LETTER FROM RICHARD SIMMERS TO BEATRICE GRIMSHAW. CONTINUED. Poor old Abev Einstein is trembling In the knees until he can hardly stand upright. He came and almost wept on iny shoulder this morning as fee explained to me that he was so deadly afraid Carton was going to marry Miss Perier and take her out of business. She has made him over a million dollars already on that picture. The other night at the Ambassador she insisted I should come over and sit at the table where she was dining with Carton. / I happened to mention you were perhaps the beet friend of John Alden Prescott and said I had received a letter from you recently in which you had told how devoted Leslie Prescott was to her adopted baby. I don’t know why, but at that moment I was looking straight at Miss WOMAN IS DEAD AFTER 17 YEARS AS INVALID Paralytic Stroke Fatal to Mrs. Sarah Scholl, 3118 Park Ave. Funeral arrangements for Mrs. Sarah Scholl, 64, who died Sunday night at her hniry* 3118 Park Ave., from the results of a paralytic stroke suffered last week, have not been completed.

Perier. For a second I thought she was going to faint. Carton seemed to have thought so. too, for I heard him say under his breath. “Buck up. Paula, buck up. You can’t help it now" The girl, with the greatest courage, did buck up. She lifted the saddest ••yes T have ever seen to mine and said. “I expect one of the penalties that "'cornea to a moving picture actress Is that she can not devote herself to anything but her work. Dick.” I wonder if I have told you that Paula has lost rll her French accent since she has been out here. I am rather sorry. She told me the other day that she has been studying every minute she has had away from the studio.

She is a great woman and I confess T was rather labbergasted when for the first time, at that table, she called me by my first name. I was also rather mystified by her assertion that a moving picture actress has no right to love and motherhood. I cited the fact that while many of the women of the screen had not married, they had adopted children, and some of them had told me they were sure they knew no difference in the love the'- bore these children than if they had been bom to them. Eagerly Paula turned to Carton end said, "Do you think T might adopt him? Do you think T might?” "T am afraid not. Paula.” he answ"'red somewhat coldly. She cowered down In her chair and said. "Take me home. Dick, take me home.” I thought ft was very strange that she should turn to me Instead of to Carton, and I remarked apologetically, “I will take Miss Perler do not object.” He answered most nonchalantly, and it seemed to me rather unfeel, ingly, "Not in the least, my dear fellow. not In the least.” I never felt so sorry for any woman in my life as T did for that poor girl on the way home. She wept until It seemed to me she would dlfeolvo In tears. T know now why she played that part in "Trumping His Heart" so well. Tt is because the maternal Instinct in her is greater than anything else. (Copyright. 1923, NEA Service. Tne > NEXT—The letter to Betrice Grimshaw continued—The finest girl alive.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Martha Lee Says — World’s Heart Softens at Christmas Season

This is the time of year when the Mary Magdalenes find the world, more ready to show mercy, less eager to “east the first stone.” It is the time, too, when they find sympathetic ears waiting to hear their stories and their warnings. Sometimes the world Is inclined to

scoff at the “reformed” one who tries to save others from his mistakes. “Oh, he’s had his fling, he can talk." Is the attitude many take. But not around Christmas time, when hearts are softened. One of the Mary Magdalenes has written to me. She does not whine or ask for mercy, because she Is happy now. All she wants is a chance to tell other girls her story. It is Christmas time, so perhaps they will listen. Helping Hand to Girls My Dear Miss Lee: I am 18 years old. a “reformed'' girl. I wish to (five a little advice to. girls from 13 to 18 years old Listen girls: I was only 13 when I started going with fellows. T was a socalled “flapper.” I rouged my pretty cheeks, put lipstick on my tiny lips and shadowing on my wicked eyes. (They were "wicked” then.i I was a terror to the neighborhood I know I caused my mother many heartaches, which I now rerret I went on with my ‘‘wild' ideas until I was IS. Then came the climax I went machine riding with an unknown fellow He had lots of money, and we had a swell time. Out in the country, the machine broke down and wo had to put up as man and wife at a farmhouse. X cried myself to sleep that night thinking about my mother. I went home the next day downhearted and disgraced My poor mother lay sick with worry and care She needed money and we didn't have any. So that night I went riding again T got the money hut that ended my “wild'' Ideas and my unnatural career. For the past two years I have been happy. Listen girls, don't give yourself the name and reputation I gave myself at 13. Girls i 13 to 15 think they are regarded as "cute If they put on lipstick and rouge. You can- ! not fool me girls. "Decent people do not care for make-up on saucy little girls faces. Only the so-called “sheiks" do I am not preaching but girls listen to your mothers and let them he first in your thoughts. It took me three years to realize I had a mother. If you must have excitement have it in a natural way. It is up to you. You do not have to believe this but those of you who do will surely profit MISS REFORMED Between Two Proposals Dear Miss Leo- Just s little adxdce. please. I hare been in Indianapolis three years When 1 had been here a month I met a young man. but I never thought very much about him and it got so I never saw him. Then I met a man twenty years older than I I have been going with htm almost a year, and ! like him very much The other night to my surprise, the nun I had forgotten to see me The first thing he said was that he wanted me to marry him. Now marriage has never entered my mind Five years ago I was divorced and I have felt that men were a!!

The Old Year —and The New In the year that is drawing to a close the Pennsylvania Railroad has enjoyed the greatest patronage in its history. It has successfully moved a greater tonnage and carried more passengers than any other railroad system in America. 1% Is deeply grateful for this substantial manifestation of faith and confidence on the part of the public. It is profoundly appreciative also of the spirit of good will and friendly cooperation which in increasing measure and at all times has been shown by the public to the railroad in connection with the working out of traffic problems of mutual interest. It pledges itself anew to do everything in its power to provide adequate and efficient transportation service in the year 1924. To all of Its patrons and friends it extends every good wish for a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Pennsylvania H Railroad System ® Hm Stamford Railr yad of the World

the same. But. as the years roll on, I feel more alone and would like to have a home. For various reasons, I know I can never have a home with tbs older man but he is good and kind. I have been all alone in the world for nine years. What am Ito do? Both men declare they love me. The older man has everything to make any woman happy, while the young man has nothing but love to offer. _ I will be 24 years old in February. WANDA. After one unfortunate experience in marriage, you should know better than even to consider remarriage until you are sure of your heart. You should know, too. that “everything to make any woman happy” would be as nothing without love, but that, on the other hand, a woman takes a big chance if she marries a man who can not support her. Starting Young Dear Martha Lee: I am a girl of 15 and had been going with a follow claiming to bo 23. I do not believe he is that old. When I first met tdm I was too young to have dates regularly, and. besides. I thought him too old. 1 finally gave him a dal • and went with him about two and a half One night T had a date with him and he did not come, but called ur> the next day and said he had had to work There was a girl in the room with him when he called and he kept talking to her This T did not like He asked whether he could bring me home from a public ballroom Saturday night. He said be would be tiler* by 1“ 30 1 waited until 11. then left with another boy. I saw- the boy 1 was supposed to meet, standing on the corner I spoke and passed on I have not seen him since. Did I do wrong to make another date? I sometimes wonder whether I ought, not to write to him, tut 1 won’t. He must come to me first Am I right? I liked htm very much, but I never liked any boy well enough to let going with him Interfere with my health or my school work, and I don't believe in running after a fellow. for I haven’t the time. ALMOST SIXTEEN Dear child. If you really mean what you say about your health and your 1 books, forget about this man or hoy. whichever be is You still arc too j young to have “regular dates Soaking Clothes Soaking clothes for a long time la : not advisable, for while this loosens the dirt it passes throughout the i fabric. An hour is quite sufficient.

\Dv CCRobinson EUGENIC IMPROVEMENT mT may be truly said that eugenic improvement is attained through the control of heredity. Again, it is understood that by heredity is meant the action of elements which control the development of the individual and determine his constitution or makeup. The laws of nature which determine this aetjon are known now far better than ever before. There is a rather mistaken idea, too often loosely accepted by the public, that eugenic improvement refers to sex hygiene of the race alone- Sex hy-

Drink Plenty of Water It Is Necessary for Good Health Three-fourths of the human body Is water that is being continuously eliminated, and for health’s sake, must be replenished. Dieticians generally agree that the normal grown person should drink one-half gallon of water each day. EAT LESS Many of us stuff ourselves with food and starve ourselves for water, and then wonder why we have headaches, lack energy and feel generally tired. * Drink Plenty of Water Take a drink of water when you first get up in the morning. Warm water is good then. Drink - water with your Breakfast. Drinking water at meals is not harmful, but an aid to digestion. Revive your energy in the middle of the forenoon with a glass of water. Drink water at Lunch, and along about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, it will help you finish the day’s work. Before you go to bed, be sure that you have completed your quota of one-half gallon. Indianapolis Has a Pure Water Supply From the babe in arms, to the very oldest, the water furnished by this Company is a valuable aid in maintaining health. It has been purified by means that have been tried for years and found satisfactory. It is protected every moment in its travel to your home.

giene is, of course, a part of the general consideration to be dealt with in eugenic improvement, but it is by no means the whole subject. Unfortunately, It Is one part which seems to be unduly emphasized when the subject of eugenics is mentioned. In fact, many Ignorant people are opposed to any spread of knowledge of eugenic improvement because they regard it as not proper knowledge for boys and girls of school age. It is a subject which should be accepted as vital to our homes and race. The war records of young men and women show what may be expected if we rely upon the uninformed publicists for information. By eugenic improvement is meant the use of special medical and scientific knowledge which will aid people In the ordinary walks of life to better and improve their living conditions, themselves and their offspring.
