FROM EDGERTON
SANTLEY TO MRS. RUTH.
ELLINGTON
MY DEAR MRS ELLINGTON:
I thought perhaps you might be
in knowing that I have
received long letter from our mu-
tual friend, Walter Burke, in which
he tells me that he will probably
be in this country not later than the
middle of next month. He asks me
if have seen you since came over,
and I told him that business had
kept that delighted occurrence in an
saw your friend, Mrs John AL
den Prescott, mere in the hotel the
other day and was introduced to her
father and mother. I also
renewed acquaintance with her sis
ter, Miss Alice and her fiance, Mr.
Whitney. I am afraid Miss Alice
will never make the lovely woman
that her sister is. She has that great
defect of so many American girls
she wants the center Of the stage all
the while, and is petulant and un-
happy when she doesn't have it.
I hear you saying that no man but
an Englishman could be as rude and
gruff as to make the foregoing re
mark. I hope to see you soon, my
dear Mrs. Ellington, for 1 shall sure
ly come over with Walter if not be-
fore. Until then believe me,
Sincerely yours,
EDGERTON SANTLEY.

duty toward you. That should come
first.
1t is a situation which must be
handled carefully. Your husbands 8
uncle and aunt probably could rent
their duplex again without much
trouble. The first thing for you to
do is to show your husband this, and
convince him you really would be
better off away from these relatives,
whatever their original kindness may
have been.
Then you and he must work out
some way to get away without an
gering your relatives. That will take
tact and cleVerness.
In the meantime, ignore your
aunt's cutting remarks, remember
ing that her "bark" probably is
worse than her bite"

Can you take your wife out of this

to? You know, the courts have
something to say about that.
Unless your wife's attitude has

why you should disrupt your life
again, on a thread of hope that she
might stay this time. However,
she was only child when she mar

Again, ''blAod duty" to one per-
son sometimes means neglect Of duty

mon sense is the great need.
After all, duty means little unless
it is fostered by love. A parent may
teach q child that it is his duty to
obey him, but if the obedience comes
from fear, not love, it lasts only as
long as the child is under the direct
supervision of the parent.
There is nothing laudable about

HEZLMAMN AGAIN LEADS AMERICAN
HIGH SCHOOL LOSES GAME ID PASSAIC
Game Is We'll Played and Score
 Is 6 to 5

In fast well-playcd game at St. Marys field yesterday afternoon the Passaic high school baseball team de- fcated the local high school team by the score of 6-5. The game was well-played throughout and the final score was in doubt up to the last in- ming when Grip was caught at the plate in attempting to stretch a hit.
 The game started off with both teams playing alright ball. Passaic broke the ice in the second when with two out Passaic scored two runs on two doubles and an error. There was no scoring again until. the fifth in- ming when on successive singles by Beagle, Grip and kania New Britain counted twice. In the sixth Passaic again counted twice. Both teams then tishtened up and there was no fur ther scoring until the eighth inning when New Britain tied the score up at four all.
 The two teams entered the ninth inning tied up at four all. freeNick singled and scored on pomorskis triple. Pcmorski scored on Rebele's sacrifice, his run proving to be the deciding counter. New Britain came to bat in the last half of the ninth inning and started rally which seemed destined to swing the game New Britainward. Salmon, who had replaced Gray, walked. Haber flied out. Mccarthy struck out. Grip hit a long drive into left field and raced around the bags As To neared home 1t was seen that the decision would be close. Jackson playing in left field made a perfect throw and Rebele tagged Grip out as he slid into home. making the final count 5-4 in favor of Passic. Larry Mangan called the balls and strikes and az usual handled the game in perfect style.
 The feature of the game was Jack sons throw which was of the bis league esliber.
