DEFENDS EXEMPTION Editor, The Citizen: Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home. I have noticed through the columns of your .paper that our City Manager has twice referred to what I may call a delinquency in our tax income on account of ‘the homestead exemption act. I am not referring to the dated articles, as this is not for any: political argument. Since “Home Sweet Home” has *| been translated into every lan- | guage in the world, the fear of freedom should not be placed over his head. } have always heard that a man’s home is his| castle. The average man has to live j until he is forty or fifty years of age to accumulate enough out of a salary to acquire a home. So for humanity’s sake, let his homestead be left as free from taxes as possible that he may spend his remaining days with- out fear of his castle being taken from him when he may need it most.

OPA THE VICTIM MT. VERNON, IIl.—One Few! rrections to be sub-|} | j}about me!” of | girl friends frantic with jealousy, an Rathi LETTER FROM A LADY NINA LESLIE CALLEJA SREB BRB BURBS I had a very disturbing letter the other day. “Dear Miss Calleja,” it read, “T don’t know you, and you don’t: know me, but I have been read-* ing with a great deal of interest your stories in The Citizen, and ‘I believe that you must be a per- son of great sympathy and deep understanding, thé way you | write about people. Maybe you, j can help me, and tell me what to do. I am very unhappy, and I have fhade everyone around me unhappy too, because I don’t {seem to get over a love affair I \had. There doesn’t seem to be anything left that interests me at all. I just put everything into my love affair, and lived only told me that he wasn’t coming ; back, we’d never see each other again. Sometimes I feel that life is not worth living without him.! I have my family and my friends, but they can’t help me. can take his place. Can I keep on, being miserable like this, with | every day just the same and unfair that he could have loved! me, as he said he did, and yet be| able to go away and leave me. How can people love someon one day and the next day be able} to leave them and forget them? I can’t understand it at all. All I know is that I still love him, and always will, and that I am very unhappy. Please, Miss Calleja write a story and tell me what you think I ought to do. A very grateful friend, A G. ‘ * * Very well, Miss G. —I will ter was one of the very few sur- |prises I have had in my life. Al- so, it embarrassed me a little. First of all, I have always con-| sidered sorrow, unhappiness and heartbreak intensely personal things, that can’t be shared with} anyone, and with which no one on earth can help. And since they are so very personal, and nobody can possibly help you to bear them, how can you discuss them? It seems sort of indecent. I think that anyone who has had a truly great sorrow in their life will agree with me that you just have to contend with it alone, in dread- ful loneliness maybe, but alone. Secondly, Miss G. , Lam probably the .most utterly un- qualifiéd person in the entire world to give advice to other people, since my forty years have represented a series of the most thonumental mistakes ever made by a human being. Not that I am adverse to giv- the mistakes. Show me anyone who wont stop everything at the vice, asked or unasked. And so, for what it is worth, and I warn you it is worth very little, this | is what I would say to you: The average man has all the instincts of a tomcat, and noth- ing much can be done to cor. rect it, short of stern measur which, for the sake of posterity. I hesitate to recommend. Once you accept this premise, and reconcile yourself to its inevit- ability, you wont permit male! lapses to bother you very much. You don’t understand how anyone can love a person one day and leave them the next? I've seen it happen in the course of an hour, to say nothing of the life-time that is twenty-four hours. It sounds callous, of course, but it is an undeniable fact that the best, fas’ and most lasting cure ‘for the loss of a lover is the acquisition of another as fast as it can be decently managed. If you could get one, you can get another. Heaven knows. there's plenty of them. Only ... don't expect too much of them. The ideal arrangement would |be to have some man who is | practically out of his mind about yu, and of whom you are mod- | erately fond, in an offhand sort | of fashion that still leaves you |plenty of time for other things. If you are kind to him he will |be ever so grateful to you and break his neck trying to get you as much in love with him as he is with you. Secure in the knowl- jedge that you are being kind just out of the goodness of your heart, you in turn will get a smug, vir- ‘tuous sort of feeling, and will be able to go about saying patroniz- ingly to all your girl friends: “Of course I don’t love him, but lhe is so good, and he is so crazy This will drive the the victims of the new rent con-| because most of them are having trol regulations office, rent for its office would be in-| ,creased from $50 to $100.
