CHAPTER III.
lContinued from Last Sunday

C) 1922 by American
T TOLD last week of my first accidental vision of
Jessie Reed, the show girl, who happened to
have parlor car seat directly opposite mine in
a Boston Express train. With book of poems in
her hand and box of chocolates at her elbow this
exquisite vision of demure sanity innocence rveted
my eyes during the entire five hours of the railroad
trip to Boston.
And yet, so perfectly proper so careful was her
maldenly modesty that dared not even attempt to
lntrude upon her reserve by even much as faint
smile.
My heart told me that here at last, by great good
fortune had been permitted to behold one of the
sweetest girls which could be the good fortune of
man to meet Some way, argued to myself, there
must be for me to make the acquaintance of this
exquisite young creature who, had no doubt must
be the daughter of fashionable millionaire of
New York, Newport or Boston.
But need not have worried my silly head as to
the troublesome difficulties in maneuvering to make
the acquaintance of my angel of the Pullman car

William J. Bryan has slightly changed his attitude toward the "wets' and the wet movement" in the United States At the San Francisco convention, and before that, he contended that the wet movement was inspired and promoted by those who desired to participate in the profits that would come from a restoration of legalized wine and beer selling His statement was opposed at San Francisco by men who declared that the latest wet movement was a drinking mems movement" in which the thirsty were reinforced by those who believed that egaized beer and wine would cripple the market for hard liquor that bootlegging would become unproftable and a great deal of lawlessness would disappear In signed editorial in recent issue of The Commoner MT Bryan declared: "The vets have no politics they have simply thirst" That would seem to ind- cate that the great Commoner has abandoned idea that there is no wet" sentiment except commercial He has not. far as known, however recognized the existence of sentiment among thousands of people, including many who have had to do with enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment who have come to an honest conclusion that legazed light wines and beer would count against lawlessless and for temperance

Every woman likes to flirt little just to prove she is attractive to some one else besides the poor boob she has married.
 Even a person with light head may sometimes have a heavy heart.
 No one knows how much woman has to put up with" with her hus band, and no one knows how much he has to put up for" for her.

 If it wasn't for the census would almost des- pair of the human race, the prints full of gloomy forebodings concerning the decline Almost any reformer' will impart the information that we are on the down grade; that decadent; that the fate of Bayblon is lurking round the corner.
 It makes difference what the school of re- form, all the votaries Respondent Some ruin and bad health in womens clothes, others in drink ana still others in the theatre But the satstcians of the Census Bureau, dealing with figures and too busy to lament over the sins of the people, have a way of reviving our dropping spirits.
 On previous occasions they have assured us that the people were never before well housed or so well fed or so well provided with educational facili- tles and now they have issued a statement to the eHect that the average of human life is length ening. We suspected this, but are somewhat sur pr1sed to learn that women live longer than men, women who defy the elements dress according to their own inclination instead of by the rules their critics would lay down.
