H The soft balmy winds of the past H week and long afternoons of sunshine H as well as the starry nights are most B auspicious for Dan Cupid, who seems H to be unusually busy these war times.

However these reports have Hf been abroad for so many months that i even the most fastidious old Tabbies are beginning to doubt them. Truly many a maid can envy the said fair B ' widow, for she is chic, vivacious and Hi charming and the man who wins her Bf will be most fortunate.

H H HE folvjng clipping from Col- H , D liers seems most apt these war H days when women have taken men's H places in so many occupations, from H taking care of war gardens to wear- B ing the uniform of street car conduc- H tors. Truly the day of the woman and K ( the suffragette is at hand: H She was a broad-shouldered comely B conductor, clothed in knickers, put- f tees, and an air of authority. He K watched her handling the besieging B', mob at Forty-second street She was K as fully in command of her Eighth H; avenue car as is the officer of his S trench or the skipper of his brig. He HL remembered that .Margaret .Fuller, jH . Emerson's f rie" 1 3 id said in her- 1 courageous waj ncerning women: HJL "Let them be Si,., captains if they Huf will!" If Margaret Fuller, he thought, B might only have lived to hear this Bfc member of her sex shouting in a firm, unharried voice: "Let 'em off, please! Watch your stop! Move up front! Don't lean against that door! Move up front, please!" In the lull between boarding parties, par-ties, as the skipper sorted transfers, a woman beside her ventured: "How do you like your new job?" "Fine." "Don't you get tired?" "Sure. But will you tell me where you'll find a job that ain't tiresome sometimes? This is a good deal bet-tern bet-tern washing dishes. Yes," she repeated re-peated pleasantly, sweeping with impersonal im-personal glance the group of men penned in by her iron rail, "I'll do this any day before I'd do washing for any man alive!" He glanced from the wedding ring upon the conductor's loft hand to the row of sheepish grims before her. "Let them be sea captains if they will!" The phrase echoed through, his brain to the accompaniment of a strange thrill. Was it admiration or was it primal fear? Y4.VE you seen the little book JLJ the street car company's getting get-ting out, for the benefit of patrons and railroad men alike?" queried the blonde. "Yes, indeed," replied the brunette at one of the numerous afternoon tea functions (with only the necessary sugar, but heavy on gossip.) "But I do think that the article on the subject sub-ject of politeness of officials of the company, conductors and motorroen, Is going too far; for I don't think I ever met a single man on the front or rear platform of one of our cars who was disrespectful in the slightest." "I agree with you," chimed in an elderly member of the sewing club. "I ought to know, for I have children with, me often who require attention constantly and delay the car as I trundle them aboard and off tho vehicle. ve-hicle. I think that party who wrote to 'Kar-Fax' complaining has cast a decidedly minority vote. Really, 'Kar-Fax' 'Kar-Fax' ought to be full next issue of things showing the good side of these best natured of officials the street car men." Then and there the club took a straw vote and the result was a howling howl-ing majority In favor of the motion: "Resolved, That the railway men of Salt Lake's street car system are the most polite of any of their calling we have over had the pleasure to meet."
