silversand Lake, My Birthday.

I'll celebrate the day OF girl can
call it celebrating when she is 81
years oldD by writing you, dearest
Joan, in response to your frantic ap-
peal just received. Honey, ! hadn't
realized how long It has been since /
wrote you about Tom Benedict and 1,
and that moonlight walk by the lake.
It Is true that we neglect those we love
best-probably because we feel they
will understand and forgive. You will
forgive, know, Joanie, when / tell
you that something has happened.
Something melodramatic, IL not ac-
tually tragic. But let me go back to
the beginning.
After wrote you last, things went
beautifully. Tom is a capital actor.
He behaved evactly as though / wers
the One Woman on Earth for him
And did my best % be a good lead
ing lady.
Which was easy, for Tom is a real
man, Joan, and enjoy every moment
with him.
1t had its effect on Anita Corley and
Capt. Wallis, Just as l knew 1t would.
What do you find interesting in
that fellow?" he asked one late after
noon when he had almost snatched me
from Tom and insisted on walking me
up the sunset trail"
His sincerity" / answered quick
ly.
That can mean almost anything. /"
1T means everything to woman -
"a man can like woman sincerely
and still be all sorts of an egotist. ali
sorts of a scoundrel even. Sincerity
isn't everything. Why, a man can't
always BE sincere. Life won't let
him"
TON Benedict can," l said simply.
We'll, then-so can |. BY Joye,
Dorothy, l am sincere! I'm going to
show you, not merely tell you, that |
am"
write you this, Joan, not for any
value the talk had in itself, but SOLE
ly to show you the unsuspecting gen
tleness of mind we both were in-the
calm that existed between us, when
the bomb-shell came.

QUEER OLD "MAGlC MIRROR
One in British Museum Known to Have
Been Used by Aztecs and
Ancient Mexicans.

Crystal gazing and the use OF magic
mirrors played an important part IN
religion and wizardry in the past, ana
though almost every nation had Its
own method these did not vary as
much as it would be supposed.
Thus while Japan had In her inner
temples mirrors which only the priest
saw, and which were always to reject
the good and the beautiful for the
gods, the ancient Mexicans taught
that their god Texcatlipuco had
magic mirror in which he saw every
thing that happened each day In the
world.
A real obsidian mirror with Its
strange textile string still attached Is
in the British museum now and was
used by the Aztecs and ancient Next
cans for various purposes and very
probably for crystal gazing. 1t Is
| much the same as the other crystals
used by so-called wizards" so far as
its shape is concerned. Even in recent
years crystal gazing has been prac-
ticed, and it is said by those who have
tried it that the mirror or crystal
seems to disappear into mist after 1t
has been stared at in complete silence
for a great length of time, and then
If ever-the visions appear.

CITIZENS TOBUCk|
SIx-CENT fare
Unified Action Expected to
Be Result of Reveral
Meetings.

War on the six-cent fare pro-
posAl was begun by three citizens
associations last night.
Men prominent In business and
civic affairs declared that no truce
would be granted to the companies,
Following tho issuance of inter-
company transfers.
A statement published yesterday
intimated that the six-cent fare
possibly would follow the estab-
lishment of the universal transfer
system.
No definite measures were planned
at the meeting of the Congress
Heights Improvement Association at
the Baptist Portable Building. Con-
gress Heights, last night, although
adverse discussion as to the six-cent
fare showed the feeling of several
members.
Suggestion to secure united action
or the citizens association was
made following a meeting of the
Ptney Branch Citizens Association,
ins Iowa Avenue Methodist Church,
last night. Anti-six-cent fare forces
also delivered several blows at the
proposal from the floor, but it was
decided to await definite action as
TO the request by the companies.
The Northeast Citizens Association,
at a meeting in the Northeast Temple,
Twelfth and II streets northeast.
went on record as faYoring more
equitable pay for public school teach
ers and for more efficient method OF
garbage collection and disposal.
