BY DOROTHY DIX.
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman
Writer.


I GET a great many pathetic letter,
from women who write that tho
men they love have ceased to love
them and pitltully ask how they can
regain this lost affection
Sometimes the letter is from a wife
who says that her husband ha, grown
tired OF her, that he docs not take the
trouble even to pretend to care for her
or take any interest in her anymore
She might be the kitchen stove for all
the tenderness ne ever shows her. He
never observes how she looks He
never comment, ON what she does except
to criticize It, He > silent n the grave
or else as grouchy as a sore headed
bear around the house
Few Ask for Divorce.
Sometimes the man come, out bodily
and honestly and tells hi, wife that h.
no longer loves her and asks her ~
elye him a divorce Oftcncr he lack,
the courage TO put the ghastly truth in
words, but m hlS sullen looks, his i'm
patience Of manner, his joylcss attitude
towards life, his poor wife reads her
doom. She knows that her husbands
love for her is dead, that he never looks
at her without rcgretting the folly that
made him marry her and that only 4
sense Of honor and duty and compassion
makes him endure her with outward pa
tlenCe
Sometimes the woman who writes is a
woman who has lost the love Of a man
on whom she had not even the legal
claim Of matrimouy Sometimes for
years the man and woman had been
Swcethearts. and he had monopolzed
her time and attention, driving all other
sultorS away Very often it had been a
beautiful relationship, full Of sentiment
and romance, generosity and sympathy
the real mating Of two hearts and
souls.

Realizing the Truth.

And then something happened. some
thing so vague and intangible that the
woman never knew why, nor when, nor
how the tragedy occurred. but gradually
the fire died out OF the mans love max
ing and IT grew colder and colder until
it was just a handful OF ashes on the
altar Of what had been a great passion
The man quit coming TO see her so oft
en-, then. stayed away for weeks. and f.
nalIy only came when she bullcd him
into IT by frantic notes and telephones,
and at last the day came when the wom-
an faced the bitter fact that the man
she loved was weary Of her that she
bored him and that she was a burden
on his hands
And these poor, forsakrn, neglected
women, mourning over their dead loves,
ask what they can do to- breathe into it
once more the breath of life.
Alas, there Is absolutely nothing
that they can do. No one can give
them a reliable recipe for warming
up lukewarm affection or reheating
cold fancy. The days of miracles
are past and no one has the power
to bid a dead love to arise and walk
again.
Love Is like a disease. When we
have recovered from II, il is over,
for good and all. When the indi-
vidual who has once thrilled us
ceases to thrill us, nothing that he
or she can do will quicken the pulse
by single heart beat Nor can any
will or desire of ours bring back the
dear, delightful pang that crisped
our nerves and sent our tempera-
ture up to fever heat.
Charm, interest, attraction, the
mysterious something that draws rs 10
another We neither understand nor can
explain. We only know that VIC feel
them for a time and then We feel them
no more The ono that We have
thought beautiful becomes hldeous in
our eyes The ono who interested MS
turns into the most wcarSomC OF horcS
Little tricks Of personality that We
once found enchanting get on our
nerves Love is dead Sclah
Falling Out as Well
We do not know why We fall in
love. We do not know why we fall
ont of love The thing merely happens

DIR. HILLlS'SFAITH
SHOWN BY CHECKS
Colonel BeeCher Produces
Blanks in Examination
of Ferguson

Frank L. Ferguson, former business
agent for the Rev. Or. Newell Dwight
Hills, pastor Of Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, underwent yesterday before
Referee William D. Dickey an exhaus-
tive examination by Colonel William c.
Beecher, counsel for the minister.
Mr.. Ferguson asserts that DR.. Hills
owes him about $4,000. Colonel
Beecher tried TO draw an admission
from the former agent that he was
charging $4,000 in commissions on
negotiations for timber land sales
never completed and on which, accord
ing 10 the lawyer, DR.. Hills made no
profits
To show his clients onetime trust in
Mr. Ferguson. Colonel Beecher pro-
duced checks totalling $4,000, drawn
iE blank 20 permit their negotiation by
Ferguson whenever DR.. Hills was away
from Brooklyn. Seven checks were
drawn on the minister's account by
Ferguson. as attorney, and made pay
able 20 himself. the lawyer said.
Colonel Boecher alleged that Fer
guson had also charged DR. Hills Sl0,-
900 commission on n 100000 sale,
though as business agent he knew the
ministers interest in the timber tract
amounted TO only $685. 900.
"Dr Hills had obtained $4,000 from
the Bank of Long Island on a note in
dorsed," said Ferguson in reply. III
gave as security 375 shares of the stock
of the Western Timber Company which
he represented that he owned. Later
learned that Percy Hills claimed that
these shares had been turned over TO
DR.. Hills only as collateral for loan.
7 then obtained complete control Of the
timber company for Or. Hills. and so
made him practically sole owner of the
tract in question.
81 made sos, 900 for him on this trans
action. We agreed that for saving his
face and his investment in the Bank of
Long Island I was 20 have half OF what
he made. Instead ! charged only the
regular 10 per cent commission
Mr. Ferguson admitted that Dr. Hills
had not proited by one incomplete
transaction on which he was being
charged a $4,000 commission, and that
the minister lost considerable when he
had to surrender the land involved.
