Here's a Thriller in Real Life
We Would Like to Hear What Our Women Readers
Say About This Strange Case.

You very likely will say Nothing like this could hap

Mrs Mabel Parsons learning of the infatuaon of her
husband for Mrs Devgge the latter to her fiat
to face her husband and herself
With tears streaming down her cheeks she said to the
man, II want you to choose between u.s.
Then said the husband ''Iu take Thelma" (Mrs Devg

Mrs. Parsons asked for few minutes in private with
her husband and the other stepped outside the
wife swallowed the contents of q bottle.
Come back, Thelma" " the husband called "Mabel has
taken poison"
The other woman rushed back and administered anti

hospital
The physician there informed them that only chance

sons volunteered to give and gave pint of blood to flow
IN the veins Of the woman he had cast aside
strange meodrama that gives rise to many questions
Should the wife have given him his choice or should
he have accepted her invitation to take it?
What the psychology that led the wife to put her
husband to the test of choosing?
Did she expect him to choose the other woman and
II not why had she supplied herself with the poison?
Did the other woman bring any poison with her?
If he had chosen his wife and the other woman had
taken poison would he have made the sacrifice for her that
he made for his wife?
Was 1t love was it pity what that led the
husband to give his blood to the he had Just cast

A College President Offers Aid

central aeronautca development plant which shall combine
In one institution the laboratory, experimental work. the
ground training of pilots and the actual flying work of both

President Kney cites the fact that the University of
illinois equipped with everything needful except lab
oratoy building and that it is next door Chanute Field
one Of the best flying fields in the country.
he points out that the Government can establish a
complete experimental station and flying school more cheap
at Urbana Ill., than anywhere in the country and that
can get to work without the delays which would be
sary at almost any other location.
1t is patiently necessary that the Government do
thing and at once to establish and maintain an efficient
national air service.
With the possibilities of trouble with Mexico imminent
it is reported that the Mexican government has more fight
ing planes and fighting pilots Immediately available
than has this great country fighting should begin on

Such condition is dsgraceful it is dangerous
President Knley's letter should have the immediate
attention OF the Congressman whom he has addressed His
claims for the University of Illinois should be examined by
board Of experts and if his institution offers all the ad
vantaes which he claims his tender to the Government
should have early acceptance.
Certainly the work he outlines should be done some

my experience the people of WASH
ington are very hard to become
acquainted with, providing you de-
pend upon the proper formality of
an introduction, but of course If you
care to fiirt occasionally there Is
no reason why you should not have
very wide acquaintance. This pro-
cedure is, in my estimation, q very
unlady-like and ungentlemanly way
OF increasing ones list Of friends.
You also have very clearly an
swered "Hazers" letter in regard to
the boys that like outdoor life and
more or less in accord with ''Hazel's"
idea OF a pleasant time. I, for one,
enjoy athletics OF all sorts and
travel continually with a couple Of
other young men who have the
same idea of good time as ]. Now
that the weather is pleasant for
walking, after supper, we, without
giving the fair sex much thought
take a stroll for an hour or so, per.
haps stop in and roll a game or two
Of duckpins and consider II a very
pleasant evening spent. Enjoy a nice
dance once in a while, but have lost
out on that score, for service on one
of Uncle SAINTS destroyers will not
permit q IelIOw TO keep up Win tne
latest steps in the present-day
dances.
Hazel" Is the kind OF a girl
that all young men admire deep
down in their hearts. The frivo-
lous girl, perhaps, appeals to some
for a while, but keep your weather
eye open and see how long the
courtships last, also what happens
in the long run. Why, the frivo-
lous ones are entirely out OF the
running in the marriage market!
I hope that sometime in the fu-
ture I will have the pleasure Of
Hazel" for she is the type Of q
girl / have pictured as my ideal.
This, perhaps, sounds inconsistent
on my part, and as though I were
trying to carry on a Irritation
through the medium of you and
your department. That Is not the
case. 1 simply could not help writ

Beatrice Fairfax Writes of the Problems
Especially y For Washington Women

THE other day a girl, who
signed herself Hazel, voiced
plea for men who enjoy
the great outdoors better than
spooning IN dark corners. She
seemed to think she was all out of
tune with the world because she
had not found this sort of man.
II / remember rightly I told her
there were plenty of men in Wash
ington who love long walks and
sturdy hikes through the woods,
only they can't find girls who will
put on stout shoes, forsake tho
movies and go with them.
Now everyone likes to be proven
correct, and | am no exception to
that very human rule. How /
wish Hazel could have been look
ing over my shoulder the last few
days. How | wish she could have
seen the stack Of letters from
young men who reached out to
her like drowning men catching
at a straw. For Hazel's benefit
and for the benefit Of the many
girls who ask over and over again:
what kind of a girl do men
ike?" l am going to print few
of these very interesting and en-
tightening letters.
Here's a Man Who Despaired
OF Ever Finding q Girl Like Hazel
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been reading your COL
umns for some time and was espe-
cially interested in the one entitled:
Here's a Different Kind of a Girl"
and signed Hazel" Ny hat is off
to Hazel, whoever she may be. and
also to you for your most wonder
full answer to her query. The
"dress up girls you referred to
are certainly to much in evidence.
My friends say / am cynical, but the
fact is that L did not believe there
existed girl of HazePs type.
may not be even "passably good
looking" or one Of those best young
men," but as regards to feeling
more at home at my work or on a
hike and liking and playing any and
all athletic games, / believe I fill
the bill. l hope / may some day
meet Hazel or a girl Of her general
character. as 1t appears to me from
her letter. AN ILLIEOISAN.
