second floor, where the express train
dispatchers work, has 3G2-one man

Hotchkiss, connected with the cler- ica1 force of the Harvey Hubbell, Inc; also very popular among the younger West End set The bride looked very harming in a travelling suit of navy blue with hat and ostrich plumes to match. She wore a corsage bouquet of tIilies of the Valley" She was ac- companied by her sister, Miss Marion. who was also attired in blue and wore a corsage bouquet of Sweet Heart Roses" Owing to the illness of the groom's mother, who was unable to attend the ceremony, they will not take a prolonged wedding trip, but will visit in New York and Brooklyn. On their return they will be "at home" to their friends at 485 Howard avenue. The wedding presents were very select and handsome, consisting mostly of cut gIaS and silver.

NAvLA OFFICERS PUNISHMENT.

In civil life the dishonest empIoye may be, and often is, merely dismiss ed from his employment without pub licity or prosecution. The employer finds it cheaper to say nothing and stand his losses.
 Not so in the military establishment. A brief note in the weeks grist Of news from various army headquarters last Saturday mentions in quite a cas- ua1 way the case of former Chief Quartermaster James P. Lee, arres ted several months ago in connection with thefts of government property in the Norfolk yard. He is sentenced to a years confinement at hard labor, to be reduced to the rating of ordinary seaman, to lose all pay which may be due him except prison expenses, and at the end of his term of imprison- ment to be dishonorab1y discharged.
 Sentiment doesn't cut a figure in military verdicts, nor does the army or navy condOne dishonesty because 1t is a bother to punish it. Which may, perhaps, account in part for the high standard of rectitude in the mill itary service.-Syracuse Post Stan dard.

Were you with me, or I with you, There's nougght, nlethinks, l might not do;
 Could venture here, and venture there,
 And never fear, nor never care" In the flush of early youth what young man has not said unto himself: What is there to love that men should rave so over it, that it makes l their lives blossom or wither, shapes the current of their future for veal or for woe? IR have none of it! I'll show the world that many a man is better off without it!''
 He looks with supreme indifference,
 almost contempt, at his comrades who are at the beck and call of a pretty sweetheart. He evades alike the kind
 ly suggestion of relatives and friends that they would be pleased to intro duce him to nice young girls.
 He combats the notion that he is lonely without a fair maiden to es- cort hither and thither. Even his mothers plea, that it makes a, young mans heart kinder if he is in love with a sweet young lady falls on deaf ears. He attempts to point out to his family that the bachelor has an enviable life of it. There is no one to henpeck him, no one who can com pei him to drudge and slave his life out, suffering from enormous rent and the high cost of living, to give her a life of ease. If his inspiration led him to work all night over his ledger there was no one to meet him at the door, either with heart-rending sobs or bitter, angry, railings-facing a bel lgerent wife who refused to believe him when he was telling the truth. He had no mother-in-Iaw troubles; no wife's family to help support. He had no millstone around his neck to ham per him in his climb up the ladder of prosperity. When the storms of win ter came, he would not have to hur- ry to his boarding house, bolt his din ner, get into his best clothes and face a blizzard, making his way to his adored one for the sake of basking a couple of hours in her presence, re- turning home through storm fierce that it was ten chances to one as to whether he took pneumonia or came out of the experience with a heavy cold.

MAN CANNOT ESCAPE THE DES-
 TINY MARKED OUT FOR HIM

At an unforeseen time and unexpect- ed place a young woman crosses his path. She is neither beautiful, gay, nor fascinating, just a plain, honest hearted everyday girl. But To! at the first glance of her eye or sound of her voice his heart thrills with new sense of reverence for woman kind. She appeals to him as no woman has ever done before. He tries to put her out of his thoughts, but her face rises up between him and his ledger, in his working hours or moments of leisure.
 There is a gratifying peace for him in her presence. He experiences the doubt that besets the breast of every lover. The knowledge is forced up him that he wants her, he needs her, he loves her, that life would neV- CT be the same to him without her.
 His one worry is whether or no he can win her. He courts the father and mother for the daughters sake. Her tantalizing little brother can draw on him as much as he likes for gifts. He realizes at last why men prize LOVE as the dearest gift which God can give That completes life. It gives zest to mans ambition, gives him the greatest object in life to strive and work for, causes him to have a longing for a home of his own with a wife in it, aye and children, to besides. He knows without any argu- ment that men are a thousand times better off in love than those without it, whoSe hearts are cold, deSolate and barren. He recognizes the truth of those sublime words: Man was not made to dwell alone.''
 It takes two hearts united by love and marriage to make this world a paradise on earth. Let no one scoff at love.

BEAUTY CHATS
(By Blanche Beacon.)
ALCOHOLIC DRINKS

There are no two ways about it. You cannot be beautiful and indulge an appetite for alcoholic drinks.
 Alcohol is especially detrimental to the skin and eyes. It is heating, of course, and thus acts directly upon the blood. The blood, laden with this artificial heat, carries it to the cells of the skin, and these cells throw it off in a greasy precipitation that makes the face oily and greasy.
 Again. this artificial heat burns the pores, and it is this that causes red noses and flushed faces such as are seen on the users of alcohol.
 You may argue that wine, etc, en- ivens you, and brightens your eyes. Here again the artificial heat is re- Sponsible. It creates a glow, but af- ter the effects have worn off, look at yourself in the glass. See how heavy and bIoodshot your eyebalIs are, how droopy and dark your lids. Great circles are under your eyes, and your becoming flush is succeeded by sickly pallor-
 Notice women in public life to any extent How many of them that have any claims to real public po- sition use spirituouS liquors? How many successful actresses drink heav- fly, and if you happen to notice one who does drink, see how different she looks off the stage
 Then, too, a woman must be eS- pecially careful as to her conduct in a public place. If she is with a man and drinks too much, she attracts at tention to herself and her escort by her actions, and both are ridicu1ed by the other diners. As every woman knows, nothing has quite the same cold-water effect upon a man as rfdi- cule directed against himself or some one with him. It is fatal He inn mediately begins to see little imper- fections in her that he has not no- ticed before. He mentally compares her with the more quiet and digntfied women near him. Or perhaps this reaction comes when he is home thinking it over" At any rate, be sure 1t will come.
 Get into the habit of asking for lemon and orAngeades at dinners Un- less you are exceedingly honest with yourself, better put the wine list aside for good.
