LETTERS FROM THE LOVELORN.

er, and while the actress may have
been sincere in her liking for the
kindly farmer, perhaps she never
even thought OF such turn in the
affair as matrimony. Too often do
we confuse regard and sentiment,
friendship and affection. And how
many people are made unhappy just
because they allow themselves to be
discouraged in what promises to be
an affair of the hearth
a very lovclorn young fellow, not
day over twenty-five, confided IN
me that he was in love with woman
of forty, and after he disclosed his
secret inamorata ] laughed at him,
for she was the happy mother of
three boys nearly as old as he.
Fie, for shame, on the schoolgirl
of fourteen who writes to me, tell
ing me she waits outside the theater
every day for glimpse of her matt
nee idol! Some day she will be
mighty sorry she did not spend more
time at books, for good looks soon
die and if girl isn't clever she can
not hope for many colorful romances.
Many girls write that they are
secretly engaged and that they think
1t is much more romantic to keep
it from their parents. One unhappy
story l know about a girl who would
elope always comes back to me and
| think of it so often.
Her parents opposed her marriage,
so they decided to elope. the girl
climbing out of her window on a
ladder which he had set against the
side of the house Something
frightened her, she lost her balance
and fell, so injuring her spine that
she was forced to remain in bed the
rest of her life-thirty-fvc unhappy
drab years of sorrow and suffering
There are several more such let
tcrs which l am going to answer
next week.

have been threatening for long

u have been threatening for long
time to publish some of the
letters, without betraying the
names. Of the senders, that are mailed
to me asking my advice on love,
real and imaginary. Here comes the
first letter, and it is only one of hun
dreds exactly like it:
"Oh, Miss Pickford, will you please
advise me what to do, as l am des-
perately in love with man who
does not even know l am in exist
ence? He is a moving picture actor
and for the last three years ! have
never missed going to see one of his
pictures when it came to Our town
81 think he is the handsomest man
in the world, and because / am so
crazy about him | have no time for
the other boys who would be nice
to me if l would let them. Do
tell me what should do? l have
written him many times and never
got an answer from him. The last
time l told him just how l felt
toward him and sent one of my pic
lures. Now l am watching the mails
every day and am terrified that he
will not acknowledge my love letters.
What had ! better do? Write to
him and ask him to return all my
letters and my picture, or not write
to him again.
Most of the actors, if they are not
too busy, will answer letters from
sensible, intelligent correspondents
who write either of their appreciation
or even of their own ambitions. But
there are very few actors who do
not put aside all letters that come
from foolish, sentimental girls No
doubt yours were destroyed with
hundreds of others, as he is one of
the most popular actors on the
screen. But do not be worried about
your picture-it is a code among
them that they protect even the
most unwIse.
This incident makes me think Of
little story about very dear friend
of mine, an actress, who received a
letter from just such girl, asking
similar advice. Knowing my friend
was playing in the same company
with the hero of her choice, the girl
offered many bribes if she could only
be introduced to this actress lead
ing man. Such a cunning little note
my actress friend wrote back to her!
Indeed l am in a position to intro
duce you to Mr.. So-and-So, as he
and have been married for the past
FIVE years"
Now comes a letter that to me is
pathetic, from man who signs him
self Sixty Years Old": Last sum
mer a moving-picture company came
to our town to take pictures, and as
had a very pretty little farm l was
only too glad to let them photograph
it. One of the moving-picture ac-
tresses was so nice to me and when
she went away promised to write.
have written to her and asked her to
marry me, but l only have got a
postal in return. Now | am quite
lonely and discontented. Why were
they so nice to me when they were
here and treated me so badly when
they went away?

their pelts for all sorts of fur gar

MOleskin does not masquerade un-

them together makes an expensive un-
