The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-07-31
BY JANE WHITAKER.

If it is your opinion that romance
exists only in moving picture shows
and not in the prosaic lives of work.
ing girls read this story and be con-
WINGED that you are at fault in your
judgment.
Frances Briscko is girl of Is. She
is tall and strongly built. She is rath-
er pretty. Had she been well educated
she might have made great writer
of fiction, and who knows what the
future may hold? However, in her
past she is the daughter of a farmer
in Boyne City, Mich, and has hard
working, conscientious father and
mother and five brothers and sisters,
and Francis spent less time in school
than she did learning the prosaic art
of homework and farm chores.
But even this could not kill ro-
nance. Long after the sun had gone
to sleep and the world was lighted
only by the silver dust of the moon
Frances would sit and dream and her
dreams were all of big city where
romance abounds.
She came to Chicago. She may
have secured a position, but she will
not tell. At any rate, she wearied of
being merely one of the drab crowd
and longed for the spotlight.
And so, as Dolly Silverstein, she
dramatically declared in restaurant
that she had swallowed poison and
was taken to the Peoples Hospital.
1t was there that we met. The ply
sician seemed doubtful about the poi
son, but was permitted to interview
Frances, now known as Dolly.
The tale she told was pathetic
She had plenty of money when she
came to Chicago from Detroit where
she had worked for few years. She
was an orphan, alone and friendless.
Her money was gone. Loneliness was
intolerable. She could not get work.
She had met a girl and the girl had

Then again descended intolerable
loneliness and finally Dolly visited the
girl again, wandered into the bath
room, saw a bottle labeled poison,
took a handful of tablets and then
wandered on the street.
This was quite early in the fore
noon and Dolly wandered about.
Then she met a mysterious woman.
And the mysterious woman promised
her nice position if she would meet
her in the restaurant that night. But
the woman didn't come, Dolly said,
and so Dolly told of taking poison.
l questioned her, but she had no
memory of addresses or of dates, or
in fact of anything not connected
with romance, and, after making her
promise she would call on me when
she left the hospital, l left her.
l did not hear from her. When l
called up the hospital was informed
that Dolly had a position and for a
few weeks there was no more ro-
nance. Ee.' s.-
Then again Dolly came into the
spotlight. This time she had been
lost in the country and walked
miles and miles, but as her cloth
ing was .dustless, heartless press
and police force refused to believe
the story, though a policeman says
he helped Dolly and told her to come
to him if she needed anything again.
A few days ago Dolly again came
into the spotlight, but this time as
Dolly Stanley. She had tainted in a
restaurant, was taken to the Ravens
wood Hospital, and told of taking
poison after she had gone hungry for
days and cruel women had refused
her aid. But when her stomach was
pumped out it showed that Dolly had
not exactly starved.
She was placed in the care of Mrs.
Leonore Meder, whose sympathies

Pocahontas and Red Men

The council of the evening was so taken up with business of import ance and the sampling of so many good things, with which the con- mittee had fully provided to satisfy the appetites of those present, that there was very little time left in which to travel the historical trails of the tribe. We wefe, therefore. satisfied to only briefly study the leaf, and draw the comparison Of Thackeray's poem of 'Pocahontas, - with the actual incident as recorded in history, which bears out the opin- ion of the chiefs of these leafs that poets must have a very vivid imag ination to produce from such a source so beautiful sentiment The poem is well known to all school children. but the actual facts upon which it is founded. not so generally known, is an epoch in the early settlement of the state of Virginia by English colonists, who at this particular time were under the leadership of Captain John Smith, whose dealings with the Indians was on a commercial basis, and who upon this occasion had penetrated several miles further up the Chicahominy river than usual, and was captured by band of In dians under Chief Opechancanough. a brother of Powhattan, the great chief of the province.
