Clara Conner is her name. Mre, Gray knew her as @ young and beautiful gi of the perfect Irish type, with deep bi eyes and waving hair, almost black. ‘This was before she left Indianapolis be with her mother, more than twenty years ago, coming here to complete her musical education.

Gray refuses to divulge it. #8 does not know what has become of the man, Where and under what condl- tions the girl met him, Mre. Gray does not know, further than that they were engaged before he returned to Engtand. Miss Conner’s mother came here to be treated. She died in the Cancer hos- pital, on Second avenue, le Professor Parma‘ had fallen with his beautiful pupil at first He was then in middle a Misa Con- ner told him another had @ previous claim. At the death of the mother, the musician again pressed his ult, but the girl told him she was going to Enj land to wed her sweetheart. The pro. fessor wan in despair when Miss Con- ner departed. The musician thought of nothing but “ the girl ne loved. He was distrait and Jett most of his business to the men under him. Some months after her de- Parture the girl walked Into the house as if M were her home, as if the mu- atetan were her natural protector. She was the same beautiful he had ween only a few months before, but there was a strange light in her eye. Her manner was listless, her step was hating. Her mind was gone. “Whatever happened on that trip,” sald Mrs, Grey to-day “no one ever ‘knew.

They Would be better looking if they lis- toned more, They are nervous be- cause they much talking, and the energy they expena in this way should be used for other pur- poses.” | Thus declares Dr. Charlos M. Greene of the Harvard Medical School. -Evi dently Dr, Greene is not a suffragist, for he adds: ‘The Women of the days before the factories took the burden of housekeeping outside the home, kept | fully occupied, but they stayed at home in peace. They spent no energy tn Going to clubs and social affairs, and they had better health for it.” WOMEN ADVISED TO REST AN HOUR A DAY, Then the doctor gives his prescription. “What the woman of to-day needs is « daily quiet hour. Few realize how little | feat they take and how much they need it. Ido not aay that they should sleep, | but if they would only go away by themselves for one hour each day and |ie down and relax physically and men- tally, It would be of untold benefit to their nerves." When F had finished reading Dr, Greene's little diatribe, I happened to remember the recent remark of another Hostonlan, Mrs. Mary 1 T. Chapin, the cturer: “Nine-tenths of women are atter-brained.” Just now Mrs. Chapin {s giving a weekly series of talks in |New York, 80 I asked her to comment on Dr. Greene's theory, Which seemed jto have a certain resemblance to her own, “He is right in his main contes- tion,” che declared. “Women do talk too much. Until the average Woman gives up her never-ending Stream of dribbling, frivoling talk, shall never have true comrade- Ghip between men and women—that | 1s we shall never have happy mar- riages. “Ibut the remedy is not the return of @ old days of woman's immersion in {domestic as Dr. Greene implies. A wom- | an Is not by any means unmely to refral from talking because she h to eay, because her mind is absolutely untrained. Ae for the superior health of the woman with no interests outside her hom medical records prove this to be @ fallacy.
