If anyone asked you to play game with him, and to stake in 1t twice as much as he staked, you would say that the party who asked you to do such thing was mean and unfair, wouldn't you?
 Well, isn't that just what the mar ried man who persuades a young girl to go about with him and ac- cept his attentions is doing?
 One of my most precious posses sions is a little slip of paper on which are typewriter the words:
 Tt may afford you some satis-
 faction to know that your few
 lines of advice have deeply inn
 pressed a thoughtless, impulsive
 girl of twentN-tWO, who only this
 morning about decided to accept
 and encourage the attention of
 married man of about forty years
 who has been flattering and mak-
 ing love to her for the past two
 yearS.'
 That was sent me some years ago and in the intervening years, again and again, I have come into touch with these sordid, pathetic little tra gi-rOmanceS.
 When The Thorns Begin to Hurt
 Their Feet.
 I see them in the business world, I hear of them in my home commit nifty, people write me of girls whom they know who are treading the path where primroses so soon give way to thorns, and sometimes the poor girls themselves write to ask advice when they begin to hurt their feet on the thOrnS.
 The thing that gets under my skin in all these affairs is the unfairness of them. They play the game to- gether, he or she, but his stake Is always so much less than hers.
 She is stalking her reputation, her hope of a happy home of her own with good man who is in posi- ton to take her honorably as his wife, her friends, and if she is a busi- ness girl, her position. His stake is the anger of his wife if she finds out, which she probably wont. In some cases it might mean divorce, but little repentance, a repudation of the girl and few as

Silks are used at every hour of the day this season and here is an exceedingly useful and at the same time essentially smart frock. It is made. of plain and figured tafeta and can be made availabl tor many needs and for many different occasions. The blouse is very simple one with the round yoke that is becoming to so many figures. The skirt is novel, At back and front, there is panel; at the Sides, however, the full portions are joined 10 the yoke. For most figures, the full length panels that extend over the yoke will be found the more desirable, but if the entire yoke IS more becoming, the pa =; can be cut off at its lower edge and joined to it. The blouse can be made In three distinctly different ways-as illustrated, with full peplum or exten- sion below the waist line or the yoke can ie cut to mere band, giving low neck and short sleeves in place of the long ones, ii an evening bodice is in demand.

CUSTODY OF CHILDREN
CAUSES FAMILY ROW

Reports of family row last
night come from the south side in
which the woman in the case made
an attempt to gain possession of
her children which had been in the
custody of their father for some
time past.
The husband resented his wife's
attempts to kidnap the children and
the combined efforts of the city
police force and sheriff were nee
essary to quell the riot. The woman
and her husband have been separat-
ed for some time and last nights
trouble was the elimination of sew
eral unsuccessful attempts to gain
possession of the children. The
case is in the hands of officials at
present and will probably be def
nitely settled by them.

The case of b. O. Stone VS.. S. E..
Pugh, which was carried from the
Dickinson county district court to
the state supreme court was af-
firmed by that court last Saturday.
This is victory for Pugh, or the
S. f. Keener estate. 1t will be re-
membered that the case grew out
of sale of implements over at
Minneapolis, Kan, in which Pugh,
Pete Thomas and S. E. Keener were
interested The result is really quite
victory for George Davis Of this

after it was in the supreme court

The winning of the state cham
pionship rests mostly with the out
come of the Salina game. The team
has high hopes of making this a
great victory because of former re-
suits. Last week the A. H. S. team
won from Chapman by 10 points.
Prior to this d. c. H. S. won Min
neapolis with a score of 6 to 0. In
the earlier part of the season Min
neapolis tied Salina with a score of
to 6. This gives our team prae-
tically a 10 point lead over Salina.
Both the Salina and Abilene

one. This puts them on equal
ground and makes the race for the
high honor a close one
