(. Until Vivian Burnett had passed
through college he still possessed the
fine head Of hair-though without
the love locks-which distinguished
Little Lord Fauntleroy." Also, like
Cedric Errol," who first won the
stern old English Earl's heart by
showing no fear Of the great mastiff
of "Dorincourt" named "Dougal," he
liked dogs and dogs liked him.
Alas! those thick brown ringlets
have disappeared long since. On the
date of his marriage two weeks ago,
Vivian Burnett owned dome as pol
ished as the best of them. Was It
his hidden grief over that terrible
Little Lord" handicap?
Undoubtedly the years which
Vivian Burnett found it hardest to
live through were the years at COL
lege. He was most numerically
"hazed." That cute velvet. suit with
turned up cuffs and turned down lace
cellar was always in readiness, and
Little Lord Fauntleroy"' had always

stunt
Once when his mother went to
Harvard to visit him and celebrate
his twenty-first birthday, he had a
heart-to-heart talk with her about
it. He said:
"The fellows are always asking me
If was the original of Little Lord
Fauntleroy.' They rub it in anyway,
and, believe me, it's no Joke"
AS he concealed from his mother
the real depth or his misery on that
account, and as she had no grievance
against the critics or the public en-
account of their reception Of her
masterpiece, she answered:
Just tell them that it is true
that had you in. mind always when
/ wrote it,"
After that Vivian Burnett was
always loyal. He never denied it
and "the fellows" were keener than
( ever to make "the punishment fit the
crime" ;
Quite naturally young Burnett de-
sired TO be elected member of the
aristocratic Harvard Pi Eta Society.
He knew what the penalty would be,
but that never daunted him. He was
ordered to go forth and secure
"Fauntieroy" clothes to, tit his now
we'll developed figure, and to wear
them until further notice-and to be
exceedingly careful to omit no de-
tail.
He went at the Job with character
istic thoroughness, designing cos
tune plates from illustrations In the
original edition OF his mothers book

priced tailor in Boston. The finished
result would have made Elsie Leslie

wild with envy. Short velvet
breaches, there were, long black silk
hose, fine lace for collar and cuffs
and an intelligent wigmaker outdid
the books hero in the way Of golden
love locks.
Burnett never "hedged," but swal-
lowed lhs penalty whole. He ap-
peared on the campus In broad day
light, the veritable Little Lord him
seif-though much outgrown, which
made the travesty all the more kill
ing as the students agreed. Then
the fun began. A college poet ex-
pressed it thus:

to see him dressed up so." y
In immaculate misery he went
about his student affairs, and when
the senior students smoothea his
shining locks, he forebore to upper
cut" them or land left hook" on
the jaw, as he yearned to do.
1t lasted. for two whole days, and
then the Pi Etas relented.
When in hurry his tormentors
usually called him Dearest" for
that was the way Little Lord Faunt-
leroy" always addressed, or spoke OF,
his mother. They forbade him to
have his hair cut, for that would
break Dearests' heart" When the
down began to thicken on his cheeks
and upper lip they affected the most
heart-rending grief. What blow
to "Dearest!" In Harvard they con-
fiscated his shaving tools.
Drive 'em back in" they com
manded. "Just fancy Little Lord
Fauntleroy' with whiskers!"
Talk about lying in flooded German
trenches in Flanders for months
under the guns of the French and
British! Mere child's play to what

fact of being the real-life prototype

Burnett-though this does not mean
that the Burnetts ever lacked social
recognition, for they never did.
Frances Hodgson's fascinating liter
airy gifts and performances made her
q social favorite even before she
married the socially popular DR.. Bur
nett. back in 1876, and the book and
play of Little Lord Fauntleroy"
made of her social, as well as a
literary .lioness on both sides Of the
Atlantic.
OF course, being his mothers only
son., and the model for Little Lord
Fauntleroy," Vivian Burnett inherited
his mothers literary and artistic
tendencies. 1t was in SUCH circles
that he was safe from the tormentors
who pursued HIN in the rude world
of school and college. There were
thus two reasons why, when school
days and college days were over, he
should apply himself more and more
to the arts and accomplishments of
the social cult, which inclines toward
the more refined ideals of life.
While in Harvard Vivian Burnett
wrote the libretto Of light opera
called, Fools Cold" which was pro-
duced by the students with great sue
cess. 1t was Of higher degree of
literary merit than is usually pro.
vided for college dramatics. 1t
caused the students to apply the soft
pedal just little bit from that time
on when they rubbed in Dear Ced-
ric," or, Vivian. love-" or, Little
Lord Fauntleroy."
Better than that, when young Bur
nett had graduated with honors, he
found himself pleasantly received in
New York literary society. AS it
was not necessary for him to grub
along at money-making, he devoted
himself more and more to art and
letters. He studied drawing. paint
ing and architecture. While he did
not produce very much, he became q
capable connoisseur, whose opinions
T'ere received with respect.
One fine architectural work he did
produce, however-the big Italian
villa at Plandome, Long Island. The
shining lights Of american art and
letters know that villa very well.
1t is not on the public records
where, or in what circumstances
Vivian Burnett first met Miss Con
stance Buel. The undertaking could
not have been difficult, for SHE was
a young woman Of pronounced arts
tic and literary tastes, and heI

Rebel President Must Treat

With Great Britain Over
Benton Death.

Wilson Again Reiterates Be-

WASHINGTON, March 2--Presi-
dent Wilson told visitors today that
Great Britain would not honor the re-
Quest Of Gen. Carranza to deal direct
~ with him.
Such a communication, the presi-
dent declared, would involve recognl-
ton BY Great Britain which is not
prepared to recognize the Constltu-
tionalists at this time. Despite Car
ranza's refusal to deal with the Unit
ed States in the Benton case, the pres
tdent said the state department is now
Awaiting reply from the rebel presi-
dent to it's most recent representa-
ton that a special commission of
United States be permitted to view
Benton's body He expressed the hope
that a reply will be forthcoming as
soon as Carranza's sense of personal
dignity is adjusted to the require
ments Of the situation.
Should Carranza maintain his pres
ent attitude the president is not pre-
pared to say what his next step will
be. The rebel presidents stand is
made weaker by the fact that there is
a tacit understanding among the pow
ers that the United States is acting
for foreign nations in all matters af-
fecting Mexico.
President Wilson again made 1t
clear that the United States is strong
enough to pursue it's present policy.
He declares that nobody doubted that
Huerta would Immediately have to re-
tire and that those advocates of a
more vigorous policy will have to be
patient.

NO PLACE
FOR SEX LECTURES
Superintendent Giles AT
signs Home As the Proper
Place to Educate Pupils on
Hygiene Problems.
QUESTIONS PROBLEM

superintendent J. T. Giles of the
Richmond public schools, just return
ed from an educational convention at
Richmond, Va, said today that he was
seriously considering the advisability
of arranging a series of lectures for
parents of this city on sex hygiene.
If the kind of a lecturer Mr.. Giles
desires can be obtained It is quite
probable such an arrangement will be
made
The place to teach eugenics, or
rather sex hygiene, is at the home
rather than in the schools, I am con-
vinced," Mr.. Giles said.
There were only a very few super
intendents at the convention of the
superintendent section of the Nation
al Educational Association who re-
ported successful experiments in in
Producing the study of sex hygiene as
part of class work." he continued.
He said school children as a gener-
al rule could not be made to accept
such instruction in a practical way
and that there was always the danger
1t would do them more harm than
good.
Schools Unprepared.
He is of the opinion that the only
satisfactory method for introducing
the study of eugenics in the schools is
for the children to be instructed indi-
vidually, but the average, teacher
would be handicapped in such work
by the press of other duties.
Mr.. Giles stoutly champions, how
ever, any movement tending to i'm
press upon parents the necessity of
them imparting to their offspring a
broader understanding of sex Ques-
lions. To this end he is considering
arranging for a series of lectures for
parents.
Asked his opinion of eugenic mar
riages, now being SO generally dis
cussed, Mr.. Giles said the advocates
of such a system failed to give the
necessary consideration to the prime
motive for nearly all marriages, which
is love. In his opinion about the near
est approach to the establishment OF
wedlock on eugenics basis is for
the state to require health certificates
Of the contracting parties.
