DICK AUSTIN

the Second Tennessee district until March 4, will learned with
regret by his many friends throughout the state who from time
TO time, or a. his services were required, received many cour-

Mr.. Austin was one OF the three members OF the Tennessee
delegation that supported the selective draft system for raising
an army.
He was a consistent supporter Of the presidents policies in
the conduct OF the war, forgetting politics in the face OF a ma
tional crisis; he was a patriot rather than a politician, and while
his attitude cost him his Job al the hands of the roek.ribbed
Republicans Of East Tennessee, he sustained the respect and ad-
rniration that he had gained through a number OF years of con-

learn how many earnest young women there
are here who dreaming of glory through
the art of painting as Eovelsts dra-
matists. All of them need help of one kind or
another. II it isn't money they require then
it is influence. Introductons to persons of
power in the field they have chosen are not
only desra BILE but necessary.
Surely there Is nothing harmful in seeking
out the individuals who give such intro
Guctions. and the good pal reasons that it is
her right to make use of her wiles to win the
interest of such persons. But there are many
men of high standing in the upper circles of
New York who look upon her a pest They
are harassed day in and day out by girls who
are striving to find foothold in the citys busy
life, While the man OF power. who has quite
an active time of it attending TO his af-
fairs, regards the good pal as a nuisance. he
prefers her thousand times to the vampire
girls who try to win interest solely through
appeal
Therefore the girl who appears to cast aside
the ordinary allurements and who makes her
bid for friendship a frank basis OF comrade-
ship gains her point more frequently than her
more fascinating competitors. There is some
thing almost boyish in the demeanor of the
good pal who is not actuated by the matrimo-
NAL Bee in her bonnet and who instead is
bending all her efforts to acquire the kindly
interest Of some man who can help her to rise
in the world- When she does acquire that
kindly interest the path is smoothed for her
to make her way forward and upward-that is,
it is snoothed for her IL she really has talent.
