ssGive man a girl he can love
AS I, oh. my love. love thee.
And his heart is great with the pulse
Of fate
At home. on land. or at sea-
what is the subtle charm about an
actress which fascinates the hearts of
so many people who know them only
as they appear behind the footlights?
If the actress is fair to look upon,
youthful. there are many masculines
to whom she appeals, irresistibly.
Perchance enc of the party of young
men sitting in a box, or in a. front row,
catches her eye as she utters some bit
of sentiment. He hts a responsive
heart In an instant the torch of in
fatuatdon is lighted In his bosom. He
besieges the box office for an introduce
ton, If he knows the manager. 1t does
not occur to him that it is artifce
when the manager puts him off with
one plausible excuse and another. He
sends the actress notes, flowers and
bon-bons. Fate seems to be against
him because of the fact that they do
not reach her. The messenger boy al
ways returns with the gifts or notes
bearing the same story-she was not
there. If his infatuation for the ac-
tress has taken deep root, and he is a
young man who has leisure and money
to follow his inclination, he is apt to
present himself in every town where
the cf1arners Is playing, quite oblfvi-
Gus to the fact that he has had no en-
courageLnent.
The people from behind the foot
lights, from the stage hands to the
star, are having no end of nnerrim tent
at his expense. To the actress her
self, this homage forced upon her Is
intensely annoying; especially If she
is a. wife and mother Her coquetry
and aI1uring smiles are her stock in
trade, her meal ticket. IF men viii
fall in love with her on account of it,
she is not to blame
Every night before she goes to her
bed she writes long letter to her
dear hubby, who is travelling on the
road with another company After
two or three pages filed up about their
children on at school, she devotes am
other half sheet telling him of the
foolish "Johnnie'' who follows the com
pany from town to town, still bonn
harding her with letters, which she re-
turns unopened
There are true and good wives and
mothers to be found among the pretty
gdrlish, stage beauties They would
not care a flip of their finger whether
they were known as Mrs or Miss
lie they could draw the same salary In
either case Indeed, many OF the ia
vorite actresses wish that they could
tell the world what happy home life
year with an adoring husband and
large family OF boys and girls about
them. The sensible man who falls in
| love with the actress should make it q
point TO And out at the outset whether
she is free to receive his addresses or
not. She is one person on the Stage
quite another of. Mems devotion does
not datter her. She loves only one
true heart, and that one she is LAWFUL

been going with a young lady for a
few years whom love dearly. Lately

GIRL WITH BROKEN
JAW LAUGHS TT BACK
INTO NORMAL PLACE:

Trenton, N. j.. March 5.-A new
experiment in painless surgery was
tried here this afternoon in the Nc
KinIey Hospital by DR.. H Il. DoHin-
ger. formerly connected with the Long
Island College Hospital. His patient
Miss Ida Tucker, eighteen years, of
Pennington avenue suffered from a
fracture of the jaw. Twice the sur
geons tried to set the bone, but with
out result.
with a. sudden inspiration, DR. Doll
Iinger told joke to the other sur
geons, loud enough for the girl to
hear. AS they laughed spontaneously,
she Joined in. The natural action
threw the bone into position and the
surgeons quickly bound it where it
had set itself. If all goes well Miss
Tucker will be able to leave the hos
pital within a few days. DIR. Do1linger
says he thinks she will agree the joke
was the cIeverest she ever heard.

SEND HIM A
BELATED VALENTINE
Dear Miss Lihbey:

Dear Miss Lihbey:
am a girl OF twenty-five, in love
with a boy of twenty-one Six years
ago we were schoolnaates, when we fell
in love. Ten months from then we
moved. At first his folks all treated
me nicely. but later his mother grew
cold toward me, and am sure tried
to keep us apart; he, being a Chris
tian, would not cause trouble in his
home, so did not keep me company,
but we met in other ways and he all
ways treated me nicely. He has never
kept company with any other girl
His father encouraged us in our love
affairs. About a year ago I moved to
another state. When saw him last I
did not know was going to leave. I
met his father when was leaving.
He asked me to write to his son. He
said he knew his son would answer. I
wrote, but never feeling it was a girls
place to write first. I wrote letter
which I realize now seemed cold and
unfriendly to him. did not ask him
to write, although. sent him my new
address. I spoke of writing to others,
meant girl friends, but he never
knew it. That has been nearly a year
ago and have never heard from him.
They are real well of, while we are
poor, which I think IS the reason his
mother acts SO. He is my ideal of
young manhood and know can
never love any one but him. I have
reason to believe that he is stdIl true
to me. He was not twenty-one yet
when he received my letter. believe
If wrote him q nice, friendly letter
now he would answer it. Please adj
