It is your dear delight to caress with the palm

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

Well, start In being a friend, to some

Tou aren't the only l.nosmc one In

you live
That girl across the halt In the Award

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.

much the worse for her but she will, and
It won't be lone until you've cot a friend

evenings or not. someono to talk to,

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

Poor thing, If she's lucky she'll marry

Deaux why, of course, you ought to
have a beau. A girl Isn't a girl without

They are poor players at lovo who do

even years of courtship T Has he not

Or suppose a man does lovo and ride

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

and who does not play for the sake ot
the game Instead of the stakes.

Problem of Creating Pleasant Homes
is One of National Importance
By GARRETT V. 8ERVISS.
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

in the slanting line of patch pockets half way to the

Tho coat curves into its greatest length at the

shortens across tho back.
