presses your personality. It's your way
OF doing. It may be that what you

tits the fashion. But your way of
doing it is your private fashion, your
stroke
Sports offer the standard illustration
In golf or tennis anybody can hit the
ball, but you are a duffer or an ex-
pert according to your stroke. Watch
an eight-oared shell racing in the
water and see how speed and style all
depend on the technique OF the stroke
The same idea applies to much else
ir which We prefer the word style All
writer's, painters and other artists have
a style. Style Is manner. You may
build house in the Colonial style, but
every architect has his own style OF
following the colonial pattern. You
may wear stylish clothes, but your way

Everyday Law Cases
10 One Guilty Of Fraud ~ Deception
Could Easily Haze Been
Discovered?
ny ROBERT oUILLEN.
nv THE COUNSELLOR.

Representing that he owned his
property free Of mortgages, John Burr
effected an exchange of property with
Mr.. Simpson. who gave Burr a deed to
his farm in exchange.
Soon thereafter Mr. Simpson dis
covered that Burr's property was en-
numbered by mortgage for a large
sum. He sought to regain title to his
farm. but learned that Burr had sold
it to third party. who was innocent
Of the fraudulent transaction.
Burr was arrested and charged with
fraud. His attorneys. in his defense,
contended that he could not be charged
with fraud because the victim could
have easily discovered the misrepre-
sentation by making an examination
of the land records.
The court, overruling this defense,
stated.
'Inasmuch as laws are passed for
the protection of the weak and Credu-
lous as we'll as the intelligent and
prudent, the modern tendency Is to
consider, not whether the pretense was
calculated to deceive a person of ordi-
nary intelligence. but rather, whether.
in view of the victims mental ability
it was devised to mislead and did. in
fact. deceive the individual at whom

chief grievance is with her friends
and the world.
Her friends continue TO go TO parties

eight hours a night They actually
discuss little trivial things when they're
with her as If she weren't the victim OF
a great tragedy.
And the world--the blamed old world
goes right on moving. It isn't fair.
Shsila and all broken hearted DAM
sells ought TO be tickled to death that
the world and all the people IN 1t are

wasting any time over her pitiful little
affair
How awful for her il friends and REL
atives stopped going to business, gave
up eating and paused in their busy
lives to hover over her. concentrating
all their attention and hers on her
great trouble.
The fact that Sheila Is in circle OF
busy, happy people is her salvation. If
she only knew il. Their somewhat cas-
ual indifference to her pain will be
her greatest help.
For she is not permitted TO wall
aloud her sorrows. She Is not permit
ted to dwell with morbid satisfaction
on the awful details of their last quar-
rel.
No. she must pick herself up. get on
her feet and start her life where she
left of few weeks ago.
What would boone OF any Of us il

We'd be reminded OF our tragedy every
minute Of the day. Wed dwell with our

until 1t became an obsession which
blotted out all our chances OF happi-
ness in life.
The best kind OF sympathy in the
world, Sheila. is the sympathy that
lends o helping hand to one who has
fallen into deep despair ~ helping

The careless manner in which your

who sell everything from womens wear

these commercial men many interesting

Sometimes their yarns are fabulous

Big Bills" Change of Heart.

That surprising person, William Hale
Thompson, mayor of Chicago, now iii
the north woods of Wisconsin seeking
health, seems to have gained something
of moral REGENERATION from his COM
munion with nature. Only the other
day it was limited that, discouraged and
disheartened he was contemplating re-
tirement from Office. Now the hint
comes that he proposes on his return
to Chicago to stage comeback" In
timation is given that he will scrap his
old machine and build new one out
of better materials; that he win get rid
Of all his old gang and replace it with
an administration that will command
the confidence and the respect of the
community. He is determined. it Is
said. upon a thorough housekeeping
and upon making the three remaining
years of his administration model of
executive accomplishments.
This is undeniably interesting, and in
familiar phrase important II true" If
Big Bill" has got political religion up
In the woods he will have the blessings
of his fellow citizens, who. however.
will be justified in reserving Judgment
on the score of his sincerity and en-
durance.
There may be no connection between
the two. but it is nevertheless sug-
gestive coincidence that simultaneously
with the intimation from somewhere in
the northern reaches of Wisconsin that
the mayog is bent upon pure and up
right career henceforth comes the word
that the executive board of the Chicago
Crime Commission is planning a COM
bination Of all the anti-crime forces in
that city with Vice President Charles
G. Dawes in command. This union
would be coordination of all the
groups of citizens who have been work
ing, sometimes at cross purposes and
with much repetition of effort. to the
end Of redeeming Chicago from its
sorry state of lawlessness. Under the
leadership of Gen. Dawes it is felt these
forces can get results.
Immediately the story OF Davey
Crockett and the coon comes to mind.
Big Bill Is certainly freed. and there IS
no reason to question his knowledge Of
the fact.
