WHICH KIND
OF A GIRL?
by Beatrice Fairfax
Who holds . unique position as q
writer on the problems Of
love and marriage.

- q
writer on the problems OF
love and marriage.
EEYvE been reading so much
about vamps and Jazz babies
and old-fashioned girls and the
various types which flourish to-
day that my heads in a whirl."
writes James c. v. do you
know I'm not sure which type Of
girl I really like. see some
thing In the tricks of the vamp
and something In the amusement
offered by the jazz baby and
something in the comfort and ease
an old-fashioned home girl might
offer. But IL / were to marry to-
morrow wouldn't know which to
choose.
II were a man I wonder II I
wouldn't want the same things
which, being a woman, strike me
~ the essentials OF happiness?
Seems to me that this distinction
between man and woman is a little
over-stressed. We're all human
beings with the same longings and
aspirations and needs. And when
We stop specializing and laying so
much stress on male and female. 1
think, we'll come a bit nearer the
truth.
So II were a man I'm prepared
to say with some authority and in
sistence I'd want a companion with
whom found inspiration and peace
and the Joy of living.
I'd realize that thrills are-thrill-
ing, all right, but that they don't
last and that life would be a hectic
thing II they did and very little
business would get accomplished.
The impulse to build can't be ig-
nored for the desire to WOO.
II were q man I'd try to under
stand the fundamentals Of my own
nature. And having arrived at an
honest estimate of myself, I'd square
my ambitions and nature and de-
sires with the folks I met.
Men must want partners, Qpm-
panions, gentle women who give
love and who have yet the strength
to offer inspiration and understand
ing. Men want to find their best
selves stimulated, their powers
called upon for achievement, their
faith and loyalty called into being.
The lure of the senses may be-
fuddle youth for the moment now
and then. But the mind and the
spirit revolt against giving them
selves over completely to the physi-
cal.
Men want women who give their
womanly best and call out the best
that men have to offer. They want
ldve--and that Is made of mind and
spirit-not flesh alone.

pressed by the note of bitterness In
her voice, for all it's quietness.
What did succeed in impressing
him. however. was the weariness Of
the white face, heavy about the
eyes and mouth, the istlessness
that had imposed itself upon the
once ardent and child-like contours.
You weren't always so consid-
crate Of my feelings" he retorted
steeling his heart against her pose
Of unprotesting world-weariness.
What do you mean by that?"
she almost triumphantly challenged,
glad. apparently, to find a prolonged
and benumbing constraint breaking
out at last into clarifying storm
Of words.
Il mean that a telegram was de-
livered here three days ago, and
I never got 1t. A message for mel"
She looked up at him steadily.
You were much too drunk to
do anything when that wire came.

It," she quietly explained.
But that message was for me-"
he reiterated.
Nobody's keeping II from you"

He began to see how. foolish and

from her with movement that
was both angry and siisn,issive.
But she still stood before him, with
what he accepted as o mere pretense
of timidity.
After all, 1t was me you married.
said Torrie in a voice thin with
misery. Her moods, he decided,
were beyond him. They were in
comprehensive in their capricious-
ness, q mixture Of steel and rose
leaves, a confusion Of ice and flame.
Yes, II was you / married" he
slowly repeated, beholding the point
Of that scornful reiteration pierce
like a sabre into the softness Of her
body, as he had intended that It
should. Yet there was no touch of
Joy to his triumph.
He had looked for another out
burst from her at that, noisy
fusillade OF anger that would have
eased his soul Of its rancour, that
would have purged from his mind
the accommodating miserees which
seemed without an honest and ade-
quate outlet. But she suddenly i'm
pressed him as pitiful before the
crude fail of his scorn.

JOE JACKSON GIVES
HUMOROUS RECITAL.

Chicago, July 25.-Ed Cicotte, Joe
Jackson and Claude Williams, former
baseball players told their own story
in the baseball trial, today how they
confessed to a special grand jury last
fall that they had received money to
throw games in the 1919 series.
Each of the three men declared
today this confession had been made
only after Chas. A. Mcdonald who
ordered the investigation, Hartly
Reploge former assistant state attor-
ney, who directed the inquiry and AL
fred Austrian, attorney, had promised
them their confessions would never
be used against them and were want
ed only that the gamblers might be
trampled under foot.
Their testimony was given with
the jury absent pending Judge Hugo
Friends decision as to whether it
should be submitted to the jury. The
defense maintained the confessions
were involuntary.
Cicotte and Jackson admitted they
had "signed something" in the grand
jury room but did not know whether
it was an immunity waiver.
! Cicotte said he had broken down
and cried while Judge Mcdonald
heard his story and much he did was
a hazy memory.
To many questions he replied.
"I don't remember
| Jackson's testimony kept the court
in an uproar when he told of repeat
ed sprees at about the time of the in
vestigation and said he got two court
bailiffs drunk.
Jackson told of his visit to Aus
TRANS Office.
Austrian said I would be indicted
in a few minutes and said Cfeotte
had been down. Austrian then gave
me my notice of suspension, when
said I had no lawyer he said I needed
one damn bad.
Austrian had told me they weren't
after the players but wanted to tram
pie the gamblers under their feet"
did Austrian tell you Cicotte had
been let OFF," Shortt, attorney for the
defense asked.
Eyes, He said that after confessine
nothing would be done with me and
could go anywhere-the Portugest
Islands if I wanted to. Then the.
sent two bailiffs with me when I lef
to protect me and the bailiffs and
went out and got good and drunk.
Austrian finally persuaded me tt
talk and on the way to the jury room
Reploge promised to take care o
Cicotte and would do the same t.
me-"
