livery day we hear OF the advo-
cacy In various States OF a re-
turn 10 the old blue laws-to
bring back in a strict sense the blue
laws as they were conducted in years
gone by.
The general proposition is to pro-
hibit any one from spending Sunday
in any other but a so-called religious
manner, eliminating all recreation
and Sunday relaxation
AS a wise soul has said: Some
body always wants to take tho sun
out OF Sunday
As is generally believed, It Is very
unlikely that such statutes viii be
enacted in any State, in accordance
with present-day life
Yet there Is something 10 be said
about the everyday blue laws, the
laws that are made by society every
day-laws that seem more unbrealI- -
able than the flaws OF the Medes and
Persians''-the present attitudes that
mitigate against mankind
These are the blue laws OF life.
They are enforced numerically every
day. You can see them, hear them,
feel theHn-an the time. Such laws
are most unjust and should be elm
mated. even more than the Sunday
blue laws.
There is the well known case OF the
girl who errs, VINO makes q mistake,
but who has forever to bear rbdicuie
and cold shoulders" She is made
TO suffer, while the man in the case
goes scot free.
There Is the little innocent child
who Is branded with the term I'll
legitimate" How ] wish this word
could be stricken out everywhere In
connection with him How l wish
there were a law that would make
a person guilty Of misdemeanor who
calls a child "Alegitimate."
The parents may be ulegitimate
Punish them II you will. But by al
that Is good, why put such a brand
on a little innocent human being for
which It must suffer nearly all Its
life?
The man who deserts his wife and
children-there Is very little law
that will surely bring him back and
mako him anEwerable for such q
crime. I would like to see him court
martialled, not unlike a soldier who
deserts his army
There is the girl who is brought
before a Magistrate by a policeman
because she has spoken TO or ac-
costed a man on the street The
man in the case is never arTaigned

quiet, polite people" Mrs. Jarr went
on. Don't you remember how cour-
teouS that japanese roll ball man
was when we spent two dollars with
him at Atlantic City and won a cup
and saucer2 He told us we could roll
the balls as long as We wanted to-"
MA ybe the Japanese are so polite
because there are no swear words
in their language" suggested Mr..
Jarr. And maybe there are no
swear words in their language be-
cause in the JAPANESE home the huS-
band is absolute master. When
friends call, the Japanese wife Is not
expected to present herself except
TO humbly bow and say. The hon
oraible tea Is served. 4"
Il don't believe it!" said Mrs. Ja1r.
II have seen Japanese women and
they dress iust like American women,
30 they must act like them even In
their own country. But II tiny are

Then II you were going 20 live IN

The swivel chair swung around sew

mine frankly with:

'SThen you don't believe In q woman

1T all depends upon tho woman"
replied Miss Houston. Personally /
think would want at least two years
To enjoy my home and new life. At
for my old business life.
There are really Just two types
f women IN the world" resumed
Miss Houston, those who like 20 do
housework and those who do not. OF
course the latter type should 20

but the woman who loves q pretty
home, loves 10 cook and sow, ought
10 at least have her all of It when
she Is first married.
Since ! am 10 travel" continued
Miss Houston, "and probably will
not have the usual home ties I shall

In fact" and here Miss Houston
hlushed as all prospective brides do
when mentioning their fianoe's name,

And then" added Miss Houston.
Il don't want 10 become 30 common

And OF course Mss Houston'a

go right on being doctors, lawyers,
merchants, chiehsl
But 20 Miss Alice Houston, who
started TO work as a Btonographer
five years ago and to-day draws q
salary in five figures as n Wall Street
secretary. the great choice has
come. Love has entered her busy
life and said: "Pack up your trunk
and come with me. cannot stay In
New York Your business career
must end. Come, win you give It up
and ny with me7"
And Miss Houston has actually
said 'Yesl"
Last summer had the pleasure of
interviewing Miss Houston at her
downtown ohice. Because she is one
OF tho highest paid women in wall
Street and the secretary OF a large
financial Advertising agency at No. 7
Hanover street, sought her out 70
give a few pointers to the young
stenographer who Is looking for big
ger things.
Then II was that this enterprising
young woman told me of her first
position in her homo town In Kansas
just Ave years ago. her desire to come
to Now York, her first position in this
city and finally her rise from SIS per
to that mans job with a mans salary.
As l was about to leave Miss HouB-
ton she told me that she was going TO
take a six weeks vacation and 20 TO
Europe for the hrst time. And 1t was
on this trip while sailing over the
merry waves that Cupid appeared.
Picking up n newspaper just the
other day | read: THE engagement
has been announced of Miss Alice
Houston OF New York and Mario l..
Luigi OF London and Rome. The
wedding will take place in June"
SO once more / journeyed to the
office OF Miss Houston,
Miss Houston's blond head was
bent over her work. but when she
looked up to greet mo there was a
dtmple in each cheek and her eyes
sparkled and danced as brightly and
frequently as tho solitaire upon her
third finger.
"Of course you are going right on
with your business careor," ! chal-
lenged, after the first congratulations.
Pm not interested In business any

''I8ut surely you're not going TO give
all this up?" I said, waving my hand
to her big rolltop desk and all that Il
meant.
"TIst Is just exactly what am
going to do" Deamed Miss Houston.

The boy Prince OF Nippon has been
described as being characterized BY

Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
last week. There had been misun-

for this year. The contract had been
signed by guarantors who signed
only as members OF the churches in
town. They were not bound by the
provisions of the contract, as the
contract was to he later ratified by
the churches and the chautauqua
people at Washington. This was
never done so the chautauqua came
somewhat as n surprise, and the pro-

was given, and the work done, by
the director and his assistants. The

When you see man who does
not appreciate the value of hav.
ing good credit. you can put it
down that he is not worthy of
credit, or in other words he is not
prompt and jealous about meet
ing his obligations. 1t is not the
amount of capital one has that
gives him credit, but the way he
meets his obligations. Good cred
it is valuable asset to anyone,
but person should not abuse it,
should not obtain credit when he
does not need it. The man who
is entitled to credit is the man
whose word is as good as his bond.
He does not need to give security
to meet any indebtedness, though
he is always willing to give am
pie security for anything he owes.
The man who is not willing and
does not like to give security is
the one who should be required
to give it. The way man treats
his credit or meets his financial
obligations (or other obligations,
for that matter) is an indication
of his character and how well his
word can be relied on. A man
who is proud of his credit is proud
of his character, and does every
thing possible to preserve and up
hold it--not simply because of
policy, but from a standpoint Of
principle. Newton Record.
