BROADWAY DISCOVERED!
By Robert W. Chambers.

Broadway a den of home seekers
Robert W. Chambers says so. In re-
markable interview, the famous nov
elist defends the character of the New
York show girl. He says In part: l
find as study these young people that
not all is desire for s:gayety. for per-
sonal beauty and comfort and bright
ness, there is the old dominating i'm
pulse to mate Indeed often 1t is this
very desire which leads these young
people to Broadway; but what they
want is a home. the safe retreat, the
man that belongs to them. the child
that needs them"
There is profound truth In Mr..
Chambers gallant defense-the in
stinct In us all to love and to mate.
Mr.. Chambers has always thoroughly
exemplified this in his fiction, and
never so we'll perhaps as in his latest
novel, "The Dark Star" appearing
in Cosmopolitan Magazine.

a fortune of $25, 000,0 900, is the
