Wants Nice Friends

Dear Cynthia-I am a girl of nine

boys and girls, and this is the question
| cannot see through:
/ wonder why it is that mostly every
time / go out with n fellow and he
takes me home he asks me for kiss.
refuse him, and l never see anything
of him any more.
I wish you could give me some good
advice as to how ! could gain the true
friendship of some refined chap and
whose friendship could depend upon.
ANXIOUS.
You are lucky. indeed. that these
boys do not call again. They are not
the kind of men you would want for
friends. They are men who must al ,
ways be making love to girl, but
without an idea of sincerity in their
protestations of affection. Do not won
der why they do not come back. BE
grateful that they do not. You will
meet other men and make good friends
in time

SYNOPSIS

Virginia West enters boarding
school and Immediately becomes
friendly with Kathleen Foster: the
leader of the school. Virginia s
friendship is disinterested. but Kath-
lcen's is selfish, and the matter of the
annual school play proves this, for
Virginia unexpectedly shows talent
for mimicry and is given leading
nart, which does not exactly please
Kathleen.

Please. Cynthia, print this letter, and

CAMPAN|N|, LEADER
OF OPERA, IS DEAD
Director General of the Chi
cago Company Was Born in
1860 in Italy.

CHICAGO, December 10 (by the As
ISOLATED Press).-Cleofonte Campanini,
director general Of the Chicago Grand
Opera Company. died Of pneumonia
this morning. Maestro Campanini was
in a weakened condition when he came
to Chicago to direct preparations FOR
the opening of the grand opera season
November 20. At that time it was not
thought that his illness was serious.
A few days after the opera season be-
gan, however, his condition became
worse and he was confined to his room
under treatment Of a physician.
He grew weaker gradually and three
weeks ago was removed to hospital.
There pneumonia developed and heart
trouble defeated efforts of four physt-
clans to aid his recovery.
For the past few days his condition
had been critical. with gradually weak
ening heart action as the chief source
of anxiety. A bulletin issued two days
ago by his attendants said that the
pneumonia was dissolving under treat
ment.
Born in Italy I'm 1850.
Campanini was born September 1.
1860. in Parma. Italy, and first studied
music in the conservatoire there.
While still youth he took the first
violin dest at the Parma Opera. At the
age of twenty-three he was director of
the Parma Opera, and conducted Car
men," his brother Italo Campanini, a
famous tenor. singing Don Jose.
The opera at Parma served as a
stepping stone and he was called to
direct the famous La Scala at Milan,
where he was praised by Verdi.
Henry Abbey, the American impress
sario, was so impressed with the pro-
duction Of Carmen" that he offered
the young man an engagement at the
Metropolitan Opera House. New York.
There he conducted the second per-
debut of Sembrich in La Somnam-
bula." He returned to New York the
following year to produce for the first
time in America "Othello." in which
his brother, Italo, appeared in the
title role. and his wife. Eva Tetrazzini
Campanini, sister of Luisa Tetrazzini,
appeared as Desdemona.
His reputation firmly established.
Campanini went from one musical
center to another until he had con-
Quoted in every big opera house in
France. Spain. Italy and South Amer
lea. For nine years he held the ba-
ton in Covent Garden. London. Every
singer of note in the last thirty or
thirty-five years has sung under his
direction.
Aids Hammerstein.
When Oscar Hammerstein arranged
to present grand opera in New York
in opposition to the Metropolitan
opera he selected Campanini to as

plete charge of directing the produce
tions. This arrangement, which con-
tinued from 1906 through 1909, was
responsible for many novelties of the
French school in addition to intro
ducing such notable artists as Luisa
Tetrazzini. John Mccormack, Mary
Garden and other famous stars.
With the organization of the Chi

SCISSORS, Wednesday, December
II (By the Associated Press).-Grad-
ual transformation of the battle
swept regions of northern France
back to the normal conditions is be-
ing everywhere noted by the Associat-
ed Press correspondent who, with spe-
cial facilities extended by the gov
eminent, is making a tour through the
devastated regions to observe their
steady progress toward recovery.
This rehabilitation is observable in
the revival of industries, the estab-
lishment of new ones and the intro
duction Of modern equipment, and 1t is
even noticeable in the return of vast
fiocks and herds Of domestic animals
depleted by the war, back to the nor
NAL basis required for the domestic
needs of this region.
When war swept over the ten de-
partments along the battle front, do
nestle animals disappeared. most OF
the stock being taken as food for the
armies, while the birds and fowls fled
from the conclusion of the great guns.
Now with the gradual return to pre-
war conditions the thrifty French
peasant small farmer is making he
roic efforts to recoup his fortune and
to rehabilitate his land.

BATTLE SWEPT NORTHERN
FRANCE BECOMING NORMAL

Domestic animals are being greatly
treasured for their food value and are
cared for by their owners with the
same solicitude shown toward their
children. Poultry and rabbits are kept
in warm quarters and fed regularly.
even though 1t is necessary now and
then for the people themselves to go
without a square meal. New impetus
also is given to the breeding of small
domestic animals in order to replenish
the restricted supply.
Because of the fact that pastures
were for the most part destroyed by
shell fire and gas it has been found
very difficult to get forage for cows,
and therefore cattle are scarce at
present.
In the field of industry the notice
