TALKS BY BE A TRICE FAIRFAX By Beatrice Fairfax There comes a day in the life of I every bachelor when he stops to think about his mistakes of omis sion and commission, and he be comes a bit uneasy in his mind. The timo for these reflections is apt to be the chill morning hour when he is sparring with the razor •pr the stubble at the left of his right ear. And the young day shows every wrinkle —not to mention a budding second chin. And the bachelor thinks about the girl he did not marry, and who eventually married his best friend. At the time of their wedding the bachelor was not a little proud that he had escaped the noose; and his feelings, as he threw handfuls of rice after the departing pair, were the congratulatory emotions of a man whose single racer has just escaped a collision on the high road. lie liked the girl immensely, but long ago a certain couplet of Rud yard Kipling had made a deep im pression on his mind, and he had made it the first article of his bachelor's creed. Down to Gelianna, or up to the throne, He travels the fastest who travels alone." So he had steeled his heart against what he. was pleased to re gard as her "feminine tricks." He had not been averse to a well-re gulated flirtation, in fact, he was not a little proud of his strategic, skill in that direction. HO had en Counterfeiter Caught!

THURSDAY EVENING, HABHISBUHG TELEXSIOLPEC MAY 1, 1919. joyed love-making after a fashion, | but he had not wanted to be taken i seriously as a lovemaker. And not for a moment did lie want to be re- j garded in the light of a possible husband. Kvading the Matrimonial Trap For him the art of life is to have as much social distraction as pos sible, without getting caught in what he regards as the matrimonial trap. So, when the girl married his best friend, he did the handsome thing byway of a wedding present and congratulated himself on bear ing a charmed life. And he continued to quote the Kipling couplet, about the speed with which a young man reaches the success goal—if he travels alone. But when he pauses to take stock of himself, from time to time, he is amazed to discover that he is no nearer to success than when he first committed to memory the two Kip ling lines. Raking his chin in the Chill light of a spring morning, he recalls that the friend who married his girl has traveled a good deal farther ahead. Friend Benedict has developed into a very substantial citizen, with an excellent Brad street rating, and an expensive hob by or two on the side, like picture and rug collecting. And the bachelor, still shaving, and deciding that the lines about his mouth have developed into a very deep pair of parentheses, indeed, re members hearing someone say that his friend owed much of his success to his wife, who was a wonderful It's really a simple matter for any I woman to merit this praise since | beautiful hair is only a matter of care. When your hair becomes faded, dry, streaked and seraggly, when it falls out badly and new hair cannot grow, tlie roots must be vitalized and prop erly nourished. To do this quickly, safely and at little expense there is nothing so effective as Parisian Kage (liquid form) which you can get at Kennedy's Drug Store or any drug or toilet counter. It's guaran teed to abolish dandruff, stop scalp itch and falling hair, and promote a new growth or money refunded. It's in great demand by women of taste and culture because it makes the hair soft, lustrous, easy to ar range attractively and appear much heavier than it really is. A massage with Parisian Sage is a real delight—easy to use, not sticky or greasy, and delicately per fumed an antiseptic liquid free front dangerous ingredients, and guaranteed not to color the hair or scalp. If you want good-looking hair and plenty of it, use Parisian Sage. Don't delay—begin tonight—a little attention now insures beautiful hair for years to come. manager and had.great social gifts 1 besides. And he is conscious of a sort of ' defrauded feeling as he looks back 1 ' through the vista of many hollow 1 years in the raw light of an early < spring morning. Years that he has 1 spent as a "professional bachelor," i regarding all women with a dis- 1 trustful eye, and making them un- 1 derstand, in a hundred little ways, I that while he is willing to do the right thing in flowers, candy and theater tickets, he is first, last and 1 at all times matrimonially im mune. For the "professional bachelor" differs in kind from the bachelor by-accident, or the bachelor-by-ne cessity. The "P. B." is not. as we say, "susceptible," and, conceiving every woman to be a husband hunter, he sees to it that she knows immediately upon introduction that . his motto is "Hands off!" No Longer Eligible Well, our friend, the "professional bachelor," has escaped them all, and he is now in the early forties, and mothers no longer regard him as an eligible party. He still dances, and he is still a desirable dinner guest, but he no longer ' causes flutterings—he is out of the j running. And still, curiously enough, he is as far away from that great goal of success as he was when he had jost left college, and quoted so ; gayly: "Down to Gehenna, etc." — ' Other fellows, less prudent, who took chances and got married seemed to have traveled a good deal farther along the high road to sue- i cess. And ituddeniy it begins to dawn on our crafty friend that a ! wife is an asset rather than a lia bility, and that this traveling 1 alone business is a delusion and an expensive delusion. And by the time one has finished keeping up one's position as a "professional bachelor" there is mighty little left j in the bank. And that women, apart from their . malign gifts as sirens, Delilahs and ; temptresses, generally speaking, i have quite extraordinary ability in managing a man's affairs and rak- ■ ing chestnuts out of the fire for him, I when his own hands prove too , clumsy for the business. And that, all said and done, being yoked to one woman is really more satisfac tory than philandering about with ft'dozen. Hitching Post vs. Ixioso Rein By the time our friend "the pro fessional bachelor" has finished shaving and noted with alarm that in addition to the wrinkles, his hair is getting quite thin on the temples, and that nobody really loves him. | And he wishes, with all his selfish, 1 ossified old heart, that he had never ' heard of Rudyard Kipling and that | silly rot about "Down to Gehenna, , etc.—•" Then joyously, he remembers, as an antidote, that someone else has said: "A hitching post is much bet ter than a loose rein." And with this I in mind, the "P. B." rushes off and | marries in a panic the first woman | who will accept him. i And every one wonders why, and the answer is—the effect of the chill I light of a spring morning on hfs | noble countenance as he shaves.

COLONEITFINNEY'S OWN STORY OF 28TH [Continued front First Pago.] at 7.20 a. m., and of course saw noth ing of England. Next day saw Southampton by auto and tram cars. . Stopped at London and South-west Hotel, where Captain Detweiler and myself had fine rooms (bridal suite) at two guineas. May 10 Embarked for France on the six thousand ton trans port (Southwestern Miller), sailing at 6.30 p. m., but it was light enough j to see many disabled vessels off' shore, torpedoed and towed into shallow water. We passed Isle of Wight escorted by three British de stroyers; 50 British and Australian officers on board. We left One Hun dred and Twelfth Infantry at Liver pool, they going another way. Be ing senior officer I was placed in ' command by British offical at South ampton, and furnished British Naval Code. It was a beautiful night, moon half full—every one else so ber. Landed at La Havre 3 a. m„ dis embarked at 8 a. m., and marchedi to rest camp. Saw first wounded (262) on a hospital train which ar rived here from front. Saw the city which was quaint and very French as it seemed to me, and received orders to entrain at 2 a. m. Satur day May 18, when we left for Amer ican Sector (destination sealed). Passed Rouen at 11.40 and through' the beautiful Seine valley. I had an interpreter with me, a very interest ing French officer. We made a stop at Mantes and a lang stop at Noisy le-sec, four miles from Paris. We could see in the distance the tower and Cathedral of St. Denis. We left Noisy (right name) at midnight Sunday, May 19, we were on the train all day passing trains, big cannon and trains of soldiers. Passed Troyes at 9 a. m., arrived at Chaumont (haute Marne) at 5 p. m. The country was most beautiful. Passed through Langres, La Fer sur Amance, where we detrained and j marched to Fayl Billot, which was to be our home for some time. Upon reporting to Langres I was given command of this, the Seventeentli billeting area. Had a good zone major, and our stay here was most pleasant, far from the front, and my duties took me to Langres, Besan ion, Vesoul, Gray, Champlitt, Dam picrre, Baum les Dames, Is-sur Tille, Neuchateau and many other towns within a radiud of 100 kilo meters. While at Fayl billet I had rooms with a madame D— and took my < meals at the local tavern, Le Cheval Blanc. Fayl Billot is one of the most tlparsely populated departments in France, and is full of Roman his tory and remains of former days. jThe people are so honest and moral, as to explode all we have been j i taught to think of the French. Our | men were fetching and carrying for | th 3 people, learning French, and act- j ing in such a manner as to create a most friendly feeling, for which | much appreciation was shown by a constant flow of expressions of good | ' will from the local people. Every i jono greets every one else with "Bon I I jour" and "Jo vous remercie" was j heard on all sides. My billet here was In an old chateau, where I had two bed rooms and a storage room. ; The reception hall was marble-tiled, and an old black walnut stair case led up to my rooms. s I do not know where mademe and her servant stowed themselves, but the Lord knows there was plenty of room. I j usually saw the old lady coming ' home from mass when 1 caine out for my breakfast. The chateau has quite a history connected with it; it seems that Napoleon when on his way from Elba to Waterloo, made my chateau his quarters, and there j had a meeting with the Emperor of Austria and the Czar of Russia. On | several other occasions these dig- I nitaries held secret meetings here, and the madame holds a parchment i signed by the three rulers that pur ports to exempt her house from pil . iagc or destruction In any future 'wars. I do not know if the Bosch i would honor the parchment should he ever reach this place. How 1 wish you could see it all! — the wonderful bedrooms and furni ture. the tall gold-framed mirrors, inlaid chests, hand-csarved bufft'ts, tall-boys, marble slabs, canopied beds, and all the things we see in the old French prints. My bed was ja really wonderful affair, of great height, with brocaded and draped J canopy, and the woodwork of ina- I hogany with brass trimmings. My ! hostess, who spoke most beautiful I French, was full of Napoleonic rem- I iniscences, but spoke not a word of (English. I came into possession of • all this history through Lieutenant ,C , who as you know, speaks the 1 language perfectly. The jardin con nected with the chateau and which 'my windows overlooked was well I kept and beautiful with blooming | dowers. Madame was out in the i morning during the early hours I with her watering pot and trowel, I working among the flowers and | plants. In crossing France we passed through the Seine valley with all its beauty, but after motor rides through this section I am sure that nothing in France or the world could be more beautiful, quiet and restful than the country for miles . in every direction from this little 1 French village, where was no sign of war, save the few men of my command. The people of the village were poor but fine characters; their ' employment for the most part was basket making. 1 know you would j have enjoyed this place, it was all (so quaint and so French. We received orders and left June 18th to join our division which had been in training under the British in Northern France. We detrained at Be Bourget, 8 miles north of Paris, marched to Gonesse, where we joined and remained until June 23d. Our trunks were not transportable in the trains, as we were now going to the front, so early on the 23rd, took my adjutant in my car and es corted a truck load of our trunk lockers to Cox and Company, ship ping agency in Paris for storage. Returned to Gonesse in time to pro ceed with the outfit, and passing • through Meaux, Coulommes. Na utcuily and Boissy, in my auto, ar rived at our destination, Rebais at , 8.20 p.m. Here we saw our first air battles, but we as yet knew nothing of real work, although French ar tillery was lumbering through the i town all night and a big square was "Can't Cut Off My Leg" Says Railroad Engineer "I am a railroad engineer; about 20 years ago my leg was seriously in jured in an accident out West. Upon my refusing to allow the doctor to amputate it, I was told it would bo impossible to heal the "wound. 1 have tried all kinds of salves and had many doctors in the past 20 years, but to no avail. Finally I resolved to use PETERSON'S OINTMENT on my leg. You cannot imagine my astonishment when I found it was doing what over 100 things had failed to do. My leg is now completely cured."—Gus Ilauft, 790 Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. "It makes me feel proud to be able to produce an ointment like that," says Peterson, of Buffalo "Not only do 1 guarantee Peterson's Ointment for old sores and wounds, but for eczema, salt rheum, ulcers, itching skin and blind, bleeding, or itching piles, and I put up a big box for 35 cents, a price all can afford to pay and money back from your druggist if not satisfied."

Hundreds of women In our city are going around today with Joy in their hearts and a new lease on life and health where before each day was one long "nervous drag of misery". As one woman expressed It, "It's t not the work you do, it's the way you feel that makes the drudgery, you can not get ahead when you go to bed all in, too tired to sleep and get up in the morning half dead. Believe me I know. I certainly was a nervous wreck, every 1 task a load, no ambition, thin, haggard I and pale, an old woman before my time. Look at me now. Work is a pleasure. I am just bubbling over with good spirits, the picture of health. cheok3 rosy and full of the color that only iron lzed blood can give, while my phos phate-fed nerves are as steady as a clock, nothing worries me, I sleep like a top and feel like a girl of sixteen. Take it from me, I want Phosphated Iron to get all of the credit, too much cannot be said in its praise, and all my friends are boosting It". There is no need of any man or wo -1 man going around with that tired all-in feeling or any form of nervousness, if they take a brace, and stack up to a package .of Phosphated Iron. It sure will spruce you up and make von feel like a live wire once more, so get busy.

We could hear the big guns and see flashes of rockets from the Marne sector, which was just ahead of us. We were operat ing from here with the French, and on June 29 we moved under orders to Hondevilliers, and while our head quarters was here we received our first baptism of lire, and our first losses, for we stopped the Hun of fensive after it crossed the Marne, which was just a few miles north of us. The Boche crossed at several points and we pushed him back at Artonges, Conde-eßrle and Vaux, and then came Chateau-Thierry, and | we moved forward all the time, not i stopping to go back until we reached : the Marne with all the Germans on I the other side.
