many things in Jim's life, and she
must simply accept the fact. She

with the knowledge that. after all. he
had chosen her. She must not let

The Manicure.

Even If YOU are not very expert

The professional manicurist will
tell you never, never, never to cut the
cuticle around the nails, but I have
yet to find a case where some cut
ting is not necessary. Undoubtedly
the most important part of the ma nj
cure Is this smoothing of the cuticle.
so the most important Of the ma nj
cure implements are the scissors.
These should be of the very best

Tell me, do YOU love me?

strange that anything produced by
this pot boiler method should have
taken a lasting hold on the popular
heart. 1t must be said that there was
in it's composition an element Of in
spiration Here is the story that is
given us for the origin of this song:
"A young man named r. NJ Stults.
who loved music and song writing,
was earning his living as salesman
in a Baltimore music store when a
Young lady entered in quest of
song. She was Myra Mirella. star of
the musical SHOW. The Tar and the
Tartar" which was then playing in
Baltimore She told MIR. Stults, who
was waiting upon her. that she
needed sentimental ballad that
would make hit for a certain
place in the second act of the play.
An old English song. "Afterward.

part fell fat she said. and she would
have to find substitute that would

Mr.. Stults offered and played over
many songs hut nothing that was
availa BILE in the shop struck Miss
Mirella as being the right one. Then
the young salesman told his customer
that he oCca sionally wrote songs ION
the side and that since he thought
he had a good idea of what she
wanted he would he glad to try his
hand at composing song to fill hor
needs. The actress agreed and made
an appointment To return for his
product-in 81 hours.
That night r. NJ. Stults sat down to
compose the song. and. as many Of us
find when we try to put vague ideas
into concrete form. he had difficulty
in getting started. Suddenly his

mark. THAT is the sweetest story
ever told The words Immediately

that line opened up an avenue of
ideas for love ballad. the result be-

Do YOU consider that the present
vogue for detective stories has any
connection with the so-called crime
waves? II so, do you regard it as a
healthy or unhealthy sign?
Answer--Some eminent thinkers and
countless intelligent people have pro-
fessed a fondness for the detective
story as recreational reading. AL
though not the highest form Of ltera-
ture. It Is preferable to much of the
ash-can variety Of reading matter
which floods the newsstands and the
book stores today.
1t IS very doubtful If the detective
story has an appreciate connection
with the present crime wave. Unless
one reads such tales immoderately,
the danger from them is negligible
compared with that from tainted or
decadent literature.
