story of my stage career" -.
And though Miss Sears points with
pride to twenty years behind the foot

not find a telltale wrinkle on her race

a fountain of perpetual youth.
"Well, do you know, / think these
comedy roles have a great deal to do
with it. You can't imagine the pleas

a pleasure to have people tell you how

Newark feel like home"
And besides acting and writing Miss
Sears finds time to make her own
cloehes and embroider every article
which can possibly stand for that oper-
alton. She always has a waist or some
thing else at hand in her dressing
room so that her nimble fingers are
never idle.
And, oh yes, one noteworthy fact in
her career is that for ten years she
has played roles written for her by
one author, the late Clyde Fitch.
1.-The Wardrobe Woman" is one of
the most interesting sketches included
in the vaudeville repetoire, and even
if the vehicle were not a success you
just couldn't help enjoying the work
of the leading lady who tells you so
calmly;
Il have worn this same blond wig
for twenty years, and if I believed all
the things men have told me when |

That isn't Miss Sears speaking in pri-
vate life, gentle reader, SO don't be
shocked. It's the Miss Sears at work,
or rather at play, for aside from her
talent it's the pure delight of living and

she steps on the stage that makes her
sketch one you never want to miss.

And then because before Miss Sears
took to the calcium" she earned her
daily bread and the raiment wherewith
to clothe herself by setting forth bright
thoughts for the edlhcation of the read"
ing public, she knew exactly the pro-
per etiquette for one in h process OF

paper days she had, perhaps, often PIC

PEOPLE M|SLEO,
SAYS MONs|GN0R
Rev. |. P. Whelan Gives Opinion
Regarding Ruthenian Church
Controversy.

Either the R~uthenians of the First
Ruthenian Presbyterian Church, in
Beacon street, have been fooled or else
some of the Presbyterians have a
leaning toward Catholicism, is the
opinion expressed by Monsignor Isaac
p. Whelan concerning the doing away
with the Greek forms of worship and
the substitution of Presbyterianism in
the church.
"You can never get the people of
that congregation TO give up their
manner of w~orshipping," asserted Mon
signor Whelan, because they have
beer Greek Catholics for generations.
The Greek Catholic ceremonies are d
vital part of their lives. I believe
those who tried to make them Pres
byterians knew they could not be-
come conscientious believers in Pres
byterianism. They deliberately tried
to trick them into giving up their
mother church, in my opinion, by gloss
ing over the forms of worship and by
giving them a minister such as Pyn-
dykowski.
"As regards his resignation from the
pastorate of the church, / don't know
as he was really a priest, anyway. He
was probably in it for what he could
get from the Presbytery."
Rev. DR.. Davis w. Lusk, secretary
of the church extension committee,
stated today that no split in the con-
gregation was anticipated. Every
thing is going along smoothly" said
he. Some of the %practises of the old
Ruthenian church were tolerated, ae-
cording to Dr.. Lusk, because to have
done ava with them all at once would
have been too revolutionary. THE
Presbytery will take care of the mat
ter all right" said he, land no trouble
has been encountered and none is ex-
pected."
Tt is understood that the Ruthenians
will erect another church and with
draw from the Beacon street ediflce
that was built for them by the Pres
bytery al a cost of $780, 00. Ever since
the church was organized there has
been ~dissensions among both the Prot
estants and Catholics alike over the
form of worship.
The pastor, Rev. Vladimir Pyndy-
kowslSi, has handed In his resignation,
to take effect April /.

Over-eating is what we hav named
q condition of the stomach found
largely in this country. 1t is due to
improper eating for a long time. It's
symptoms are mainly loss Of appe-
tite, more or less disgust for food, no
matter how nicely it is served or how
wholesome it may be; quickly satisfied
appetite (you feel like eating a good
sized meal, but a few mouthfuls n
you can eat no more) and distress
after eating. That is typical over-eatis
stomach disorder. If not cared for
this disease 500 goes on to chronic
gastritis. Don't let yourself get into
such a condition. Get q bottle Of Rita
Tone. You will need no clock to tell
you when meal time comes round.
