But these little week-ends of vicarious domesticity, and ‘sweet home itfe,’ with my happily married friends, are teaching me oceans of things, And to think,” she added, “that I used to envy them! And pity myself for | being @ lone, lorn widow!" “Great heaven: exclaimed the Bacheior heiplessiy. “Why don't you begin at the beginning, inst the end!

Yesterday it was a representative of the New” York Board of Trade and Transportation who startled the Board with \ the statement that if the court house site, which cost $12,000,000, i ‘were to be sold now it would bring the city no more than $3,000,000. The latter figure may be only an estimate. But nobody veut tthe truth lies far in that direction. “The question is,” says Mayor Mitchel, “whether or not the city | an afford the sum of money necessary, and whether or not the neces-— sity for a court house is great enough at this time to spend that sum.” The question is rather whether the city can afford to let the, millions it has already sunk in the scheme go on indefinitely piling | charges upon its taxpayers without bringing them an iota of return. The $12,000,000 site is no dividend paying investment. Nobody} likes to think what it might have to be sold for. The cost of the building itself hae been cut down from $18,000,000 to $7,500,000, {The only way out is ahead, It’s too late to turn back—too costly to} } delay. . — last resort—when every other means of impressing me that they were gay, gay heart-breakers had failed, You see, all my friends . are lovely—and all their husbands are lovely too, That is, they are nice, jevoted, successful, average husbands, Hut, did you ever notice how @ man brightens and changes and becomes completely metamorphosed when his wife has another woman around the house; how he begins to scintillate and grow clever and cynical, and worldly, and to express ideas that nobody, inoluding himself, ever knew he posses: before? He seems to be con- etantly apologizing for being a good, steady husband, and trying subtly and desperately to impress you with what a gay dovil he really is, and what a wide swathe he could cut with the girls, if he were not ted for Ife, and #0 ‘honorable!’ He even tells you in detail of how he is ‘pursued’ by the fair sex; and makes little revelations that astound his wife and bore her visitor to death. achelor never boasts of his fascination» and ri t. f %; 5 1 ___—_ Lieut.

EAL ESTATE in and about the city has begun to collect its percentage of prosperity; $150,000,000 has already gone into construction, investment purchases, mortgage loans, etc., rep- | resenting realty development in the metropolis and its suburbs. A notable feature of this activity is the fact that American mil- lionaires, instead of putting their profits into yeohts or expensive so- journs in Europe, are spending the money on estates and country places in their home land. & is estimated that $35,000,000 has been j spent during the past year in building and purchasing operations in | the country residence section of Long Island. Westchester County has absorbed another $15,000,000. All this means that many wealthy American families whose na- tive shores have rarely seen them from May to October now plan to get what they can out of life in the United States, at least until the yr war is over. If they acquire the habit it may be longer. This is good news for architects, contractors, carpenters and bricklayers. It is also good news for thousands of local butchera, bakers and grocers to whom it means first rate business through the summer and autumn. When the carpenter and the grocer flourish the whole community thrives. The country has seen prosperity before. But when has it ever “[ should SAY NOT!” exclaimed the Bachelor virtuously. | “No,” rejoined the Widow sweetly. “Ife is too busy tr ‘each girl that she is the ‘only one.’ So he kveps all hi | club or the cafe or the office, where the mon have to listen to it | “Strike one!” murmured the Bachelor, sotto vove “But a married man insists on try! and on trying to impress them with what « Maud, or Marie IS to have such a faselnat | worldly-wise woman-charmer for a husb but he can't refrain from painting himself carn |as Mary's little lamb, but nothing can stop hi sheep.
