She writes these 'etters not only for Jacks

than a man. He may have just as much to say
as she has, but he generally has great deal of
trouble in expressing it.
Thus it is that, notwithstanding the fact that
he is awfully in love with her, Jack does not
enjoy writing to her. Men a rule are poor
letter writers, and find it extremely difficult to
grind out letter every day, even if they write
to different people.
Jack would enjoy the correspondence far more
if he were not expected to do anything except
read her letters. He likes to know what she

short, extensive correspondence will do no
harm. Jack will be able to keep up his end
of it bravely; he will be able to. write a letter
every day, although after the first two or three,
certainly not sixteen pages.
For month or so, moreover, he will be able
to read Nell's five or six pages of interpretive
psychology without being bored. In fact, he will
be quite interested in it for while, as long as
it is a novelty. After a bit, however, he will

japanese Outing

The Japanese have long been known as the best
holiday-makers in the world, and visitors in old
days came away thinking of them as a people
given up to play. That mistake is now manifest
and It is just dawning on Western comprehension
that the japanese capacity for holidays is but
the other side of the capacity for work The
Japanese are what they are because of what is
in themselves, because Of their being" They
enjoy holidays because they have in themselves
the tastes for what is beautiful. Young and old,
rich and poor visit the country because of some
thing in themselves which responds to the beauty
of the cherry blossom or of the maple tints, or
of the flight of birds or of the reflections of the
mountains in the lakes. They do not depend on
having something to do-something to hit or 10
shooter on some sight to see-they, in a literal
sense, enjoy their own selves and what is in them.

things which defle man, proceed from within,
from his own being.

When to Avoid Meat

age, circumstances and personal habit healthy
man of average bulk, doing moderate amount
of work, requires about four and half ounces of
nitrogenou food-represented by butchers
meat-three ounces of fatty material and fifteen
ounces of sugary and starchy stnf. Women, as
rule, need nine-tenths of the quantity required
by men; boys of about sixteen, the same as
women and children of about ten years, half the
quantity consumed by an adult
The first meal should comprise one-third of the
meat and two-sevenths of the starchy matter;
the dinner should include the remaining two.

E-lHEN a girl is in love with a man, she
w writes him letters at the time, whether
they are separated or not. Even II he
Ie4zT5I lives only a few blocks away and she
sees him pretty nearly every evening,
she nevertheless finds some excuse for dropping
him line or two. 1t may be to tell him TO
come at half-past seven instead of eight o'clock
she forgot to tell him this the night before, and
SO has for writing to him.
Generally, however, her letters are much longer
than line or two. She has great deal OF
trouble in compressing what she has to say into
the compass Of single sheet Of note paper, and
she feels that it is real sacrifice to have to
stop at the bottom of the fourth side. Towards
the end here she begins to write very small, add
ing the signature, Always yours, Nell" in such
small type that the recipient -ould have to use
a microscope if he were not so well acquainted
with the handwriting.
It is only il she sees him every night or every
other night, however, that she is able to exer-
else sufficient sef-control to end her letter at

ing about sixteen pages.
Now. outsiders would consider sixteen pages
A week to be a fair amount. but the girl would
think she was not treating Jack right II she
wrote only sixteen pages week In fact, she
feels that she is doing right only when she writes
him sixteen pages every day. She is mortally
afraid that Jack may feel himself neglected if
she doesn't write often, and she is haunted by
a mental picture of jacks waiting eagerly for
certain mail and his ensuing disappointment
when he finds that he has to wait until the next
before he can hear from her.
Consequently, even if she comes home at night
tired and tagged out, she let's nothing interfere
with her nightly epistle. Her room may be hot
and her head may be aching but still she sits
up scribbling page after page to her Dearest

as the letters are being collected.
LETTERS LIKE A DIARY.
It may be asked what she finds to write about
so often and so voluminously, for the world at
large fails to see not only the reason for such
an extensive correspondence, but also what its
content can possibly be. Of course, it only hap
pens once in a while that she has anything really
important to say; what she sends her lover is
really her diary, with good many "yous" and
protestations Of undying affection thrown IN.
She tells him what time she got up, and what
time she had breakfast, adding, "And L found
your letter, DEAR waiting or me at my place
at the table," or "The bell rang and 1 ran to

Frotestations and excuses are of no avail. She
sends his ring back, together with the letters

time ne returns hers, and she locks them away
out OF her sight so that she may not have them

She does not destroy them, however, for they
are all that she has to remind her of the hap
piest time of her life. In after years, when she
has settled down to be contented old maid, she
can live over the old days again, in reading the
letters she wrote in her romantic girlhood to
man who, as she now knows loved her truly
with his whole heart.

her life have great interest for him, but he
simply cannot chronicle the events of his own
day for her.
One of the reasons for this is probably that
man does not remember the little things that
happen to him. or if he does he can never recall
them when he sits down to write to his fancee.
He is accustomed to write short, pithy, business
letters, where such matters what time he got

come through but one source dishonesty among
the employees while the loss from the filings and
other small particles of gold might come about
in several ways The small particles adhere to
the clothing of the employees, they fall upon the
floor and mingle with the dust, and they will even
float away on the air.
In speaking Of the methods which have been
adopted by the proprietors of the large con-
Germs, one of the prominent manufacturers said:
''The opportunities for losses in the jewelry
business are greater than in any other line that
1 know Of When the are filing the rings
or tapping them upon a sort of emery wheel the
fine particles, of course get upon their hands and
clothes. Under the old system all of the filings
accumulated on the machine fell upon the floor
or found resting place the clothes of the
workmen. We have remeded this to some extent
now and have each of the wheels fitted with a
hood, which collects all of the small particles,
which are drawn by air suction to the basement,
where they are all collected
''Under the old system, which was in use in this
establishment until about two years ago, we lost
considerable in waste. The loss might be due
entirely to accident, but oftentimes dishonesty
on the part of employees figured prominently in
the matter.
"For instance, I was told of man who worked
in an establishment of this kind who had very
bushy beard and hair. While he was filing the
rings the filings would accumulate on the bench
and the man would occasionally run his fingers
through his hair beard He kept this up sew
eral times day, and when he went to his home
in the evening, he, with the aid of fine comb
and dish of water, would be able to add quite
a considerable sum to the amount of his days

than pays the cost of the operation of this de-

Unless this matter was very carefully watched
a great deal of the precious metal would be car
ried off either by accident or design by the per
sons employed about the place. There is, how
ever, very little dishonesty among the women
employed, due partly to the fact that women
have higher sense of honor than men.
