& be read with interest, as Birmins-
ham has had the pleasure of entertain
ing Miss Alexa Stirling during a recent
golf tournament:
Not long ago. as was walking down
Whitehall. l noticed a slim young woman
in a brown linen smock and short SKIRT
sailor hat and high tan boots, pausing
before display of handsome diamond
rings in a Jewelry store.
rAh. ha," thought 1. some girl is con-
sidering what style she will have in en-
gagement rings this season."
Pretty soon l recognized Miss Alexa
Stirling, golf champion and sportswoman
par excellence.
Too young and too engrossed In golf
to be getting engaged" l concluded, and
dismissed the subject
A few days later 1 heard q young man
whose soul is so taken up with golf that
he has no time to spare to love, make
a remark like this:
Il saw Alexa Stirling playing around
the course this afternoon and 1 didn't
like the way she paid so much attention
to the man she was with instead OF her
game. 1 am afraid she will be off her
game if she gets interested in some
mani
Then 1 recalled the inspection of rings
and mentioned it. And the poor golf ex-
pert had fit!
Gosh, 1 hope she doesn't go and spoil
a champion now by falling in love!
What do you think of that? young
woman, because she is a good golfer, IS
to eschew young men and flirtations and
all that sort of thing" for fear of hurt

HER ANSWER

I have tried to show you my side
of our wretched misunderstanding,
and you have written yours. 1 do see
more clearly your viewpoint regard
ing Wanda Laurence, for 1 have al
ways felt man has every right to
keep his old friends after marriage
just as a woman has.
But 1 plead again that my anger
came from sh,psk and hurt, and the
sharp realization that my wifely bat
tie had begun. That never again
would l be the carefree, confident
girl whom you had set apart on
height no other woman could reach.
l tell you, no wife ever breathes
freely again. once the sense of ri
valry has been reused in her, no mat
ter how well she reasons, no matter
how well she knows such rivalry is
inevitable. 1t is like death. We know
it must come. Yet we are never pre-
pared for it. 1t always seems remote
until it is right upon us!
Moreover l knew nothing of Wanda
Laurence. / only know now what you
tell me-that she is an actress. young,
beautiful, temperamental, a lover of
life How could l help pain and panic
entering my mind? Yet you call my
behavior "inexcusable."
Don't you see it Is the business of
a woman like Wanda Laurence to
charm? She has every asset, includ-
ing freedom. She has nothing to lose.
l have everything. You once loved
her. This love was not killed; it was
only unfulfilled. She has the same
qualities. the same charm, she had
then. A man does not greatly change
because he is married Marriage holds
far less novelty, far less absorption
to a husband than to a wife. Given
temptation enough, and mans old
love can crop up as warmly as ever,
despite his marriage despite the
woman who tries to fip his heart.
Men as good as you have loved in
vain, then loved and married-and re-
turned to the unattained. the untried,
the unknown. oh, David, would not

foolishly so.
You say am neither foolish nor
petty. I am glad YOU did not ada

know. as 1 do that all women who
love, and many who do not, are
jealous.
Jealousy in it's good aspect is only
guardianship, protection. Why,
would be jealous if anyone tried 10

if someone took a garden from me
and made the flowers grow which
had lovingly planted.
But l pray God mine is not the
cheap jealousy that springs from
selfish sense of ownership alone. But
jealousy as 1 feel comes from the
longing I have to be more to YOU
and different to you, than anyone
else. In other words, l shall be jeal-

BIG FIRE IN NEW HAVEN.
Railroad Shops and Other Buildings
Burned - Loss 100000.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 27. -
Three large shops and several smaller
buildings at the yards of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad
in Spring street were destroyed by fire
late last night, causing an estimated
loss of 100000.
The fire started in a building where
iron was stored, spread to the paint
house, where hundreds of barrels of
varnish and paints caught fire, and
then jumped to the signal equipment
storehouse, the boiler shop, tank shop
and the Storehouse office.
The fremen were handicapped by
low water pressure, and it was not
until after midnight that the fire was
controlled. For nearly an hour there
was steady series of explosions of
track torpedoes which were stored in
one of the buildings. Many Yale stu
dents, attracted by the blaze, which
lighted the entire city, assisted the fire.

DIES OF INDIGESTION
Rutland Woman Had Not Eaten Solid
Food for So Years, or Since She
Was 12 Years Old.

RUTLAND, March 27-Mrs Amer
Amelia Reynolds, aged 10 years, wife of
John B. Reynolds, mining promoter, died
very suddenly yesterday afternoon at her
home on North Main street. few hours
before her death, Mrs. Reynolds, who had
been an invalid since her childhood, re
marked that she was feeling unusually
well. At $50 o'clock, however, she was
suddenly stricken with a severe attack of
acute indigestion The end came in less
than II minutes
The death of Mrs Reynolds ended a case
unusual in medical annals When she was
II years old she was stricken with diph-
liberia. The disease caused closure in
her throat, which no surgical skill could
remove. As a result of this affiiction, Mrs
Reynolds had been unable to partake of
solid food since her childhood illness For
the past 5S years all the food she con
sumed was in liquid form. In view of this
circumstance, her longevity excited much
interest among medical men.
Mrs. Reynolds was a sister of Mrs d.
B. Fayerweather, wife of a famous leather
king of New York When Mr. Fayer-
weather. who is said to have been worth
approximately S9,0000O0, died, he left a
will bequeathing the bulk of his estate tc
colleges and other educational institutions
Mrs. Reynolds and her husband contested
the will The case was in the courts sew
eral years before a decision was given
against the contestants.
