MY DEAR. DEAR FRIEND:

MY DEAR, DEAR FRIEND:
Every little while 1t comes to me,
dear Mrs. Prescott. that there Is
surely "a Divinity which shapes our
end
Perhaps that quotation Is not quite
apropos to the thing have to tell
you, because it Is not my end that Is
the subject under discussion. How
ever, if the terrible thing which saw
with my own eyes means what think
it does, it can mean nothing else but
the end Of the marriage between your
beloved son and that irresponsible
woman to whom ne is wed.
Little did l think when I came to
New York to see why my dividends
had not been paid upon that oil stock
that Providence had meant me to be
the vehicle by which you could prove
your suspicious.
That l have found that my oil stock
is worthless and the man I thought
so nice a villain. really means moth
ing to me, beside the fact that I will
be able not only to do you a great
favor, but TO make your dear son IN
derstand just his position as husband
to the Haunting woman he has made
his wife.
You know when I come to New
York I always go around to the differ
ent hotels and look over the register
to see II there is any one whom
know in town. What was my surprise
to find Mrs. John Alden Prescott" on

staying, as I thought being alone she
probably would dine at her own hotel.
I did not think that even she would
be so shameless as to wander around
to strange restaurants at night.
I need not have worried about that
however, because she was we'll es-
sorted, although she was dining at the
Waldorf.
A man had never seen before, who
looked like an Englishman, was with
her and they seemed very much in
terested in each other They sat at
the next table to my party which,
only because of my regard for you, I
took to such an expensive place.
Do you know, my dear Mrs. Pres
colt, that your sons wife had the eff
frontery to try to speak to me? I
am sure I blushed, but I could not,
my dear frion I, gu of re- %pt' for you
speak to her under the circumstances.
I could net hear anything they
were saying until just as they rose
from the table heard your sons wife
say, You must come and have dinner

band!
I was sure I could not believe my
ears until I heard that man say. Il
shall come purposely to Albany, my
dear Mrs. Prescott, for you know that
seeing you was one Of the delights l
looked forward to in Americ2%
III hardly thought, however, that I
should be so fortunate as to find you
here to me meet on my arrival"
Dear Mrs. Prescott, I would go on
the stand and repeat those words. I
am sorry to break your heart, but at
last I have found all the things that
we have thought about your sons
wife are not only true, but 1t is worse
than even we suspected.
I will be home next week.
Affectionately yours,

occurred during the past two years
as a direct result of this folly Of
drinking.
The most serious phase Of all is the
condition of the individual in the
lowering of physical condition and de-
moralization of manhood in reproduc-
ing the species. Think OF the handi-
cap imposed on the offspring of such
debasers Of mind and body How
many will be foolish enough to sacrf-

It would seem that many girls and
young men of our own Indianapolis
believe in fairy tales, despite the fact
that they are barred from the ultra
modern nursery.
Evidently they think that they, too,
can live happily ever after" just be-
cause they happen to be attracted TO
each other.
Unfortunately, life is harder to live
than are fairy tales. 1t takes more
than a strong physical attraction and
a few weeks or a few months ardent
courtship to insure happiness. Mar
riage in real life is too complicated
for fairy tale tactics.

are skillfully concocted in many cases,

hardly understand how a man win put

aldehydes and acetaldehyde, many
other poisons from the metals of the

which is rich in misunderstanding
doses.
Hooch is poisonous for the reason
that special distillation is necessary
to drive off the poisons. This the
amateur or home process does not
accomplish. In addition to this the
alcohol is often not grain alcohol. but
a poisonous substitute of a greatly
inferior quality. Even wood alcohol
and denatured alcohol. methyl and
benzine are component parts.

some measure all parts of the body
