"He constantly asked me not togo on
the stage" Miss Graham said. "put

After Colonel. Singleton had been as

Mrs. Singleton said it was good

From the combined recollection OF
Mrs. Singleton and Miss Graham, here

Then they went over to the Studio Build

and got him i'm the park. The booze ana

In still other letters Mr.. Stokes took
Miss Graham 10 task for being bad
CORRESPONDENT, and asked her whether
she had received his latest offerings. He
occasionally inquired whether candy he
had sent had reached her Again, he
said il seemed 10 him that she was not
getting his letters, adding: Il am not
getting yours. Cheer up" At times he
told Miss Graham he was nearly dead
from overwork, and about TO have ner-
yous prostration. one letter, Miss era
ham said, had long account OF his suf-
fering from the toothache. He wrote
that the dentists had been unable 10 af-
ford him any relief but that after suf
ferjng for month he went 10 one with
a plan of his own. The tooth doctor
carried il through. and the result was
instant and. up 60 the time Of writing
permanent relief.
