Why Is it.?

These dOSed the wine with
which the toast to death was
to be drunk, with a strong
emetic, which promptly took
effect. And in the emoarrass-
ment of acute nausea, the
lovers each sought solitary Sc
clusion, instead of the hand-in-
hand plunge into the lake which
they had planned.
Strangely enough, this farci.
cal, practical joke ended an az
fair which neither reasoning,
argument, tears nor prayers
could stop.
The story leaked out and was
published on both sides of the
Atlantic, we'll favored with
humor, and neither of the ILL
starred pair was able to face the
laughter this abortive attempt
at suicide had caused and both
grew to hate each other cor
daily.
Ridicule, or anything pertain
ing to it, will sound the death
knell of love. Banter, deriSion,
mockery, sarcasm, will wreck a
passion when tears and pleading
fail.
There is something diabolical
in the influence of laughter, as
directed toward a love affair or
either of the parties connected
with it. Why is it, can you tell
me?
He Hopes She Will Receive Him
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have served one year in Jail
for something of which I was
entirely innocent. Do you
think I might have at least
chance of going back to the
sweet girl to whom I was en-
gagged before this terrible thing
happened? Do you think she
would care to see me? I haven't
heard from her in year, but
still love her plenty.
CONSTANT READER.
There's an old copybook
maxim to the effect that:
Nothing ventured, nothing
gained"
Why not write a letter to the
girl and present to her such
facts of your innocence as you
may have, and ask her if she
would be willing to see you.
Problems OF A Bridge Club
Dear Miss Fairfax:
A certain bridge club has
agreed to meet one night of the
week. This night is no longer
convenient to me, as my hus.
band is obliged to work that
evening, and I have no one with
whom to leave my little boy.
I proposed another evening,
but a rather exotic member of
the club, who constantly speaks
Of her wealth, has completely
won over my friends, and will
not agree to change that night,

Old People

Old People
Old people have grown more
like earth, they know
That silence can be freighted
with song,
Small things are full of noise,
but planets go
In velvet stiffness through the
ages long.
Old hearts have learned how
futile speech can be,
How words can sting the hurt
they hope to heal;
From verbal bondage they at
last are free,
But they are verSed in every
mood you feel.
Old people have grown stronger,
growing still.
They are as faithful as the
moon-drawn tides,
They are as restful as an
autumn hill
Where naught of summers
ardor now abides.
When they have left youths
clamors all behind
They have found silence beau.
tiful and kind.

The man, who was IS years Of
age, was married and had a son.
He had become infatuated with
the girl, who was still in her
twenties. They had known each
other only six weeks, and as
rthere seemed no way out, they
decided ito end it ALL"
They drank toast to death,
and the man plunged from the
window. The girl took a second
drink to fortify her courage
and then decided not to follow
her lover in death.

Rash Decisions

It is given to the man to see
what is happening on this
planet, doubtless he regrets TOO.
How much better a large dose
of common sense would have
been than the toast these TWO

Perhaps you may recall the
case of a pair of distraught
lovers, whose attempt to lend 1t
alp sent Europe into a fit OF
the chuckles, when Europe most
needed to chuckle, shortly after
the World War.
The unhappy pair were as
long on noble blood, titles and
family quarterings as they were
short of cash. The World War
had got about everything but
a wrecked family castle over
looking a lake, and here the
modern Romeo and Juliet de-
cided to quit life together.
They were so full of their
tragedy that they failed to take
into account the eavesdropping
of several members Of the young
lady's family, who in spite OF
dire poverty STAINED a hearty
sense of humor.
