LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT TO SYDNEY CARTON Great Scott, Syd, you always did manage to hand me the biggest possible kick and I believe your last one is almost more than I can get away with. You sit down and write me with the greatest sang-froid that Paula wants to make my boy a rich man and you telLlt in a way that almost makes me believe it, for you not only to believe it, but expect me to accept the money for little Jack. Queer girl that Paula Perier and she is always getting me in some queer kind of a mix-up. To think that she is pulling down $3,000 a week In moving pictures and that she wants to give little Jack half of It. Goo ’ Lord, oan you not see she wants to give it to me and takes this way to do It? " And you, old fellow, who have always been so pernickity, advise me to take it. Say, what is the matter with you. old man? Don't you know it just isn’t being done in our set this year? * Paula’s sudden dislike for Sally Atherton rather amuses me. In fact I am enjoying it quite as much as I did her sudden liking for Leslie. Strange as it may’ seem to you the two women are a great deal alike. Leslie would do the same quixotic things that Paula has. In fact, I think she has. for you know in your heart that Paula's giving the baby away was no stranger than Leslie's adopting it. I am awfully glad you are coming soon. Things are still rather strained over Leslie bobbing her hair, but ; t did rather make me ridiculous wren I found that old maid of a *de;.r Priscilla Bradford’ had bobbed hers. Leslie persists that she is going to invite her for the wedding anniversary. I cannot' understand why sKe does this. My business is going on pretty fine, Syd. Since I have come to myself and let my stock gambling alone, I have made quite a little money. pay off my indebtedness, and before long I will have enough to make a tidy little investment in something. I suppose you know that "Walter Burke is on his way home and Leslie tells me that he comes to marry Ruth Ellington. I can’t conceive of a marriage that could seem any more incongruous, but Ruth seems very happy about it. On the other hand, Leslie is quite unhappy because she is afraid that Burke will take Ruth away for another long trip. Sometimes, although I kind of hate to confess it, I am a little jealous of Ruth Ellington. She has made good, however. In her lingerie shop, something Leslie never lets m4‘ forget. Every time I praise Sally Atherton's business ability, she comes back with some wonderfulcoup Ruth hasenade in the shop. It seems she has made 100 per cent in the last six months. "What do you suppose my wife said to me about that shop the other r ,y. It was since she came home from New York that she asked “Jack, if Ruth went away and left her shop would you let me buy it?" Os course I said. “Certainly not.” Must close and you may tell Paula for me that there is nothing doing. Since I have acknowledged my son I am letting no man or woman support him. S}o long, old fellow. See you soon. JACK. (Copyright, 1324—NEA Service, Inc.) NEXT: Letter from Leslie Prescott to Mrs. Joseph Graves Hamilton.

Martha Lee Says Today’s Mother Must Stand Comparison Test

The discussion was of mothers. These very modern young ladies did not stand off in awe of their parents. They loved them, hut they analyzed and criticized them, as is the way of the modern child. “Mother and dad were on some party last night,' 5 said the first, with the air of sophistication she patterned after this same mother. “We saw them, and they chased "me home. I knew fliey wouldn’t be in for ages, so I took my time. They can’t put anything over on me.’’

“I wish-it was that easy with me,” the second sighed. “Why, my mother’s so strict I have to slip off to have a date. The most important word in her vocabulary is ‘don’t.’ ” The third was different from the others —not so “wild.” “Sheiks” didn't care for her, but most other' people did. . , “My mother’s almost like a sister,” she said. “She always seems to understand, eveiyvhen I do things of ye hich she doesn’t approve very much. And I just can’t hide things from her; sfiy knows right away. “She wants.me to have a good time. But every once in a while she says: ’A good time never is the kind that makes you- bored with life and seeking anew thrill by the time you should be finding it most glorious.’ “She trusts me so, I just see her eyes every time I think about doing anything ‘off color.' “She's kinda hard to live up to. But I’d do anything to be like her some day.” -- The other two looked amzed. “fJosh, I didn't know they made mothers like that,,’ one of them said.

Bills are now being rendered within five days after the water meter is read. This is a change from the former practice, where meters were read from the 10th to the 20th of one month, and the bill rendered on the first of the following month. This earlier billing gives a close check on water consumption and will aid the consumer in reducing waste from defective fixtures or other sources. The day of the month on which your meter is read is shown on the bill, and the meter will be read on approximately, the same date of each successive month. Please read your own meter on the reading date and compare with the meter reader’s records.
