CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE

tinued Mollie. 81 have. always felt
that if l ever quarreled- with him he
had only to sit down and play the
piano for me and l would forgive him
anything.
"The universal language of love;
music has for me greater emotion

My heart always beats to the music's
tempo. 1t almost has seemed to me

know, Margie, l have found myself
wondering at times if L would have
loved him so much had he not
charmed me with his exquisite impro-
visions as well as his wonderful in
terpretatiOnS of the masters.
HE tells me that early in our ac-
quaintance that was the only way he
could tell me he loved me. And l
don't mind saying to you that he told
it that way all right. l loved Chad's |
music first and then him, and al |
though many men have told me they |!

the joke I am going to tell you.

we went to restaurant, where they
have very good music, for little
lunch.
"Chad and l had been having some
discussion about The Jewels of the
Madonna and 1 said, Let's have the
orchestra play it. He called waiter

the leader to play "The Jewels of the

Chad began to tell me how lonely he
had been all that long, long time
after he had left me without hope of
ever seeing me again.
Every time l received a letter
from Pat l expected to hear that
some other man was paying court to
you, he said, but Pat did not say
much about you; not as much as 1
wanted to hear, anyway, and 1 did
not dare ask for more, although 1
wanted the whole letter to be about
you
And so we talked until the music
again made itself heard, and l said.
Wnat do you suppose is the reason
that orchestra leader does not play
The Jewels of the Madonna?
L don't believe the walters have
told him. Quite peremptoriIy he
called the head waiter and again I
made my request. In a moment the
beautiful music of the opera made
my heart beat faster.
There it is, Chad 1 said. Don't
you see was right about that inter

We were silent all through the

"A waiter same up softly. Miss

leader wishes me to tell you that he

Failure to secure promise of sup
port from her husband, Clyde Hopple,
for an unborn child. Mrs. Blanche
Hopple, committed suicide last night.
The wife, who lived with her parents
at Cameron and Verbeke streets was

There was a quarrel during which the

Adolph Wenke, who was in the house,
rushed out in time to see his sister
fall over. He called the ambulance.
Mrs. Hopple died at the Harrisburg
hospital at 1890, ten minutes after
she was taken there.

GRANOLITHIC WALK
IN NORTH FRONT ST.
Improve Stretch From Woodbine
to Division Streets; to Plant
Elms in Fall

OF all the recent public improve
ments through private enterprise none
has attracted more attention than the
long extension of granolithic sidewalk
on Front street from Woodbine to Di-
vision streets. With the exception of
a short stretch or two on the northern
section. all of this frontage is being
provided with proper sidewalks on the
eastern side. Under an act of As
sembly approved by Governor Brum-
baugh progressive property owners
have now the power to compel their
neighbors who are without public
spirit to join in improvements of this
character. II they do not do so. the
city is authaIzed to do the work and
then enter lien against the property.
The sidewalk now being constructed
on North Front street will relieve the
main highway of pedestrian traffic and
thus minimize the danger to those who
have heretofore been almost compelled
to use the street owing to the con-
ditions on both sides.
1t is the intention of the Park De-
partment next Fall to continue the
planting of elms from Woodbine street
to the city limits on the western side
and this will insure a splendid avenue
of trees throughout the entire 'front.'

HAS To SWIM ASHORE
IN BIRTHDAY GARB
And Then He Had to Worry About
Getting Home; Friends"
Took Clothes

Friends who saw John Atticks of
North Second street, Steelton, walk
ing across Front street, Steelton, at
o o'clock in the afternoon wearing a pair
of overalls and a short coat wondered
whether John was trying to keep cool
or whether something had happened.
Something had, but John would not
tell the story.
Several companions however, gave
the following explanation: John and
several other young men left early in
the morning for Hess's Island. across
from the Frances street boat landing.
After spending most of the morning on
the Island the fellows decided to take
a swim. Atticks, however, stayed in
too long and his friends got to shore
together with his clothing.
So John had two difficult problems
facing him. How to get to shore and
how to get home? After thinking a
bit he swan the 800 odd yards to
shore and prevailed upon some real
friends to loan him the overalls and
coat to get home. He got home all
right, but had some trouble explaining
just how he happened to loose his
clothes.
Several of the party claim that At
ticks had planned to upset the boat
on the way home so they decided to
start the joke little sooner.

The crime for which Stanley was
burned occurred during Wednesday
night Thursday morning a neigh Dor
calling at the Grimes home found the
three children of the household lying
in pools of blood. The parents had
been beaten about the heads and
bodies to such an extent that not until
to-day were they entirety conscious.
When Stanley was cast into the
flames he struggled to escape but was
repeatedly showed back. Several men
said Stanley confessed that he did the
killing, claiming that he had been
hired to do the deed. He begged to be
permitted to live long enough to tell
all about 1t. but his alleged admis-
sion of guilt was sufficient for those
around the fire. shot was fired,
which some claim struck the strug-

No Relief From Heat Wave Yet in

Relief for sweltering humanity in

at intervals to-day were only teasers.
Some consolation came in the fact
that the humidity was not so great as
yesterday.
Unless the big heat wave. covering
the entire country, does some unex-
pected thing, 1t is going to be still
hotter tomorrow. At the local
Weather Bureau there was given a
glimpse of a hope that a thunder
storm might cool things off bit but
indications even along this line were
unfavorable.
The humidity to-day reached rs at
