In the April American Magazine,
Hugh S. Fullerton, continuing his
series of articles entitled American
Gambling and Gambler" describes
gambling at Palm Beach. Following
is Mr.. Fullerton's account of one story
he heard at Palm Beach last season:
Persons who frown over the gro
Gerry bill and housewives who chew
the ends of lead pencils and grow
wrinkles because the price of steak Is
up two cents will be interested In the
following yarn: One evening my wife

Club to see the sights. Just ahead oil
US was q party-three women and two
men-and the narrowness of the walk
compelled US to fall In behind them
and follow to the club veranda. One
of the men was telling a story Of a
woman who, in spite of her husbands
riches, was stingy. That day in the
hotel she was dressing for tea and her
husband was lettering in the boudoiI
waiting to escort her to the outdoor
grill. Accidentally she knocked her
bank book to the floor. He picked II
up and glanced carelessly at the fig
ures; then, in surprise, demanded to
know where she had accumulated SC
much money. There was a scene
She stormed, wept, but finally con
fessed it was money she had taken
from his pockets during the six weeks
they had been in the South. The sum
was more than twenty-seven thousand
dollars, and he had not missed it."

WHY MEN BLUSH. 4,

Disease as a topic of conversation
is due first of all to an increase in in
dividual selfishness, which in its turn
leads to coarsening of mental fiber.
The conventional question of How
do you do?" is no longer accepted as
a greeting of courtesy. 1t is regarded
as serious pathological inquiry, and
the lady to whom it is addressed con-
siders it necessary to enter into mi
mute and delicate revelations that
would bring qualms to the stomach of
a crocodile and blush to the cheeks
of a satyr. And 1t must be admitted
that in this respect it is women who
are the chief offenders. They seem
positively to revel in medical discus
sions that would make man feel a
little bit sick. 1t is fairly safe to
assume that two women conversing
in street car are talking about
diseases, or that they will be doing so
the moment some chance word gives
the opportunity to begin And SO we
see another conventional theory in its
death struggle. There was time
when the feminine mind was supposed
to be one of peculiar delicacy. There
was whole category of subjects that
must not be mentioned before women.
Now it is men who feel certain ap.
prehension of improprieties and in
delicacies as soon as women begin to
talk.-The Arganaut.

BACK TO THE PEOPLE.

A woman writer left New York req
emily to go back to the village where
she was born. She was going there,
she said. not in search of atmosphere,
as some Of her literary friends Sup
posed, but just to live. Nor was she
going back to her people to "uplift"
them, as others Of her city friends
thought. The people back there in the
village, this woman asserted, were
practicing the ten commandments
faithfully, and it would be traversity
to speak of uplifting them. She rather
hoped to be uplifted by them. The
attitude which this woman takes to.
wards her people back home is exceed
ingly refreshing, and, incidentally, is
the best way to get atmosphere. Many
others Of our popular writer's and
novelists might well follow this wom-
ans lead. They might well go back to
the people, not with the uplift, "holier
than thou" attitude with which they
now comeTnot to Study them, lob
serve" them. but just to live among
them, be one of them. 1t would do
them good.
The major part of the popular fiction
of today has lost nearly every connec-
ton with real life. The average story
or novel deals with unreal people and
describes unreal situations. The ad-
vice Of the writer's to go out and live
among the people might also be given
to the editors and publishers of fiction,
especially to our magazine editors. At
present these editors seem to be print.
