KISSING IS
 PARTING OF LOVERS

D. E. D. writes: CT am much pug zled. At a resort in summer, I met 9 young man of 20. I thought very highly and truly of him. Became en- gagged in August. Weeks after, I met him in town. His greeting to me was very cold and distant. Did not pay attention to me, as he once did. I aswed the meaning of this. He only answered, None Since then he vis- it's me little. Says he will keep prom ise to be my betrothal. Girl friends he cares not for me. Kindly advise what to do. Is it proper to kiss good night if engaged? ?''
 Perhaps he is accustomed to chang ing girls, like the seasons. Confidence in him is destroyed. If he continues changeable, a better one for you is preferable. Kissing. is most unfavor- able, even if engaged. Often parts lovers.

Give me the house where the toys are

 Where the dolls are asleep in the

 tiny cart
 With it's horses rules the floor, And the rest comes into my wear
 heart
 For I am at home once more. Give me the house with the toys about With the battered old train of cars, The box of paints and the books left
 out
 And the ship with her broken spars; Let me step in house at the close of That is filtered with children's toys, And dwell once more in the haunts of
 play With the echoes of bygone noise. Give me the house where the toys are The house where the children romp And I'll happier be than man has been Meath the gilded dome of pomp. Let me see the litter of bright-eyeE Strewn over the par1or floor, And the joys knew in a far-of day Will gladden. my heart once more. Whoever has lived in toy-strewn
 home
 Though feeble he be and gray, Will yearn, no matter how far he roam,
 or the glorious disarray Of the little home with it's filtered

HUSBAND TORE UP HER POCKETBOOK
 TESTlFIES WIFE

You needn't think you're going to buy pocketbooks with my money,'' said Robert Heil, as he took the pock- etbook from his wife and tore it apart. That was the statement made by Tillie Efeil of this city in the superior court yesterday afternoon when she aL- peared to seek a divorce from Robert Heil of this city. Among other acts of cruelty she mentioned that Hell threw a jewel case at her, hurled shoes at her and knocked her down. Judge Gager granted a decree. Mrs. IIeiI married the defendant July 29, 1906.
 The court also granted a divorce to Susan Bakos of this city who applied for a separation from John Bakos of this city. She accused him of cruelty. Her testimony showed that Bakos beat her when he was intoxicated and sometimes when he was not. The couple were married September 2S, 1907.

BRAVES DANGER FROM SUBMARINES
 TO BECOME BRIDE
Pretty Italian Girl Risks Death or Capture To Join
 Fiance.

New Britain, March "A pretty romance has eliminated here in hap py marriage. About nine years ago Albert Lose left his home in Italy to seek a livelihood in America, leaving behind pretty Valentine Ascari, a wistful- l-eyed Italian girl, with whom he had been we'll acquainted and who promised before he sailed to wait un- til he acquired sufficient fortune in the land of promise to support her. Lose secured employment in the fruit store of Neri Brothers on East Main street in New Britain, working there faithfully until, few years ago, he felt able to have his parents and his younger sister, Lydia, come here. The last mentioned was sent to school, adapted herself well to the customs ard language of the country and then commenced work in the store with her brother
 About six months ago the hard work done by these two people re- suited in the purchase of the Neri store.
 During the years Albert worked here his thoughts harked back to the girl he left when his ship set sail. He continued correspondence with her. Finally, satisfied that he could support a wife, he sent word for the girl to come here to share his for tunes, and the patient woman set sail on the Giuseppe Verdi for America.
 There were a few dark days-days of anxiety and waiting. subma- rine chased the Guisseppe Verdi for three days, according to tales told by passengers when the boat arrived at New York; but when the ship dock ed, and Valentine stepped on the shore of the country where she was to make her future home, Albert awaited her, and events after that time moved rapidly. Extensive inn provements and renovating were made in the East Main street store, and the place was given a festive ap- pearance, such as by rfgnt should greet a bride who has crossed the sea to meet her lover.
 The couple were married Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs Lose will make thoir home on Spring street.

 SUFFRAGE NEWS
(Mrs. Edward Porritt, Hartford)

(Mrs. Edward Porritt Hartford)
 Chicago is much further away than New York. Yet quite Q number of 1Connecticut suffragists are intending to be in Chicago early in June and to take part in the great suffrage pa rade and demonstration which is al- ready being planned for June 7th. On the 7th of June both the Republican and the Progressive National conven- tions open, and the object Of the pa rade is to impress the delegates who will be gathered in the Windy City of the force and intensity of the de- mand for woman suffrage. The Ma tionaI American Woman Suffrage Association is asking from the Re- publican National Convention an en- dorsement of woman suffrage - plank in the party platform declar- ing unhesitatingly in favor of votes for women.
 It is we'll known that many of the Republican leaders favor this course Chief of these is MT. Mann of Illinois, the clever and adroit leader of the Republican minority on the floor of the House of Representatives at Washington. It is to be presumed that MT. Mann's suffrage principles are held out of pure conviction, but undoubtedly he believes that it is in the interest of his party to declare for woman suffrage or he would not put them toward. Woman suffrage is increasingly popular With the Repup- licans in Congress, as was plainly to be seen from the reception given by Republican members of committees and by the Central committee of the Repubuican party at hearings in Washington last December.
 The Progressive party already has a plank for woman suffrage in it's platform and it is well known that this plank will again be adopted at the Progressive convention in June If both parties unite on a single cam didate it will be the effort of the women to get this candidate to stand souarely for woman suffrage-to have a plank in the Republican platform as unambiguous as that in the Progress sive platform.
 The Democratic National Conven- ton will open in St Louis just a week after the Republican convention. The suffragists will be on hand in St. Louis as well as in Chicago. Their demonstration there will not take the form of a parade. It will be rather of the nature of siege than march, But there will be no lack of reminders to the Democrats that the women also expect a suffrage plank from them; and as a very large proportion of the Democratic members of the House and Senate are in favor of votes for women 1t Is highly probable that the Democrats will adopt the plank. As woman SuT- frage Is surely coming the Demo- crats will not willingly see the Re pub1icans make capital out of it while they are left out in the cold.

BABY BULLETIN
 IS MADE PUBLIC

Dr. J. T. Black. secretary of the State Board of Health, has made pub lie a bulletin prepared by the Chi1- dren's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor regarding care of babies and birth registration. The bulletin is as follows:
 Has the birth of your baby been registered2 If not, you should see to it that this duty is performed with out delay It may some time be of the greatest importance to your child that there be in existence an accu- rate legal record of his birth, date, place and parentage. Such a record serves to establish his age beyond question, and through this his right to the legal period Of schooling and freedom from labor. It may also serve to establish his right to a dis puted inheritance and to esta ab1isn for him various property or other legal rights which may be in dispute. There are numerous instances where the lack of this sort of record has been the cause of serious losses of inheri- tance and of educational and other rights.
 in New York City in 1918 the birth records helped to enforce the person. al or property rights of more than 138, ,00O persons.
 It is, in most states, required by law that the doctor, midwife or other attendant at birth shall report the birth to the registrar of births, but as this duty is not infrequently neg 1ected, parents should investigate to see whether it has been done properly in the case of their children.
 The complete registering of all births is indispensable, not only to the individual, but to the State and ma ton. The Federal Government can and does tell us exactly how great is the accession to our population each year by immigration, or intake from foreign lands. At each port of 1and- ing immigration inspectors record each arrival and tell Us his or her nationality, age, sex, destination and how much money eacah one brings. But the Federal Government cannot go into the States and cities and es- taDifsh registration offices and tell us how many children enter each State by birth. This work must be done by each State separately. We have TO national bookkeeping to account for the ebb and Gaw of human life as an asset and 8 liability of our civic organism. Wehave national rec ords to give our sanitarfans and stu tIeutfs a basis for their preventive stu dies. Congress by resO1Dt- on has UT yeG the States to enact and enforce sEitatIe registration 1eg'slatioa. The State governments must now act.
 Most of the States now have ade- quate laws; theeir enforcement, how ever, depends to a large extent upon popuIc P support. This support is as- sured if individual parents will insist upon the registration of each birth.

BUYING A WIFE.
"Where true love is not
 The skies are not blue, Nor sparkles the dew
 All hearts are untrue.

Many a man whose coffers and pocI1- cts are heavily weighted with gold thinks-although he has reached the half-century age nark-that he will have little or no difficulty in wedding the pretttest rosebud girl he can find.
 He deceives himself into believing that he could win the love of such a maiden. No man is so blind he who will not see. He cannot give a young wife youthful love in exchange hers. He can give her only what gold will buy-position and the trappings of wealth.
 If a fair young girl accepts his of fer of marriage, it is with no extrav agant heart glows that she faces the future. She studies the situation well. She gives him her hand and her com panionship in exchange for his gold. Where there is no love it is cleakly barter and sale. Had he been poor he could not have won her.
 Sue a couple cheat no one into the belief that they are happily mated It is noticeable how he dotes on her, but it is also plainly discernible that she barely endures his near presence Years of close contact and his devo- ton failing to win her favor, he ceases trying.
 The older a man becomes the less tolerant he is with youthful friVOlity 4 young wife of an old husband is apt to be lonely and to fret. She would be ever on the go to forget dull home life. Weather is apt to play many prankS on the man who has outlived his youth. Rheumatic twinges tell him that he canont face winter storms, dancing attendance on a young wife. He groN conscious that even his friends are plying her because of the dreariness of her young life.
 The average middIe-aged man, aye, his older brother, when single, cannot abide gray hairs and wrinkles. There will come an hour, sooner or later, when they will re~lize that there is nothing in this world than can make up for love, sympathy. true compan- ionship and the clasp of a gentle, ten- der hand.
 : The bride who goes to the altar without love in her heart seldom or never is innbued with the tender pas sion for her husband later on. As age falls upon him and business cares weigh heavily he becomes less good to look upon. It is in the hours of his decline that he realizes that 1natri- mony should not be barter and sale, but for love-the exchange of true hearts that would cling together through i'll or good fortune. Men should weigh the situation carefully when their fancy is taken by a youth full, girIish face and the temptation to wed is strong.
