WHY LOVE PASSED BY.

In the June number of Harpers
Bazaar a very intelligent spinster tells
readers why her life Is empty, notwith-
standing her professional success. Her
words should give pause to some of
the ambitious girls pining for careers.
Read these, for example:
Even intellectually became some
what of a mental outsider. While other
women chatted of opera, dress, and
current happenings, I sat in a corner
minus any conversational equipment.
For I had nothing in my head except
my business, and how could l manu-
facture interesting chat out of the
auditing of the months books or the
delinquencies of my stenographer? If
i had only realized how richly a few
magazine subscriptions and a few
theater tickets would have repaid me
I would have invested therein. But
was blind to everything except my
goal of business success.
Another thing-rather hard to own
but since 1 have begun confessing
might as we'll go on. Although I did
not look for love-Love has passed me
by. And 4 sometimes wonder, as
glance at the left hand resting ringless
on my desk, If the reason has been
that I allowed myself to be altogether
too much of good fellow among the
men met. Oh yes, it was necessary
to be jolly and good-tempered and able
to see joke, but think sometimes l
allowed myself to be-well, a little
( bold. And it is my belief that many a
bright, earnest, affectionate woman
eats her heart out longing for love
and home without bit realizing that
her own frank, chummy, 'don't-let's-
stand-on-ceremony' attitude has kept
men from ever thinking Of her except
as good sort oh yes, / know it's
the fashion to pretend that every wom-
an could marry If she wanted to and
THAT all lonely spinsters are indepen-
dent bachelor girls by choice, but
that isn't life as l have found it,"

For Good of Humanity.

This gives the keynote to Mrs.
Beachs unique undertaking. " an
swers the question, What is she do
ing it for?" There are people who
will not believe that she is not ulti-
mately going to advertise q break
fast food. Her motive, she asserts
is purely altruistic. For the good of
humanity she has made this long
journey afoot to prove that any one
may perform severe physical labor
and remain in the best of health on
a strictly raw food, meatless diet.

Beach, when all at once I realized
that my readers would be skeptical.
How does she know that it would
be practical? they would ask. What
does she know of real physical eXer-
tom and so, as I did not think it
would be quite the thing for me to
saw wood or chop down trees, I de-
cided to do the hardest work I could

The Big warships at New Orleans.

Four great battle ships of the u. S.
Navy anchored in the New Orleans
harbor on Nov. q, to remain in that
port one week, and the 1000 blue jack
cts and 1900 marines from the ships
have been giving the people of that city
great delight by parading the streets
and executing many pretty drill ma
neuvers. This is known as the second
division of the Atlantic feet. The di-
vision consists of the first-class battle
ships South Carolina, Michigan, Kansas
and Minnesota, and is the strongest
naval force ever assembled in the Miss
issipi river. Any of the four vessels
could have destroyed the entire Spanish
fleet at the battle of Santiago without
coming within range of the Spanish
guns.
The South Carolina and the Michigan
are the first Dreadnaughts built by the
United States government. They are
big gun-ships, their batteries consist
ing of eight 12-inch guns mounted in
four center-line turrets, and sixteen s.
inch guns for torpedo defense. The
Kansas and Minnesota are sister ships
of the type prior to the Dreadnaught
class. Their batteries consist of four
12-inch, eight 8-inch, fourteen finch
and many smaller guns. The compile
ments of these ships average about $50
men and 80 officers each, total of 3400
men and 120 officers
