worst of it is that 1 know 1 have no
reason for feeling hurt and abused,
and that the thing l am feeling so bad
about is the best possible thing that
can be done for everybody concerned.
Ever since dear Aunt Mary came to
board at our hotel 1 have cherished
fond hope that some day could have
a little house or apartment and have
Aunt Mary live with us. have
dreamed many day dreams about it,
and yet have never told either Dick
or Aunt Mary about them. l was SO
afraid that either one or the other
would not approve of my plan, and l
kept putting off broaching the subject
from day to day, and now am afraid
it will never be.
When went down to Aunt Mary's
room this morning 1 found her deep
in making some mysterious lists.
what in the world are you doing,
dear auntie?" l asked.

which 1 am going to bring down to

please understand me, Margie,"
she continued. you and Dick have
been kindness itself, and if 1 had a
daughter would rather she were like
you than Mary. You are so capable,
so fair, and so an-around efficient.
But, dear, Mary needs me. She needs
my advice, she needs my company,
she needs my financial aid, and this
very need of hers is what is giving
me the incentive to live without your
dear uncle.
'Margie! Margie! You cannot
know the utter loneliness that comes
to a woman who loses her husband
after she has lived with him for years.
1t is like tearing the roots of your life
right out and throwing them upon
some heaped-up stones to die.
"You keep saying to yourself: It's
all over and you try to comfort
yourself with affirming that you have
had the living and loving, and that
that Is all that any one can ask. You
find yourself thinking of hopes you
have always felt would come to fru-
ition that are now absolutely blasted.
Having no children, as l, Margie,
you think why should you buy this or
beautiful thing that you have always
hoped to have before you die; it viii
only be mine for a little while, and
then perhaps no one else viii care
for it.

to the dictation of their political superiors re- signed. The clerk of the board, not being duc- tile, was removed.
 Quite recently Norman Leeds, the presi- dent, had occasion to protest against members of the body, selling to the city goods in which they were interested. He offered a resolution condemnatory of the practices but the resolution was voted down.
 Within lesst than year the authorities have brought about the purchase, or attempted pur- chase, of several hundred thousand dollars worth of Warrenite pavement, without eompe- tition, without bidding and without most of the protective methods which are usually thrown about large expenditures.
 It does not appear that anybodysin this case has made any presents, or that there are any old friendships involved.
 Those things did not appear in the New Haven case, until body competent to examine witnesses under oath, and to compel the produc- ton of books and papers, had probed the suspi- cious transactions.
 Fortunately, the rules of prudence and req son in the conduct of business are so well estab- Elished it is not necessary to have proof of any thing but the unusual and dangerous method of doing business,
 The time to compel corporate business to be done in the safe usual and approved way is not after things have gone so far that every thing is corrupt. The better way is to apply correction at the root, in the beginning, by sub stituting trustees who know what public opiI1- ion, and safe finance demand, for those who do not know, or who do not care to practice what they know
 Trustees Of the public power have no right to sell tosthe city what yields them profit from the sale.
 If the people permit large sums of public money to be expended with favored persons, without competition, they will regret it.
 The sooner Bridgeport abandons New Ha- ven methods in conducting its corporate affairs, the better off it will be-
 Buy the best goods in the lowest markets. Pay as you go. These are sound rules for any municipality to follow.
