Introducing Monsieur |<Toto!''
By ZELDA BEDELL
-e-e-s and gentlemen!


 Let me introduce to you Monsieur Armando Novel1o, pantorninst extra ordinary, contortioniSt unusual, clown superlatiTe, a balm for the blues, tonic for trouble, narcotic for nerves. and a general hypodermic for the whole system!
 You don't know Monsieur?
 We'll, you can't be blamed for that, because there are few who DO know him by that name!
 He is '-Toto." the famous, acclaimed in all continents as the most fantas- tic and entertaining clown that ever trod tn tanbark or the boards
 Watch him on the stage at Polls CT, with baggy trousers, voluninous coat, trick hat, loose feet and Q body that seems made of India rubber
 But see him OFF stage and what2 A rather small, suave gentleman. gOod-1oo oking, muscular, with an air of wearing his clothes well, and the iiusive tmCsphere of an artist. A well-n1Odulated voice prOnounceS your name with Q decided accent, for Toto is Swiss, born in Geneva, right on the lake, and he has been in America but six years, hardly long enough to have absorbed it's nasal tones, al though he knows it's slang.

TO THE
 LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Benefits Forgot. Dear Miss Fairfax
 am going about with a young man who tells me he will marry me. When he was out of work and had no money I stuck to him spent half of what I had on him. Now, that he is working and has every thing, he is hurting my feelings He refuses to see me as. he used to and says he is willing to give me up if he cannot be with the boys-when with them I hear he gambles- What do you advise?
 BELLA D.
 Nothing so annoyS a man as to be reminded of other days and to be plagued for appreciation of past ben efits. You stood by the boy you love when he needed you-you'u drive him away if you remind him of it. Possi- ply his reaction to the wrong sort of com pany is just to forget the unhappy position Of dependence on a girl which was so recently his. Don't nag him now or whine about what you did for him then. The best way to influence him away from evil companions is to be more stimulating, amusing and charming than they can think of be- ing

 Is it wrong for q refined girl who is a very good dancer to go out to dances frequently?
