Those who object to divorce are very short-sighted thinkers.

By the time Marie Doro had finished saying these things her ' bouillon cup was empty. As she ' roue to. go to her room for a nap, the frail little girl whose mind drives her i body on so fast, so much TOO fast, looked up with those eyes that just drip gloom and smiled faintly. "I am so awfully sorry," she murmured, "that I couldn't give out a few Ideas, but the doctor has forbidden me to use my mind ex- cept In connection with my work. Otherwise : he.fears for me."

Business Is Sacred Under the Law and the Billboards Remain The Central Improvement league semantis the absolute abo- lition .of all billboards in the city. But it cannot be done.

As Judge Siil.s says, "It's a business," ninl you mustn't inter- fere with "business." That is the theory of the law now. t The city commission will try to' I'regilat*" the billboards, but the regulation allowed by courts has not been such as helps much. Mayor Fawcett had an ordinance i passed that came the nearest to putting the boards out of business, > but he was removed before _ he could enforce It, and nothing has i been done since.
