of 'he aristocratic beauty.
At first refusing to guess, Mr
O’Hearn eventually consented to come
down to cases. He doubted that tire
'•uin total of osculation had reached
tile 1,000 or even the oOO mark, “it
may have been a'couple of hundred
times,” he finally admitted cautiously,
throwing in the pertinent suggestion
that “you cannot kiss a person utile;?
the other kisses, too.”
Just as it takes two sets of lips to
negotiate a ki.-s properly, it takes two
persons to make a divorce suit. And
in the case of thcvEldridges it appeared
to require two other persons to get the
legal machinery started. There was,
of course, Mr. O’Hearn, and there was
a sprightly brunette whom Mrs. laid
ridge swore she had seen in negligee
in the same hotel room with Eldridge.
While awaiting the opening of the
divorce trial, Mrs. Eldridge applied to

Strive for Power—Not Riches, Says Brady
PETER J. READY, a cash boy a!
the age of ten, was admitted to
the labor union as a journey
man photo-engraver while still in hii
teens. He became such an active
force in the American Federation of
Labor that when the workingman’s
bank, the Federation Bank and Trust
Company, was formed, he was chosen
its president.
The choice of this genial, forthright
Irishman to guide the financial prog
ress of the workingman throughout
the country was the logical outcome
of his years of devotion to the labor
cause. Mayor Walker has just ap
pointed Mr. Brady chairman of t!i-i
Mayor’s Committee on Airports and
A\iation Program for tlie City of New
\ ork. Says Mr. B rady:
“A young man starting in business
should first of all pick out something
he likes, and then stick to it, and work
at it just so much harder than the
other fellow.
“I don't necessarily admire tho
young nian who stays in the office
longer than anybody else. Remaining
to work after office hours often means
that he has been a laggard when he
should have been at his job.
“A man is more useful to me, and
has greater chances of success and ad
vancement in my opinion when he con*
centratcs during office hours to such
a degree that at five o'clock or when*
ever it is his work is done.

PETER J. BRADY
“If a man like* hi* work that of
course implies enthusiasm, integrity
and devotion to his purpose. But even
if a man sets a goal for himself, it is
wise never to be too hidebound in his
method of attaining it.
“Elasticity of mind is an invaluable
(actor in business. By that 1 mean if
a young man has decided on achieving
his goal in a certain set way, it is a
mistake never to deviate, for inva
riably certain conditions arise where a
different policy is advisable, and these
crossroads are the times when intelli
gence and a certain mobility are in
valuable, and where inflexible policies
may ruin his whole business life. And
here is where the human equation
conies in for the man who knows men
and their ways from experience will
nine times out of ten jump in the right
direction.”
In the matter of taking the knocks,
coping with injustices and fighting the
enemies which crop up during a busi
ness career, Mr. Brady has this to say :
“It’s only human nature to take yoiir
knocks hard, but never let them get
under your skin. If you do they will
hold you back. Don’t brood on them.
Don’t let them cloud the issue.
“Injustice is bound to creep into
your path, but again don't waste your
time contemplating your wrongs. You
may be able to right them some day.
It is all valuable experience. Use it to
“Oh, and if you’ve got a sense of
humor that’s the greatest help of all.”
Which is to be expected since Peter
Brady has never forgotten that he is
an Irishman.

“No man or woman reaches a posi

Tho broker, poi-ted and smiling, en
tered rather deeply into tin- technical
intricacies of osculation as the photo
graphic excerpt from hi? deposition on
this page shows, Totting parties were
briefly discussed and Mr. O'Hearn’s
friendships with girls tv. re gone into
at length. Here is a sample of Ins
ideas and style:
Q. Were you engaged to marry
at one time.’ A. 1 never gave a
girl a ring.
Q. llid you. ever keep company
with a gni who was about to he
roine your wife? A. Yes.
Q., And did slie break off with
you? A. No gill ever bloke off
with me.
Q. The one you were about to
marry? A. 1 was about to many
three or four.
Q. Were you on . , irmly
friendly terms with Mrs. Kblridge
to call her by her first name? A.
Yes.
Q. When did you become that
familiar? A. We called each oilier
by our first names the first time
we met.
Q. Is that the usual thing to do?
A. ’I hat’s what 1 do.
Other question? and answer- con
cerning the use of endearing term-, a
black eye which O'Hearn repudiated,
the giving away of liquor and the pep
the giving away of liquor ami the peep
ing party which re ulted, it was
charged, in tire discovery of the young
woman in the apartment hou.se with
Ehiridge. O'Uearn .-add that, accom
panied by Mr.. Eldridge, lie could see
front their motor car into the suite
win 1*0 the my.-tcry lady, black gowned
and bobbed, was rocking near the win
dow and smoking a cigarette.
They saw Eldridge enter anj the
light go out. When the light went on
the bobbed lady was in a dainty, lacey
affair with ribbon trimmings. Tn her
libel suit Mr . Eldridge named this girl
a “Mis. Edna Smith.' She also named
a "Virginia McCormick.”
Ehlridge denied that lie had occupied
a room in a New York hotel with any
woman. He had not, he affirmed, met
a “mvstery woman” at a Eorty-fourth
Street hotel in that city. He admitted
meeting a woman on a Boston-bound
train from the West, but denied en
tering a building on Mountfort Street,
or another on Norway Street.
Hut people who attended the hear
ing were inclined to brush aside such
technicalities and to center their at
tention on jaunty Mr. O’Hearn and
his testimony of the two hundred
ki. in, which is believed to approach
a let old.

After I ray goodnight
lo the final eager Jrimd
Who brings to a rinse
The line of those who crou d my day—
I am myself.
And where J now ret re t
So h union enters.
So more cloaking my thoughts
Diluting or polluting them
To others’ tastes. . . .
I can think in honesty.
Xo more parrying of hidden thrust t
With light, good-humored repartee. . . .
I can hate in honesty.
Xo more simulating tore
To those who crave it.
Xo more feigning indifference
To those l dare not love.
I can like and love whom I please
And no one will know,
Xottt can be hurt
And none made vain.

Will there ever be someone
To whom 1 can lift
The veil of my secrets?
Someone to whom 1 can lift tba veil of my eecreti.’
