Louis Baer, the Chief Bachelor when
seen by writer for the Sunday World
Magazine yesterday, said: 1--WE been
member now for two years, and after
that length of time it is comparatively
easy to maintain your vows. This is
a serious business with us and none of
us ever expect to wed.
I'VE keep away from women as
much as possible, realizing that goo
goo eyes are not good things for a con-
firmed bachelor to look upon. There

looked serious for a while. | got the

the blues are caused by ones physi
cal state. If a man has overworked,
or has been under any unusual strain
or excitement or has worried great
deal, or has been for while in state
of joy and elation-all of which require
an expenditures of energy-he is very
likely to have the blues and to be in

takes one glass of whisky the slight
stimulus tina the feels will be follow
ed, as night follows day, by an exactly
equivalent sinking of the spirits. If
he has been thoroughly and gayly
drunk his recovery will be attended by
a corresponding melancholia and mis-
cry. When a man has the blues he
ought to consider that he is merely an
exponent of one of natures laws and
that he has no right to harass others
with complaints. Some men are not
pleased unless they communicate their
unpleasant moods to. all about them.
They become sulky and cross with
their wives and children. and they
throw a gloom over their household.
Such conduct is very selfish. A man
in the blues ought to take some pills
and a good long walk all alone or with
some companion of steadfast cheerful
ness. Lucky it is for him if he has a
wife who will not be downcast and
who can restore hime to cheerfulness
without spelling him.
