A Discussion Which Condemns
 Lovers of Love, for It's Gifts
The Type of Girl That Demands EveryhngThe Other Type That Demands Nothing-Women Who Are Mercenary Above All Else and What the Average Man Thinks
 of Them-Selfish Requirements
By DOLLY DAIRY aIPLE

Things are usually evened up, sooner or later. Occasionally you meet woman like Anne but I contend that she's not always feminine. I've seen men, grab bers of gifts, just the same type as this girl you speak of"
 What do you mean?" asked Betty, who had started the discussion.
 Don't you remember John Perkins, He's a good example of q man of that kind. Don't you remember when we all lived in the same boarding house to- sether? Remember the. widow Mrs Fan t1que, who was so rich, and what a fool she made of herself about John?'
 "Of course do, but what about him?' asked Betty.
 He never expressed q wish," Nancy went on, that was not gratified Mrs. Fantiqqe avished gifts upon him. I'll never forget the day he said he wanted fur lined overcoat. and when she re- fused to go downtown and get it he flirt- ed off and married another widow down in south Alavanam. l remember how cut up Mrs. Fantique was about the affair." and how she jokingly said she'd have given him an automobile if she'd dreamed that he was going to take such d revenge upon her. but we all knew beneath the jest there was much carnestness."
 'l can match up every girl" Nancy continued, you can hold up as gift grabber. with some incident of a man who IS just as mercenary. l knew woman once who was starving, and yet she'd pawn her jewels, one by one, to give them to no account man who had in- fatuated her. How he did it nobody could ever understand. for he never spoke a kind word to her except when he was sober, and he was drunk most of the time. He was a perfect beast, nothing else could describe him, and yet this poor creature adored him, and would have given him her last cent. even though she knew it was to buy whisky with"
 That's the pathetic part of love-" Betty said. "One wants to give the be- loved one everything, but how in the world woman could see the man she loves intoxicated and a perfect beast and still continue to love him and want to give him money, is beyond mel The pa- tience of woman who is in love with man of that type never wavers ap- pafently, her faith never seems to fal- ter. She'll give-give-give her money, her faith. her love, her trust and when it's all thrown back into her face finally by the rascal who accepts such things, she doesn't even withhold her forgive uess!"
 Tt makes you almost believe" Nancy suggested, that such women are abnor- mally constituted when after they've given all and don't even get appreciation out of such an affair, they still keep on caring
 And you can't say" Nancy went on, that girl who holds on to man for the possible gifts she may receive from him Is any worse than man who allows a woman to fall in love with him and ac- oept gifts from her"
 Tt isn't question of comparison" said Betty decidedly. flor both to my mind are pretty contemptible specimens of the race called Humanr'

The "Tim Finneeanp Song

The Tim Finnegan song, referred to in recent number of the Corner was product of the COS The classic charac- ter of the production may be inferred from the first stanza, here reproduced from memory. Perhaps some one can furnish the story: " Tim Finnegan lived on Walker street, An Irish gentleman mighty odd With an Irish brogue so rich and sweet And to rise in life he carried a hod. But you see he'd a sort of tipplng way, With love of the liquor poor Tim was born,
 And just to help him on his way, Took a drop of the crather every morn
 (Chorus.) Whack! hurrah, and dance to your part
 ner, [. Welt the flure, your trotters shake! Isn't it the truth I told you, Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake

 Tt isn't so in this case" Betty defend- ed. Anne likes the excitement of popu- larity. That's the pity of the affair, to my mind. When a girl cares for the empty compliments of the crowd, the rushing here to a dinner, the fleeting there to a reception. with any and all sorts of people, who don't care a rap whether she dies tonight or lives until day after tomorrow, it seems an awful pity to me that she couldn't be given her little social ambitions without a good man, and a fine one, being called upon to pay the price she demands for what she thinks in her heart. Why couldn't the kind of man that she Is woman care for her? Then nobody would be hurt
 T don't wonder that men call women mercenary," agreed Nancy. That type of girl is enough to prove that women only love men for what they can get out Of them I hate my sex when l see some cormorant of a woman demanding that . poor man measure his love by the equivalent of money in gifts
