THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO DRINK,

The appellate division of the
Supreme Court has issued revis-
ed edition of its complete instruc-
tons "touchin' on and appertainln'
to" how lawfully to get drink
on Sunday. If a citizen is willing
to break the law it is only ueces-
sary to find seller of the same
frame of MUD to complete the
negotiations. And, singularly
enough, it is a frame of mind which
makes lawful the unlawful act. If
u man has a thirst alone he may
not lawfully assuage it; but il he
has a hunger, he may satisfy it and
also get a drink. 1t is not enough
that he shall feign an appetite; he
must be really aud truly hungry.
It is not enough that the meal be
automatically purveyed by the
"barkeep;" the initiative must be
taken by the "hotel's" guest. He
must want the sandwich, spelled
"meal" in the reformed spelling;
he must order it, but, happily, he
need not eat it. 1t is not laid down
in the wade mecum that even a sim
gle mouthful shall pass the lips of
the law abiding citizen. He must
"obtain" the mea! in "gOod faith
aud not for the purpose of so
cCloring the transaction that the
liquor can be obtained without the
meal" Experienced observers
have learned that those in the
drinkers frame of mind are more
reluctant to accept the meal with
out a drink than the drink without
the meal The drinks the thing
to the thirsty, and there is no Oh
lection to complying with the
meal shall not be separated. Drink
ing on an empty stomach certainly |
is bad, and if there are meals |
which are worse for the stomach |
than drinking without them, why,
it is only necessary to order, not
to eat, them. Practically, the re-
vision of the rule seems to alter
although it places marked
emphasis upon the necessity of
good faith on both sides. 1t is as
as the insurance eases,
IN which District Attorney Jerome
Iucidly explained that the disting-
1ished defendants motives were
honorable, but their intent
was larcenous. Now we have a
similar mental standard applied to
jhe ordering of drink. Precisely
he same acts are lawful or unlaw-
ful, according solely to the "good
faith" of the transaction. 1t is
necessary to respect the law, but it
ought not to be made so hard to
respect The lawmakers. -NeW York

WOman'S Trials,

The bitter trail In woman's life Is to
be childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The alb

together. the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection Is common disap-

become estranged thereby. Even il they
