EIGHT PRIZES TO BE GIVEN

Do not forget that at noon on Wednes-
day, October $. will end The Mas
ter Mind" contest. for which eight prizes
are to be given by the Washington
Herald for the best eight ESSAYS on the
question whether the sad-hearted girl,
Lucene, in the play at the Columbia
Theater all this week. did right or wrong
in keeping back from her husband be-
fore marriage the fact that she had been
CONVICTED OF crime. The Herald's prizes
amount TO so in all. and so is the highest
prize Many essays continue to reach
us, but there is room for more. While
all essays coming in as late as noon on
Wednesday will be considered, yet 1t will
facilitate II the contributions are sent
in as early as possible.
Some correspondents, apparently I'M
certain of themselves, ask how they are
expected to deal with the play, IL, for
instance they shall consider The Master
Mind in several features OF only in
respect to the question as to whether
Lucene should have told her husband
before marriage that she had been con-
victed of crime and thus avert the pain
and sorrow of subsequent disclosures.
Our reply is that this is a matter for
the essayists themselves tC consider.
We would suggest that you see the

perplexing predicament and il you

are no arbitrary rules outside the rules
which are printed herein after. and which
will be printed for the last time to-

Here is an essay that is worth study
ing: The momentous question goes far
beyond the narrow limit Of personal fee
ings. 1t surpasses the surface of social
cOnventiOnalism. The age calls for jus
tice and satisfaction. hence the mask
moCkery OF fashionable living must now
be torn of and give place to reality, to
character. which is the essence of true
life. and which alone adorns matrimony.'
Another says: IF l were Lucene l
would have confessed all, for / believe
an open confession is good for the
soul What was good for her soul could
not have brought harm TO the man she
loved. II he loved her sincerely she
would, in spite of fate. still have had
