TERcERA Y ULTIMA cARTA
Por F. Vega Nevares.

Mi querida Luisa:-
Esta vez no has estado tan remisa
en- escribirme, pues acabo de recibir tn
grata en- respuesta mi anterior de
reciente fecha, proporcionandome la
satisfaction acostumbrada.
Tomo nota, con profunda tristeza,
de que, tras largo periodo de prudente
aplazamiento, te has decidido, por fin,
a presentar contra TIL esposo, la deman-
da de divorcio con que lie venias anne
nazando Y que ha sido tn horrible pc
sadilla de tres amos la fecha.
mo es para menos, con ocho hijos
de tn corazon bajo tu amparo, que
oportunamente tendran Ell derecho de
edgir responsibilities al autor de su
existencia material! Porque, digan 10
que quieran esos espiritus fuertes que
no Sc preocupan por NADIA, ell deber mas
sagrado, es Ell que contraen los padres
con esos seres indefensos que trajeron
la vida, que abandonan despues,
como quien Sc deshace de una pesada
carga, a orillas del camino. Sin pensar
que, andando ell tempo, ell niiio ha de
convertirse en- hombre, nlientras que,
en- sentido inverse, Ell padre Gamma a
la decadencia fisica, por ley ineludi-
BILE iY que triste que manana, los que
debieran ser el baculo de la vejez de
los autores de sus dias, pasen indife-
rentes ante ellos les senalen con el
fndice acusador, para echarles en- cara
su abandono la falta del carifio que
han prodigado, en- cambio, a damiselas
vendedoras de caricias!
Este, es, hija, ell NAL de nuestra epo-
ca. Ell veneno esta en- ell ambiente, y
10 aspiran con avidez los afines al
contagio, cuando la podredumbre mo-
El Mundo. [volume] (San Juan, P.R.) 1919-1990, 1924-05-21

raj les ha roido ell COR = n, paralizan-
do la conciencia
Verdad que no todos los maridos
tienen Ia culpa de estas cosas. Por 10
menos, hay que reconocerles atenuan-
tes. No hay que olvidar que son hon.
bres y que de continue Sc ven asedia-
dos, en- la Gale y en- Ell cine, en- Ell Par
que y en- teatros, por las seducciones
del desnudo.
Pero en- este punto va, debo hacer
presente los que, con exception tuya,
porque me conoces, puedan leer esta
carta, con una sonrisa de ironfa, Gre
yendome decadentista, que soy la pri-
mera en- reconocer que no es Ell desnu-
do en- ST, ell causante directo de los ma
les que provoca, sino la malicia des-
pertada por 10 que permanece oculto.
Mientras ell telon este caido, levan-
tar una punta de ese velo, es correr
el riesgo de provocar un incendio, ra-
zon por la que no puedo admitir, en-
modo alguno, ciertas costumbres en-
boga.
81 la hoja de para no hubiese per-
dido el solo que ell pudor lie sefalara
en- La antigiiedad, maldito 81 hoy nos
llamara La atenci6n 10 que Ell vestido
veda nuestras miradas.
Cuando la moda actual autoriz6, con
ell uso del vestido corto, la exhibicion
( de pantorrillas que Sc lucen todavia,
la novedad electrizo la sangre varonil,
enardeciendola. Hoy, apenas hay per-
sonas de buen juicio que pierdan ell
tempo en- observar esas minucias, con-
templsdas por algunos con la misma
impunidad con que recrean la vista en-
| la oreja la nariz mejor cortada.
No hay como prohibir determinada
costumbre, para exacerbar los deseos
No fue la simb6lica manzana para.
disiaca, la causa de la debilidad de
Adam y Eva, sino la prohibition de
acercarsela a los labios.

par. que parecian tan felices? Pues
acaban tambi6n de divorciarse por
incompatible idad de caracteres, que es
ell estribillo con que Sc encubren hoy
motives mas trascendentales que el
aludido, para llegar la fnalidad que
abre va camino al amor hbre y con-
mueve los hogarcs con un temblor de
espanto
iY 10 mejor es que este es el tercer
divorcio de Gaspar, todos por igual
mot!voi ~. 81
Las dos primeras veces que contra
10 matrimonio, Sc case por 10 civil, pc
ro esta vez Sc VIC obligado efectuar-
10 por la iglesia, creyendo la familia
de la victima que este lazo, santifcado
de tai modo, lie impondria mayor res
peto al veleidoso, y daria, a La vez, una
garantia de tranquilidad sosiego a
los familiares de la desposada.
Pero Gaspar no tiene en- cuenta les
''ritos'', sino los "ratos' de placer re-
novados tantas veces, y hasta Sc dice q.
tiene hecha va su cuarta election. For
este camino, que es Ell de Mormonismo,
caminan, desde hace tempo, muchos
paisanos nuestros que no sc llaman
precisamente GASPAR.
Lo que atimira en- estos casos, es la
facilidad cen que son correspondidos
los que Sc divorcian, sobre todo por
esa cohorte de solteronas va maduras,
cue antes dc vestir santos, prefercn
a cualquier GASPAR, aunque tenga
doce hijos.
Gracias que tn podras contar con
una buena renta, asegurada por Ia
Corte, mas que NADIA, por los bienes
de fortuna que posee ell padre de tus
hijos. Cuando falta este requisite, en-
vano es que la Corte decrete exija
este deber al padre desnaturalizado que
lie MEGA alimentos a sus hijos, para
darselos SUI nueva compafiera.
Es tarde Y debo concluir. Protestan-
dote mi afecto y poniendome tus Or
denes en- 10 que creas que pueda serte
it'll Sc despide tu amiga de la infancia,

La ley de Prohibition que hoy rige
en- los Estados de la Union Americana
jy en- esta isla, ha exacerbado la sed
por las bebidas fermentadas, hasta en-
las personals que anteriormente jamas
hicieron uso de ellasl
La excesiva libertad, por ell contra
rio, produce efectos analogos.
La que hoy reina, en- las costumbres,
por desgracia, ha introducido la moda
de que, la mayoria de los novios ac-
tuales, no Sc visiten va en- las casas,
sino en- Ell trolley, en- Ell parque, y mas
amenudo ailn, en- la plena Gale. Sobre
! todo, la saIida del taller, de los CO.
merc.os de las oficinas donde los jo-
venes aguardan, generalmente por las
tardes, sus prometidas, en- compaifa
de los cuales llegan hasta la puerta de
sus respectivas residencias.
Yo he visto muchas veces refejada
sentaditos en- ell trolley, cogidos de am
bas manos, cuando no en- esa for
ma, aprisionando Ell una de las dimi-
nutas de ella en- la suya prepia,
mientras la mano hbre, como quien
amasa un pan, iba y venia de arriba a
| abajo, rozando suavemente el dorso
aterciopelado de la mano prisionera,
en- un sobo permanente, mientras los
ojos despedian fulgores Y los labios Sc
plegaban de sonrisas!
liza feliz pareja, abstraida de ese
modo, no Sc daba cuenta exacta de-
sitio en- que Sc hallaba
Desterrado va, por antigualla, ell an
tiguo aristocratico BRACETE, cor
que Sc unian las parejas en- los bale.
o los matrimonios en- la calle, dt
igual modo que los j6venes sefioritaI
en- cualquier acto social cuando ibal

NO PROHIBITION
 PARTY 0N BALLOT
Not Enough Sisners to Petition
 in This State

Hartford. Oct. 1S.--The prohibit ton party in Connecticut has failed to get enough signers to its petitions as required by law and its state ticket will not be on ballot at the November election, 1t became known today. But the electors who have heretofore vote the prohibition tick ct and desire this election to indl- cate their attitude on prohibition will have the opportunity 10 do so by writing theN names of party candi- dates on the ballot or on the voting machines.
 All state tickets must be filed with the secretary of state tomorrow un- der the law. The two major parties have filed their tickets, the La Fol- lette-Wheeler progreseives have qualified on petitions the socialists will qualify, but 1t remains to be seen if the sociallst-labor party is able to obtain place by filing pe- titions,
 At d meeting held Saturday after noon the prohibition party state committee decided that the nomi- nation of William P. Barstow of Plainfleld in the second congress !sional district, for congress, should be filed az the petitions to secure this weres ufficient. But an other peu- tions dil not have sufficient names 1t was not possible to file nominations for presidential electors for congress and for five places on the state ticket. However. the state commit tee will name two presidential cleo tors, one Hartford county man and the othcr a woman in the eastern part of the state, and also file can didate3 for state offices-governor, lieut. governor secretary of state, treasurer and comptroller. Electors of the state twill be informed that any who desire to vote for prohibi ton candidates may do so by writing in the names in a column provided for such written names either on the paper ballots or the voting machines. Efforts will be made in all towns to inform prohibitionists of the proce- dure through which each may in- dicate his or her choice.
 The secretary of state has been asked, it is stated, to emphasize in

P0thier and ROsenbluth
 Freed From Suspicion

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 1S.-Roland Pothier, former sergeant -bugler of the 213th Regiment, U. s. A. and Rober Rosenbluth, former captain of the same organization. today were out from the cloud of suspicion that has been over them for six years as result of the death on October 25, 1918 of Major Alexander Cronk- hite at Camp Lewis.
 With the acquittal of Pothier in federal court here on a charge of murdering Major Cronkhite the gov ernment announced that the prose- cution of Pothier and Rosenbluth wass a closed incident. Although Rosenbluth still remains technically in custody on charge of cofaplicity in the alleged murder, James W. Os- borne, special prosecutor for the government. announced after the Pothier verdict that the case against the former captain would be drop ped.

instructions sent 10 election officers the right an elector has to write in a name on ballot or the machine. Two years ago, 1t Is said, many local election officials were uncertain whether an elector had the right to write in on blank space on the voting machines. The intent of the law, under a court ruling, is to al. low an elector to express choice.
 The prohibition party and the socialist labor party both went off the ticket after the last presiden- tial election because neither boiled the required percentage under the law. To obtain place on the ticket each party is required to ob- tain a certain number of signatures and the prohibitionists have been unable to do this. An explanation is that large number of electors who have no party affiliations have us- ually been willing to sign the prohi- bitionist petitions. This year appar- ently, considerable number of these electors have signed the petitions of the La Toilette Wheeler group and have been unable to sign those of the prohibitionists.
 The socialist labor party polled less than the prohibitionists and like the latter was unable to go on the ticket two years ago. Two years ago the socialists polled 5,2S6 for Plum kett for governor while the farmer labor party under which heading apparently the socialists-labor ad- herents voted cast only 915 votes foi Plunkett who also was the parts candidate for governor.
 However, 1t is possible fqr the minor parties to, have their 'candi- dates on the county and town tickets if desired, by means of petitions just as the prohibitionists are running Barstow for congress in the sec ond district.
 The prohibitionists have sent out a auestionnaire to their party mem- bers as to making local nominations or endorsing candidates of other parties.

Recount Starts
In Election of
Judge Lindsey

DENVER, Colo, Nov. S.-Judge
Ben b. Lindscy's fight against the
Ku Klux Khan may cost him his
seat in Denver s nationally known
Juvenile court.
Winner for reelection by 209
votes against Roy S. Graham, klans-
man, on the unofficial count, Judge
Lindsey has personally posted
guards to supervise the recount.
During the months preceding the
election Judge Lindsey fought the
klan with all the power of his ora
tory; on several occasions he was
booted and jeered by rowdies who
invaded the hall in which he was
speaking but "Littic Ben - kept
fighting
The khan waged 4 fight against
him as strong as his fight against
the khan. But Lindsey was fight
ing for the principles he has prac-
ticed in determining his sentences
against crring youth and he was
backed by hundreds of Denver par
ents who had seen their sons and
daughters live up to the honor up
OH which Judge Lindsey had placed
them.
The recount, started yesterday,
was expected to require about four
days. Rumors today from the elec-
ton commission said Lindsey had
lost two votes.
