"An Indoor Sport"
(With Deep Apologies to Tad)
In Wintrr Krowsinp; Through tho
Nlioat of Snaps Taken Last Summer

i- .
. It you've been very orderly minded of course, you have yours
la a book all pasted properly down and labeled In a careful hand
with sentimental and farcical titles but if you are Just a careless'
human with a habit of saying with little Johnny in the Fourth
Reader, "In a minute! In a minute! Walt a while! Walt a while!
Pretty soon! . Pretty soon!" I 'spect yours are Just as mine are
In curly sheafs as stiff as a board that you have to hold with spread
fingers so a guest may see, while you say in Intense embarrassment,
, . . "Now now if this was only flat and clear you could see what it
was! This girl is really beautiful but her face is a blur!"
But It's fun. To cuddle up those who were in them and go
'through the pictures you took of all your fun last Summertime!
' There are one or two that really look like you, and are a Joy, of
-course but the rest are comical mUe-posts where you may stop
a minute and knock on Memory's door and have a bite and sap and
Jolly word there.
All through the funny lot, you cry, "Don't you remember?"
There are groups where the ensemble seems Just rows of glimmer
ing teeth. Hair and eyes and shapes fade Into the background.
There's the picture In bright, white sunlight where you wore
some nice man's derby and your chum another's topper.
There's the picture for you, arms akimbo, with the sun in your
eyes, wet from the sea it's rather nice and across the lovely sea
and sky background flickers a greyhound-looking stranger as thin
as a wafer with a gleeful smile upon his face, to take his dip in the
sea! "Maybe Jack can retouch him out, he's awfully clever!"
. There's the one of Jack in one of your evening frocks, "extra"
curls, a fan, a rose, an arch smile and his hair showing at the
ears! The little frock came within two feet of meeting In the back,
and he never dared to breathe or squldge his arms back until it was
all over. "Rather nice," says he.
There's a charming party of girls all clear and beautifully
taken with the heads cut off! Neatly guillotined!
There's a mysterious one where a girl and a man stand, mon
itrous shadows against the sky, with lovely flashes of light rlg
zagglng across the spectral figured. Vague people of the Sharp-
play type, meeting perhaps in the corridors of the Hollow-Land!
Starved-looklng folk! You don't remember which of you they are.
The feet look like Jack's. Or, maybe, Dick's. Well, anyway
There's one of Dick dancing, wrapped in sea-weed, the ballet of
the Nerolda!
There's a row of bathlng-frocked legs emerging downward
from nothing in particular. The bodies of these people from the
knees up are lost In mist and fog, and that In turn develops Into a
face awry and laughing erazlly. There are palms waving softly In
It, too. Strange! Somebody looked Into the camera to see If the
lens was closed. But who this grotesque flash of a face is, nobody
knows.
There's the one where a smiling row poses before the breakers
and the feet of them draw up Into the eye of the camera huge,
giant feet such as never were on sea or land.
Memory stands beside a lovely door, wherein all humans de
light to pass and from within cornea laughter and singing and
sometimes the sound of falling tears. NELL BRINKLET.
Some Leap Year Don'ts
Here ere a few leap-year "dnn'ta"

"Don't marry a woman," he advises,
"whoae mouth la aet In deep round line.

Love of Lucre
;
By DOROTHY DIX.
A poor young man in Pennsylvania
has recently had to make a choice be-
ween money and matrimony. A woman-
bating relative died and left him a com
fortable tittle fortune on the condition
that he would never wed. The youth waa
engaged to a girl, but he promptly dis
carded her and qualified aa a perpetual
calibrate under the will, saying In affect:
"I love my aweetheart, but. oh, you
plunks.!"
The young man's decision was a sordid
but perhaps natural one. Fifty thousand
dollara and a California ranch the
amount of the legacy would look mighty
good to most Impecunious youths. Be
sides which, a man might well argue
that a wife la an expensive luxury any
how, so In accepting the conditions of
the bequest he would save money both
wave coming and going.
Of course, on the other hand. It may he
xaid that $90,000 and a ranch are a pretty
poor price for which to sell oat the
love of a wife, and the happiness of
home, and of having little children about
one's kneea
Never to have sny love, but the mer
cenary lova of mercenary woman! Never
te have any home but th barren shelter
of bachelor quarters! Never to feel the
cuddling of a downy head against your
breast! What lands or money can pay
a man for minting these?
Whr. the chief good that a man gets
out of money s the pleasure of spend
ing It on thoe he lovas. and if you take
away those from him his gold la counter-
felt coin. It is not legal tender at the
Mart of Happlneea.
Why docs a man want to buy Jewell
and soft silks, and filmy laces? To dec
it the woman he lovea. Why doea he
nt to build beautiful and (usurious
of wearlnees and make bis sacrifices
sweet? The knowledge that be la keeping
wife and children soft and warm and
safe In the home neat.
The fun that a man gets out of hi
labor, the precious reward that makea It
worth while, is paid over the counter of
home in his wife's smiles, in the love
look in her eyes, in the faces of little
children watching for his return of an
evening, and the rapturous ory of
"Daddy," with which they run to meet
him.
Eliminate these and what does a man'a
money buy him. The Indulgence of vioes
that sear the soul and kill the body. A
few suits of clothes, each exactly like
the other. The Indifferent comforts of
hotel or club, and the society of fat and
tedious old rounders, telltng endless
stories about themselves. When he Is
sick the ministrations of a hired nurse.
When he grows old, the paralysing; con
sciousness settling about hie heart that
he has lived unloved and will die un
wept. it Is not a gay life,' that of the old
bachelor, and the foolish youth who has
traded off hla sweetheart and hla right
to marry for a few thousand dollara
has sold his birthright for a mess of
pottage that wtll set heavUy on hla
stomach many a time In the long, lonely
years of the future.
For the truth Is that we can buy
fleeting pleasures with money, but we
cannot purchase abiding happiness with
it. That roust come from tha rest and
the peace of tha soul, from the satisfied
heart, and these have no price tag on
them. i
February Is from the Roman "Febru
Illa" a festival held in ths second month

Advice to Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax
Yew Are Lonely.
Dear Miss Fairfax: Am a young lady
past Id. of pleasing appearance, and havo
been going with a young man eight yeara
my senior for the last two and one-half
years. We had all Intentions of being
enuaged very shortly, as we loved each
other very much. He Is of a very settled
nature, refined snd does not care for
frivolities.
The last time I saw him waa about
three wevks ao. st whioh time lie seemed
to love me as dearly aa ever, but since
then, to my groat surprise snd sorrow,
be has not let me hear from him. I can
not Imagine what the trouble la.
He used to visit m three tlmoe a week,
and in between we corresponded. It Is
now three weeks since I have seen or
heard from him; and at first 1 thought
perhaps he was alrk. so I wrote to him,
but received no snswer; thought that let
ter had goue aatrav and wrote another,
but atlll no taiwir. 1 love hi in very
derly, and the three weeks that be haa
not visited me hss boen a burden for
roe to live.
1 do not think I could ever care for
another. D. R.
Thla men Is treating you very oruelty,
and I hope you will call your pride and
dignity to your aid and dismiss all
thought of him from your mind. Since
you have wrlten blm twice and be has
failed to respond he probably Is doing
so In order to save himself the unpleas
ant task of telling you that he Is no
longer Interested In you. Of course you
ran sea for yourself that is the proceed
ing of a coward and no woman ran really
love or respect a weakling. Now, my
dear girl, do not think of life as a burden
or imagine that you will never care for
anybody elae. At It one has youth with
ita wonderful .recuperative powers. You
are just a little lonely and must seek so-

Medical Mysteries
By WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D.
PART II.
One of the greatest authorities on
leprosy, the late Blr Jonathan Hutch
inson of London, waa Inclined to regard
a fish diet aa the chtef predlaponlng
cause of llproey especially badly cured
salt fish.
Either that the germ wss carried from
one patient to another on Infected and
badly decayed fish, or that flsher-folk as
a rule live chronically on and often over
the edge of absolute poverty, under con
dltlona of great hardship and exposure.
Usually In northern climes they have
to live through the winter upon an ex
tremely monotonous and Inadequate diet,
consisting chiefly of fish, which Is too
poor, or too badly cured, to sell; bread,
roolaaaes and tea, ana a few coarse
vegetables.
In support of bis contention he pointed
out the curious and striking fact that a
map of tha distribution of legroay waa
a map of coasts and Islands; a thin, red
atrip fringing the borders of continents,
and, with a curious fidelity, following the
sweep of warm oceanic currenta, which
brought quantltlea of flan, and a mod
erately dense population living almost
entirely by fishing.
To find legroay common fifty miles In
land from the seaooast or the estuaries
of great rivers 1a extremely rare.
As population and commerce increased
and men were not limited to the flaher
iea aa a means of livelihood, out could
make living wages at other occupation
during the winter aesson, leproey grad
ually declined and finally disappeared, aa
on the coasts of Ireland and K'otland
barely a hundred years ago.
While as fnon as rallroada appeared
upon the cpne, with a promt t and enor
raoualv inrreased market In the great
jcitios all ocr the country, and Ico could
be used aa a presenvatlve instead of salt,
and fisherman could sell their catch at
one for good prices and real money and
buy real food with it meat and fruit,
and eggx, and butter, and milk, inaieud of
starving on stinking salt fish half the
year then leprosy went down and out
by leapa and bounds, as In Norway and
Boutli Africa and Ceylon and the west
ern coaHt of India,
A curious and unexpected support was
given to thla fish theory, years after It
was originally advanced, by the fact that
the only aubetance or culture-medium
upon which bacterlologlata have ever suc-recdi-d
(ln making the leprosy bacillus
grow, outside of the human body, la a
paste or broth of partly decayed fish, aa
ulcoered Ly Iuvall, of New Orleans, a
lew yeara ago, and that the aame ot
aerver succeortcd In making the germ
grow and multiply In living aguarium
ilwhes. though It did not produce In them
any disease or even apparent Impairment
of health.
Incidentally, our own fortunately very
limited American experience fits In pre
cisely with the flnhor-folk theory of the
dlaeaae. It h a curious coincidence, to
nay the least of It, that the only two
centers In North America wnere leprosy
has got a foothold and new rases oc
casionally develop were both In flshei
communities one among the French
habltanta of the News Brunswick coaat,
the other In the delta of the Mississippi
river below New Orleans.
The disease was brought in at least 2n0
or 20 years ago, and. In fact, both col
onics are probably one and the same
people, the ill-fated and picturesque Ar
cadians, whose enforced exile from Nova
Kcotla and New Brunawlrk to Louisiana
haa been immortalised In Ixngfellow's
"Kvangellne "
Tbal tbe disease, even among these
Leprosy
primitive and poverty-stricken people,
has never numbered more than a few
hundred rases at any time In ths course
of a century, and Is now reduced to a
doxen or so rases In the northern focus
and a few acore In the southern, nearly
all of them gathered Into admirably
mar-aged and comfortable leper hoapltals,
is a fair sample of how ser.ous a menace
the disease Is to our civilisation.
Outside of theae two mall areas, not
a alngle new cass of leprosy has ever
been known to develop on American soil,
although hundreds of fresh cases hsva
been brought In front tha Scandinavian
countries, ths orient snd the tropics dur
ing that time.
