r Lady, Il was reading an art1-
Gle the other day which was
wrote by lady reporter. and the ar
ticle told about her walking all over
New York on a newspaper story for the
Sunday paper The story was to be
about the experience of a girl friendless
and alone and penniless in this great
city. 1t wound up by telling how she
got shelter at a fine place for girls,
where a kind faced matron showed her
to a beautiful room"
What about it?" asked the Head
Barber. who had just lost two dollars
matching quarters with a customer
worth half a million dollars.
You don't need to be grouchy,
George" said the Manicure Lady. Il
was Just thinking how beautiful it must
be to be a frfendless girl and get such a
nice place to go to. Thank goodness
we are through with all Of them Dark
Ages. where there was so much dark
ness"
you are having one Of your daffy
streaks," said the Head Barber, bluntiy.
How many times have / told you that
YOU mustn't believe everything you read
in the papers? It's a cinch that the
young lady reporter walked around and
down Fifth avenue with her head and
eyes to the front the way she told
about in the paper, but I'd like to make
nice little bet that the matron at
the beautiful home for girls knew who
she was. Them matrOns get pretty

THERE are TWO Things that distin
guish Belle Riancne from other
headiners in vaudeville,
one is THAI she has real grand
opera voice and the other that she is so
much like home gil that you have
to make a real effort to remembe. that
she is on the stage at all.
There's nothing Of the emotional
temperamental, tear-things- pieces
business about little Miss Blanche, and
if you saw her in her home and din't
know that she sang or was on the stage
you would never believe that She was
anything but mothers daughter, just a
sweet little home body
OF course, when You hear her sing,
that's Il different thing. You wonder
how that great big voice can come from
such a little mite of a person, and
you're still more surprised to think that
the voice has been there for some time
and really owes its origin Ia the Gerry
society
Yes, indeed. In the irrepressible con-
tiict which is always waged between
precocious genius and the Gerry So
ciety the society won, and decreed that
Miss Blanche, aged eleven years, who
was making tremendous success as
q singing infant prodigy. should retire
from public life until she was sixteen.
"One of the hardest things I ever had
to do little Miss Blanche said 10 me,
