A great obstacle to the project was

AN INTERESTING
STORY OF FORMER
SUSSEX GIRL.
“For tne sake of love our Jean has
sacrificed all."
"Learning that she is only our daughter by adoption, little Jean has refused the comfort of our home and has chosen to nght her battle for re generation alone."
"Our love will always remain very
strong for Jean. We have not forgot- ten that only a year ago she was as care free and true hearted as when s. child of six."-G. R. Mitchell.
At the modest home of Charles R.
Mitchell in Danvgrs today there is sadneés and longing over the siateen- year-old adopted daughter of the fam- ily, Jean, who recently convicted as an accomplice with James Hanley, gentleman burglar recently shot and killed while entering 5 house in New Jersey, has refused the home and love of her adopted mother and fath- er to spend a year in the reform school.
Only a year ago, little Jean. then
less than sixteen, came to Boston from her parents’ home in Sussex,

N. B. While here she fell in love with Hanley, and in spite of the treaties of her parents, who had moved to Danvers, followed her sweetheart a- bout ths country.
Recently when the judge Oflered to
allow her to return home with h
and preferredrto work out her own
refusal followed the announcemen made by detectives that she was only
fore. _
In his nervous way, Charles Mit-
chell_ the adopted father, today. tells of the tragedy which has entered his peaceful home. Both he and his wife now live in the shadow of sadness. Both reach out their arms towards the lonely- girl in vain. The bid man will not permit: a member of the fam- ily or any friend to speak slightingiy of his dear Jean.
He only deplores continually the day when he was moved to give hp his store in the quiet little New Brunswick village and move to Dan- vers.-
“It's all my, fault," he declared
teai°ful1y_ "Dear Jean should not have been permitted to leave home. But_ then I never knew. You see, I kept a department store in Sussex. Everything was very hap- py until two years ago, when I decid ed -to sell out and como to '.Donvere._ My wife came nrst and was followed by Jean, who had no trouble in sec- uring employment in a Boston doc- tor's office. After I arrived here Jean would write us occasionally from Bos-_ tori telling us that she was very com- fortable niid happy.
"lt seems that after s while she
procured another position as waitress in a restaurant on Huntington aven- ue. lt, was while working there that she met Hawley, who told her that ills was a. commercial traveller. Af- ter sho began to take up with him she continued to write us, but kept her address a. secret. She wrote us to send our letters to the Back Bay post ofllce.
"I tried in every way to procure
round the post offce for her to come. But she was too clever for me. I could not find her.
“Finally she went to Providence,
and when she left the city she wrote me that 'she was travelling compan- ion for a very rich lady. She went to Philadelphia and New York.
"The whole trouble was Jean loved
Hanley w'ho,`she said, told her he was married, but was going to mar- ry Jean as soon as he could procure e divorce. ' "Poor little girl! When her troubl- es appeared greatest, they bad, it seems, just begun. Though she knew she was liable to arrest, she remain- ed with her lover in the face of his wickedness Jean had no desire t
thing I had in the world. ‘
"I only hope that her sad exper-
ience mey prove s lesson to the ma- ny young women who face lifc's bat.- tle alone.
"My Jean was only human. Her
lover'e gifts, his flowers, automobile rides and dinners all went to win the‘ gfrl's heart-she believed him a suc-
fessfui business man until it was too a e. "After love cams the fact that her
sweetheart was engaged in a dishon- _orablc business. It made no diilerencs to hci- heart. ' s

“Somehow the detectives on the
case found out that I was Jeaxi’a for ter-father. With this news they went. to the child and told her that she was only my daughter by sdontiom- thst she had been taken from home when a baby. I think that the news proved a climax to her troubles.
"After her lover had died she wrote.
me from the prison imploring me to tell her from what horns _she had been taken, and who her parents were.
She also begge,d.:%'know why we had never told her b _ re. The disclosure seemed to have cast a deeper' shad- ow over her life. ' _ '
"I went to New Jersey to see her
and told her the best I could about her adoption. She had been taken, when three months old. from s Bt. John home for babies. I said to her. 'Jean , your brothers have never known the secret. Only your mother and I knew it, and we have promised to always keep it guarded.” "Weeping, she pleaded with me to
'endeavor bo give her more details,
co tell her who her real father and mother might be. I was helpless to answer the question.
“Begging to he permitted to take
her home again, and than care for her. as the judge allowed, I was pain- ed and hurt: when Jean, my little Jean, told me that sbs preferred te spend E year in the New Jersey Re- formatory Home in preference to coming back again _to her parents.
that she was motherlesa and father- less as well. To all my pleadings she remained firm, but to me she everrcd that she was going to begin life a- gain, and that the present page of sadness and sufferings in the book of life was to be blotted out."
HOW 'P0 KEEP WARM.
Winter weather is the enemy of
prettiuess. Of course, it is not en- tirely devoid of every advantage, as mark the deeply glowing cheek of the maiden who has just come in out of the cold; but, alas, mark also the carmine tip to the nose, and some- times the pinched expression of the face, which remains, long after one feels that one is warm.
Even the woman swathed in costly
furs frequently docs battle with the carmins-tipped nose. though the
may `be unknown to h_or‘."‘Th€u What
to afford the warmth of rich furs to struggle against this enemy of pret- tinese and friend of discomfort, not to say ill-health?
Diet is the important thing if she
wish-es to prevent the ugly effect on her looks of cold weather. But she should not jump to the conclusion
that she must; overeat in order to do this, in that way she invites indlgca- uon and a muddy skin to ioin the ldiscomfort of 'the cold. What should lbs done is to change the diet instead _of increasing it. Olive oil is an ln- vsluable winter food, though in this country we are slow at adopting its use. 'Plenty of butter and cream, with\bacon in the morning, should be taken, as all fats tend to increase the heat of the body.
Sugar is another good food for the cold weather, and acid fruits are to be avoided if one wishes to face the cold cheerfully. Hot milk sipped slowly, is the best reviver eltvl' a long and stitlening drive or railway iourney. But if hot milkis not~ob- tsinsiiie than it cup ot hot wow” will be found a good substitute. This is a splendid aid to beauty, as ltstarts the blood to circulating, and it olfo_ is a tonic for tired nerves. " __ Clothd have to be considered in one's ight against cold. Quality na-

Growers wha had the skillnnd education to pro- duce the very best quality of fruit did not seein to know how to trans- port it properly to the packing sts- tious, and the result was that their? excellent samples of fruit was receiv- ed by the packers in such bruised and battered condition that very little of' it would grade No. 1. This seems to be the week point in co-operative imarketing here, but another year ths 'company propose only to accept at their packing stations fruit: that is

True co-operation must take into

.more or less success, to Manchester, England; Sydney, Cape Breton, and Newfoundland. The principal varie- ties handled were Alexanders, Weal- ithtes and Ben Davis, some in bar.- _rels and others in boxes.
