and falling hair can both be overcome
by the regular use of Newbros Herpi-

ture intends.
Herpicide makes the hair bright,
snappy. light and fluffy.

GIRLS FRIENDLY SOCIETY
ORGANIZED,

Miss Eleanor Levin, Of Washington,
D. c., national organizer of the Girls
Friendly Society, spent several days
IN the city last week and on Thurs
day evening at the parish house of
Christ church organized a Pensacola
branch of this organization.
Miss Levin, a woman Of much force,
and beautiful Christian life, is doing a
wonderful work in organizing the
Girls Friendly Societies all over the
United States. There are now in ex-
istence on this side of the water many
branches of the society, numbering
100000 members. The movement was
started in England thirty eight years
ago and now not only in Great Britain,
but all over the world, the movement
has spread, hardly a city in the coun-
try not having such an organization.
Florida has one in Jacksonville. one
in Key West and the present one in
Pensacola. Preliminary meetings look
ing towards organization have been
held from time to time during the past
few months and a number of members
have been enrolled in Pensacola, and
five associates, the latter being Miss
Matte Whiting, Mrs Grant Knauff,
Mrs. w. S. Keyser, Mrs. Ellis Knowles,
Miss Orr and Miss Maudc Kendall,
secretary.
The membership is non -sectariau
the associates are, however, members
of the Episcopal church by which the
movement was started. The object of
the organization is much its name
suggests, a Girls Friendly Society, its
motive spring being purity of life AMI

Burdens"

ly with the income which they would
be able to honestly earn.
For instance, might be mentioned
Miss Mary Macon, daughter of the
retiring representative from Arkansas,
and great granddaughter of the man
for whom Macon, Ga, was named.
She has fine voice and considerable
skill in using it. She could capitalize
it if necessary.
Another musician of attainment is
Nine Jonkheer j. Loudon, wife of
the minister from the Netherlands.
Nine. Loudon, who was a Miss Eutis
OF New Orleans, studied abroad, and
has won plaudits at more than one
European capital.
Mrs. Lawrence Townsend, wife Of
the former American minister to Bel
gium, has unusual skill So also has

those who could earn living at this

Society can also set up a circus.
In fact, it is along this line that the
exclusive set shines more than in any
other. Among those who can ride bare
back, take a hurdle or dash through a
hoop or do any of the other hair rails
ing stunts that bring thrills to the
heart of the small boy, who sits en-
chanted under the circus tent, are the
Misses Alys and Julia Meyer, daugh-
ters of the secretary of the navy; Miss
Dorothy Williams, sister-in-law of
Joe Letter; Miss jeanette Allen,
daughter of Col. Henry Allen, and Mrs.
Peter Goelet Gerry, who was formerly

1t was the adoption Of air and light

with the occasional use of a COM

this parasite has multiplied to an

hardly a person who is not troubled
more or less with dandruff and falling

= 1S.-Study of Relief in King Lear.
The relief element in King Lear is
very elaborate. In analyzing the fool
ing Of the Jester, we find it gross in
territorial incoherence. But the uncon-
scious incoherence of discorded brain
may be used with the same effect.
The wildness Of insanity is used by
Shakespeare as q variation and relief
this Is seen in King Lear. AS the old
mans brain begins to, break down
under his daughters unkindness, he
passes first into the stage of hysteria.
20 how this mother swells up toward
my heart!
Hysterica passion down thou climbing
sorrow
Thy elements below"
side by side with this insanity we
have the feigned idiocy Of Edgar,
sometimes meaningless nonsense.
sometimes the nonsense of a typical
clown When a third type of nom
sense-the regular jester-is added, we
get a trio of madnesses-real, assum-
ed, rofessional-mingling their inco-
herent rawlings; a four form of wild
ness, the raving of the tempest out
side, plays a dreadful accompaniment
So complex is the relief element OF
this ragedy."-Moulton.

(a) Give the main plot. Lear rep
resents passion, Kent, conscience.a

plication of the main plot, show the
