modified its military system. Instead of
the mass assaults which were the major
principle of the I[aisers strategy up to
the early days Of the Ncrdum battle, at

This seemingly indicates that German

Paula, 81 had my first feeling of less
trust in Earnest Lawton, but even

judgment instead of ethics and mo-
raIity.
You remember the note 1 told you
I received from the man who wanted
to be loved as 1 know you can love-?
Well, a few nights after l got that
note a beautiful basket of orchids
was delivered for me at the stage
door. Nesting in them l found
jewel box and in it gorgeous dia-
mOnd and ruby ring!
There was a note asking me to
wear the ring when l came on the
stage at night if 1 was willing to go
out to dinner with the donor.
Il was furious and Immediately
ran to Earnest and showed him the
flowers and the ring. When he saw
the name, his eyes ightened with in
terest, Why, Paula, don't you know
you have made the conquest of one
of the richest men in New York; he
said.

Newton, actress, lives there is a very
different code .
DO you mean to tell me, Earnest
Lawton, men think any actress can
be bOught?' was my indignant in
quiry.
My dear baby child, not only any
actress can be bought but any per-
sOn-man, woman or child was his
calm rejOinder.
You know very well that your
cousin is willing to sell herself to any
man for money and position. But
that you accept ring, which means
no more than box of candy to the
man who sent it, does not mean that
you are ready to sell yourself for a
baubIe.
1t means, my dear, that you are
just letting him take the first trick.
He knows that as well as you. Ac-
cOrding to the rules, you will take all
you can get and give nothing, and he
will keep on giving in the hope that
you will eventually give in return.
If l were young and pretty

have the mans way Of looking at it,
for certainly no girl can accept jewels
from any man she does not love and
expect to marry. And Earnest,
continued with a little catch in my
breath, for my throat had seemed to
tighten while he was talking until
could hardly breathe, it almost
seems you do not love me since you

gifts
