GETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON TO JOHN AUDEN PRESCOTT, CONTI Si HD Os course, you know that Ruth ard Waiter Burke came up on the train and they got here this morning. Poor I.eslie wouldn’t even see Ruth. I think you have brtfken her heart. Nobody mentions you. Jack, and l your friend feel that I am suffering some <>f tli“ obloquy that rests upon your head. The funeral services will be tomorrow. I have never yet seen hearts so tom as are Mrs. Hamilton's and Karl's. Mrs. Hamilton allowed me to read the letter to her from Alice. It was not very long. It simply asked her mother to forgive her. Said she would not think of taking her life if she were not sure that by living she would do something that would make her mother more unhappy. She told her that she loved her better than she loved life itself. Con frequently she was giving up life for her and I>eslie and Karl. I am doing everything I can. Not for your sake for 1 tell you honestly that it will lie a long while before I lielleve that you haven’t a streak of yellow running down your backbone T can not conceive that you. Jack, that I have known all my life could do the thing that you have done. If I were a woman every spark of love that I had for a man such as you would be burned up In hatred and shame for you. As I said before, what are a thousand dollars beside the humiliation she is suffering? T confess I am at a loss when I think of It, I will say this for your secretary, Mrs. Atherton. She has given her opinion of you In a few very forcible words. She took me aside last night and wanted to know why you had not come. She wanted to know if you were drunk, or were you also going mad. Said she had always thought you had the "guts” to take things like a man and she believed that it was only selfishness on your part to get out of something that would he disagreeable to you. There is more to that woman than I thought, and I am beginning to like her very much Ruth Burke hasn’t mentioned you since she arrived. I am writing this letter in the library and I have Just heard one of the servants announce to Mrs. Burke that Mrs. Prescott wishes to see her. If you take my advice you will hire another airplane and come over and retrieve yourself If possible. Why Is It that no grief, no sorrow, no joy, no pleasure—no experience in life—can l>e great enough not to be measured by money by the modern mercenary mind? SYD. Copyright. 1924. NEA Service, Inc.)

Eve Must Take Part of Blame With Snake
One wife, evidently feeling very virtuous, writes: “If old married men would give to their wives to run their homes, the money they are willing to spend on girls they work with, there would be fewer divorces.” No doubt.
But —this very virtuous wife admits she accepted a Christmas sift, from her married employer last year. She is afraid he will send her another one this year, and, now that she is married and in love with her husband, she is afraid of the consequences. With an easy-going conscience, she shifts all responsibility to her employer. Possibly she reasons that he would have given his attentions to some other girl, if not to her. Probably he would. But that does not exempt her from blame for encouraging him. Eve did not escape censure or punishment for accepting the apple. Shifting Blame D#ar Miss Lee Do you think it is wrong- for married men to give Christmas presents to jr:r!p? My old boss gave me a ni>’e present last year. This fellow’s wife told my husband all she g-ot was dirty names and she cried all Christmas day. My husband thinks I am awful because he found out this fellow had taken mo home in his machine. I have not been married lorisr and am afraid this fellow will pet mo something, for Christmas a#ain and if my husband i
■Martha Lee Says
finds it out I know there will be a separation. This is my second marriage. If old married men would give to their wives, to run their homes, the money they are willing to spend on girts they work with, there would be fewer divorces. My first husband gave me nothing. I left him without a heartache. But I do love my present husband with all my soul, and I want a real home, not just a place to stay. Any servant has that. He is jealous of my old boss without cause. Ido not care anything about him. He Is just a man any woman could flatter Into anything. A real woman could not truly love that kind. Please give m- your advice. I am 22. WORRIED. As long as you accept presents from married men you share blame for any unhappiness they cause their wives. The fact that this particular man is a flirt that any one could flatter does not excuse you. I do not know why you fear this Christmas, if you do what you know you should. Send hack his gift, if you lecolve one. and your husband will not have reason to doubt you. GEORGE: What you want Is a matrimonial bureau. I do not conduct one. Too bad, George.
