IN not writing you oftener, but oh,
what is the use of trying to give rea-
sons why people do not write letters.
One is that they are too happy and
the other is they are too miserable.
Margie, am both. am too happy
some days and just take up all my
time hugging my happiness to my
heart, and l am so miserable other
times that l don't dare to write you,
you-one-woman that understands,
because know that 1 could not keep
from you the real reason of my joy
and grief.
81 am not going to try to keep it
from you, Margie. It is man. of
course it is a man l hear you say,
but how can it be the same man that
makes you both happy and miser-
able
well, perhaps 1 am wrong about
his making me miserable. 1t is cir
cumstances that do that, but Margie,
dear, he certainly makes me perfectly
happy when am with him. ..
you know Max came over on the
next steamer after l left for Paris. l
had not been here since my chorus
girl days and, although 1 never told
you, was very unhappy at that time.
1t was before met Jack, and because
l was so shy the girls called it,
was left much alone. At this time
met an artist who interested me much
and 1 posed for him. He was quite
as poor as and we used to take such
enjoyment in little walks in the envi-
rons of the city. We used to get up
early and eat our breakfast at lit
tie place where the old French wom-
an called US Monsieur ct Madame. We
thought it was very funny, then
never dreaming that our innocent
masquerade would sometime bring
us both great annoyance and pain.

CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
MARY Is IN LOVE AGAIN

love 10 me. he was 100 dnDlIlOuS, D.
too engroSsed in his work, but he
liked to have me with him because
not only saved the price of a model,
but could also help him with intel
igent criticism. He had all the ego
tism of genius and it seemed to me
that was doing my little mite in the
worlds work by helping him to gain
the fame and fortune he deserved.
But the long stretch of hard road
with Jack had almost obliterated him
from my mind until l reached Paris.
l had a week to myself, and then it
all came back to me and l visited
one by one the little cafes and pat
tisseries that we used to frequent.
'"The old woman in -- had not
forgotten me, and asked about Mon
sieur, and 1 foolishly told her that 1
expected him later.
'You see, Margie, was alone and
the little memory was rather pleas
ant, and thought 1 would play at it
for little while.
Madame looks sad, she exclaim-
ed sympathetically.
81 am sad because l must be alone
in Paris for week." l answered.
81 thought to myself will never
come to this place again, so l might
as well play the comedy out.

never content to ring down the cur
tain; she always wants a fourth or a
fifth act. Any one of us ought to be
content with good time and when
it is over to lay it aside in the laven-
der of memory and hide it away if we
must put it somewhere.
Thave come to the conclusion that
men are perfectly content to fling
their past good times on the ash heap
of forgotten things, but we women
want to keep on with them. We
never seem to realize that pleasures
are doubly pleasures because they

BOYS TESTIFY IN
 POLICE COURT CASE
Model Youth Shocked by Lan-
 guage Of Auto Driver

Booth Tarkington, had that eminent writer been with Judge John H. Kirk ham in police court this morning, would have been able to make excel lent capital in one of his us Kids stories as brought out by the testi- mony of four boys, Louis Ffrnhaber, Adam Zeigler, Hermann Preissel and ArVid Thorwaldson, who appeared against William McNamara, charged with reckless driving and breach of the peace on Thursday evening.
 Found-A Model Boy.
 Attorney Joseph Glover appeared for McNamara and enlivened the case by his talk with the youthful wit nesses. The Firnhaber boy said he was standing with one leg over his bicycle near the corner of Dwight and East streets Thursday evening when McNamara came driving down Dwight street in M. T. Whites truck at very fast rate of speed. He said the rear mud guard of the auto struck him on the hip, but the driver continued and turned into East and Jubilee street until he had to stop because the road was torn up. He said he followed Nc Namara and complained about being hit, whereupon the latter upbraided him and used offensive language. Upon being questioned by Lawyer Glover the Firnha Der boy admitted that he fol- lowed McNamara down Jubilee street where he told him he was a very poor auto driver and his boss ought to get a man who could manage a car.
 Arvid Thorwaldson gave similar tes- timony and when asked what it was that McNamara had said to Firnhaber he said he could not rem ember as he was mot accustomed to hearing such bad language"
 "Oh, I see, you're quite a model young man, aren't your" smiled the lawyer.
 "You betcher!' the boy answered.
 Adam Zeigler, another boy, told of the incident and when asked regard ing a complaint by McNamara that the Firnhaber boy refused to get out of the middle of the road so he could turn around, said the reason young Firnhaber would not move was be- cause he didn't want to get onto the sidewalk with his bicycle "because you get arrested for getting on the side walk with a bicycle.'
 McNamara denied speeding on Dwight street and said he did not hit young Firnhaber as @ subsequent in vestigation proved. Albert Laskosky also testified in behalf of the accused.
 Judge Kirkham ruled that there was a technical violation of the auto law
