the east and a new baby
rrand piano. Then she discovered that the
City Service company had Installed an
inonnous moping van wonderrully padded
and made to transfer furniture without leav-
ing a tear upon it.
"WnaTa the user" the said 'Tn never

I More broken-hearted stories have come to
me this week from girls who have either

or hers tru dining with an offlfir of tita
ama company when they saw the girl and

mance said the woman friend. "They ara

"Married ' the officer'! rara wat a

her. Ha baa a wire and two callaren at

Whan confronted' with these racts the man
admitted ha was married and said his lore
making had been only a "border romance."
This Is Just one of many surh cases. The
rtrls ara to blame a bit. but I hope they
win an come to the realisation that any
man who proposes mamare--and. does not
make any attempt to rive reliable Informa-
tion abont hlmselr or hl status In his home
town. Ma Intentions ran ossllv be question-
ed. 1'sually the first person a man tells Is
hla mother. A letter from her Is an sur
anee that be has no other entanglements.
If men can't tell their mother these things
they are open to suspicion and If they
haven't a mother living there Is always
someone In the ranilla upon whom fhe duty
I falls to receive yon.
I It I a shame that honor Is so scarce
among: men today and 1 am talkinir rhleNy
I about the men who become enfafred to (iris
i to that th"y may monopolise their com
'pany and have privilege otherwise denied
; litem. When honorable men look upon the
; members or their ei who do these thing
tho same way women look upon their un-
fortunate slaters toare will be less of such
practices.

throughout the empire.
