The Pace That Kills

The Pace That Kills
A WOMAN who has delighted thous-
"a ands of audiences-an actress
\ is dying in an eastern city be-
cause Of
The pace that kills.
The woman wants to die. There is
nothing to live for. Possibly she would
commit suicide only she is intelligent
enough to know that to hasten her
going would not straighten out the
tanRle of her ufe-only complicate It,
The pace that kills.
There 10 no denying 1t has its allure
ments Tread the primrose path OF
dailiance. Chase the winged butterfly.
Listen to the patter of the fountains.
Watch the dryads dance. Eat, drink
and be merry. Ho, for the short life
and the happy!
The pace that kills
There's pleasure in the pace. Oh.
yes! Lift high the cup Of life and
drain 1t to the dregs. On with the JOY
rides! What is life but thing to con-
lure with? Give US that which bright
ems the eye and brings the flush to
the cheek and lfvens the feet and stirs
the blood of passion.
Go the pace
Ave, but there's the rub. 1t kills!
By and by the eyes that shone with
pleasure will be -bleary; by and by the
glow of cheek will turn to pallor; the
hand that. without tremor save OF
joy raised the cup will tremble in its
palsy, and the feet that gayly tripped
the measure of the dance will shuttle
on the floor.
It kills!
Some day the rivers Of fancy will
lose their. runnels in the desert sands
of life; some day the mirage that lures
will rise and fade away Disillusion-
ment will come. And sope day ambition
and hope and heart and peace Will 60
Some day the money will go and there
will be the added pinch of poverty.
: The pace does not kill its victim In a
day. Would 1t might!
Slowly, insidiously, gross habits will
build a prison house around the soul
and life will be narrowed down. The
sense will fail to please. In safety

How Many Courtshipst

Every man ought to have two court
ships IN his existence, the first. of
course. when he Is winning his wife.
Then sh ould come the years of struggle
In making money to support her and
tn cir children. Then he ought to go back
to counting his wife again and showing
his children how good father can be.
| That is the advice of James A. Pat
ten, the big Chicago grain speculator.
given In an interview as one of the
reasons why he quit the board OF trade.
We beg to amend.
Instead Of having two courtships, a
man should have but one and that one
continuous.
Why should a man bury his affection
in the grave Of big business and resur-
full in his chase after dollars?
Wives do that sometimes.
|. Suppose that In the interim while he
Is immersed in business the wife whom
he has neglected should die?
Detected, lonely, yearning for affec-
ton, many heartsick wife has gone
fso an early grave, and there is no more
counting of her save at the coffin side,
where the ears are dumb to the mes
sage Of love and the lips can no longer
smile response.
Suppose the wife, neglected and prac-
tically forsaken. left without husband
|ly attention. should turn In her despair
FLOR consolation to another. That may
mean disgrace or a divorce court scan
dial, and there are no more courtships
coming.
For further particulars read the
newspapers.
Or suppose the children should die.
Mr.. Patten, awaiting the time when

teach them the first principles Of de-
cency and respect.
Who is to blame?
Parents and teachers. It is easy to
cultivate in the heart of child an
understanding of the self sacrifice of
patriotic endeavor and a deep seated
love of American institutions.
No child thus instructed would do
what these malapert youngsters did on
Memorial Day.

live amicably with other people.

we get to heaven we must live with
people.

you can show them how good a father
you can be-"
No. The man is wrong, even though
he Is frank in saying what SO many
business men are doing nowadays to
heir ofttime sorrow and regret
Better advice would be: Never cease
counting the girl you have married,
even IL you must let go some of the
paltry dollars.
Which shall it be;
More money and less love
Or more love and less money!
Why, sir, all the gold OF the Yukon
and all the diamonds of the Transvaal
can never repay you for the lost OPP
| portunity to love and be loved.
He Killed Her
| A young woman of Peoria, ILL.,, COM
| mitted suicide in her room at a hotel by
shooting herself.
| She had been taken to the hotel by
| her lover. to whom she had surrendered
her honor and all that woman holds
| dear, on a promise Of marriage.
He took her to the room to tell her
that he was to be married to another
young woman and that their intimacy
| must cease. Then he left her.
The shock killed her.
| The pistol with which she took hcr
Life was a mere handy instrument. That
which killed her was the brutal revela-
lions of the men she had loved.
He killed her.
Pirate Of innocency and virtue that
he was. he first robbed her, body and
soul, and then, piratelilse, set her adrift
"a battered wreck Of womanhood.
He killed her.
And yet
| In the eyes Of the law this social
brigand had committed no crime! The
k-lA a. A~1A r~tk
| failed.
He killed her.
If he had broken into the poor girls
room and robbed her Of her clothes he
could have been sent to the penitentiary
because clothes are property and
| the law Is very strict concerning the
theft Of goods and chattels. you know.
Or
| Had he taken the pistol into his own
hand and held 1t to the girls temples
! he would have been. according to the
law, made and provided, murderer.
but he was too careful and deliberate
and cold-biooded for that. He drove her
| to use the pistol herself
| He killed her.
Mind you there was no question as to
the facts, and there was small denial
upon his part He had deceived the girl
under solemn promise of marriage and
then flung her away from him. He
found her an innocent and trustful wo-
| man and deliberately set about to make
her thing" He ruined her and be-
trayed her and killed her. but in the
eyes of the law he had committed no
| offense.
| Justice, We eulogize you. and we
put your fingers over the portals of our
| courthouses, blindfolded and holding
your scales, but you are not merely
blind; you are deaf and dumb and senile
| and crippled.

pleasant exposure may follow. This
Is best managed by tying the hair
firmly before attempting to arrange It
Any woman who has attempted this
tying with ordinary string Will wei
come some Of the novelties now to be
bought for this purpose. One con.
venient arrangement is a piece OF
wrapped wire about four inches long.
One, end is pointed and the other
forms \ loop, through which the point
is pushed when the hair has been
wrapped several times.
Even more easily managed Is a loop
OF silk braid or elastic about two
inches long. There is a small button
at n end over which the elastic is
slipped after being wound twice
around the hair.
Fer light hair these fasteners can
be bought in browns and tans so that
there is less danger Of them showing.
An ideal advantage OF such arrange
ments is that they can be bought by
the box or card. so there is no mad
hunt for a shoestring or ribbon that
has been mislaid.

and combined with lace and chiffon
with lovely results. The quaint old.
time pelerine. the graceful long stole,
the draped shoulder cape and a muff
to match are all "in the running for
this season.
If no fur is available, marabout or
swansdown may be used. II Is won
derfully fluffy and becoming, besides
being inexpensive. The colors used In
these dainty affairs are varied and
beautiful, the preference being given
TO the lovely old tapestry colors.
The fabric may match the fur or
marabout If desired, but usually some
pleasing contrast is more effective.
Gold and silver are used to a great
extent in these popular accessories.
They are especially liked for Innings,
either plain or under chiffon or fine
lace. Some of the most luxurious OF
the furs for evening, such as ermine
and sable. have these gold and silver
Innings.

NNE OF the most charming fashions
OF the season Is the wearing OF a
mum and stole set In the evening
and at afternoon receptions and
musicales. The sets made entirely Of
FUR are beautiful. but the pelts that
ire appropriate for these occasions are
so costly that they are miles beyond
he average income.
Quite az smart as the fur sets, how
ever, are those made OF lace and
chiffon, with perhaps n bit OF fur and
clusters OF flowers. These frllly af-
fairs are one OF the picturesque and
novel features Of the season. One Of
the chief advantages is that they
may be made at home, and many
little bits Of trimmings or fabrics
taken from the piece bag or from an
old garment may be used in their
makeup.
Especially useful arc the old-fash.
