LITTLE TALKS BY
BEATRICE FAIRFAX

He has broken his parole given to
her. He has broken faith with the
kind judges who were lenient with
him for her sake. He has left her
and his child to starve. He has
tried to make a thief of his wife.
He has lied and lied again. His
Wife knows that the. story will prob
ably repeat itself to the end of time.
Only this time she stands to lose
the loyalty and support her parents
have given her through it all. She
stands to lose the position for which
she has striven. And there is q big
ger thing than either of these which
she sees hopelessly endangered.
That is her boys future.
AS the man of a woman who has
worked and striven, he will some
day come into his heritage of work
with the respect of the community
to cheer him on his way. AS the
son of a thief and convict what
must his future be?
The woman who writes me sees
all this, and yet she concludes her
letter with this paragraph:
please, please say a word to en-
courage me in my determination to
give my husband one more chance.
EVerYocn is against me, my own
feelir -. a mother are against
me. = I have to stick to the
man / ".harried. Something makes
me stand by him. And I wonder if
I won't still be standing by him
in six more years and in spite of
what he has done and will go on
doing. Do you think I'm weak :?
Do you think he fascinates me the
way a snake does a bird? It isn't
that It's Just that he's my hus-
band and my place is at his side.
Tell me You think so, too"
What would the clergyman who
condemns the modern woman say to
this heroine and the many like
her who write me each day? What
effect has she on his viewpoint?
To her, I say this:
Sister, you are brave and loyal.
Faith like yours has been known to
work miracles. Go on striving.
Give the man you love one more
chance. But make him see what
he is pulling down to destruction if
he falls again. Don't let him think
your sacrifice is slight thing.
Make him understand how you are
cutting yourself from parents and
friends to help him up again. Drive
into his consciousness that you are
risking your boys future for him.
And If he falls again, don't you
think then the time has come when
your highest duty is to the little
life you brought into this world? ?"
Give your husband one more
chance. Then give your boy his big
chance even if it means casting off
the father whose weakness would
drag his son down.

CHAPTER CCCIT

Neal carried Father Andrew off
to stay with him in his wee apart
ment. I didn't protest for two rea-
sons. either of which alone would
have sufficed. Phoebe had our only
spare room. And anyway, Neal
wanted his dad with him, and it is
the boys right to have this wish
gratified.
The fact that Father Andrew
isn't staying with me made me won
der just how I'd succeed in getting
talk alone with him. For a whole
day I saw him only in the family
group, and the certainty that there
was something queer-sinister even
about the trip to Canada, grew on
me.
On the second morning of his
stay, telegram came addressed to
Mr.. Andrew Highland, care of Mrs.
James II. Harrison" The fact that
Father Andrew had a telegram sent
to my apartment instead of to Neaps
made me more uneasy than ever.
/ waited till Jim had gone to the
bathroom to shave, then I called
Neal's apartment and told my young
brother that I was in a sentimental
mood and wanted to say good
morning to Father Andrew. After
I'd done this I scarcely underst ood
why I'd fibbed to Neal. For the
moment my subconscious mind had
taken the helm and had directed me
to act in way I'd never done de-
liberately.
Both Jim and Neal knew that
Father Andrew was expecting a
telegram. So why should I make
all this mystery about it?
Good morning, my Babbsie girl
came Father Andrews voice, with
its deep ring of affection. At the
mere sound of it I was reassured.
and l reported the arrival of the
telegram in q completely matter-of-
fact way. Then, greatly to my as
tonishment, Father Andrew took his
turn to be agitated:
you didn't open the message, did
you?" he asked nervously.
"Of course, not, dear" an
swered, and for the first time in my
life I felt hurt at the dear man who
was the realest father I've ever
known.
That's right-that's right. AS
soon as young Meals gone I'll be
over to call for it." was the next
astonishing bit of the queer mosaic
Father Andrew was constructing
under my eyes.
i've a better idea," I answered,
hoping 1 could make him show me
the pattern of that mosaic and show
it of his own accord. 'I'n get NV
car and bring the telegram to you.
Then If you like we might have a
drive. Why shouldn't a girl have
one cosy little heart-to-heart chat
with the dearest father on earth ?"
Why not?" echoed Father An
drew, with a queer blank note in
his voice. Then he added: Meals

THE modern girl is too selfish.
She expects enormous returns from
matrimony with scarcely any invest
ment on her part"
So says a young clergyman who
has sadly observed the mercenary
and calculating qualities that are
all too evident in many modern
women.
But it isn't fair to gaze exclusive
ly on one side of a subject, and
here's the other side presented by
a young woman who writes me pa
thetically and in great detail of
what marriage has brought her
and what she has brought to it
For six years she has shared the
fortunes" of a man whom she
married in ignorance of the fact
that he was a thief. Just before
their little boy came, the young
husband was arrested for burglary
and the wife's pleas won for him
a suspended sentence. These six
years have been one long series of
crimes on the mans part. He
swears to go straight" after each
crime, again commits the crime of
burglary, serves in prison and
comes out to go through the ugly
series again.
Six years of shame, degradation,
poverty and horror. Six years of
breaking up little homes and going
to her parents to share their pow
erty. And now the wife is a clerk
in a store. Out of her wages she
has made a little home. Her young
son is getting old enough to observe
and question. Old enough to be in
fiuenced.
The husband is coming out into
the world again after his third pris-
on sentence in these six years. He
has written to beg for another
chance. It will be the sixth "other
chance in these years
The woman fears for her boy.
She breads what the fathers influ-
ence may mean. Her parents tell
her that if she goes again and will
ingly into the degradation her mar
riage has come to mean they will
cast her off. She is making good in
her work and feels that through it
she can build up her child's future.
But the man she married is COM
ing out of prison and wants her to
come back to him.
Left to Starvo
In her soul this woman knows
that her husband will not reform.

This, I guessed. meant: Meal will
be out of the way in an hour. Don't
goodbye and turned from the phone,
struggling with a new element of
the puzzle I couldn't help making
out of Father Andrews trip.
Why should Father Andrew be at
such great pains to conceal his plans
from Neal? What connection could
there be between Neal and Father
Andrews trip to Canada? For, in
his concerns were woven into the
pattern of all that was puzzling me.
We'll, there's this to be said" I
:c:d myself an hour later as I drove
my little car up in front of the
apartment house where Neal had his

he isn't. And IL he isn't, might as

Advice to the Lovelorn
MARRY NEITHER
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am in love with two handsome
men. viz Joseph Lapari and Fer
nande Reale. and both of these men
have asked me for my hand in mar
riage. Now. being madly in love with
both of them. / am in doubt as to
which one would suit my taste. One
of the men is a first-class shoe re-
pairer in business for himself, while
Joe is furniture polisher by trade.
My. parents do not approve of either
of these two men, both being of a diff
ferent nationality than myself.
ROSEANN K.
Since you imagine yourself in love
with two men. you are unquestionably
in love with neither. The difference
in nationality never has and never
will seem to me an impossible bar
rier. But your own fickleness, plus
the difference in viewpoint that comes
from different environment and train
ing, make it seem best that you
marry neither of the men who have
partly infatuated you.

I According to Mr. Healy the two SER
seants have had six policemen in uni
form stationed in his restaurant every
night at /, o'clock to watch out for
violations of the liquor traffic law. One
man stood guard at the entrance pre-
venting persons from entering, Mr..
Healy said, and one man was stationed
on each floor in the centre of the dining
room Threatening the diners with arrest
IL they did not leave Mt once.
The complaint charged further that
the policemen had interfered with the
guests, taking off the tables wine which
they said was wanted as evidence.
On one occasion about a week ago,
Mr.. Healy said. Sergeant Duffy, when
Healy's manager demonstrated with him
for abusing patrons. said: IF you don't
like 1t l will put dozen more men
here"
Sometimes. II was said. the diners in
their haste to leave after being ordered
out by the officers, would go without pay
ing their checks or finishing the suppers
they were eating.

charges have been brought against
