Laying Gkosts-1.
ny DOROTHY DIX
worries highest Paid Woman Writes.

Laying GEOStS7l.
A man writes me that altho he has
been happily married for twenty five
years to a most estimable woman to
whom he is devoted, he is tormented
by longing to see once again his first
love.
1t has been more than a quarter of
a century since he parted from the
sweetheart of his boyhood, and in all
that time he has never beheld her, or
held any communication with her.
He doesn't know whether she is mar
ried or single, or where she lives. he
only knows that she lives enshflned IN
the inner sanctuary of his heart, and
that she is eternally Turing him to
come back to her. And he feels this
is disloyalty 20 his wife, and he doesn't
know what to do abouFit because the
older he gets the stronger becomes
the urge. of this youthful passion.
This man thinks his case peculiar7
but it is an experience common to
humanity. Probably there isn't a
middle aged man or woman in the
world who hasn't some such romance
laid away n the lavender of memory
Always it is our early loves, our first
loves, that embody for US romance,
and all the beauty and the thrills that
go with youth, and as we get farther
and farther along the prosaic road OF
every day life. this ideal of our boy-
hood and girlhood becomes more and
more beautiful and alluring.
The girl that a man marries grows
old, and thin and scrawny, or fat and
Waddly. Her hair gets grizzled. Her
face is lined with wrinkles. Her con-
versation mostly runs to the high cost
of living, and problems about the
children. She may work her fingers
to the bone to make her husband
comfortable. but she makes no pre-
tense of considering him a dream hero
and she is more apt to ask him when
he comes home of an evening if he
remembered to bring the steak for
dinner than she is to demand whether
he still loves her unalterably and for
ever.
The woman a man marries has pc
culiarities that rub the bloom off ro-
nance. She has temper and nerves
that even the boldest husband finds is
best to side-step. she has disagree
able relatives that will come and visit
ing with a mans faults, and weak
band of even the thriftiest wife that
marriage is just one darn bill after
another.
1t is the inevitable disillusione of
matrimony that makes the ideal of
our first love retain us enchaHtnent.
For the years never touch a mans
first sweetheart. She always stays
sweet and twenty. Her figure is al
ways 1.-THE and slim. Her hair never
loses its Iuster, nor her cheeks their
rd#es. She is always a creature of
moonlight and thrills. babbling of ce-
lestiaI things. ~

The old town doesn't get the Metro
politan Grand Opera company. OF
course. but it has its Iook-in on grand
opera thru various travelling COM
panies every year. Every season It
hears one or more of the big sym
phony orchestras. At one three DAY
fe5tival of music. now some years 10
the windward, two great orchestras
and five great soloists. including Nor
dica and De Reszke, then at the zen
it'll of their power and fame, appeared
on the program. IN eighteen years
in the old town We heard Sembrich,
Homer, De Reszke. Nordica, Melba.
Calve, Gluck, Galli-Curci. Eames.
Paderewski. Kreisier. zimbaiist. Maud
Bowel, Bloomfeld-Z eisler, McEor-
mack. Elman and practically every
other great performer who has ap-
peared in concert. The list is inter
minable. Some of them we heard
time and again. Every great military
band in the world that has been on
tour in this country has appeared in
the old town. OF the actors, Otis
Skinner, Mrs. Fiske and John Drew
possibly were the favorites. Their
coming meant crowded house.
Maude Adams was always forced to
commodate all those who wished to
see her. and Roy Crawford could find
comfortable places for 1,70e persons
in his theater. A musical comedy
might or might not play to profitable
business; but Sothern and MarloWe
and Williams and Walker always
stood them up. When Mrs. Pat Camp
bell played "The Second Mrs. Tan
queray'' they mobbed the box office.
Bernhard played to 3,4e0 in a barn.
In proportion, to the number in
volved more people dress for the the
alter in the old. town than do so in
Philadelphia or New York. At the
first dancing party to which We were
invited in Philadelphia we appeared
in the usual accouterments, plus white
gloves. When we reached the dane
ing floor we were amazed and humil-
lated to discover that we were the
only gent present wearing white
gloves. So we sneaked back TO the
dressing room and skinned them off.
We might have appeared at a dane
ing party in the old town wearing tan
shoes To an absent-minded man
anything is possible. But we never
would have appeared without gloves.
That is unthinkable- Once, years ago.
Adelaide went to Muskogee to visit
friends. 1t was before the old Indian
country was Joined to Oklahoma in
statehood. So far as the map re-
vealed its secrets. Muskogee was a
frontier village bordered by three In
dian tribes. So Adelaide went to Mus
kogee prepared to rough it and view
life in the wild and in the raw. The
second day after she had gone there
came an urgent wire for all the add
tional scenery of which she was at
that time possessed. When she came
back she said: 'T have never seen
such beautiful entertaining. There

kogee than there are in New York.
And that is a sort OF flashlisht on
the section of the country which feels
that the east views it with condescen-
sion. There may be nothing in such
feeling, but it largely is responsible
for the resentment the west has fer
the east.

Various successful arguments and
expedients," say the American Econ
onist. ''have SO far been successful IN
causing the postppnement of the en-
actment of an adequately protective
tariff. from time to time. Whatever
the cause, so long as there is a post
ponement. the ends of free traders
are served, the enemies of protection
succeed" The party which stands for
a protective tariff is in control of both
houses Of congress and the executive
office. There is nothing to prevent
it from passing any sort of tariff law
at any time. Not much of a search
would be necessary to find the cause
Of delay. The party leaders simply
are afraid of the consequences of en-
acting a high tariff law. They have
tried it before and remember what
happened to the party. Nobody is
demanding tariff laws except repre-
sentatives of few special interests.
The emergency tariff was not enacted
in response to any popular demand.
Ut was enacted in an effort to make
he farmer believe that his interests
hwcre being safeguarded. Since that
law was passed the prices of farm
products have steadily declined.

The War Finance corporation, ap-
parently under the guise of aiding the
farmer, really is doing as much for
the banks as for the agriculturist.
The corporation announces the fol-
lowing advances on agricultural and
livestock loans: to three banks in
Iowa, $4,000, $4,000 and $4,000, re-
speotiVoly; TO a bank in North Caro-
lima, 100000; to a bank in South
Carolina, 100000; to three banks in
South Dakota, 100000. $4,000 and
$4,000. respectively; to a financial
institution IN New York financing a
group of farmers, $500. 600; to a bank
in North Dakota, 1000; to a bank
in Virginia, $4,000; to two banks in
Nebraska, S9.775 and $500, re-
spectively; to a Kansas-bank, $4,000;
to a North Carolina exporter Of to-
baceo, $4,000; to a bank in Montana
financing livestock, $4,000; to a bank
in Texas financing livestock. SIS,
This money is furnished to the banks
at 6 per cent and they are permitted
to charge the farmer up to per cent
This may be good for the farmer but
it certainly is a fine thing for the
banks. They take no risks.

pearls of this sort were mounted an
a mother of pearl base and used in
rings and other jewelry.
This sort of pearl coating has been
done for centuries by the Chinese with
tiny images. Little metal Buddhas
are placed in the oyster shell to be
covered over with a pearly coating.
But Mikimoto was not satisfied
until he had produced around, perfect
pearls in quantities on his farm. Since
then, the Industry has steadily grown
and to date not even the pronounce
ment of the European gem dealers
against the cultured pearl has caused
Mr.. Mikimoto to discharge any of his
oyster farm hands.

Congress viii reeonvene next week
and resume its business of grinding
cut laws and probably will continue
in session until late next summer.
Making laws has come to be one of
the chief industries of this country.
1t has been estimated that the forty
eight states and congress together are
responsible for more than 10000 laws
annually, and this probably is a con-
sentative estimate. Those who pass
these laws seldom are certain as to
their meaning. Courts are disagreed
as to their intent and purpose. Law
yefs are confused in their interpre-
tatfon. 1t is remarkable how we are
protected from one another by multi
tudinous and intricate statutes, and It
is a miracle that the ayerags citizen
manages to avoid litigation. and. by
some hook or crook, keep within the
law. Either the people themselves or
their duly elected representatives in
the state legislatures ana congress
have shown an unusual willingness in
recent years to interfere With the
rights and liberties of the people. Not
only is this true, but we are confront
ed With another problem. which is
that OF combating the tendency of
certain groups, representing only a
small fraction OF the people. to i'm
pose their narrowed poiicics upon the
majority. This tendency has been I'M

congress. In the various states it is
disclosed in the policy of controlling
political groups to penalize other
classes and groups who find them

every human action from the cradle

by a campaign for the re-establish-
