Letter From John Alden Prescott to
 Leslie Hamilton.

My Dear. Dear Girl:
 Wait until you sre Priscilla Brad ford, and you will be rather ashamed that you asked me if ever had loved her
 That girl has just about as much appeal to d man as a wooden lndlan maiden set up in front of cigar store. 4 man only looks at her be- cause he knows that just beyond he probably will find something that pieases hm---in the case of the ln- dian maiden, good smoke: in the case of the Puritan maid, modern sirl just like you.
 Of course you understand dear, that l know all about the methods Of modern journalism and I did not mean anything deroratory to you ex- cept to explain 10 you how the para graph must look to mother If Pris- cilla had just kept still mother would never have known anything about it.
 wonder if 1 wrote to you that I had letter from your father strange. isn't it, how fathers make you think of something else besides the romance and joy Of coming mar ried life?
 Leslie dear, do you really think you love mo well enough to give up 8 great deal for me? You must remem- ber that we will have to begin life with what, to you, will be compsra- tive poverty.
 Of course ] have great hopes for my future. but it probably will be a small apartment and one maid -of-all- work for at least a year or two. when I see you we will have to talk over all these matters. did not want to spoil the newness of our love by bringing money into it while you were here.
 You and I want to begin right do we not. dear? I know I have been very extravagant fool. but l am beginning already to think where [ can economzc. We won't let the roadster go. will we? It seems 10 me nothing was SO joyous in all our I,iovely life as were those beautiful rides.
 Spring is coming, too, when every thing will he so beautiful. Oh, dar- ling, darling. l can hardly wait. The days go so slowly. am bucking into work, however, and I hope to put over an advertising contract be- fore our wedding day that will give me splendid bonus and perhaps raise my salary to five thousand 2 year.
 Dearest. you need not meet Pris- cila unless you wish but I think it would make great hit with mother If you did. However. do as you please, and you will please your loving JACK. Letter From Leslie Hamilton to Pris-
 cilla Bradford.

IRISH DECORATIONS
Amendment to Govern Sending Ac-
 cused Back to Ireland is Ready Hardly Likely to Pass.

London, March I5.-(By Associat- ed Press)--The uncasiness that has followed last Sundays Irish arrests in Great Britain has induced Sir Kings ley Wood, member Of the house c. commons for Woolwich West, to drafl bill which he will introduce next Tuesday amending the restoration Of order in Ireland act.
 The measure proposed that in the event of future deportations under the act, the home secretary be obliG- cd to inform the advisory committee tablished by the act and that with in week this committee must con. sider whether the deportation is just and reasonable. The person affected would have the right to attend the hearing.
 Members of parliament do not be- lieve that the bill will have the least chance of passage in the house, but it's introduction will give the govern n,ent an opportunity to make clear its position whicl, now is rather obscure.
