Both by pen and by the spoken word
I mean.
You don't see just what I'm driving
at?
Wen. say your club or your society,
should ask you to draw up set of

sit down and write it off rapidly?
1 don't believe you could. If you are
an average person I wager there would
be infinite erasures, frequent interim
ings and several drafts before the thing
was finally done.

If you could, you are one in hun

There is no ability that helps so much

man may have. he is apt to find his
path far from smooth. if he is lacking
in that ability.
as much pains as now is should be
given both at home and in the school
to training children in the power of
self expression.
For one thing think children should
be encouraged to keep diaries.
or course diaries aren't the fashion
nowadays. A line-a-day book is the
proper thing if YOU must keep any

Mrs. Eli Foster has returned from

last week and attended grand opera.
The Metropolitan Opera company is in
Chicago with its wonderful galaxy of
400 real artists Mrs. Foster heard
Slezak in aida and says that his voice
rivals the magic wonders of Caruso's.
Gadssi was there in IL Trovatore, and
the naughty Geraldine Farrar is sing
ing in Madame Butterfly. Louise
Homer is creating a sensation as Am
neris in Aida, and Scott is still in the
limelight and making everybody hate
him as Iago in 'Othello.'' There is a
possibility that q part of the company
will come to Kansas City later, and If
that happens it is quite likely that a
