almost daily the fact that veterans of the war are becoming criminals be- cause they have come back to their own to find not only lack of interest but, in many cases, absolute indifference by their own. I meant not their kin, but the big family of Americans for whom they fought and bIed.
 Recently one of my friends, an preached by a beggar while walking in Thirty-fourth street The former army officer noticed that the beg gars trousers were torn at the knees was torn. My friend noticed that the young man wore service button ana, upon questioning him. learned that he had been at the front for two years, had been twice wounded, had contracted tuberculosis while over seas, was about to undergo a second operation on one eye and on return ing to this country after having been West because he could not stand the New York climate. There he worked at odd jobs until finally he was left stranded and returned East think ing he could collect the pay which was still due him from the Govern ment and which had been held back through red tape.
 Service Man In Want.
 He was not only unable to collect the money promised him through an indefinite length of time, but he was unable to find employment of any kind because of his weakened phys ical condition, and when my friend met him he had not even the price of a meal.

BEAUTY CHATS

MENTAL BEATTY.

MENTAL BEAUTY.
 While you are spending your time improving your physical beauty, you should not neglect one very impor- tAnt phase of beauty treatments- that IS the mental Improvement.
 Very little is written about it. We are all attracted by dazzling complex ions and sparkling eyes and we are not always so quick to see the in ward beauty that may lie behind a Wrlnkied lace, pug nose a sal low skin. So little is written about the value of this inward beauty that many sensible people look down upon beauty culture as an occupation only Tt for the empty-minded and the frivolous women.
 Mental beauty is enormously i'm portant. but it is much harder to teach and much harder to follow. It IS something that every woman must acquire for herself. Of course my own attitude toward the whole sub Ject is one of compromise. do not believe that mental beauty is the whole thing and do not believe that physical perfection alone is really beautiful if there are no mental or spiritual qualities to match But l do believe that every mo- nent woman spends in honestly moment of mental and spiritual, as well as physical benefit She is try Ing to increase the beauty of the world when she trys to improve her
 
 | But, nevertheless, she should not ! neglect her mind for her complex l ion- While honestly trying to do ] everything to cultivate her appear- tance, she should aIso keep trying to cultivate her mind, to feed it beauti- ful tnoughts by good reading while she is improving herself in other 1 ways.

Moran undoubtedly played foul-of that I have long been aware. I be- lieve that on the day of the murder Adair had discovered that Moran was cheating. Very likely he had spoken to him privately, and had threatened to expose him unless he voluntarily resigned his membership of the club and promised not to play cards again. It is unlikely that a youngSter like Adair would at once make a hideous scandal by exposing weH-known man so much older than himself Probably ne acted as I suggest The exclusion from his clubs would mean ruin to Moran, who lived by his ill., gotten card gains He therefore mur- dered Ada.ir, who at that time was endeavoring to work out how much money he should himself return, since he could not profit by his partners foul play. He locked the door lest the ladies should surprise him and .r,- with these names and coins- Will it pass?"

A HEALTH TALK

Oh, how the women diSported themselves at the Atlas Baths last Friday. There were women of all classes seeking health, beauty, exer- else and reduction of flesh; women from the homes, from the offices and from the theatre.
 No such thing as the Atlas Baths has pleased the women of Bridgeport so much as the newly ren ovated baths on Fairfield avenue.
 With club privileges and offer of swimming lessons, with the corps of women rubbers at their disposal and the luxury of the heat, the steam and the water baths at their comma nd the Atlas Baths is gaining a popular ity it never had before.

that is one thing that I shall not

ever love. i would appreciate 1t
very much II you would tell me
what to do" writes Bertha.
My dear, I advise you to stop
living on cream puffs and try a
slice of roast beef. Does 1t sound
callous and scornful? 1t isn't. It's
Just another way Of telling you to
wake up and look at facts.
Why do you think your mother
would force you to leave your po-
sition II she knew about this man?
Isn't II because you know her in
stinct is to protect you from evil?
Aren't you perfectly well aware of
that fact that her one desire Is
to see your future taken care Of?
You know deep in your heart that
no good can come Of this thing you
call q 'love affair"
Any man who has q wife and
child and who takes advantage of
the fact that q young girl Ia working
for him to satisfy his cheap emotions
with that girl is treating her as II
she were a very low creature. He
doesn't think she's good and fas-
tidious and the sort he'd marry II
ne were free.
.. When an unhappily married man
fails honestly in love. he goes about
winning the woman he adores far
differently from this. He does not
let her risk shame and disgrace and
unhappiness. He protects her.
II all comes down to this. When
a mans love has nothing of the
protective in II, It isn't love. When
q read man cares for a woman his
normal instinct is to guard and de-
fend her-even from himself.

bit Of FUN" on the side with the
"silly youngsters" who come to work
for them, mean nothing Of good. And
because the girls are more than half
aware Of this they are very careful

what manner of man is being per-
mitted the easy love-making which
satisfied him for the time-or until
another girl comes along to stimu-
late his weak nature.
