who was born some time ago on Third

eyes upon the light of New York. was
bruned to the ground In memorable

borhood.
That was when he was little boy.
but he heard the story of the big fire
from his father. who promptly built
upon the same site the three-story
brick dwelling. where his son has
lived to this day. So 1t is not quite
three-quarters of a century that Jack

kept out Of doors for good share Of
his life. That Is because he loves to

1t would be a difficult task indeed to
epitomize in one type the kind of woman
that women like. For, not only do the
needs of different individuals vary, but a
woman's choice Of friends changes with the
phases of her own development. There are,
in voman's nature, two distinct elements,
one or the other of which is apt, at some
time, to determine the sort Of friend she
chooses. These are the dependent or i'm
mature, and the protective or maternal.
Dependence belongs naturally to youth
though it may exist later in unequal friend
