I have other young men chat would like to call, but I do not care for them. Kindly advise.
 MILE. You wish to wed and be happy, as all girls do. There is but one way to advise you That is to have a good heart -to-heart talk with your parents Gain their consent and marry. You will never regret this step. Do not leave home to marry and probably be sorry afterward.

WALLACE EDINGER
IN KEENEY'S FILM

A five reel special film "A Gentle
man of Leisure is booked at Keen
ey's for today and tomorrow. Wallace
Edinger, the best known society ac-
tor of today, is the leading character.
This photo play resen bles som ewnat
Mr.. Edinger's theatrical production
entitled 1.-THE Making of Bobby Bur-
nit which deals with the troubles
/ that q wealthy young man is liable
to have. The love affair is the main
item Of interest and it is not until the
final scene that the least hint of the
outcome Is given.
Mckenna and LaBlanche entertain
for forty minutes after the pictures
and each second produces new
laugh from the delighted audience.
Mr. MeKenna is a mimic of 4. first
class order; besides innpersonatine
Charlie Chaplin. he sings Al JoI-
sons stop Thief
The character singing Of Harry
Burgoyne never fails to bring tnun-
dering applause and he is forced to
respond to numerous curtain calls be-
fore he Is allowed to retire from the
stage. The representations of this
versatile comedian are especially de-
serving Of note. Harry has been in
every town of England and in each
place he has visited he has noted the
actions OF every character he came III
contact with. He has condensed his
observation into comedy act that
has no equal in vaudeville at the
present time.
The comedy sketch of the three
Moores introduces q new style of en-
tertainment in this city. The desires
of the audience are catered to, and
at every performance so far the peo-
pie have appreciated the endeavors
of, this talented troupe of gloom dis
pensers. The success of the enter
tainment lies in the fact that the
good old fashion songs of fifty years
ago are sung with scenic effects that
are in perfect harmony with the num-
bers.

the affairs of the city as our women
are in Chicago. Again. that's part
of the centrlization of the Chicago
women. Perhaps the city doesn't en-
courage that sort of thing, but what
ever the reason, that's the fact.
Another Advantage.
Now, there's another advantage
we have which is significant The
Chicago teacher has passed the point
OF agitation for equal pay with men
and for the privilege of teaching af-
ter marriage. She has achieved both
rights. She therefore has time to
develop her profession more fully, Q
process which New York teachers
must put second to their fight for
the two think they should have.
But New York is much richer i'll
opportunity for women than my city
is, There is scarcely anything
woman may not enter into in New
York You have women in real es-
tate. in big advertising firms; you
have T1rm of women architects; you
have women in almost every big bus
mess there is. That's only coming
IN chicago our women insurance
agents have taken the biggest step.
"TIGIlf- ISOplc.
But THIS matter of larger oppor-
tunity brings me to the consideration
of New York for writing people, for
her is the place of biggest opportun-
ity for writers, / am sure. It's re-
markably stimulating So many
people here are doing big things in
tho literary line. there are SO n,a~v
editors, SO many magazines That's
the numerical side of it. But then,
too. New i DIRK oners such ulverslly
of experiences that a writing person
can't walk out on the street without
seeing a story. That's again partly
because of the size of the city, but it
is likewise because it is a seaport and
is bringing Europe SO close.''

Mrs. Warren. II have heard writer's

not so much interest in plays out
there, by the way; everybody's going
TO the movies
Now, / want to commend this
about New York writers---that they
do seem to have "a greater social con-
seriousness and, moreover, a greater
radical consciousness, than the Mid
Gle Western writers. In the Middle
West a man goes off by himself and
writes, so to speak. But in New
York writer's group together, ally
themselves with big movements, stand
definitely for some reform. And
they accomplish more, I believe.
Business side of Writing
I'VE all come f1ocking to New
York, you see. We come streaming
in every six months or so, to see edi-
tors and to get stimulus That's
the business side of writing, the sur
veying Of the field, the contact with
the demand which more or less Gre
ates our supply. But writing is not
a business, / insist upon that. i en-
phatically do not think that the writer
who looks upon his profession as
a money making proposition will ever
write we'll 1t may be old fashioned,
but l am sure that writing must en-
anate from a direct impulse, Which
nothing in the world could keep down.
And for urging on that impulse. New
York is wonderful
