Brooklyn, N. Y.?Scores of letters of the kind usually described as: mush notes" read to Justice Glegerlch and a jury, woo for Mrs. Anna Speare a verdict of $25,000 against Miss Frances Goldstein, a Brooklyn music teacher, for the alienation of her husband's affections. Mrs. Speare Is a practicing physician and the wife of Frederick Speare, a concert singer. One of the letters Miss Goldstein addregsed to "My Heart's Darling," follows: "I have just played Mendelssohn's symphony. If I could fly to you I; would, and I wish my letters would ' only fly to you. Oh. sweetheart, how j toonMful that Italian symphony Is! The first thing I do \ehen I awake Is I to run down in the parlor and play It. It Is so plaintive?so pathetic and so simple. Some day that Caruso will turn me looney. "My darling, when I think of the morning I watched you go away on the train I experienced the same sweet pain. I stood there as in a dream after rru were gone, and then came tears?hot tears. .1 could not calm myself." \ home m town helpsb CLEAN UP AND KEEP CLEAN Much More Than Mere Comfort Is Involved in Having Community Free From Dirt The irrentest effort In* the history of cleanliness is an! ) For cleanliness has a history. Its influence can be traced down the ages. Those races that were clean were those races that were the masters. The Athenians, with their baths and beautiful homes, conquered the Persians, with their unkempt beards and* dirty skins. The Jtomans, with their aqueducts, their barbers, their gardens, beat back the barbarians with their goat sklna and greasy fingers. Louis XYI was the most dainty monarch France ever had and one of the mightiest. Filth kept the, Panama canal from being built years before It finally was. Bolshevism flourished when the dirty and ignorant, gained control In Russia. Real people, the wise, the leaders- In progress, always have fought foi cleanliness: At times It has been s sporadic fight, a skirmish. A clean man was handicapped by a nelghboi who let his premises run wild. But co-operation has been brought to pla?V at last. This year, in the United States alone, 7,000 villages, towns and cities are campaigning for cleanliness and health. They are not doing so for a day or a week, but in a continuous campaign. In a steady pressure. Tin cans, flies, refuse, dirt, waste paper, unsightly buildings, nopainted surfaces are taboo. The drive Is on. It has been estimated that 30,000,000 men, women and children in the United States are annually interested In and working on clean up and paint up activities. It is an army of magnlfl cent purpose and of immense possibilities. It Is bound to win. Join the forward movement. Clean up, paint up and keep it up. Make the old enemies, dirt, and disease and unsightliness, abdicate and stay out. WHY HOME OWNING IS URGED Ten Powerful Argument* Put Forward by Those Convinced of Wisdom of the Plan. Home owning will result in benefit to people who become home owners and to the city as a whole, for these, amona other, reasons: 1. Id the long run the home owner Id more prosperous than the renter, and the prosperity of any city depends upon the prosperity of its Individual citizens. 2. The home owner Is permanent; the shifter does little good to his city or himself. 8.

"A thing of beauty is a Joy forever," which can be found in a bed of oldfashioned flowers at a minimum cost. After the soil Is prepared, sow the seeds or set out the plants, putting the tall ones like sweet peas, hollyhocks, golden glow and sunflowers in the back. Plant shorter ones in front, such as the piarigolds, Japanese poppies,, sweet Williams and field daisies; in front of these still shorter ones, such as petunias, nasturtiums and asters, with pansies, pinks and verbenas in front. A border of candy tuft cft sweet alyssum is very decorative. With such an arrangement, flowers for the parlor and living room table can be obtained until frost comes.

Birds add much to the home surroundings and are easily made neighbors if nesMng places are* available. Bird houses will attract wrens, bluebirds, martins and nuthatches; and the windbreak, apple orchard, or lawn trees make good homes for orioles, phoebes, robins and thrushes. They will pay for any attention by the destruction of many Injurious insects. Some fruiting shrubs, such as the Juneberry, black haw, sheepberry and cherry should be planted in thickets, not alone for the birds, but because they add much to the surroundings. 1 ?o?: Theory and Practice. "I trust, Brother Johnson," said the presiding elder, "that you are endeavoring as far as possible to bring up your children by the rule of kindness; requesting rather than commanding, ?nd PTnlalnine to them carefully why they should obey your Injunction*!" 'That's powerful gaudy In the'ry, parsdnt" returned Gap Johnson of Rfimpus Ridge, "but in actual practice knocking 'em down with a neckyoke now and then is about the only way to ;!etch results. I could Just about as quick get 'em to mind me by argying with 'em as I could make a turtle giggle by tickling his lid with a fbather." ?Kansas City Star. Her Sex'a Falling. Delmer usually walked to school with Matie, his little neighbor next door, but nearly always had to wait for her. One morning he was obliged to wait an unusually long time for Matie to get her hair curled, and later he confided to his mother that he was not going to walk to school with her any more. His mother asked him why he had decided to go without waiting for Matie. "Well," he replied, "when I call for her I always find her so unready." Saw a KesemDiance.

TOOK LIBERTY WITH FACTS Author of "The Luck of Eden Hall" Admitted That He Drew on His Imagination. The author of the poera, "The Luck of Eden Hall," was Johann Ludwlg Uhland, a German poet of the first half of the nineteenth century, who first put that romantic legend into verse and Inter it was dressed in English rhyme by Longfellow. As the story goes, the young lord of the manor during a night of drunken revelry, demanded the drinking glass called "the luck of Eden Hall." The butler "heard the words with pain," but brought the goblet which the tipsy nobleman smashed. Instantly flames cracked the celling and the persons surrounding the festal board became dust. The straightforward American poet explains at the heading of his translation that in spite of the tragic ending of the poem the glass is still in existence, and so It Is today. It is six Inches high, of pale green glass, exquisitely enameled in blue and white. Practical folk say that It probably came originally from 8paln, where it was used as a chalice in communion sendee, but the original story goes that it was left at St. Cuthbert's well by a company of fairies. Twas Ever Thua. Mr. 8mlth, hearing music and singlog at his neighbor's house, decided he would drop in and see how they were. Mr. Jones welcomed him and ushered him into the parlor where his daughter was playing the piano and his son singing. Mr. 8mlth begged them to continue. They consented. The first song they selected was "Mother." They sang this rery feelingly and then father Joined In on the chorus. This was followed Dy "Momer Machree" and others of like sentiment on songs about mothei^how true they were, how dear and how they loved to sing them. Then, as Mrs. Jones hadn't appeared yet, Mr. Smith Inqutred about her state of health. "Oh," said Mr: Jones, "she's well enough. She's in the kitchen doing the dishes, but after she has finished and has taken In the wood she'll join us." ?Judge.
