Consider her ways, and be envious. For a real widow may suffer and be sed of heart, but a Db VORCEE is a cheerful loser, and a little decree is n comforting thing. Verily, verily, she passeth‘over the Great Divide into the Happy Hust ing Grounds; for she hath ALL the bt of widowhood, and unto these is added alimony. She hath a it” which maketh hee Diquant; as @ sealed verdict she ‘rouseth a man’s curiosity; her future is a fascinating conundrum. She telleth him her “troubles”; she yearneth for “consolation.” A tear falleth from her right eye while a wink twinkleth in her left. She appealeth unto man for sympathy; she getteth upon his eaey side, She is SO helpless! Behold, the heart of the genus homo !s her planola, whercon she playe eth whatsoever tune she | Yea, though she hath made ‘TWO men miserable, yet will a third cheay fully follow in their footsteps; for proposals are her daily portion, And WHY is this? Verily, a single dagsel {s an unknown quantity, and a widow Is a precious heirloom, but a divorcee is a hand-me-down, even a discard. Yet, even as a child delighteth to play with matches, and yearneth after those things which will not agree with It, so doth’a grown man de light to follow a danger signal. Lo, he is as a babe that putteth its fingers into the flame to see if it will burn; as a terrier that pursueth a tantalizing bee and is STUNG. Go to! I say unto thee, a woman may divorce ONE husband for a good reason; but she that divorceth TWO husbands !s a fool, a bad chooser or a faflure, who knoweth not how to keep that which she hath caught. For the Garden of Love is not ALL composed of temons! And a husband is, peradventure, no worse than other men. Verily, verily, to collect books is a sign of culture. To collect jewels is a sign of wealth. But to collect HUSBANDS Is a sign of Paresis! For there is no difference in them, and there are no “prizes” among , them; and at the Matrimoniel Exchange what woman hath ever drawn a BARGAIN? . Yet unto her that hath HAD shall be given; and to make all men fiers thee thou must first make ONE man unhappy! Selah. ERE ARE THE CITY PLANNERS? ‘0 ONE can blame Brooklynites for their vigorous protest ageinst the third tracking of the Fulton Street elevated. To darken and demoralize that busy thoroughfare with further masses overhead steel is a crime against civic decency. What makes the worse is that the B, R. T. has in some devious way secured right to use the third track structure for hauling freight—to be | to the L8ng Island Railroad. ‘The whole project is a ghastly instance of the way the city can be defaced for the advantage of any public service corporation power- jenough to get what it wants at the expense of the public. ) Bxperience with subways has convinced most New Yorkers thet am unnecessary foot to elevated tracks is to take « step back- in civilization. {What does the much-lauded City Planning Committee eay ebcut eordid proposal to ruin Fulton Gtreet?

The Jarr Family By Roy L. s McCardell Copyright, 1014, ty The Prem Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World). UT what I REALLY called in to see you for,” remarked Mrs, .Mudridge-Smith, after ghe and Mrs. Jarr had pulled all thetr friends to pieces, “was to ask you to come downtown with me to leave a bird of paradise with a milliner, I want a witness.” Mrs, Jarr hed no bird of paradise aigrette, wo she aid not understand. “Way, you have to have a witness these days if you leave an aigrette ‘with @ milliner,” her friend explained. “@ince the law has gone into effect that forbids aigrettes being imported, bird of paradise and other rare plumes are worth their weight in diamonds. Bo, if you leave an algrette with a miliiner you have to count the feath- ere and have a witness. If-you don't, you will find they have stolen half of the plumage when you get it back.” “Ia that eo? asked Mre.Jarr. And then her friend launched lugubriously into a recital of the burdens the rich endure. “My dear,” said Mrs, Mudridge- Smith, “it's dreadful to have any- thing. If you have an automobile, people cross right in front of it in the hope of getting run over, so they caneue youfordamages, Ifyou have valuable jewelry you wish to have cleaned or the setting tightened, you can never tell if fawy diamonds and imitation stones jen't been subst tuted; and now if you see a new hat shape that you wish to trim with your rare aigrette you have to be 60 careful.” “1 should think you would patronize firet-clase places where you woul be afraid of your diamonds being a ott or your feathers stolen,” sug- Mra. Jarr, “But you can't pick up bargains in responsible places,” replied Mrs, Mud- ridge-Smith. “And I have seen the most fetobing shape in a cheap store window; just what I want So I am taking my aigrette there to have it put om the shape and I want you as witness when I count the sprays of | 2ospl! feathers, There are a hundred and forty of them, and tf I count them tn your presence these shop people I am suspicious of will Bave to send the trimmed hat back to me with all the sprays. Madam Cantobello, the great opera singer, had half her plume stolen in one of those places, and when she sued ashe couldn't prove a the people you are dealing with can’t be trusted?” suggested Mrs, Jart. “Can't they substitute inferior sprays of feathers in your aigrette, and say they were what you teft with them?” “Oh, dear!" whimpered Mrs, Mud- ridge-Smith. “Now you've epoiled my day. Even if they don't do that 1 will always believe they did.” “Why can’t you buy the shape and trim the hat yourself?” Mra. Mudridge-Smith gazed at Mrs. Jarr with a “work is for workmen’ on her face, “I trim a asked. ‘T'd be afraid it Would be found out. I dare not.” “You dare not?” “Why, I have a maid, you know,” Mra. Mudridge-Smith explained. “She would see me trimming my own hat. She would tell somebody. The word would go around that I had to trim my own hi it would reach the com- mercial agencies, might mean the ruin of my husband's credit. Why, times are so hard we have to live moet extravagantly, you know that?” But Mrs. Jarr had to admit she didn’t know it. bow I bought my new elec- jam and my long seal.

I'll order you a pearl necklace, too. If one tries to retrench these days it will soon get to be known, suspicion will be engendered, And if I go to the bank and ask for a larger line of credit, and it is known we are spending money lavishly, I'll wet it” “I never thought of that.” “That's why Mr. Jarr will always be a poor man, my husband say replied Mrs, Mudridge-Smith. “Mr. Jarr tries to live within his means. He never asks for credit, and eo he never has any.” “Btill, I wish we were rich.” “You're better off sharing your rich friends’ possessions without the re- sponsibility,” advised her friend. “My husband eays he wishes he wes poor and could drop into Gus’s place and enjoy himself, ike Mr. Jarr.
