TALK

Talk is the water of living.
Talk is also expression-and
expression is the color which
neurishes the background to
personality. All other things
form but the trappings, significant
only in the man in his entirety.
All Of us must outlet ourselves
in talk.
The one with a heavy heart
must talk. He who is overjoyed
by great news must talk. In the
midst of doubt and questionings,
talk comes in to clear and make
plain.
Talk renovates the mind and it
brings hearts together. Talk stirs
the imagination and opens up a
thousand roads for the thought
to travel over. Talk is a sort of
pallet knife which mixes all sorts
of colors it'll which to paint the
pictures of experience, incidents
and cross lights.
Talk is able to cheer or chill.
Talk is power.
Don't save your talk. Let it
out. But make it mean some
thing. Make it carry something
very fine that is of you. Make it
stir the atmosphere a dull day till
it bristles with happy interest.
Make it put a million stars and a
full moon into another wise dark
night.
Not merely learn to talk-but
talk to learn. Waterman.

DE KOVEN OPERA INTER
ESTS MANY.

The coming Of robin Hood
is proving an interesting topic, re
futing as it does the idea that In
order to hear a really worthwhile
musical production, one must &C
to a big city.
Ralph Dunbar, whose advance
into prominence among producers
has been rapid, in noting this sit
uation, concluded that if the mil
lions in the smaller cities were ac-
corded a square deal in the pro-
duetion of real comic opera with
the same standards of uprightness
prevailing that govern legitimate
merchandising, relationship OF
confidence would result which
would make possible the bringing
to those cities of productions
fully equal to the best offered any
where. To. test his judgment, he
invested large sum in complete
new production of Robin Hood,
and with the cooperation of Reg
inald DeKoven and payment to
the latter of heavy royalty. he
organized his great company.
The plans matured before Mr..
DeKoven's death are being car
ried out as arranged.

Some times we hear the COM

nearly every week we receive ap-
preciative and appreciated letters
from absent subscribers who tell
us how much news We manage to

Probably you want US to be

stead of saying that "Mrs. Jones
