LONDON, Sept. 14.-Jazz music

Everyday Law Cases
What is Duty OF Mortgage in
Foreclosthg Mortgage?
ny THE COUNSELLOR.

John Colt. banker and money
lender, loaned 1000 to Thomas Miller,
proprietor of a local general merchan-
disc business, and took as security a
chattel mortgage on his stock and fix
lures.
Miller was unable to E1eet the pay
ments and Colt took steps to foreclose.
At the sale the merchandise brought
only the amount OF the mortgage, as
Colt was the only ore present and he
became the purchaser.
Miller went into bankruptcy and a
trustee was appointed The trustee
found no assets and made an investi-
CATION at the foreclosure proceedings.
AS a result he filed petition to set
aside the whole proceedings, showing
the following: That Colt had arranged
the stock so that 1t would be unattrac-
tive; that he had posted notices OF the
sale in inconspicuous places; that ne
had set the day Of the sale on Sat-
urday; that at the sale he had become
the purchaser and that few days later
he had advertised another sale very
conspicuously, had arranged the stock
attractively and had sold the same
stock for $2,500. making a profit OF
81 500.
The court ordered Colt to turn the
profit over to the trustee, declaring
"It Is settled law that the mortgage
under a chattel mortgage. who conducts
foreclosure sale pursuant to the
terms of such chattel mortgage, is
bound TO exercise reasonable skill. dill
igence and good faith in an endeavor
TO obtain at such sale the best possible
price consistent with such diligence and
good faith"

sonal fortunes may quickly ensue.
Few men are In position or are
willing over a period Of time to main
tain two households. No matter how
brief the period may be, every man
naturally likes to share and share alike,
and somehow 1t seems unfair that the
wife wait until the husband has estab-
lished himself before she shares his
home.
No couple can foresee how long 1t
will require for the man to establish
himself sufficiently. At the bottom of
this proposed plan of marriage iS a
tendency to be selfish.
Society has demanded, and probably
will continue to demand, that a couple
know its own minds and hearts before
entering matrimony. It demands,
legally and morally, that the husband
provide for his wife. 1t requires that
the wife share his bed and board for
better or worse. 1t Is give and take"
economic deal all through. Any other
form of marriage which robs husband
and wife of responsibility, economic con-
Germ and oneness" IN material mat
ters also robs matrimony Of its basic
purpose-to perpetuate name and for

That Extra Penny.

Now, cheer up! This isn't going to
be a dissertation on economy. Whether
YOU all grow rich by saving your money
religiously is a matter into which I
dare not 60.
No, this little story of the extra
penny has a different angle. It's q
solemn warning--not to save it--but to
know when it's necessary to spend It,
Here we have Jane. a nice. average
young thing with a pretty good job, and
a streak of Scotch in her that bids her
tuck away a little cash every week,
lust in case Of the well known rainy
day.
Jane has pretty good taste and she
enjoys wearing nice clothes as much as
any one. When there's the rumor OF
| a big party in the air Jane Is the flrst
TO rush of for some new rags to grace
the occasion.
The other day excitement ran high
| in her crowd over the impending mop
at which there were to be 40 men ana
about IS girls. It would be big eve
ming for The popular ladies who were
cut In or.
Jane dashed off to the nearest de-
partment store. armed with two weeks
salary and the determination to plunge.
A willing saleslady helped her into
several charming frocks. Jane moaned
ecstatically over white chiffon, beau.
tifully but expensively simple. Id

Just SIS too much-just $5 more than i
wanted to pay for IT,"
Sympathetically the saleslady indi-
| Gated q pink creation. Its not as
good value" she explained. But 1t Is
| $40 cheaper"
In the end. Jane selected the pink.
That streak Of Scotch In her, don't
YOU see, was working hard and the
prospect of saving $40 was q pleasant
one.
In the shoe department she debated
long over her selection OF slippers.
White satin dyed to match the dress
might be nice-but here was sale OF
silver slippers, and, after all. she
needn't be extraYagant. They weren't
beautiful slippers but they would do.
BY the time she reached home that
evening Jane was In an extremely self
satisfied mood. She had her whole
costume. at exactly half the expense
she'd planned for.
Why In Heavens name she should be
satisfied can't imagine.
Think of it--she's spent q whole
weeks salary on o pink dress she didn't
really want, q pair Of cheap -looking
silver slippers with badly tarnisfled
buckles, an imitation string of coral
(the cheapest kind Of imitation be-
cause 1t happened to be on sale) and
pair Of nearly sheer hose.
Never buy dress, hat or suit
because it's cheap Never put up with
something you definitely don't want
just SO that you can save i've or ten
dollars
In two months or so Jane win be-
come discontented with these bad pur-
chases of hers. Shell wear through
the cheap silver slippers.
The pink dress will be a back num-
Der In less than two weeks. just be-
cause she doesn't really like 1t.
You see, In the end she'll have 10
buy another costume, because she's al
ready vaguely discontented with this
one.
Don't think that by cheap purchases
| you save money. In the end you may
be just doubling your own expense ac-
count.

The Psychology Of Lipsticks.

An up-to-date Rip Van Wrinkle, re-
turning 10 Broadway after only f1ve-
year nap. might suspect that some
strange epidemic had come upon his
people. affecting women only young
women and those not so young-with
a sort Of scarlet fever of the lips.
Makeup has come out boldly from the
stage To the street-and all the world S
q stage. Now, why? w
Fashion is not 50 rational that it is
eazy 20 give reasons for what Is done
tn Its name But fashions. even those
Of this uitra-modern world. are not
made wholly IN Paris. but in the psy-
geological workshop Of human nature,
ever ready to improve upon Mother
Nature. Red lips mean good red blood,
xich vitality. youth. and all that goes
with Il. Nature makes red lips: art
proceeds TO make redxier ones.
Far from being new. the trick Is
an old one. and Is taken more seri-
oasly among primitive people. The
Indian puts on his war-paint TO make
himself look formidable; the cosmetic
lady puts on hers 70 aid her conquests
and make such gentlemen as prefer
biondS prefer q little harder. And
since 50 much in nature and in art
depends upon contrast the whittier skin
brings out the redder lips, Tor spots
on the cheek. and the red lips bring
out the complexion. aided by the facial
powder.
The psychology Of the lips begins
in the nursery. In the first months
of life mouth h-phychology dominates.
The mouth Is the receiving station
Of the serious business of feeding: IL
IS the sending station Of the emotions.
TIE smile, the pout. the sulk. the down.
tn-ttle-mouth misery are all registered
there, not 50 claborateiy but quite as
expreesiveiy as at Hollywood. Vocal
expression ISSUES from the same source,
the glirgie, the Groom. the chuckie, the
cry.
But 1t is the lips as organs Of touch
that make their part Of the intimate
emotional psychology. All touch Is ui-
innate. We express friendship by shay
ing hands Petting is natural. Wher
we are touched we are emotionallj
moved.
The kissing that starts in the nur-
sery graduates 70 other settings, and
becomes subject 70 custom. Yet II Ii

way Of tninkIng---of romantic devotion
OF the love for maid and man. YET
our soldiers who received French dec
orations had that manly ceremony
solemnized by a kiss on each cheek
from the lips Of the ranking Officer.
When we talk we move our lips, ant

Economies and Marriage.

There are many to whom the ethics
Of companionate marriage are distaste-
full. There are few advanced women
who are tolerant enough to give 1t
trial In an effort to improve, II possible,
our social institution of marriage It
matters little from an economic stand
point to which side one adheres.
Companionate marriage naturally
fosters independent households. In fact,
it would seem that marital relations
are similar TO those in ordinary mar
riage In all but economic respects We
have seen before how successful are
independent households.
First of all, where the couple Is not
mutually concerned in It's fortunes and
bound by one economic fortune, there
is tendency to drift. One does not
need the other and there is no COM
mon bond of interest to tie them day
after day.
Money Is a much abused subject, but
every married couple will recognize the
fact that money helps to keep the
household going, and that earning,
spending and saving money Is one OF
the most vital concerns Of any family

To the correct answers. This will give
YOU a slant on your mental rating
The following is a test Of ability to
discover several unknown quantities by
means of relationships between them,
This requires that more than one Iact
must be under consideration at one
time.
In Euclidean geometry the angles of
a triangle add up to i80 degrees and If
we know other relationships We can tell
the Sibe of each angle.
Example: If the three angles are

BAhB our

/ Herbert, frowningly considered
his young wife's curious composure
when caught in a falsehood, looked
up at the opening of the library
door. He thought Lila was coming
back to confess and ask forgive
ness.
But it was Dorothy who stood
smiling on the threshold. There
was a CLINT in her pretty eyes that
could easily have passed for a look
of amusement, but it deeped as she
began to speak, and Herbert decided
that it was due to emotion. She
said softly:
Herbert, hope you will forgive
me for seeming to mix into an af-
fair that is none of my business, but
love Lila very much, and I'm
sorry to say that you have hurt her
deeply. She is very sensitive, you
know; quite like child in some re-
Spects.'
Herbert replied with dignity.
"She has tried to make fool of
me-
"Oh, no, Herbertp Dorothy pro-
tested, with such unseemly haste
that he regarded her suspiciously.
She came to him and laid her
hand on his arm.
Herbert, let me tell you a story"
CHE told it. prettily. convincingly
~ in her soft, low voice It was
a pathetic story about an American
girl, who had fallen in love with a
French marquis and ne with her.
They had become secretly en-
gagged, but neither was OF age, and,
when their respective families
learned of the engagement, they
were separated. The young man
had been forced to marry a girl of
his family'S choice. and the other
girl had grieved bitterly.
After that, she had married an
American-much older than herself.
Although she now loved him, she
had never forgotten the first man.
Cant you guess, Herbert" asked
Dorothy softly, that the girl was
May Varney? And that ring-do
you think May would want Jack
Varney to know that she had
suffered so? Do you think she
would ever tell any one about it
except her most intimate friends,
Of course?" she added hastily.
IT should think" said Herbert
heavily, but looking relieved, just
the same, that, if the ring meant
SO much to her, she'd pay her bridge
debts and get it back"
Dorothy, who had made up the
touching story while she waited for
Lila upstairs, had thought of that,
too. 1t was weak point in her
armor, but, since Herbert could
think of May Xarney'S heartless-
ness, it proved that he was I'M
pressed by the tale and believed it.
1t occurred to Dorothy on the way
home that it might be well to tip
May off to the fact that she was
the heroine of a art-breaking ro-
nance.
