Nell Brinkley Says:
Here 1b a letter from a pathetic, but (I imagine) smiling bachelor man.
Out of it grew, on my part, a lively sympathy for those peoplo who sail the
high seas of life searching tho horizon for the "right" mato who never
find them, though that otic s jnost certainly tucked away somowhore in a
cornor of tho earth. Out of it, too, grew, this picture.
So . . . "Dear Miss Brinkley: The next time you are in a quan
dary for a subject for one of your pictures please make one of us lonely
bachelors, who, although fairly, good looking, and of moderate moans, never
arc able to find apartner. So pleaso make us In one of , our lonesome moods
which we all have one time or another. There are probably hundreds of
us In Chicago!"
, Then follows a.vory neat anddoUghtful compliment, for which I sweep
a courtesy, and tho Initials "E. B. F." That last pathetic cry "thoro are
probably hundreds of us In Chicago!" Is rather Imitating for thoro are
hundreds bachelor-innlds as well as men who wish that "bachelor" out
from before their name who hav0 mot countless men and maids and
passod on by who dream that somewhere in some nook of tho groon world
one stands alone untnntcd dreaming, too and meant for them!
See now the lonely bachelor. He Isn't always lonely you must un
derstand only somctlmos when tho mood fallB on hlin by his hickory
fire perhaps. Cupid rumples his hair and sighs nlso for oven with all bis
conjuring tricks and mngic this is ono thing ho cannot do find whore tho
bachelor's lost and never-found mate goos about her business of living!
"Somewhere my woman my girl breathes and laughs cornea and goes
and Is a bachelor, too! Perhaps she lives just round tho corno'rt If you
and I, Eros, could hide behind tho wall anu ace her faco WoM know her'
sure!" Cupid squirms this 1 a horrible thought "just around. the cor
ner!" Tho bacholor dreams oh- "Perhaps she lives, my friend, on u
South Soa Island one of white colonists a long tlmo 'out from home.'
Perhaps (If wo wero only suro) she lies on tho whlto Band, under tho rustlo
of blowing palms, hor warm face turned to tho peacock-colored sea- look
ing for you and I! Perhaps she isn't thoro at all porhaps olio's in the

now ln.toquo and sweater, tho snow mattod on her warm skirt- and. frozen .
on her moccasins, her .wolf-dog bristling at tho drop below looking look

if wo only know! If wo could only moot hor face to. face to see hor

It Is a, difficult task, especially If tlx

But Just there Is where woman's tact
should be employed. A tactful woman
who loves her husband, can make him
see the necessity of enlarging her In

out any humiliating methods of begging
or arguing. There is nothing love and
tact cannot accomplish In this world.
Are you using these admirable methods

0110. The mind flies
lightly to the stars, but the body Jre
malns chained to the earth
The mind rebels against the limitations
of phyblcal nature, and frets over the In
capacities of Its Instrument, the brain.
If you .stop to reflect a moment you will
feel that your mind Is not only in a
prison, but is shackled there. Or, to pyt
It another war, you feel that your mtnd
posso-es powers which are both too
fine nnd too great for the coarse, flabby
cells of your brain. It Is something like
a vapor of Infinite elasticity and infinite
fineness of constitution wldch passes
through tho walls of a cylinder without
effectively driving the piston, In short,
the -brain, although It may be the most
noariy perfoct qf our bodily organs, la
fur too coarse and too weak for the
power that drives It.
When Newton wished to make his bruin
represent what his mind Instinctively told
him of the laws of the universe he hod to
invent a caloulus whose Mow, laborious
steps impressed upqn thu brain cells grad
ually led them to results that they could
nut attain directly. Can anyone for a
moment believe that the cells of Xewton's
brain would have produced the "Prin
ciple" if there had been no guiding force
acting through them, and setting them,
approximately. In the right direction?
Nawtoti's mind may have been no better
than yourr, but his brain was finer and
moved to the force behind, Instead of let
ting It escape like steam out of a leaky
boller
If yfil wish to see both how jour tiialr)
J
logs behind your mind and how the
powers that It does possess have been
glvo. to It. by constant training, take
any. simple problem In mental arithmetic.
Tou perceive atVince that 12 times 12 are
lit, because the brains of your cell have
beeeu drilled to the recognition of that
fact, and remember It like a well conned
lesson. But now try to multiply In your
head 17 by 17. Unless you have dona It
before you lose the thread of the calcut
latlon nnd are unable to say straight off
that the product Is 289. With more com
plex calculations the contusion becomes
complete. CI rent mathematicians have
acknowledged that when they perform a
long series of operations involving the
I higher processes of their science they
are like a man blindly following a clue
through a labyrinth. Their brains are
only conscious of the successive steps,
and arrive by rote at the result Yet all
tho while tl.ey feel that their minds
would bo capable of perceiving the- result
at once but for the obscurity of the
medium In which they .work.
These so-called disharmonies of human
nature ate receiving a great deal of at
tention Just now from physiologists and
psychologists. Their study leads to the
hope that some means may be found to
eliminate them at least, to a consider
able degree. They appear to arise from
the fact that man originated as a "sport"
In the animal kingdom, as Prof. D.
Dastre, of ths Paris Harbonne, puts Itt
"At some critical period In simian (ape
or monkey) life, man appeared as an In
fant prodigy, the child of an anthropoid.
He was born with a brain and an In
telligence superior to those of his hum
bio parents, but, at the same time. In
herited from them an organization which
wa Insufficiently adapted to the new con
ditions of existence created by the de
velopment of his benslblltty and his men-
1 tallty. This Intelligence, disproportion!
to an organization whose development did
not keep step with It, still protests
nvaimit the dlseordances of adaptation
which it has not yet had 'time 'enough
to efface. Hut it will efface them In the
future."
r commend this to the careful con
sideration of all thoughtful readers, for
here, evidently, lias the road that .leads
to the future destiny of the human race,
when It shall, ut lait. have acquired a
brain commensurate In capacity with the
rf-qulrr mtnts of that instery of mys
tirhs the directing, all-steing mind,
"Dear Miss Fairfax! I am a little In

don't want to go out with every Tom,

Well, In my oplnldn, the joke Is not en
you at all.
What's the fun of going out with a
man you don't like?
What sort of a "good time" can you have
when you're with people who don't appeal
to you In any way?
I'd rather sit at home with a 5-cent

In the smartest restaurant In New Tork
with some loud voiced, coarse vulgarian,
who made "me ashamed of him- and of
myself for being with hint every- time- he
opened his mouth.
I ran away to a dance once when 1
was a girl.
I was visiting my1 aunt In a country
town, and I thought she was too particu
lar about the company I kept, and so one
night there was a party at another vil
lage near by and a man I had met at a
Sunday school picnic asked me to go to
the party with him. My aunt wouldn't
hear of such a thing, but -on the night of
the party elit went to visit a tick friend
and I went to the party with the man
my aunt didn't like.
When we got to the party tho man
turned out to be the worst dancer In. the
room. lie stepped -all over rny toes; he
tore my pretty dress; he -talked so oud
and acted so, queer that everybody .In
the place was laughing. at him and at
me.
Thtre was, .nothing .really wrong about
the man ha was good enough as far as
his morals went but he was Just a sort
of coarse buffoon, I remember when the
musicians went to -supper my man got
hold of the bass viol and tried to play
It and made a noisy nuisance of himself
In general. About 11 o'clock I pretended
to have a sick headacre and went home,
with my poor beau expostulating all the
way. ,
My aunt never saltl a word to me about
the party or my beau,
She didn't have to.
I had learned my lesson that time.
A little later I had to learn It all over
again. I was In a strange city, living in
a strange boarding house among Strang-
cri. There wero some peoplo in th
houso who worp very nice to me, . I didn't
Ilka them very well, but, well I was lonely
and homesick, And I allowed myself to
become very familiar with them.
For ten years' 'those peoplo followed
mo Ilka so pie decreo of fate.' I left that
city went s-hipnir friends oC a very dif
ferent sort, but wherover I was those
people followed ma by sopip hook or
