THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1920, French Want Westerners to Wed Girls PARIS, Sept. 2.—Prof. Paul Car not of the Paris faculty of medicine today advocated a scheme under gov ernment auspices to attract mar riageable young men to France from Western Amertea and Canada, where, | ho says, males eligible for matrimony exceed the number of such females.

Drink always rubbed ifim the right way, and he would reach his roome as jolly as a sandboy, Jessie would meet bim at the door, and generally they would dance some insane kind of a rigadoon about the floor by way of greeting. Once when Bob's feet became confused and he tumbled headiong over a nearby foot-stool Jeanie laughed so heartily and long that he had to throw all the couch pillows at her to make her hush, In such wise life was apeeding for them on the day when Bob Babbitt first felt the power that the gifue gi'ed him. But let us get back to our lamb and mint sauce. When Bob got home that evening he found Jensie in a long apron cut ting up a lobster for the Newbure Usually when Bob came in mellow from his hour at the bar his welcome was hilarious, though somewhat tino tured with Scotch smoke. By sereams and snatches of song and certain audible testimonials of domentic felicity was his advent pro- claimed. When she heard his foot on the stairs the old maid in the hall room always stuffed cotton into ber ears, At first Jeanie had shrunk from the rudeness and flavor of these spiritual greetings. but as the fog of the false Bohemia gradually encompassed her she came to accept them as love's true and proper greet ing. Bob came tn without a word smiled, kimed her neatly but noise leasly, took up a paper and sat down. In the hall room the old maid held her two plugs of cotton poised, filled with anxiety. Jeanie dropped lobster and knife and ran to him with frightened eyes. “What's the matter, Bob, are you mn “Not at all, dear.” “Then what's the matter with your “Nothing.~ Hearken, brethren.

When dinner was on tho table she fot Out the bottle of Scotch and the glannen, Bob declined. “Tell you the truth, Joss,” he said "ve eut out the drink. Help your self, of course, If you don’t mind I'l try some of the seltzer straight.” “You've stopped drinking?’ she naid, looking at him steadily and un smilingly, “What for?” “It wasn't doing me any good,” said Bob, “Don’t you approve of the ideat™ Jonsie rained her eyebrows and one shoulder slightly. “Entirely,” she said, with a aculp- tured smile, “I could not conscien ously advise any one to drink or smoke, or whistle on Sunday.” ‘The meal was finished almost in silence. Bod tried to make talk, but his efforts lacked the stimulus of previous evenings, He felt mixer able, and once or twice his eye wan dered toward the bottle, but each lous friend sounded in bis ear, and bis mouth set with determination. Jonsie felt the change deeply, The emence of their lives seemed to have departed suddenly. The restiens fever, the false gayety, the unnatural ex cltement of the shoddy Bohemia in which they had lived had dropped away in the space of the popping of a cork, She stole curious and for lorn glances at the dejected Bob, who bore the guilty look of at least a wife-beater or a family tyrant. After dinner the colored maid who came tn daily to perform much chores red away the things, Jennie, with 4n unreadable countenance, brought jback the bottle of Scotch and the glasses and a bow! of cracked ice and |met them on the table. “May I ask.” she said, with some of the ice in her tones, “whether I am to be included in your sudden spasm of goodness? If not, I'll make one for myself. It's rather chilly this evening, for some reason.” |_ "Oh, ‘come now, Jen,” | good-naturedly, “don't be too rough jon ma Help yourself, by all means | There's no danger of your overdoing it. But I thought there was with jme: and that's why I quit. Have yours, and then let's get out the |banjo and try over that new quick step.” “I've beard.” sald Jeasie in the |tones of the oracle, “that drinking alone is a pernicious habit. No, I don’t think I feel lke playing this jevening. If we are going to reform |we may as well abandon the evil habit of banjo-playing, too.” And then Bob laid down bis paper and got up with a rtrange, absent look on hin face and went behind her chair and reached over her shoulders, taking her hands in his, and laid his face clone to hers. In & moment to Jemsle the walls of the seine bung room vanished, and abe saw the Sullivan County bills and rilis, Bob felt her hands quiver in his as he began the verag from old Omar; i anid Bob “Come, ffl the Cup, and tn the Fire of Spring The Winter Garment of Repentance fling The Bird of Tie has but a little way To fly—and Lo the Bird is on the Wing” And then he walked to the table and poured a stiff drink of Scotch into a glasn, But in that moment a mountain breeze had somehow found its way in Bohemia. Jensie leaped and with one fierce sweep of her hand sent the bottle and glasses lit around Rob's neck, where it met ite mate and fastened tight. “Oh, my God, Bobbie—not that verse—I eo now.
