Ltft/e 7aZ/cs fry Beatrice Fairfax The trial of the school teacher in \v isconsin for killing the wife of the man with whom she was Infatuated, on the plea of "love gone mad," ought to serve as a lesson to men and women generally. She lost her heart —and head—to a veterinary surgeon. He had a wife who declined to give him up. The school teacher shot her, then made an unsuccessful attempt to take her own life. Could she have thought that she would take the legal place of the woman she killed? Imagine two people sitting at a prosaic meal like breakfast, with a hideous domestic skeleton like that grinning at them from behind the coffee cups or the cereal dish. There would be all sorts of impos sible associations; the way the pres-1 ent wife poured coffee would recall the coffee-pouring methods of her predecessor. Then the husband would remember other things—th way his wife looked after she was k Hied, her burial, the trial, ,the wrangle of the lawyers, the drag ging into broad daylight of every Incident of the school teacher's life. The "man in the case" will proba bly say, when he thinks these things over, "not for me." He will seek green fields and pastures new, and If he marries again he will marry some young girl whose his tory is still a white page. If, however, he should happen to be the one man in a thousand and marry the woman who killed for his sake—no one need envy their domesticity. There will be too many ranting skeletons around that household to make it livable. Life is so magnificently worth while, such a splendid fish pond in which all sorts of prizes are com ing to properly baited hooks, that one is tempted to ask why human creatures will throw everything to the discard for a moment of riotous emotion. For In the beginning, these prand passions are within the grasp of sane people. If tbi school teacher had been wise sh would have realized she was beclssnhig too fond of another woman's husband and would have sought new surroundings. Wau kesha, Wisconsin, may be a highly attractive town, but it is not the world. The woman who killed her rival was a teacher in the high school; it is not difficult for a wo man thus equipped to find a new situation. She might .have gone to a big city where there would be greater opportunities than in a little town in the Middle West. She mighti even have gone to France and work ed for heroic people. If she had thrown herself into such work, heart and soul, "fate" would have dealt happiness instead of tragedy. But she stayed where everything' served to send her case from bad I to worse; she stayed where she saw the man, she saw his wife, the sight bf whom goaded her to jealous fury; the very street and houses served to recall her unfortunate love affair. 'And one fine day she fired the pis tol. Mistake piled on mistake.

Some years ago I was in Pisa, the| Italian city famous for its leaning tower. An American couple in the same hotel spoke to me in the lobby, and asked if I would sit at; their table. I didn't "know them, or anything about them, and their only excuse was that we all spoke English. I don't remember whether they culled themselves Smith, Jonesi or Robinson; it, doesn't matter. They! spent all their time asking questions' like, "Are there many changes in! Forty-second street? We hear the. theaters have all moved uptown." i Living in the heart of a wonder-1 ful old medieval town, their most| treasured collection was a bundle I of Amerifcan postcards that fellow travelers whom they had met in Pisa had sent back to them. They seemed famished for talk— commonplace talk about restaur ants, shops, hats, fashions, any thing on earth but about the coun try where they told me they had lived for ten years. I wondered continually why, when they craved for Broadway, they con tinued to etop in Pisa; then, one day, came the explanation. The woman lent me a book; on the fly leaf was a name with which, the readers of newspapers were familiar ten years ! back; both had families, from which they had eloped. Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX HE MEANS TO BE UNSELFISH DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have been going about with a man a year next month. We are insepar- ' able and enjoy each other's company and always have good times. We are very much in love with *each other, and he has said so many times some day you and I are going to very happy, of course, referring to mar riage, but he has never asked me to marry him. I often wonder if he takes for granted that we are engaged. This man is in the service, and I have felt that this was his reason for not asking me during war time. BETTY C. I don't think men very often take engagements for granted. Probably he means to spare you and feels that it is not right to call up to much feeling just now when he is going overseas, and you might have to pay so dearly for your love. Of course, any woman who is fine and strong Is ready to pay and to stand by her sol dier boy and sacrifice good times and comfort and peace of mind for him— but men.do not know that. Perhaps tact and sweetness and a little discus sion of the problem of soldier mar riages can be managed. You ought te be able to talk the thing out with your boy aqd to make it all clear. LIFE'S PROBLEMS i FLYING WITH SHAFFER ARE DISCUSSED AN UNSATISFACTORY FIGHT By MRS. WILSON WOODROW LETTERS FROM A DAUPHIN' BOY TO HIS MOTHER The idle girl is now almost as I rare as a roc's egg and all signs I point to her complete disappear : ance. She will soon be as extinct as i the dodo. And strange to say, the passing of I "Lydia Languish" is marked by no ! funeral bells. She belonged to yes terday, and she passes unregretted into its mists. In Wisconsin the Speakers' Bu reau is planning a great offensive. A special drive is to be made against "the idle girl, the girl with no defi nite plans for the future, the girl who is not now preparing herself for useful work." She is not to be per mitted to feel that the obligation to help win the war rests only on her brother. Her responsibility is just as great. And if the Speakers' Bureau has anything to do with it, she will have no chance to shirk. If one can judge by the spirit of women all over the country, there will be no counter offensive tj thest drives. The drone in the hive is El ready and on her own initiativt transforming herself into the busy bee. The 1918 young woman is no longer just a play-girl. She is a work-and-play girl, and she enjoys one quite as wholeheartedly as she does the other. But she is at pres ent considerably more interested in the work than In the play. Not only because ( the work leads her into many new fields, but also because in doing it she is helping to "carry on" in the great cause for which her brothers and sweethearts are fight ing. The spirit of the hour is strlkinglyi reflected in the letters I am receiv ing, especially from those young girls. A year ago letters written oy girls of the same age were more in trospective, or were filled with iho details of the love that wouldh't run smooth. But now the greater num ber of them express the longing for service. One girl writes me: "I read so much about the great struggle pro ins on across the sea, and I know that this is the day of big things. I want to. do my bit, no matter how small. T couldn't afford to buy a Liberty Bond, but I am buying Thrift Stamps. Still I want to do some thing more to help." Another says: "I am a yofang girl who has nothing to do with her time all day long.

Can't you suggest something for me to do?" A third writes: "I so long to be able to do something worth while. I am young and strong and very bright. Please tell me what to do." Of course in none of these cases could I say, "I would do this or I would do that," because I know nothing whatever of these girls, their circumstances, capabilities and pow ers of endurance. But I can at least give them some idea of what is being done all over i the country, and I hope It may sug gest some occupation which would suit them and for whiah they would care to fit themselves. There is cer tainly a wide range of choice offered women at the present time. The State of Pennsylvania has es tablished classes of training wom en which include such branches as stenography, telephone, nurses' aid, filing, motor-mechanics, telegraphy. Red Cross work, war cookery, wire less, teaching the blind, draughting, farm traction and agriculture. And other states are organizing similar classes. Lydia Languish would swoon if she saw that list of occupations for women, and the grandmothers of most of us would undoubtedly turn over in their graves. We hear on every, side that the demand for nurses is greater than the supply, and this is also true of trained and experienced teachers. I asked some one who was up on the subject how the farmers in gen eral were pleased with their women farm hands. "Very much, from what we can gp'her from the reports that como in," was the % reply. 'The women nr<> more conscientious, reliable a'ld 1 airstaking than the men." Women also have a fine cliarce to exercise any inventive faculty they may possess. One woman in England has invented what is known as the roller-clutch. This, instead of ending in a ferrule like the ordi nary clutch in use. ends in a boat shaped bar. This lessens the strain on the shoulder and insures greater rapidity of movement. Another woman has invented a splint, wliich is said to be a vast improvement on the splint now in surgical use. It is made of padded papier-mache, and it said to be very light and at the same time very strong. So there is really no reason for women to mourn because ol" their unoccupied hours. They needn't have them a moment longer than they want them, when the world is so full of a number of things for them to do. U. S. Merchant Marine in 1920 to Beat World South Bend. Ind., June 11.— America in 1920 will have a mer chant marine of 25,000.000 dead weight tons, Chairman Hurley, of the shipping board, declared here last night in an address giving the most complete statement of the nation's shipbuilding program which has yet been made public. He was speaking to the graduates of Notre Dame Uni versity. This great commerce fleet, Mr. Hurley said, the largest ever as sembled in the history of the world, and involving the expenditure of more than $5,000,000,000 will link the United States to South and Cen tral America by weekly steamer service which will enable the Latin- American countries to utilize their unlimited natural resources in the freest competition with other na tions. It also will bridge the Pacific for the transportation of the prod ucts of Japan, Russia, China, Austra lia and the Orient, and will continue to promote America's trade with Europe. Noted Voices Raised in Getting Funds For War By Associated Press , Now York, Juno 11.—More than $25,000 was raised by the sale ot boxes for the musical festival given at the Metropolitan opera house here last night under the auspices of the Department of Navy Recreation ot the Woman's Naval Service, of which ; Mrs. E. T. Stoteabury, of Philadel- I phia, is national chairman. Many noted singers, including Caruso, McCormack, Lavaro, Mar tinelli and Muratore .gave their serv ices. A tableau "The Statue of Lib erty" symbolizing the spirit of navy recreation was also included in the program. PLANE SIDESLIPS; ONE DEAD By Associated Press Aberdeen, Miss., June 11.— Lieut.

April 12, 1918. | Dear Mother: This certainly is the end of a per fect day, for I have never seen such a beautiful sunset since 1 left the "Heights"—all blue and red, with the smoke from burning Rheims giv ing Just the right touch to make a most beautiful picture. Three times have I flown to-day, totaling four hours in the air, and I sure am going to enjoy my trundle bed "ce soir," even if it has bob wire for springs j and canvas for sheets. As Putman just remarked, no much has hap pened to-day that he don't know where to start, and 1 don't wonder, for he was in two fights, and to top it otf, his motor stopped dead and he landed in some trenches near camp. 1 had my own troubles, too. My ] motor has just been taken down and cleaned, and I quickly discov ered I had to learn it all over again —and to tiiink 1 knew its every whim before! Anyway, when we went out the first time at 12 o'clock a lieutenant came along. My motor i would not work at all, and kept spit | ting and coughing like a consump- I tive; something fierce; but 1 dog- I gedly stuck, hoping it would run better after a while —a hope that was not realized. We had been up and down the lines once, when swinging around Rheims we saw some white shrapnel 'way down at the other end of the line, so Putman stands on his tail and begins climb ing to have a look, for the white shrapnel denotes a Boche; so did I, but fiddle as I would with that dog gone motor, she would not pull me past 3,500 meters. Not being able toj climb up, I ambled along below in the hope that if they found the) Boche andd rove him down 1 migh I set a crack at him—and then 1 tried my gun to see if it was work ing. Some Fighting After shooting .twenty times, and fixing the gun after every shot, I stopped calling it a machine gun, for I was working it by hand. They both being fixed quickly, up 1 went to try them, diving down at the target with gun going full blast. It worked fine, and I*was happy again until I was informed that one of my bullets had gone through a hangar near by ami nearly hit a mechanic, something I could not understand at all because the hangar was quite a distance from the target and my shooting surely wasn't that bad. So I jokingly told them it was a stray Boche bullet. Just then Putman came back with a tale of diving on seven Boches, when his gun stuck. We soon had our zings refilled with gasoline and our guns fixed, and with another American named Guy started out again at 3 p. m. We humped along out to the lines, my engine still act ing queerly, with me trying my best to fix it. Anyway, I was keeping up with the patrol. For nearly an hour we flew up and down our sector without seeing anything but Boche balloons, ojid we had no orders to attack those, and then away over on the German side we saw six Boches,
