wonder where Molly is and
what she is wearing, and who's
telling her she is a beauty and
who's jealous Of her. And you
would like to believe that she
isn't SO pretty after all.
Dear Molly. She's had every
man under thirty in London in
love with her for five years.
And now she's going to leave
the stage, pack up her makeup
box, put away her dancing frocks
bid the orchestra leader good
bye, wish the stage door keep
er happy days, and 60 and be a
grand lady with a title-and
a butler, and a lot of maids, and
footmen, and swarms Of polite
acouaintances and agreeable
shall | call them?-friends.
Dear Molly. l hope she will
be happy
And she will be if the young
husband who is so desperately
in love with her stays IN love-
| wonder if he will?
That depends upon whether
he's in love with the actress or
in love with Molly the real
woman.
I knew a beautiful actress
once. She had the world at her
feet. She wore diamonds and
pearls, and deep flaming 2
phires, and she had q beaten
silver top for her dressing table
with a great monogram on IL
made Of turquoise.
And she had gold knives and
forks, with turquoise handles,
and a little turquoise clock for
her dressing room. And every
night she put on a white satin
dress or a blue velvet dress or
a pink silk dress, and all her
pearls. or all her diamonds, or
all her deep blue saphires, and
swept out to the footlights, and
the theatre echoed with APP
plause.
And when she had finished
singing her arms were full Of
roses and violets, and lilies OF
the valley, and she never could
carry home even half of the
flowers she had.
And a man fell in love with
her-a poor mainland she fell
in love with the poor man and
she was very happy.
Now I'll have a home" she
said. "A real home, and I'll
grow my own v%iolets, in win
dow boxes, and at eight o'clock
I'll look at my little blue tur-
ouoise clock that used to stand
on my dressing table in the the
atre and I'll laugh for JOY. And
I'll say home for me tonight
hurrah"
But when the beautiful &C
tress had been married TO the
poor young man a year or 80,
she discovered-what do you
think? That he was in love
with another beautiful actress.
And after that it was another
beautiful actress, and she final
ly decided that it was the &C
tress he loved-not the woman.
Three times the actress mar
ried. Once a poor man, once a
man in moderate circumstances,
and once she married q very
rich man. But she was not hap
py because she wanted q home,
and each Of these men wanted
an actress.
I hope Molly's husband wants
Molly the woman, and not
Molly the beautiful actress.
Don't you?

social cares, why not try a change Of scene?
And Winter sports? Nothing is more health
giving than a change Of scene and o form of
recreation which combines with it pleasure and
the benefits of health.
What is more wonderful than a Winters day
on the mountain sides, or in the woods? You
may ski there, or snow-shoe, for miles at a time,
through unbroken paths. With the snow, pure
white and deeper, perhaps, than your head, you
see Nature from a viewpoint that you cannot see
in any other way.
Such exercise plays upon every nerve and
muscle Of the body. Your senses are keener, the
blood is stimulated into new life, and with it
new vigor comes. / often wonder that so many
of US neglect these rare sports Of the Winter
time.

 Yet. it is to be remembered that no enc of the five powers is pro- posing absolute disarmament. To this degree even the most ardent supporters of the peace pact verge toward agreement with the view point of France. They do not look upon the treaty, in itself, as an ab- solute guarantee of universal peace. Treaties often have been broken. The question as it is discussed by statesmen, becomes one of degree. It states itself thus
 Shall the conference place much or little faith in the restraining effect the pact would have upon the peoples of the world, when in the future, their emotions are fan ned by threats of war?
 Interwoven as they are with the treaty, will the success or failure Of the London negotiations deter mine what place the treaty itself is to have throughout the whole future of world diplomacy?
 These are questions which only the unfolding drama of the confer ence itself can answer.
