answers for the consideration Of the New YORK
School Board:

10 considered very pretty business); the silly
little soubrette, who appears on all occasions

with nothing In the world to do but to kiss the
souhre,te and live happily ever afterwards
with her. ana the villain, who s an absolute
New Englap necessity.

looks superior to all the countrv iaya lie
takes you imme ed,a,ely into his confidence. He
tells you all about that mortgage (for in New
England mortgages sprout like the cabbaQes OF
the neld) and his deyilish Intentions of fore
closure. He is absolutely vile, but somehow
you like him, for he stands out in luminous
comparison with the douehy fools that sur.
round MIN. He smokes cigars, and sometimes
puffs the smoke into the face OF the ,uyeniie
lead. And he invariably loves the heroine,
for although he knows that she can never be
his, he cannot tear her image from h,s heart,
poor ass, She has to do the tearing. The
villain is generally afraid of useless detec.

@. Describe the New ENGLAND detective.
A. That's easy. He Is q funny man. Hs
makes jokes. He never does any other work
OF detectives, but he 10 very popular-with ar
audience. He 10 always laughing. II he vert
asked TO weave q net OF evidence around
Frencny No g, he would succumb to ar
ecstasy Of mirth. An avalanche of wit wouit

Q. What have the old farmer and his wife ,t

and have journeyed through life together,
dontchernow. linen misfortune comes-anS
with a villain and detective on hand. you car
bet 1t does come-they will cieaye all the NOR,
closely. Amanda will say, "Jeremiah. ",

emah, with his blatant nose, will remark,
"Amandy, to think that have brought vol
to this, me girl" This is q always effective. II
