The Transit Situation.
An Opportunity for Citizens to Do
Patriotic Service for the City.

To THE New York HERALD: desire
to take issue with you as to the pos
sibility of the bitter experience to
which you refer in speaking of the prac-
ticabiiity of municipal operation of the
city's transit lines. This bitter expert
ence, to my mind. arises from what
may be called financial sabotage. by
which the efforts of society In it's own
interest are brought to failure and
discredit
believe that a condition Is possible
and could be worked out whereunder
public utilities could be divorced from
greed and avarice by putting the man
agement in the hands OF individuals who
would employ themselves from civic
pride and patriotism instead of for un-
necessary pelf. I believe the very best
and most efficient talerN of the COM
munity could be secured for this purpose.
In other words. these services should
be religiously removed from exploita-
ton for the purpose of private fortune
making. e
New York never has had adequate
transportation service, and firmly be-
lieve that It never win have with pri-
vate management This Judgment has
behind Il an experience covering more
than a quarter of century In this city.
The great private ability I have OBJ
served has been In the interests OF
profits. but the rush hour problem all
ways has seemed to me very remote
from an adequate solution. I am con-
WINGED that upon profit basis 1t simply
cannot be solved.
1t Is my opinion that the transporta-
ton question can only be solved on the
same basis as elevator service Ia pro-
vided in our great skyscrapers-the cost
Of the service charged in the rentals Of
the whole community do not mean
by that free transportation. think
the rider could always be asked for and
would be willing to pay five cent

Rare Tapestries on View.

The Emile Pares collection now on
view in the Anderson Galleries is espe-
cially distinguished by a group of un-
usual tapestries. There are paintings by
old masters, decorative wall panels and
furniture, all of which have their in
terest. but 1t is likely that the attention
of connoisseurs will focus chiefly upon
the tapestries. These are from ancient
looms in France or Belgium and include
figure composition. verdure tapestries
and ornamental panels.
The most imposing of those hangings
is said to have been woven by the cele-
brated Willem Seghers OF Brussels IN
the second half OF the sixteenth century

scum. with an important parsonage In
the foreground, who Is presumed to be

enormous amount OF detail, all OF 1t,
however, balanced with the nice art for
which the great Flemish weavers were
noted. Another early Flemish hanging
shows group Of revealing peasants. and
the figures are drawn. spaced and col
ored with a fine and attractive freedom
There are also some tapestry panels
with formal garden motifs the designs
Of which are most quaint and the blues
Of which have preserved the freshness
of recent impressionistic painting.
Many fine old chairs In this collection
have tapestry cushions, and there are
others in needlework and old damasks
The commodes. work tables. screens,
chests. candlestands, bronzes and tables
that have been recruited from other
ages form a most harmonious whole.
There are enough large floral panels by

The mishap to the British airship
R-34 will recall to Americans the dis
quiet which was caused during her
visit to this country by several near
accidents which occurred on the avia-
ton field. On one occasion the great
bag was saved from disaster only by
the strenuous efforts OF scores of SOL
dlers. The very bulk of monster dir
igibles makes them tender. The crew
OF the R-34 were lucky to escape
unframed from their adventure over
the Channel.

sorts are far too needless and the
consequent loss of life and damage
to property are greater In the United
States than in any other civilized
country. More common sense and an
aroused conscience are the real rem

But what shall be said of the out
rageous firetrap in which this shock
ing occurrence took place? What
shall be said Of the public authorities
who tolerated its existence? How
many places of the same sort in or
about New York are only waiting
for the careless smoker to start a
new blaze with greater or less loss
Of human life?

THE GIRL AND THE MARRIED
MAN.

THE GIRL AND. THE MARRIED
MAN.
A young girl writes me that she
and a married man are in love with
each other. She says that their af-
fection is pure and idealistic. and
that she does not expect, or desire,
the man to forsake his wife and
marry her.
DO you think any harm can
come of such a beautiful lover" she
asks
DO you think any good can
come of it?" ! would ask her in re-
ply.
Leaving out Of the question the
wrong that a woman does her sis
| ter-woman when she encourages her
husband to be faithless to heH and
the irreparable injury she does to
the children whose father she taKes
away from them-for no man can
do his duty as a father and be a
philanderer at the same time-let US
consider the case of the girl alone.
What good does she get out of a
love affair with a married man?
She will say love. True. But she
gets the lees in the bottom of the
cup Of love, not the wine. The few
brief hours of rapture that she
knows in loving, and being loved, do
| not compensate her for the days
and weeks and months and years OF
black despair that are the inevita bl e
portion Of nursing a hopeless pas
sion.
Every young girl dreams Of love.
but she dreams Of II coming to her
as something that will crown her
life with Joy. something that will
have no regrets bound up with IL.
something of which she can boast
and be proud. And she expects this
love to flower into a wedding bell.
| The girl who falls in love with a
married man can never know the
clean happiness of love. Hers Is al.
ways the guilty passion. something
| furtive and to be hidden. Her ro-
nance does not wander down flow
cry paths. It sulks behind closed
! doors and at clandestine meetings
at shabby restaurants, and taking
| from every kiss it's sweetness. is the
| knowledge that one Is not playing
the game, that one is not sporting
that in the background there is a
helpless woman who Is being robbed
without being given a chance to de-
/ fend herself.
The woman who has a love affair
with a married man must perforce
endure such agonies OF jealousy as
are almost punishment enough for
| her folly and sin. She sees another
woman bear the name Of the man
she loves, and occupy the social
/ position that he gives her She
knows that the man who tells her
he loves her. would not ask her to
his house, introduce her to his
friends, or more than casually greet
her on the streets. She knows that
i while he tells her-that his wife
4 does not understand him, and that
he is tired of her. yet that they are
bound together by a thousand ties
Of mutual interest. and that just
because a woman is a mans wife.
