Jack IS popular man and am aw-
fully proud OF him. He's randsome-he
has manner-and more than that he has
charm. All the girls feel f. And he
doesn't seem to know!
It's impossible to ignore the fact that
being married doesn't keep people from
flirting nowadays. But my Jack moves
among women as smoothly. as elegantly,
as coldly as q king on a chess board.
The married girls can spend their hours
with him without making their men
jealous
That has made Us very popular for
weekend motor trips. I've welcomed
these trips because we cant possibly af-
ford a vacation so soon after our honey
moon.
Jack has tried to show me that these
weekend excursions cost as much as a
vacation all by ourselves, for he stands
his share by taking the checks at restau-
rants and hotels.
After Jack had figured littel, I
hadn't the courage TO tell him how much
my motor toys have cost. I bought the
best things and had them charged. The

criminal classes that would very likely
have been criminals. in all times and un-
der all political conditions The Nancy
Skies, of whom Dickens wrote, was a
type as common then as now. II she
did not engage in bddtlegging it was not
because of any scruples she may have
had against it, but because prohibition
was not yet.
Whatever increase there may be in the
number Of women criminals Is not to be
attributed to their Acknowledgement, but
rather to the abnormal increase in crime
itself, which began long before women
were allowed to vote, and which has
brought with It its Increased proportion
of women as well as Of men criminals
The war has been blamed for much Of
the increase in crime and, no doubt. is
responsible for a part of It, but there
was letting down OF restraint before
the year 1914. 1t was the period when
people were mortgaging their homes to
buy automobiles, when the whole coun-
try was in the grip Of such a craze for
amusement as had never before laid hold
OF mortal man. much less woman It
all required money. II the war had not
come along with it's high wages and its
enormous profits there would probably
have been a greater proportion of human
wreckage than newspaper files OF that
period indicate.

taste Of high life" that otherwise would
never have been known 10 them. Some
Of them have not been willing to adjust
themselves to changed conditions and
crimes Of varying degree have been the

been committed by women is not surpris-

Of political equality is far fetched.

such crimes as embezzlement. violation
Of the liquor laws, and other ofenses,
has led 60 the assertion that this IS the
natural result of granting them political
equality; that by contact they are learn
ing the tricks Of men and losing the
old restraints that had made them the
bulwarks Of society.
The vastly increased number Of wom-
en- in all lines of employment would ac-
count in part for the outcropping among
them of public offenses that were for
merly supposed to be peculiar to men !;
but 1t is more than likely that those
who offend In this respect are the ones
who, under more restricted conditions,
would have shown similar weaknesses.
The faint OF dishonesty knows no sex.
There have always been dishonest women
in the world. The only difference in
their status now and that Of other times
IS that those who formerly found their
opportunity IN the less conspicuous ave-

the more public nature Of their occu-

tAe Mosquito Hawk. THE more I find,
the more I can eat"
Mosquitoes are a nuisance 70 real
folks" Raggedy Ann said Il think every
one should love you for getting rid of
so many Of them"
Maybe 1t is because folks do not know
how much good really do in eating the
mosquitoes" the Mosquito Hawk said.
Anyway lots Of children try to hit me
with sticks and things, and lots Of my
family have been hurt by boys. Why
one day I flew into house when the
screen door was open and the whole
family chased me around all day try
ing to hit me with fly swatters and
newspapers folded up, but l flew TO fast
for them
And that night I stayed In the house
and caught about twenty mosquitoes who
were sting ing the folks. Why once heard
the baby crying and I flew above his
crib. and there was an old Granpa Mos
quito standing right on his head with
his singer in the baby's little soft arm.
so I just said 'Gobble. Gobble' and old
Mister Granpa Mosquito will never bite
anyone else"
How grateful the folks must have
been for what you did" said Rageedy
Ann, Il should think people would have
a Mosquito Hawk in every house"
Yes - agreed the Mosquito Hawk. But
you see, they do not all know what
we are for. Most Of them think because
we scoot about over the waters and
about bosgy and marshy places, that we
feed snakes. And of course that is quite
silly"
THAT is so like most folks" said Rag
gedy Ann as she watched the Mosquito
Hawk until he darted away. "They do
not realize how much they owe to others
for lots and lots of times kindness is
done in quiet ways and those who do the
kindness are entirely satisfied with the
sunshine each kindly deed brings to
