Mollie was silent q moment and
then said, Dear. is 1t different
after a woman marries?"
Very. very different. don t
have to repeat that old story to
you about catching the car, am
sure. Men my dear, that Is, sue
cessful men, devote themselves
with single purpose to accomplish.
ing the thing they set out to do.
When q man IL making love to a
woman. II he Is much In earnest
he usually neglects everything else
until he wins-or loses-the girl.
Then. my dear Mollie, I have
found. from my own experience and
from the experience OF my friends,
that he considers the game ended
and that he Is at liberty to take up
his other interests in life. which he
usually does with renewed zest ana
activity"
But, Margie. what Is the girl
going TO do then? You '-~'-'p ~.

II will break my heart 10 have all
this beautiful time dissipated and
lost just because | am going to be
Chad's wife instead OF his sweet
heart
The thing to remember. my dear
child. is that marriage Is very dir
ferent from that first flush OF love
and desire. Romantic love Is but
an incident OF life and marriage

TO get the right perspective. /
think women are happier whose
lives are filed with work and
things which keep a woman from
thinking too much Of herself. The
self-centered woman Is never hap

just beginning to fnd ouselves, are
very apt TO look at life and love in
their relation to us, instead OF look.

and life"

M'CABEALLOWED $2,O00
 FROM BRADY ESTATE
Heirs May Take Appeal from | Ruling of Probate
 Judge.

Judge B. F. Gaffney of the court of probate today announced that he had allowed Patrick McCabe S2,OO0 for his work as co-administrator of the estate of Thomas H. Brady. Mr. Me- Cabe's bill for services was $2,50O.
 Heirs of MT. Brady opposed the bill of $2,500 claiming that Mir. Mo- Cabe had done nothing to warr ant the allowance of that sum. One close to the Brady family stated today, aft CT Judge Gaffney had made his an- nouncem ents that the decision would probably be appealed to the superior court.
 A hearing on the bill for services was held in the court of probate on Monday, December 6. MT. McCabe was represented by Judge Walsh and the Brady family's counsel was Judge William J. Malone of Bristol.
 Mrs. Nellie J. Brady, widow of Thomas H. Brady and co-administra. tor with MT. McCabe, said the latter had already been paid $2,5OO for ser vices and that he told her this amount would cover his full term as admin istrator. In this respect .;he was corroborated by Assistant Fire Chief William J. Noble, who is manager of the Brady Electric and Manufactur- ing company on Center street. MT. McCabe, on the witness stand, denied having agreed to continue as admin istrator without further reimburse ment. His claim is based chiefly on his work adjusting differences be- tween the Brady estate and .he Hart ford Auto Parts company, in which MT. Brady was at one time heavily in terested.
 Considerable bitterness has been aroused by the claim for $2.50o ad- ditional made by MT. McCabe and an interesting battle is anticipated In the superior court.

GERMAN AMMUNITION
 ENDANGERED BY FIRE
Blaze in Store Room at New York Exinguished Before Flames
 Could Reach War Supplies.

New York, Dec. 27.-Three million rounds of cartridges, thousands of Springfield rifles and revolvers and other weapons were endangered by a fire in the storage room of building in West Houston street early -~dov.
 The fire was quickly extinguished with small loss. before reaching the amm munition.
 Police who investigated the circum- stances said they learned that the ammunition was bought in this coun- try by German agents seven months ago with the intention Of shipping it to Germany by the way of South America and a neutral European port. The plan, they sad failed be- cause sailors of Bri -ish vessels refused to engage in work of carrying am- munition to the enemies of Great Britain.

S4OO A FOOT FOR BURRITT rA.~ PERTY
Mayor Quiglcy Says School Land Should Fetch This Rate-Would
 Buy Up Entire Square.

Four hundred dollars per foot is the value placed on the Burritt school property having a frontage on Main street by Mayor George A. QuigleE The property abuts on Main street 161 feet and the man who buys it will have a neat sum to pay over to the city The East Main street side, measuring 222 feet, has a value of $2OO per foot, according to Mayor Quigley It is said an offer of $100.- 900 has already been made by orc citizen but city officials believe larger sum can be secured. The school building itself is of little or no value and rather tends to deprc- ciate the site, which is admirably To- cated for d large businCcs block.
 Mayor Quigley believes it would bo an excellent scheme for the board of education to purchase the entire block bounded by Main, North, Clark and Lee streets. All that land would not be used for school purposes inn mediately but the mayor says such a deal would be good investment. The unused section could be utilized as a playground.
