As long as jail remains jail some of those in-! side are sure to leave without notice unless watched. Loyalty keeps} few criminals behind bars. | What this, like other occurrences at Sing Sing, does indicate is} the growing need in prison reform of checking good intentions with | | fully. “But.” explained the Widow, as the Bachelor helped her into his car and started the machine for the Park, “lie assured me that It wasn't for | my beauty, nor my charm, nor my cleverness, but merely because he thought I would make him a SENSIBLE wife i “Ye gods!" exclaimed the Bachelor. “If he would tell you that before marriage, what would he have told you afterward!” 1 “Bxact rejoined the Widow, with a shudder, “Oh, these dear little ; Would-be ‘George Washingtons!’ They are the only people in the worl@ }that I ha is 4 “Don't inquired the Bachelor, in astonishment, H How One Hates Him!—— But—— ; eee! 166\E, ves, of course—figuratively, theoretically, and—and all th hard common sense. | \ knowledged the Widow, “But not while he’s lying to me. 2 : } | it depends on the KIND of liar he happens to be, F To any one who has visited Sing Sing recently, who has noted} lone of the swectest, finest, kindliest men L know is an incorrigible Har— [simply because he is too tender-hearted to tell anybody the disagreeable jtruth, He always goes to all kinds of pains to think out just the one nie thing to sa to you that will keep you eling most pleased with yourself, \ "Hat" exclaimed the Bachelor admiringly, "Goes about the world | spreading tness and light, eh | “Yes, and vanity, and self-esteem, and happiness!” declared the Widow “because the secret of being happy is to feel pleased with YOURSELF! “Great Scott!” scoffed the Bachelor, “How lappy most of us should bi And the only people we really dislike or fe ter all, are those who make us feel DiSpleased with ourselves!" continued the Widow, ignoring jthe cynicism; “those who make us feel cheap, or insignificant, or uncom- fortable, or passe, or fat, or unattractive, or uninteresting—those who per- sist in reminding us of our little shortcomings and in keeping our faults and | failings constantly before our minds, Isn't that true loo ee 1 the Bachelor with a groan, “And it's always our ‘deares | friends, who have promised to ‘love, honor and cherish’ us, Wh ‘ean't refrain from doing that sort of thing! They go on the basis that }truth is the greatest thing in the world, and ‘an honest man is the noblest | work of God,’ L suppose, and"— the faces of the men—how a cleaner, healthier color has replaced the} old pastiness and pallor, how signs of thought and purpose show in carriage and gait, how they walk with alertness instead of the old eodden, sullen dejection—there can be no doubt that the new system} doing something the old system utterly failed to do. Tn view of physical conditions at Sing Sing the improvement in] health is itself an extraordinary achievement. The prison structure! —with its mephitic atmosphere and its two-bunk cella, measuring| three and one-half feet between walls (!)—is what it long has been, a barbarous relic of mediaevalism that ought to be demolished to the} last stone. ( Publicity, as encouraged by Mr. Osborne, has done mach for Sing| Sing.

The person who robs you of your self- esteem, your self-confidence and your vanity is a whole lot more wicked and cruel than the professional burglar who merely takes your money and | your Jewelry, That's why so many married people look so droopy and hope- jless after a few years. It isn't the struggles or the responsibilities of mat- 4 \rimony; it's the constant battle to keep their vanity and self-esteem that ‘has worn them out, It's the effect of the two-edged criticisins and the bitter, burning truths they {cel privileged to exchange, on the ground that they [Nove one another.” The average wife gets ter awhile, that she never puts on a new hat or a new frock with any hope that it will look right or | please her husband.

Here, we believe, is where the zeal of the prison reformers! most needs restraint. | There is already too strong a sense of importance, too much self-pity and parade, too much footlight technique among Sing Sing; prisoners who are constantly encouraged to exhibit themselves ns “cases.” Impressionable people who listen to their stories and thrill with indignation at the instances of human injustice disclosed by these “wonderfully intelligent convicts” do not stop to think that it was often the same fascinating talents exercised to cheat, rob, betray PP: or ruin persons who trusted them that landed the possessors of ices ow gifts where they are. Some of the slickest talkers in the country are to be found in Sing Sing. What more natural? Prison reform has needed public interest and public sympathy— to the point of over-emphasis—to get it fairly started. But we hope} —— ,) it will soon be able to go on alone, without appealing indiscriminately | to sentiment that only tends to make its methods flabby and its re-| ’ | enlts confused.
