Wandering Husband

TO Worried Wife-Since he
treats you with Indifference. you
might try the same on him. Not
cold Indifference, you understand,
that would be too obvious Be bright
and happy. Don't NOPE around the
house. and cast gloomy looks in his
direction. Instead, seem to have
something else on your mind beside
him. When he speaks to you, make
a little effort to come back from
some pleasant thoughts, and ask him
TO repeat what he said. Now don't
make this too pointed. You'll have
to play a clever little part. He is toe
sure of your affection. Let him go
his way and wish him God = speed.
Be shy of display of affection. and
keep yourself in reserve. Assume
an innocent mischievousness, and
let him surprise you smiling to your.
self sometimes, but warn you not
to overdo it. Make him curious and
keep him that way. Don't ever give
yourself away, or he will return to
his old tricks. Make him keep the
baby a lot and don't tell him where
you are going. Spend his money on
pretty clothes for awhile. and make
yourself attractive. All this. II you
want him. I don't believe I'd want
a man I had to work so hard for,
but perhaps it will be the very
medicine to pep you up. AS for the
neighbor girl. make hi msee too
much of her and sicken them both.
Under no circumstances display
jealousy.

That's an exquisite way to put it,
Leslie. I would have said that you
had an interest in everything and
everybody, and would have added
that understanding human nature so
well, you know what few OF us ever
will acknowledge that no man or
woman is wholly bad.
Most of us want our heroes sans
peur ct sans reproche. and almost
all Of us. I think. want our villains
TO have horns and tails and cloven
foot.
That you do not want this, that
you do not think that humanity is
either wholly good or wholly bad, is
perhaps your greatest charm for me-
because, whether you know it or not.

LETTER FROM MELVILLE SAR.
TORIS TO LESLIE PRESCOTT
TONTTNTTEn


1t was rather confusing to find so
many Of those little statuettes. when
l thought there were probably only
five couple in the world-at least. I
have only known of four couple and
a half that have been accounted for.
But they make everything nowadays
by wholesale. especially in the NOV
les; and they have such wonderful
artisans, II seems that Miss Per-
rier went TO one Of the artists that
work on her lot and he made the
statues first in plaster OF Paris and
then nodded them in silver.
It's the way of the world I expect;
either the thing that fascinates you
or entertains you or fillips your emo
tions is repeated so many times that
all the romance is extracted from
the original; or else it is touted and
talked about so much that you come
TO regard IT as very cheap.
Do you know I am beginning to
think that my quest. which I
thought so fun OF romance, so
unique-which I though had almost
a tinge OF. Sir Galahad-is rather
banal. But unfortunately. when I
once make up my mind to do thing
it is almost impossible for me TO
unmake II. If were never to hold
that little jade woman in my hand,
I know I should have an unsated
desire as long as I should live. So
I'm going on this time. where you'll
not be able to find me with a letter
or telegram.
Don't think that I was not over
joyed to get that one; but you can
never write me another as you did
that, for In the meantime you know
how 1 feel toward you.
I'm very glad, lady dear. that you
did not get the letter I sent you be-
fore you found out that I had
stopped in Los Angeles. If you had,
of course I would never have re-
ceived a message; If you had, I
should have been heartbroken to
have received a message. Now l
have a message that you have sent
me to read over and over-something
I never hoped TO have-ard yet I
haven't lost one of my illusions or
dreams about you. You are still my
Madonna of the Shows.
BY the way, my dear Leslie, I en-
joyed my party in Los Angeles much
more than I expected, for Miss Pc
rier, when she heard me remark
that I knew you. spent the rest of
the evening eulogizing you. Accord
ing to her. you are a woman divinely
human, and humanity divine. She

tears, so that their days are spent
in nursing imaginary woes.
Being, as they suppose, entirely
too delicate to have children, and
too weak to work, they drift idly
through life, like weeds upon the

able to be wholly miserable-a sort
of twilight state Of pleasant suffer
ing which creates for them the illu-

OF course, what these women
need manly, is a house to look after
and six children to wait on, and
lot OF other good wholesome grub
bling to keep them busy so that they
can forget about themselves.

He writes just Robert j. Blank, In

German Railrnen in
Convention Assured
of British Support

BERLIN, June 25 (By Mail).-The
third general congress of the German
railwaymen's unions, which opened In
Cologne on Sunday, was attended by
100 delegates, representing 10000
trade union members. Delegates from
Great Britain, Belgium, Denmark, Hol-
land, Austria, Poland, Sweden and
Czecho-Sloval1ia were also present.
Replying to an address Of welcome,
Mr.. c. T. Cramp, industrial general
secretary Of the National Union of
Railwaymen. assured his comrades of
his readiness to assist the German
railwaymen to secure better condi-
tions.
He realized the difficult position
created by the Dawes scheme, but, be
said. if separations had to be paid,
they must not be paid at the expense
of the German working man and his
wife and children.
The supreme question of the pre-
vention of war in the future rested
with the transport workers, acting
with international solidarity. Mr..
Cramp was definitely in favor of the
workers combining to prevent war,
even if it meant series OF interna-
tional strikes.

NO CONCESSIONS
To BELGIUM ON
PRE-WAR DEBTS
Affection for "AH y ="
Shown as the Bunk

WASHINGTON, July S.--The Unit
ed States will decline to recognize
any difference in the status of debts
contracted by European nations dur
ing or after the world war.
This statement was made officially
here today in connection with the an
nouncement in Brussels that the Bel
gian debt funding commission, which
is due to arrive in Washington early
in August, would seek to repudiate
that part of it's debt consSc cted be-
fore the armistice and would agree
to pay only it's postwar debt.
The Belgian government has been
advised by the state department and
thru the American minister at Brus-
sells that all of its debt, now amount
ing to O,5O3,9S4. must be funded
on the same basis. .
In the course of the discussions
that have taken place in Brussels and
Washington looking to the opening
of debt negotiations, officials of the
Belgian government and Baron De
Cartier, ambassador to Belgium here,
have preached the question of fund
ing only the postwar debt
The total of the Belgian debt prior
to the >armistice, the amount which
Belgium now wants to repudiate, is
$171, $780, 900, to which has been added
interest totalling about $4,000, 900.
Belgium paid interest five per cent on
this part of its debt up until 1918 and
then stopped.
Criticism of the American debt-col-
lecting policy by European financial
leaders during the recent meeting of
the international chamber of COM
merce in Brussels was looked on here
as contributing to the decision of the
Belgium government to carry to
Washington it's plea for part cancel
lation of its debt.

Law Would Bring Universal Ignorance
II feel that any law requiring our
school children to worship God ac-
cording to the St. James or any other
version of the bible is a clear-cut
violation of the constitution" Scopes

The Tennessee law, which he vio-
lated, Scopes declared, was an open

will of the majorities upon all the

Membership Ready to Fight Il Out.
The most obscure member OF the
Amalgamated know that the light
with the l. T. c., is a challenge to
the union. They are in readiness,
have accepted the challenge and will
battle the thing to a finish. They
are confident that a policy OF militant
struggle will win. They are conf
dent of their own mass power.
In New York City, both the Taylor
firm and the l. T. c. are completely
tied up. The open shop has failed and
all attempts to get United Garment
scabs have fizzled out. The workers
of both cities feel new unity and
fraternity and nobody can hereafter
tell them that they have no business
interesting themselves in their mu-
tual problems. a...
Manager Looks Sick; Injunction
Delayed.
Kormeier, the labor manager OF the
l. T. c., appears to be suffering from
the heat of late. On the street he
shows a sickly face. No orders are
being given. No one to bring them
in. No one to work them up. No
one to take them out.
The injunction application which
was to have been given hearing was
laid over Tuesday and will probably
come up on Thursday. The Italian
business agent of Local No. 270, Mike
De Novi, in a spirited address to the
strikers at the activity meetings, told
of the situation in the shops both
here and IN New York and declared
that no injunction would prevent the
militant membership of the A. c. w.
from winning the strike, in spite of
the police, the bosses and the Bcab-
bling United Garment crew.
