 other friend, Joseph Renard, a vio- linist. Success comes to her on the stage, and just when it is about to turn her head the real April tri- umphs and she discovers that she cannot give up the man whom she believes to be a poor, plodding fail ure. But. as in all good fairy tales Edgar has made her success possible rot only because he has worked with her and encouraged her, but because he is a rich, & clever and success ful man who has been masquerad- ing all the time under an assumed name This is too much of the plot to tell but there is more, and it will fascinate every one who sees Dear Me" at the Jefferson theatre.
 There are laughs, in scenes of ex- quisite comedy, and bright lines that
 sparkle at times, and there are oth- CT passages where one feels just a bit moved, even if one is not sus- ceptible to most of the make-be- lieve that is paraded on the stage under the guise of sentiment.
 Mir Hamilton played Edgar Craig the millionaire whose real name is Prentice, with the ease and finish of an accomplished actor. He is a most agreeable comedian whose role in this play gives him every oppor- tunity to reveal his ability. Miss La Rue, both in singing and acting, was delightful. These two carried the burden of the play on their shoulders, but it rested lightly, judg- irg from the success they achieved in a performance that was excellent from beginning to end Close to Miss La Rue and Mir. Hamilton, botr in histrionic ability and importance l in the play, was Luis Alberni, whe acted the part of a temperamenta

 pathy. Without Joe " >a- -Me
 would lack one of its most attrac- tive characters. The others, includ- ing Baker Moore as Dudley Qua and Camilla Crume as Mrs. Carney helped to lnake the performance one Of the most enjoyable seen on a To- cal stage in a long while
 One could not help noticing one touch which is characteristic or th' Golden productions. and that waS the finale. All the failures were successes.

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS.
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a young
girl IT years old. went STEADY" with
a boy whom L loved very much. he
also said he loved me dearly. Went
away for my summer vacation, think
ing / would find him here when re-
turned. We corresponded for awhile
A few weeks after I went away he TOO
went away. He told his friends there
was no use in his staying here with
out me and would come back as soon
as 1 would. He has not written to me
since he went away. Do you think ne
has forgotten me? 1 still love him.
Something keeps me from going with
other boys. What would you advise
me to do? His friends talk very nicely
about hiH. He is different from any
one else have met.
Would you~advise me to forget him
Do YOU think it all right to let a
boy kiss you for the pleasure of it,
1 have lost a number of boys by not
letting them. After going out with
them once or twice they expect one to
do it.
If the young man really loved you
he would correspond with you ana
would not let you drop out of his life
this way. It is evident that he has
grown indifferent and therefore 1
would advise you to try to forget him
and to go with other young men.
1t is not all right to let boy kiss
you for the pleasure of it. Kisses are
symbols of love and should not be
cheaply wasted.
