BY MIMI.
In Too Deep.

Il can't help what you say about
the folly of loving a married man, "
writes Florence. I'm in too deep to
back out now without running my
particular mans life. He loves me
devotedly. His wife makes him UNI
happy. And he wants me to go away
with him. If it weren't for his child,
should have done so long ago.
probably but I feel that he ought to
have his duaghter-and that he won't
have her If his wife gets the chance
to divorce him
The letter goes on at great length on
the subject of Florences love for Jack
and her aforesaid inability to back out
Of a situation which she herself has
created.
Why can't she back out? Because
it would ruin Jacks life.
Then why shouldn't she go away
with him? Because. unfortunately.
that also would ruin Jacks life. Jack
is in a pretty bad way Just at present
and needs our sympathy as much as
does Florence, but nothing she can do
will help him as much as to 60 away
from him forever.
Look here. Florence. You're sitting
UP there on cloud. and you're not
looking any farther than the rosy mist
permits you to.
In your mind is a picture of Jack
and you happy and free to love each
other. In your heart is a hope that
he will be allowed to take his little
daughter with him.
But now. do little clear thinking
You know as we'll as I do that he will
have to give up the child. You know
that the scandal of divorce in a small
town will drive you both away to seek
home in some far-off place.
Is your Jack the kind of a man who
will gladly throw over the habits, the
employment. the interests Of life
time in order to be with YOU?
Or is he just the nice average man
who wants his comfortable home. his
friends about him. his place at the
Office waiting for him every day?
/ should think he was that, you
know. / should thinL. that, after the
glamour of romance had begun to dim
a bit. Jack would miss accustomed
places. friendly greetings, the sense
that he was in the right place doing
the right thing.
II he seizes his happiness with you
at his wife's expense. he will never
be sure again that he Is in the right
place doing the right thing. He will
regret his child so long as he lives.
Don't you see that the happiness YOU
can give him is temporary sort of
thing-an incomplete sort of thing.
For IL years now he's been married,
building up his life with the woman he
loved, establishing himself and his place
in the world
You propose to destroy everything
he's builded, to snatch him violently
from all the thousands of little things
which bind him to the life he leads.
And you actually see happiness for
both of you in the future. My dear.
take of the rose colored spectacles and
listen to old Mother Gloom.
Your only right course Is to go out
of Jacks life with a loud crash.
That will make him unhappy, yes
but not forever. It's a bitter thing
but a true one that man OF Jack S
age will find himself again and ma
himself quite contented, once the vision
of your youth and love are away from
him
You're never too deep in any Situa-
ton to be unable 10 do what's right

Your Baby and Mine
Necessary for Every Baby's Birth to BE
Recorded.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Necessary for Every Babys Birth to BE
Recorded.
Mrs. F. ]. writes. "Our baby was born
In one State and six weeks later we
moved 10 another city. ! don't know II
the birth of the baby was recorded and
nothing was said to me about 1t. Who
should do this and If the birth hasn't
been recorded, shall / have 1t done In
the State in which l am now living, or
In the other State where baby was
born? To whom should l writer"
Answer. In a good many States II
is a matter Of law that the attending
physician or any other attendant shall
make a report of the child's birth to
the local registrar, who will make this
birth matter of record. Some times
this seems of very small importance to
the parents at the time and they fail
to make certain that the formality has
been gone through with, or else they
do not understand that the questions
the doctor asked them the day the
child was born. were designed for the
record blank he filled out,
In your case you may write to your
attending physician In the first State
and ask him If the baby's birth has
been recorded, and If not write to thf
state Board of Health at the capital
CITY of the State In which the child
was born. and f1ll out and return the
blanks they send you.
Only recently a friend OF mine who
was going abroad for the Summer
found that in order to get her pass
port she had 10 have copy of her
birth certificate. Such scurrying around
before she located It.
There are so many circumstances
which arise in a child's life which may
cause him serious inconvenience II he
can't prove legally his age and his
right 10 the name he bears.

Well Developed Chest.

There are two varieties Of breathing

little hollows around the collar bone.
For the first variety go outdoors or

hands and arms about shoulder height.
extend them In front of you and as you
breathe open them out so they are
stretched on either side Of you and
force them back as far as you can. You
can get them quite far to the back. and
you can feel the expansion OF the chest
and consequently its greater capacity
for air.
The other exercise for the hollows in
the chest is as follows; Take quick
deep breath of air. filling the lungs as

Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

August IL. 1S6O.-Work on the vari-
Gus portions of the Washington Aque-
duct is going forward with as much ex-
petition as circumstances and the sup
ply OF workmen will permit. At the
Cabin John Bridge artisans and laborers
have been busy for some time. and at
Rock Greek Bridge. connecting Wash
ington with Georgetown, the same Is
true.
Today the pipe lines were commenced
in two placeS--and this side OF the as
tributing reservoir and at point Within
the city itself. The largest sized pipes
will nov be put down in line, and 1t is
expected that all of this sort OF work
will be completed before the heavy frosts
come in the late Fall or early Winter
Although the water at the receiving
reservoir on Powder Mill Branch Is low
at this time and, owing to drought. de-
creaSing every day, it is not doubted
that in a reasonably short time the sup
ply of water there will begin to increase
and that enough will be furnished dur
ing the coming Winter and Spring for
all the wants of the two cities OF WASH
ington and Georgetown. The grand
supply from the Great Falls of the Po-
tOmaC cannot De eHJOycu uHth sohiV

The Chesapeake 81 Ohio Canal after
another mishap--the bursting OF cul-
vert above Shepherdstown--is again in
a navigable condition, although there Is
some danger of interference from low
water on some of the levels. A fleet OF
coal boats from western Maryland Is on
the way and expected to arrive at
Georgetown tomorrow,
The canal tolls collected at George
town last month amounted to $l8.27o
and other tolls brought the total to
about $4,000.

VIE fact that Washington is without a
woman physician. In New York medl-
cal journal there has Just appeared a
letter from a Washingtonian, viii signs

not have one female physician. . .
If two or more doctreSses would make
their homes here they could make for

land that the Capital of the Nation is
