A ONE-TIME ADMIRER.

sHTinne found our tired love sleeping,
 And kissed away his breath;
 But what should we do weeping, ' Though light love sleep to death2
 We have drained his lips at leisure,
 Till there's not left to drain
 < A single sob of pleasure,
 A single pulse of pain
 Because a man may fancy a girl at one time it does not follow that his re- gard for her will be lasting. He may talk love ardently to her, write it in letters a year or more. But that Is not proof that his ardor will not cool Long after man has forgotten one of these love episodes in his life the girl in the case will remember and cling fondly to the belief that he still thinks Of her, no matter where he may be.
 The heart of man is changeable. When his interest in a particular wo-5 man dies out, that is the end of it, so afr as he is concerned. In his arduous pursuit of a new love he has no time to ritter away in day dreaming over. the past. In the course of events, he may Be brought, in after years. face to face with the girl whose personality once so appealed to him. But he can clasp her hand once more and look into her eyes without experiencing one ex- travagant heart throb.
 Not so a woman The mention of her one-tirne admirers name thrills her being. The memory is sweet to her. She deIudes herself into believing that she sees the oId-ti1ne brightness in him; notes the old-time tenderness when he speaks her name She may not have cared over much for him at. first, but time has me1lowed her o7o- jections. Her appreciation of him now dominates. To tell her that her one- time adnirer had lost all interest in her would be to destroy one of the tend1erest illusions of her girlhood Even though she is welded to anot her, she likes to believe her ore-firne ad- mirer regrets losing her. Her first question if they meet is: Are you still single?'' If he answers stNo!ss she is consurned with curiousity to be- hold the woman who has had the pow- CT. to win him, to know if he has told wife is imbued with as deep an inter- est to see her. Women Of practical sound sense cast aside these early, youthful fancies,. knowing them to be like fraiI castles in the air tumbIed down years ago. She knows that it is simply because her one-tine adHairer has not happened to come across the one woman in the world who. aS7ak- ened a responsive chord in his heart that he has remained single, if he is unwedded. Her husband looks com p1acentIy on at the meeting of his wife and the one-time adrnirer, Jea1- ous2 Not a bit of it. He knows the heart of a man too well; when he re- signed her to single bIessedness or to another, he was indifferent to her. He found the happiness the other time admirer lost.

AsHFUL WIDoWER.

Dear NItss Libbey:
 would like your opinion on the fol l6wings am a SWidower of forty-three. and ch1ld1ess. have been beauing about a young woman of thirty for the past few months. She is jolly and good eompany.I was thinking serious Iy of proposing marriage until the fol lowing took place;I had accompanied her to an affair at the home of a friend. During the evening an acquan- faIces remarked to her. Do you go in for women's rights, Miss R. 9, 'tllo'' she answered-I m going in for wo- mans 1efts.s, What's that2,' every f1ody asked. Her answer took my breach away. She replied, s5Vidower', Was that not an dnsuIt to me? We never spoke as I escorted her home, nor even when I left her at her door Was I in the right or was wrong?

The Connecticut Company is not to operate the new line which is to run from Hol1ister. avenue in the city of Bridgeport to Lordshfp Park. It was learned today that though an ar rangement has been sought by the Stratford' real estate operators to have the company operate the line after it's completion next summer the matter when placed before the trus- tees of that company, appointed py the courts to effect 8 severance Of the traction lines from the New fda-- ven railroad dominion, was turned down.
 The Lordship Park promoters still plans to build the strip of track, q dis tance ofg2.7 miles between Hollister avenue and their casino and will have to erect a power house or get current from the United illuminating charged with no transfer, should this plan be carried into operation, for the Connecticut Company will not permit the Joining of tracks lest the Public Utilities Conamis- sion force a right of way over the Connecticut compa1y's lines. as in the case of the Bridgeport & Danbury line to Long Hfl1.
 Engineers of the Connecticut com pany who recently have looked into the situation, are said to have re- ported to the trustees that the busi- ness from Lordship Park, at this time and for some years would not warrant the operation of the line by the Con- necticut company. It was upon this report, it is said upon reliable in formation that the trustees at their recent meeting refused to acceoe to the request of the Lordship Park of fcers.

The city of Turin is occupied with
the task of reorganizing the public
lighting on modern basis, and not
less than 100000 will be employed
for this purpose, the work to be car
ried out from 1914 to 1916. According
to the plans. arc lamps will be usei
in all the main streets and avenues,
also the public squares, while smaller
streets are to be lighted by incandes-
cent lamps. Flaming arcs in closed
globes will be used. About 5000 lamps
of 1000 candle power each will be
installed. In some places incandescent
lamps are used, some being of the
5000 candle power type. and the rest
of 100 or 200 candle power. These are
much better than the present gas
lamps, which give only so candle pow
er. Current for the whole system

tons of gun-metal finish for its sole

depend upon clever cutting for style
and becomingness more than anything
else, and are designed to suit different
figures. The longer coat looks espe-
cially well on stout figures. making
them look more slender. 1t manages to
narrow the appearance of width across
the shoulders and to add to the length
of the neck.
The belt is placed below the waist
line and is extended at each side so
that the ends cross at the middle of
the back and are fastened where they
terminate IN the side seams. 1t is q
marvel Of clever management for the
effect of slenderness 1t lends to the
stout figure.
The overall coat is a ready-made
garment, and one may expect the best
and most satisfactory results by Sc
lecting it from the stocks which are
made ready to wear each season. This
insures the services OF experts in de-
signing and cutting and perfection in
the workmanship required in making.
