WHEN johnny went marching
" off and the bands played
and the flags huttered
and everyone was keyed to the
highest emotional pitch, it was
very easy to imagine oneself in
love with Johnny and to swear
eternal loyalty to him.
But it was another matter to
keep that promise in the dull re-
action of the gray days that fol-
lowed. 1t was so easy to whisper
"yes" and VOW you'd never 90 out
to the movies, theater or dances
with anyone else while the regi-
mental band was playing clipper
airy" and the hooraying was going
on. But it became terribly hard
to keep that promise when no
bands played, flags huttered, and
every girl one knew was going out
and having a beautiful time.
You promised, but you really
fell in love with the drama of the
situation and not the actual soldier
boy.
And what the soldier boy-who
has forgotten-felI in love with,
was not the actual Mary Robin
son, but the idea of a girl praying
for him at home and keeping
light burning before his image in
the inner sanctuary Of her heart.
You see, perhaps he did not love
the actual Mary at all. but Just
the figure of that waiting girl
and when he came across the real
girl, he forgot all about the Law
figure at home. She was just
peg to hang a few grand opera
emotions on, anyhow.
Tragedy When One Loves And
the Other FanCies.
The real tragedy happens when
one loves and the other only fan
cies he loves. And it is better to
realize this, first as we'll as last,
and get the remedy adjusted ac-
cordingly.
This theme, and variations upon
il, are the burden OF a good many
letters that come to me these days.

Beatrice Fairfax Writes Problems Pitfalls War Workers
Especially for Washington Women

though the boys have not written
nor kept their word in regard to
fidelity-some of them even mar
rying - their overconscientious
sweethearts regard themselves as
bound by these past promises.
Such a letter came in my mail a
day or two ago, and why any girl
should fail to realize that such an
arrangement terminates auto
matically with the breaking of the
word Of one or the other of the
parties I don't see.
And still another letter that
came to me revealed a highly
amusing social comedy in which
both parties-"Johnny who went
marching off, and "the girl he left
behind him-had both been faith
less, yet neither was a good enough
sport to realize the humor of the
situation.
These are the facts OF the case:
Johnny fell in love with a French
girl and she came to this country
as his war bride. The girl he left
behind him had an almost similar
experience, she married a young
soldier who did not manage to get
cxperience-she married a young
people knew Of the marriage of the
other until about three weeks ago,
when all parties concerned met
face to face at war camp commu-
nifty dance.
There was Johnny and his
French bride and the girl and her
soldier husband. Johnny and the
girl, though each rad treated the
other with the same measure of
infidelity, were furiOusly angry.
Each berated the other and talked
witheringly, and it was only when
the French wife and the American
husband Of the parties Of the first
and second part introduced them
solves and decided to dance while
their respective spouses fought it
out that anything like peace was
restored.
In the meantime the latest war
romance became known to the as
sembled company, and the entire
room shouted with laughter while
Johnny and the girl continued to
accuse each other of a want OF
faith

Are You Afraid of a VOlCanO9
Javanese Would Be Afraid of the Munsey Building.

You read in the papers of the killing of fifteen thousand
people by the eruption of volcano in Java
~ You wonder why people live next volcanoes.
you took the trouble to look it up, you would find
that Java about the of the State of New York. and
that there three times many people there the
census taker would find in the Empire State.
This despite the fact that there 125 volcanoes there
and fourteen of them are still alive and spouting.
If you should bring Javanese to Washington and offer
him frscass job at the top of the Munsey Building he
would rembe with fear before the elevator got the fifth
floor and jump out if it stopped at the tenth
he would say II am not afraid Of volcanoes God

Familiarity breeds contempt Despite the fact that the
number of people killed in vehicles street cars
and automobiles yearly in the city of New York about

religions when he worships he puts knee upon the
ground That that he bows to the powers of the
earth BE raises one hand toward the heavens and that
that he reaches forth for whatever may be above him

that he is volcano proof.

Never before has Decoration Day had SO broad slgnln
canoe Never have the soldier dead of America rested in
fields so widely separated.
But thought knows no geography. Love knows no
seas Appreciation has no confines Of latitude longitude
In addition to the flowers that scatter on the resting
places of those home besow most loving thoughts
and most grateful memories upon those boys who lie sleep
ing under the peoples of France in the fields OF Russia or
under the waves of the Atlantic.
They would not have Us They gave their lives
without regret They did go with faltering steps to
keep their rendezvous with death They ask for thoughts
not tears
Let u.s. therefore give part Of the day to seeking how
we may best repay them for their sacrifice how we may
make most certain the endurance of the principles for which
they fought how completely live for them the lives
they would have lived in purpose and resolve.
By doing that we will best demonstrate our affection
for the dead and do our duty for the living.

The TwO-Cent Transfer
By EARL GOODWIN.

Probably more unpopular order could be given by
the Public Utilities Commission than the two-cent transfer
dictum and yet what other PRACTICAL solution of the
difficulty could be fOund'
The carrding public resents it. the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company is not satisfied and the Capital
Traction Company did not need it.
The Public Utilities Commission had hard job Pos
sbly 1t was the hardest job it had will have
1t asked to provide 100000 income for the W.
and E. which declared it couldn't exist the present rate
of fare and the universal transfers.
In hemeantime the carding public, satisfied to pay
nickel if the service worth paying for reoiced in the
universal transfer order On the other hand the cry for
better service continued and the W. R. and E. alleged
that unless it received money it would have to dis
continue of its lines go into the hands of receiver
One of the proposals to establish fare which
would have put the entire burden of the increased income
the suburbante That would have been unfair and
pointed out in this column, would retard the proper
development of the suburbs which would be calamity
The Public Utilities Commission could have refused to
grant any increase and may be the W. R. and E. would
have gone into the hands of receiver The fare would
have remained the same but there every to be-
eve that in the courts this road would not give any
kind of service at all The Public Utilities Commission has
been actuated by single motive namely to give SERVICE
to the people.
MS rerettable that we can have perfect car service
for nickel but the practical situation to be that
CANNOT, so we must make the best of it.
If there hadn't been much ambition the part Of
the company ago. perhaps today there wouldn't be
this problem on hands.
But we have a system that has certain definite
problems certain definite fixed charges We MUST keep
that car system going WALK.
1 am sorry can't keep it going for a nickel ride
but it is apparent that cannot.
All ask is that the Public Utilities Commission keep
its combined eyes this matter and if there

A young soldier has written me
a pretty bitter letter regarding
. treatment of this sort at the
hands of a girl to whom he was
engaged. She continued to write
him deeply affectionate letters,
even after she had married some
one else. and she neglected wholly
to tell him of her marriage. The
boy returned home, expecting to
marry her almost Immediately. He
went to her home only to discover
her a married woman. She wrote
him an abject letter, after a pretty
stormy scene. saving she had been
too terrified to write to him be-
fore. The Young man enclosed her
letter to me with the remark: Il
