All Is Faire
In Love, Says
sIhe Teaser"
Miss Binn-y Lets Fate, in the
Person of William Brady,
Decide Things for Her
By I1arrsette Underhill

Fatre, which, by tho way, is her real
name, only we were not on hand to
mark the change. Tho last time we
talked to Miss Binney sho was sixteen,
and she stood where the brook and
river meet, but her feet were not
bit reluctant. She longed to be
young lady. Now she is one, and
wouldn't It be terrible If she should
become up-stage and spoilsdf Guess
she isn't going to, though she did seem
. lot moro dignifed than she used. to
be, and never once did she ask our ad-
vice nor tell Us word about her beaux,
nor her romances, nor her ideals, nor
sny Of the things which we used to
discuss with Faire when she was FRITZ
and had bodied hair. Now her hair
has grown down and she has grown up.
A Sort of
Vicarious Triumph
OF course we were on hand to see
the debut Of our young friend when
she appeared as 1.-THE Teaser," and it
seemed to us that she gave terribly
clever performance. However, we
about it before we said anything TO
Miss Binney, SO We ordered all the
papers for the next morning and read
the reviews almost as eagerly as
though they were written about US, and
We could Just fancy how the littlest
Miss Binney felt when she read those
notices, for We haven't forgotten the
morning we picked up The Memphis
News and read "Miss Underhill can
not sing, but she was so good-natured
that we all forgave her. Her vivacity
is amazing" We have that notice yet,
and never since have We been afraid
Of dramatic critics. Miss Binney isn't
now, either, though she confided to as
that she couldn't look at the papers at
the last moment---that Connie and her
mother had to read them to her and
sswhen Connie read right out In the
head what Haywood Broun said about
mo wouldn't believe it; thought she
was teasing me; but there it was, in
black and white and my favorite
critic, too. You always knew that,
didn't you? So you can't think that

such splendid things about me-"

like that about very many people. or

HOh. no, indeed" said Miss Binney in

Grey is wonderful, and she's so sweet"

shut, FRITZ, what partl How did you
get it?
"oh," said FIRTH calmly. eft was
offered to me, and didn't know wheth-
er to take It or not. I had two picture
offers, and, Of course. there Is lots
more money in pictures and no re-
hearsals and no danger of the show
being closed after two weeks, nor any
thing like that. Which shall it be;
which shall 1t be?' said to mamma,
wise me. WELL I said, I'll tell you
What I'll do. I'll 60 away on my vaca-
ton and whoever sends for mo first

OF course, ono may take this with
ressrvations, as Miss Binney has been

Almost Like
The Three Twins
Fare has grown to look SO much like
Constance that they are taken for
twins. although there is two years
difference in their ages. Their mother
wight almost pass for another twin
were It not for the fact that she has
blond hair and blue eyes. FAIRIES eyes
are brown, according to the lines in the
rlay, and they really are brown, too, al
Enough they look blue from across the
{ootlights. Several times during the
svening Annie's various slaves rave
about her brown eyes and the damage
they have done to their hearts. Now,
Miss Binney can damage hearts, all
right, although you no more expect
to find her with brown eyes than you
would expect to find them on kit
ten.
Several times while we were in Miss
Binnoy's dressing room she received
invitations to dine, for it was just after
the matinee. To all she said: Sorry,
I have an engagement" but she didn't
look very sorry. And then we heard
male voice iii the corridor calling,
"Fritzii Fritzil" and blond young
man with pink cheeks appeared at the
door. He was introduced to us as
"young Mr.. Brady" and that's all we
know about him. FRITZ went to the
