 Vaudeville deMarginy Hall was in the tolls of the Westerly police about four years ago when he was creating quite sensation in society at Watch Htll, and by automobile rides to Mar ragansett pier. by the lavish expen- checks payable on the Park bank In New York. and which were cashed by a Watch Hill hotel proprietor. Hall was arrested at the instigation of the Fuller Detective agency, of New York, by the late chief of police, Cornelius B. Bransfield. Hall was charged with forgery and given hearing in the Third district court at Westerly and held for trial in the superior court. He was adjudged guilty and sentenced to the Washington county jail for two years. Hall has had a sensational career both in this country and i'll Eu- rope and his arrest at the time was considered as important as any made in this section. He is son of William C. Hall, a business man of substance and character in New York, and who was a former Yale Oarsman. He did all he could to reform his son, but cast him off after finding him to be utterly incOrrigible.
 Hall secretly married Miss Frances Teal in Rochester after breaking his euga cement with Miss Wilson. of Ken lucky. Later. and before a divorce had been obtained. he married Viola Whit comb. a chorus girl of the Dolly Dol lars company, and went to Europe with her where. she charged later, he robbed her of S20,000 worth of jewels.

be spoony any more and my popu-
larity has died. Even the fellow
am going with is slowly letting me
drop, when he was just on the verge
of proposing. 1 love him and hate to
let him go. What shall 1 do? Con-
tinue to be ''spoony'' and be popular
and have good times; or not, and have
to sit around evenings all alone while
the rest of the girls have good times
1 will decide by your advice.
MISS c. B.
judge that you stopped being
spoony because you really love this
young man and want to be worthy
of a good man. Isn't it so, my dear
really good man doesn't want a
girl who has been paved over by
every other man she knows, and
1 think I'd rather know I was worthy
an old maid of me, than to lose the
whiteness of my womanhood just to
be popular and have good times.
Moreover, do you think that the
man who love syou only because you
are popular with other men will
stick after marriage? He'll prob
ably leave you alone at home while
he goes off after some other girl who
is spoony and popular with the fell
lows.
[ know that a great many young
men prefer the spoony girls and that
girls spoon with them in order to ap-
pear popular. But the girlwh o does
it is cheap, and when she marries
she will be held cheap by chr hus-
band-unless he is conceited enough
and she is clever enough to make
him think that she never spooned with
anybody else but him.
You must let your own judgment
decide whether you want a husband
through such means or whether you
will a self-respecting woman look
ing for something bigger and finer
than parties and theaters and the at
tertions of silly fellows who don't
make good husbands.

rather droll misunderstanding. He
was present at a concert where a
piece was sung by the choir with the
refrain:

Having a very imperfect knowledge
of English he fancied it to be a

thought he distinguished the words:
ITO Moreau, to Moreau.''
Each time the refrain was repeated
he rose to his feet and gracefully

not know what to make of it.
