OF all the good things in this good
world around us, the one most seldomly
furnished and favored US and which,
for that reason, we greet with cheers
and applause is a passing good anna
teur play. When grown people from
the beaten path astray they are awk-
ward and stiff, but children act and
speak as naturally behind the foot
lights as on the playground. If there
is skeptic on the subject in Wichita

On March II, Mrs. Lease will deliver
a lecture at the auditorium on What
Ais Us?" That the address will be an
interesting one need not be said to the
citizens of Wichita. Those who have
listened TO Mrs Leases magnetic voice
and eloquent words in the past will be
glad TO avail themselves of another
chance to hear her. while those who
have not yet had that pleasure should
by all means attend this lecture.
The Kansas City World sent a special
correspondent 10 Wichita a short time
ago TO interview Mrs. Lease. Among
other complimentary things which the
World took occasion to say was its COM
ment on her voice. for indeed there Is
something so marvellously magnetic in
her voice that even her enemies cannot
but admit its wonderful power. The
World said: Perhaps the most remark
able feature of this remarkable woman
is her voice. 1t is a rich contrsltO, not
the least masculine, and she keeps it in
admirable control so far as enuncia-
ton and infection are concerned; but
when she begins to warm up on her sub
ject. when her thoughts travel as light

in cataract, leaping and flashing, SEN

What Ais Tsp" Is a new lecture pre-
pared by Mrs. Lease expressly for this
occasion, and 1t viii deal with subjects
in which every patriotic citizen is deep

lecture is not confined TO Wichita is ap-
parant from the fact that the press OF
the whole country is commenting upon

gone out, while Kansas City, Chicago.
