HIS ss the letter of a very morbid but a very une happy woman, That her unhappiness is mainly, the result of her own foolishness does not lessen : Not that the feet have been utterly neglected in fte/dearees I play. There is the story of a crack player who used The minute a woman admits that love ts the only ‘ : i thing she thinks about she might as well quit thinks whose ankles | to disable a prostrate opponent apoa ¢ jumped as the teams went down with the ball. President Eliot, of Harvard, denounced college 1oot- | ball scathingly last season. Professor Weatherly, of the University of Inaiana, | suggested steps “with a view to the ultimate abancon- ment” of the game in its prevailing form. These were but two of many faculty expressions which were echced by students and observers and in conspicuous editorial columns. There have been no changes in the general playing | rules sufticient to prevent in 1905 the “rough-he performances of 1904. The Football Rules Commit- tee voted no relief at its meeting in June. That committee is, however, an irresponsivle body with as little of actual authority as of evident courage. Its failure to act will ex- | cuse no college for an apparent consent to carry the football game along in its lowest estate of brutality. Besides being too rough the American game has become dull. President Eliot likened it to war, and so it is as regards the intention to disable the enemy. But in point of spectacular effect war has all the ad- | vantage. | To a man up a tree much may appear of what is going on in a battle. Only the keenest expert will comprehend the ins and outs of the mass plays on the gridiron. Of the many thousands of persons who go to the great football gaines in the fall the larger numbers are merely following the flags of | their favorite colleges. Most of the remainder are following an estab- lished cusiom, Those who are moved by love of the colors suffer for a cause; the others do not get the worth of théir money or of their time. As for the men who play football, it has been a stock argument | forces. to this pleasant view of the case. The progress of the football season of 1905 will be watched with a critical interest not confined to college circles. Ina way the university men set an example and a pace for the myriad players of the country’s Seasons recently past, the time will have come indeed for the drastic | &ction to which college faculties have already been urged.

The writer of this letter made the mistake of marrying too young. We cannot eat our cake at seventeen and expect to have it at thirty-two, The thing for her to do is to quit thinking about her troubles and cre- ate new Interests for herself. She ought to find in the mental and physical rearing of her children sufficient outlet for any amount of energy. Let her take up physical culture, and with the building of a beautiful body exor- cise the troubles born of idjeness and morbidness. ‘A perfectiy healthy human being who gets enough exercise {s in no danger of being too much in love with anybody. If she will go out on these fresh autumn afternoons and take a five-mile walk through the woods she will not think of love when she gets home. More likely her thoughts will centre on beef steak and onions or Irish stew, possibly not an exaited sub- stitute bw! at least one thet can never make her unhappy. ' Does the author of this letter keep her children clean, well-dressed an@ healthy? Does she know enough to answer the questions they ask her daily? If not, let her set about learning. She will find the answer to her | problem not in a clandestine love affair with another man, as the prompt- ings of her morbid mind suggest, but in fulfilling the great work nature has | given her of rearing her children to something higher and better than she | has known herself. Women are absolutely dependent years, but motherhood emancipates on man for happiness in their earlier them. And no woman has any right to want to kill herself because of the defection of a husband while little children remain for her to guard and rear. if this dejected wife will stop thinking so much about her husband he will begin to think a little more about her. j It is more than probable that | What Would Become of Itt To the Editor of The Evening World If a shell was shot directly up into |the: air and beyond the attraction of the earth would it return to the earth | Mystery of the Black B: To the Editor of The Evening World: There !s a young man who lives in our house There are a great many others just lke this young man, | Who spend all thelr Sun | ing the can, | But if they had brains they would save up those dimes, And enlarge thelr bankrolls against the ‘3 a-work- « Letters from the People. would ask that some kind reader might hurry and suggest a remedy, as I know very severe case of the same kim. eTe are two young ladies In a certain office dullding who have acquired the that they were students in the best possible school of self-control.
