Under the blue curtain at the door Love turns and grins. "I will bo back," he says, exulting, "in another eighteen years! She doesn't lookllko much ma terial now.

She has so little intellect that she is intensely amuBod for lonf hours with her ten toesl She makes bubbles with her mouth all day long.

Romantlo people what the old-fash ioned novels called men and women of sentiment cannot but be shocked and horrified at the number of breach of promise suits that occupy the atten tion of the courts. The lady, whose lover proved faith less, no longer dies of a broken heart She assesses the blight of her young affection at so .much In good hard cash, and proceeds to try to collect it Nor does she tie up her old love letters with a blue ribbon and weep over the hid den secret She gathers up the warmest of them and they become Exhibit A in her suit for damages. This Is bad enough, heaven knows, but It Is not the worst. There are to bo found men who are so absolutely lacking to all sense of gallantry and chivalry, and even plain decency, that they sue women for breach of promise, and wo have had more than one case of late In which a fickle lady has been asked to pay in money for her change of heart. In all of these cases the aggrieved party has not hesitated to repeat every tender thlmr that was said, tn reveftl ihn mmt I saored confidences, to make public the J messages that were Intended to go Just from heart to heart, and that should have been as Inviolate as anything told i In the confessional, and to hold up the party of the other part-the once be- loved and adored he or she for the Jeers and fleers of a ribald world. In every case It has been a hideous exhibition of lack of taste, of lack of delicacy, of lack of every fine feeling of desecration of the holy of holies of the human soul. It Is a breaking of Idols that serves no good purpose, and which should be stopped by public senti ment if It cannot by law. I Ethics of the Love Game The breach of promise case should be thrown out of court, and the one who brings it should have the taboo placed upon him or her. Love Is outside of the Jurisdiction of the law, for one thing, and for another It Is really damaged In sentiment and Injured In emotions. There Is u. difference between a broken heart and a broken leg, and we cannot but sus pect that the wound to -one's feelings that can be healed by a poultice of green backs Is only a skin abrasion and doesn't go very deep. In a way all lovemaklng and flirtation ts a species of piracy, and when ons nails the flag of Cupid to his mast he puts himself beyond all further protec tion. He takes his fate Into his own hands, and whether he wins or loses he should take the consequences on his own head. That there are bound to be risks In courtship goes without saying. Indeed, the risks are what makes it worth while, what gives zest to the pursuit, spice to the game. If a man knew that any wo man he fancied was ready to Jump down his throat to say "yes, and thank you, too," the minute he popped the question, changes are he would never pop It at all. It is the thrill of danger, the fear thai another man may win her, or that he may fall to please her or fire her fancy, that stimulates the man and makes him break his neck running after her. He knows that she is whimsical, a creature of moods and uncertainty, that the thing that pleases her today wearies her tomor row, and in this Is precisely her fasci nation for him. He takes the risks on her, and it Is what makes htm such a welcher when he does not accept hi fate gallantly, if she tires of him before the wedding day and forsakes blm for an other. Precisely the same thing may be said of women. Tho woman who falls in lov.jwho balktd at the th(ught of or m with a man exerts all of her skill to vlew of not ,ett,nr hu,band or wife catoh him.

So you're lonesome, and yod want friends and you don't know how to mako them Well, start In being a friend, to some body that's a good way. Tou aren't the only l.nosmc one In the whole Btcat. big, lonesome city where you live That girl across the halt In the Award ing house Is just as lonesome as you are. Didn't you notice how red her eyes were this morning when she pr3tjudd to be drinking her coffeet Crying nil rlsht, probably, .because she didn't Kit a letter from home. Haven't you noticed what pretty olnthra she wears? Her mother made thnio clothes, and every stitch sewed n world of love Into the dull, lifeless cloth. It's hard to be away from such a motlio.- for the first time. And she's bashful, too, thnt slrl Is. No, It Isn't haughty she Is, It's timid. She's from a village up-stato, where she knew every cat and doit In town, and she's so afraid she'll do something "coun try" or "creen" that she don't oar to whisper. Help her out, pass her the buttter and smile when you do It. tt won't hurt you a bit. What It sho doesn't smite back so much the worse for her but she will, and It won't be lone until you've cot a friend someono to care whether you're too tired tor a little walk these pleasant evenings or not. someono to talk to, someone to tell when tlio floor walker Is cross, or the Klrl at tho next counter acta as If she thought you didn't know much. You can't live alone. No healthy, normal being can, and stay healthy and normal don't try It. Make friends, mako friends but bo careful what sort of friends you make Don't think, "Oh. well, thoy wouldn't have done this at home, but It's all right here," and get In with a lot of silly, street-racing, giggling girls. A goose Is a goose, whether she lives In Canajo harte or New York. A fibbing, mischief making, deceitful girl will do you as much harm here In the big city as she would at home more, for everyone knows you there, and sho couldn't make much head way against your friends. A vain creature who puts every dollar fche makes Into clothes Is Just as empty- headed here in New York as she was when left West Newton to come and net the town afire with what she thought was her glorious beauty, Rather, like Cleopatrla, she thought she was the tenor In the village 'choir told her so once. when she was In a tableau for the benefit of the flood sufferers and she's been languishing for conquests ever since. Poor thing, If she's lucky she'll marry some good,, honest man and cook his dinners for him tho rest of her life and be thankful there's a dinner to cook, Deaux why, of course, you ought to have a beau. A girl Isn't a girl without a beau. But don't plek up any kind of a creature that will smile at you, just because your lonely. You'll wish you'd lived a hermit's life forever, If you do that Don't be In too great a hurry.

They are poor players at lovo who do not find the game worth the candle and who, having danced, begrudged the piper bis price.

Bad undoubtedly for poor Mar lanna in her moated grange, but It Is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. The only abjectly miserable woman Is the woman who has never had a romancef and truth compels us to confess that th modern lover who has to woo his Inamarata- with American oHauttes, and theater tickets and taxis and little dinners, comes pretty near to paying his score as ha goes along. Inasmuch as love cannot be maun factured to order It Is one of the un written laws of the love game from which there should be no appeal and from which there should be no comeback, that when either party tires, he or she has a right to lay down his or her hand on the table and quit with no moro ado about it It is a loathsome thing to think that a man would be willing to make a woman marry him who did not want to, or a woman would accept a husband Nobody should sit in the love game who Isn't a good sport and a game loser and who does not play for the sake ot the game Instead of the stakes. i i ui t mud ivJYcr itrcia lliub I1UWVVBI the game ends the fun he has hAd out For a true lover feels that however Ily OLIVETTE. Afternoon tea is tho fad of tho Btay-at-homes, and what costume could bo smarter for tho occasion than a gown in black lanadowno, satin cropo do chine or any other soft, clinging material?

Good health and good cheer produce good work. Man did not begin to become civilized until he had learned to build houses and to practice the first elements of hygiene, a sclenco that takes Its name from a Greek word for health. When men and women live In mentally, morally and physically as when they are herded In gloomy hovels, like the peasants of tho middle ages, and like, too, many of the working people In mod ern cities and manufacturing towns. These statements are so self-evident that they hardly need to be made; and yet It is only quite recently that their truth has been so generally recognized that Something hns begun to be done on a large scale to remedy the evil effects of bad housing and unsanitary and uu cheerful surroundings. "Good houses, ut a slight cost,'-' says Senator Paul Strauss of the Krunch Sen ate, "Is the problem ot tho day, occupy ing the first place In public Interest." In France there Is a "Hoolety of Cheap Houses," whose object Is to promote und assist trie 'construction of hoalthful und cheerful homes for those whose t dally labor the maintenance of civilization and the progress of humanity depend. About 576 minor associations havo been formad there upon the tame basis. There is also a law which enables the government to old in the work of offertrjg credit on easy terms, and by granting certain ud vantages in regard to taxes. Recently the municipal cotf noil of Paris has voted a credit of two hundred rll llon francs (about fW.OOO.OOO), "to secure decent homes for thoso who are without tliem." Tho same families whloh were formerly compelled to pass their lives In the long row of gloomy, melancholy barracks, with a single roof for a doxen dwellings, with doorways resembling entrance to tool houses, with sills on the level of the dirty sidewalk, without proper light ing, without trees or shrubbery, or any green thing about, and without cheerful color or ornament, can now dwell, with no greater cost. In clean, bright, well, mado and well-lighted separate cottages The uplifting effect of this change Is plainly evident The wholo atmosphere Is altered. When tho workman returns from his dolly labor he finds a real home awaiting him. It Is n, home from which he feels no temptation to flee In order to seek the abasing pleasures ot the cafe and saloon. His family tins bo como more attractive to him because now they nra moro cheerful and happy and less subject to the attack of disease. A hundred better Instincts awako In all of them. The children havo a decent place to play and moro things to Interest them. The wife hns weJMlghted rooms, whloh she can adorn and keep In order. They all have morp respect for them selves and for their neighbors. They begin to feel a proper emulation and take prlds In preserving and Increasing tho at traotlveness of their home. One detail that I observe In these French homes for working peoplo Is worth spe clul attention Kvery effort Is made to avoid a dead uniformity in the style of the houses. Thoy are hot all built pre cisely alike. Kach has an Individuality ot Its own. The variety thus produced In the appearanco of a group of houses Is extremely pluaslng, and the effect of thin variety is felt by the dwellers them selves. It gives them u sense ot indepon. dense. It promotes the soelal Instincts by affording something novel to the view of visitors. Each housewife Is enabled to find expression for her personal tastes, and to take prldo in her own manner of arranging things. The societies of whlh I have spoken also Interest themselves In rendering it found combined In this one model. iTho suit is of dark bluo bouclo, with square col lariand cuffs of blurrod pomegranate red and blue oriental silk. Frogs of bruld fasten the single breasted coat, and fancy Hercules braid edges the collar, cuffs and the wldo belt that girdles tho ful noss of tho coat bolow tho walst-Uno, and that stops in the slanting line of patch pockets half way to the front. Tho coat curves into its greatest length at the sides, whoro it falls In points and then gradually shortens across tho back. Tho skirt is slit directly in front, and hat & band of braid outlining tho slit and continuing up to knoo height, whero it is held by a simulated hook-and-oyo-shapod frog of braid. Tho line of ta braid continues up parallel to itself and directly in, line with tho loft ond of tho braid frog, Braid orna mcntB hold in tho Bklrt at each side. ? easy tn procure good furniture at wofler ato prices, and In encouraging the adorn ment ot the Interior.
