There is little new activity in Ga

Fighting about SoiSsons has de-
velopcd into unexpectedly large pro-
poutions. The Germans and allies
have apparently thrown in heavy re-
infOrcements. Definite defeat for
either side might result in reshaping
the battle line over a long section of
front.
The Germans are believed to be
sending more troops in response to
a movement Of England, which is
pouring fresh soldiers weekly by the
thousands. Passenger traffic on Ger
man railroads has been suspended
for several days, and it. is assumed
extensive troop movements are under
way.
Although Russian forces in North

Battle Royal in Flanders.
London, Jan. l4.-Likc the stub
bornly contested battle early in the
patton Of West Flanders, the strug-
gle for a knoll northeast Of scissors,
known as Spur 1872, remained unde-
cidcd to-day, according to infOrma-
ton reaching London. The Germans
by counter attacks appear to be in
better position eastward of the spur.
In view Of the relatively small
amount OF ground gained, losses on
both sides have been heavy. The Ger
mans show no signs of abandoning
their attempt to retake the hill. It
is said Gen. Won Kluck himself is
commanding the German forces,
which it seems, lifts the battle out of
the ordinary run OF conflicts along
he " Western front. Further east,
near Perthcs, where another sharp
fight continues, the situation is not
materially changed, dispatches say.

Healthy Babv Smiles.

An interesting mental process with
physical manifestation which is found
in every healthy baby Is smiling. 1t
Is a remarkably early one, too, and a
child of a month old will often show
a distinctly pleased smile when its
little face is patted or 1t is tickled.
At first the smile spreads very slowly
over the tiny features, then, az time
passes, flashes up on the face and dies
away again with equal celebrity, and by
the time the first three months r
past is accompanied often enough by
little chuckles Of glee.
But laughter comes later, often
much later, and many children never
really laugh until they are a year old,
or even more. 1t Is, indeed, very rare
to hear laughter before the first six
months r accomplished, and when 1t
is heard 1t should be regarded as a
symptom Of unusual intelligence. may
be gratifying to a mothers pride, but
most certainly not to be excited or
provoked.

There is no better evidence that the
European conflict is depressing and
disturbing this country than the weird
dreams which everyone is dreaming.
And each dreamer has to narrate his
or her particular dream; then the
listeners go to dreaming in their turn.

dovelike little woman, in evident
amazement at herself, last night l

trombone the while. And the worst

"Ugh!' chimed in another dreamer.
my dream was worse than any of
those. l was appointed crown under

Skiing on the Water.

This ski is recommended as both
a life-saving device and a pleasure
craft, combining safety with novelty.
1t cannot sink; makes better speed
than a swimmer, and does not tire the
rider as swimming does. 1t is more
practicable for long distances, and can
go through water where there is a
heavy undertow, as 1t sets SO high in
the water that 1t is not caught in the
grip Of the ~undercurrent as the legs
of the swimmer are. It doesn't take a
long time to master, as the surfboard
does; requires no skill in balancing
and sticking on, and has the great ad.

tive power, whereas the ordinary surf.

guiding star at this happy time.
With a rich girl, 1t Is entirely diff
ferent. She does not pin her faith
to finding in the first ms who pays
attention to her a life partner saying
to herself, IF | do not accept him, l
can never get another opportunity to
we'd" She counts on having plenty
of suitors. 1t will be which M she
will take instead Of which n she
could get. Hope is not one Of the
blessings which make life's Joy for
her. She attends the theater with this
one tonight, goes to the dance with
another n next week, sleigh riding
with still another at a weekend party
and has no time to crown any one of
them the hero of her day dreams. She
does not realize, that, with hopes
lamp not lighted she misses a CLEAN
Of earthly paradise.
The rich girl is never entirely sure
that she will be welded for herself
alone. She never fears missing we'd
lock ultimately. Some rich girls i'm
agine-erroneously-if a poor young
man is polite he will marry her for
her wealth IL not for love Of herself.
This is not hope but a delusion on her
part. The poor girl hopes for a long
life Of welded bliss after she marries.
II she finds that the partner Of her
1ife'has traits which she did not know
of, she bravely does her best to bear
with and make the best of them. She
has 10 other home to go to, no other
heart to lean on, non to take her part
against him and tempt her to become
%estranged from him.
If the rich girl finds that her welded
path is not as rosy as she expected,
she is perfectly Independent with him.
She knows that she a gain her free
dom, that she will not suffer thereby
as far as support and a roof over her
head go. The relatives who have an
eye to her money take every little act

the breach between them and the hope
of reconciliation is crushed in her
heart.

an who Is without 1t finds life dreary

PLEASANT. 1t is not wrong for young
girls to have love dreams. It is nature,
Therefore natural. Poor girls are not
building their hopes upon finding a
rich young man to wed. All they ex-
pect is a loving and true heart. With
such a man they hope to win happi-
ness and good fortune, If the latter is
intended for them.

intensely annoying; especially If she
is a wife and mother. Her coQuetry
and alluring smiles are her stock in
trade, her meal ticket. If men will fall
In love with her on account Of it, she
is not to blame.
Every night before she goes to her
bed she writes a long letter to her dear
hubby. who is travelling on the road
with another company. After two or
three pages filled up about their chill
dren on at school, she devotes anoth-
er half sheet telling him of the foolish
Johnnie" who follows the company
from town to town, still ~bombarding
her with letters, which she returns un-
opened.
There are true and good wives and
mothers to be found among the pref
ty, girlish, stage beauties. They would
not care a flip of their finger whether
they were known as MRS" or Miss"
If they could draw the same salary in
either case. Indeed, many of the IA
vorite actresses wish that they could
tell the world what a happy home life
they have at least three months in
the year with an adoring husband and
large family of boys and girls about
them. The sensible man who falls in
love with the actress should make 1t
a point to find out at the outset wheth-
Ell she is free to receive his addresses
or not. She is one person on the
stage-quite another off. Mems de-
votion does not flatter her. She loves
only one true heart, and that one she
Is lawfully bound to.

It is a~rtifice when the manager puts
him off with one plausible excuse and

flowers and bonbons. Fate seems to
be against him because Of the fact that
they do not reach her. The messen-

was not there. II his infatuation for
the actress has taken deep root, and
he is a young man who has leisure and
money to follow his inclination, he is
apt to present himself in every town
where the charmer is playing, quite
oblivious to the fact that he has had
no encouragement.

Has thy uncertain bosom ever strove
With the first tumults of a real love?
Hast thou now dreaded and now bless'd

BY turns averse and joyful to obey?

pink of masculine, s~o-called, perfec-
ton, he with the scented locks and
curled mustache, who wore a Grim.
son rose in the lapel of his coat, pat
~ent-leather shoes, and who sported an
ebony, gold-headed cane?
He was a picture that many a 70
mantle girl glanced furtively at as he
stood on the street n with his
boon companions watching fair maid
ems fit by. Parents frowned him
down unless they happened to have
sons just like him. Women who could
air their opinions without fear OF car
ing a snap whether they offended or
not declared that the dude had a waist
too much on the hourglass type to
be quite natural. The tattlers whis-
pered to the scandalmongers that
they were ure he wore stays and
pulled them In pretty tight at that.
The dude walked with a mincing
gait. His trouser legs were as tight
as the girls skirts are today. He
spoke with a drawing accent, and
flirted~ shamefully. He was a walking
fashion plate, whose sole occupation
seemed to be to catch the eye Of a
pretty girl and bring a blush to her
cheek because Of his bold stare.
It has taken a decade of years for
the species to disappear. But where
have they gone? They certainly have
not developed into sensible business
fellows. They haven't brains enough
under their tilted silk sats for that.
The answer to the query is-they have
married foolish girls whose papas
were rich and able to support daugh-
ter's hubby. They have been trans.
ferred from the street M to the
old gents office, where they strut
about with important mien, flirting
with the stenographers and roundly
abusing the male clerks for being SO
unfortunate as to be under their con-
troll. They live in brownstone man
sions owned by their rich wives, fit
about in automobiles and are first
nighters at operas and theaters. The
dude will never work. He Is of the
peoples in life's field Of sturdy oaks.
If n sister in a family has married
a dude that has been quite enough of
example for her younger sisters. No
wonder the younger girl profits by her
experience. Her choice Of a husband
falls upon the ambitious, energetic
man, who looks what he is, a self
made, sensible, energetic youth who
dresses we'll, but not extravagantly;
who has a stock of good sense in his
head and the right kind of love in his
heart, and is pushing and capable Of
supporting, without her fathers aid,
| the woman who weds him. 1t is well
for romantic girls that the dude has
vanished and sensible men now have
come to the fore.
