Dear Jane Jordan-I am 80 years old.
For several years I have drifted along
with a lady in the late twenties. She
is good-hearted. industrious and very
economical. / have not spoken of love
with other fellows, which She does
not do.
I feel that / am taking her time to

trivialities. Neighborhood gossip is the
only theme upon which she can con-
verse. She knows that marriage never
has been my intention.
Since / met her. I have made just one
date, and that the frst one. She has
arranged every subsequent meeting, fur
has planned, and brings me back. She
would repeat this three or four evenings

a week.
I am trying to be fair. How can I
make her see she is not being, fair to
herself, without being downright rude
or brutal? SQUARE BOY,
Dear Square Boy-The situation
which you describe strikes me as a
good arrangement for you to get out
of before the lady begins to make
demands upon you. In a friend
ship where a woman's heart is in
volved and the mans is not and
never will be, the kindest thing he
can do is to withdraw and leave her
to find fresh fields to conquer.
So long as she is centered on you
she will not make any effort to find
some one else who is able to re-
turn her affections, but will hope
against hope that she can win yours
No woman can help being p~ossessive
in love, and if you continue your
policy of nonreSistance-look out!
Besides. if the lady is as trivial
mentally as you describe her to be,
you are doing yourself an injustice in
not seeking more stimulating COM

Nancy Gets a Job

Nancy Sheridan, popular lead
ing woman of the Cochran stock
company in 1881, has signed a
contract with Lee Shubert for
the principal feminine role in
"Cynara." This is the Philip
Merivale play which turned out to
be one of the seasons best hits.
Hollywood has already acquired it
as starring vehicle for Ronald
Colman.
Nancy Sheridan is now play
ing the role which has been filled
with distinction by Adrienne AL
len, English actress, who is the
wife of Raymond Massey, actor
director. Miss Allen goes to Para.
mount Immediately for featuring
in pictures.
Washington is interested in the
Sheridan career because regular
stock patrons recently voted her
the most popular of the E Street
leading women and advised that
she be signed UP for 1882. Con-
fronted with a real chance to win
Broadway attention, Miss Sheri
dan preferred to spurn the soft
pleadingS of Impresario Cochran
to return hither for the approach
ing repertoire season. All the
stock actors like Nancy Sheridan,
for besides being fine student
and a good actress, she has one of
those agreeable dispositions which
makes everybody her friend. All
the E Street regulars wish her the
best of luck in her big chance

This chapter of an autobiog

How to Enjoy EN-

MY Dear Mr.. Hellinger, "
writes Dorothy D.: Per
haps you would like to take up
the cudgels for a real cause in
your column. I'm just one of
the thousands of trampled spec
tators who line the sidewalks at
New York's official receptions.
OF course, not being in politics
and not knowing anyone in city
hall, I can hardly expect a
grandstand seat. But I would
love a good look at celebrity
or big parade just once.
"As I look back through the
years, I know that I have really
tried hard without getting any
results. When Lindy was given
his great ovation, I saw only the
color of his hair. When Ruth
Elder was driven around in tri-
umph, I saw only the color of
her hat.
That's the way it went all
the time. With Post and
Gatty, I never got anywhere.
When Commander Byrd and his
pals returned from the big
flight, I almost made good. 1t
was rair. .'1g and the crowd was
not so large. But alas! Just as
their cars approached, the
police Shooed us all away. And
again I was beaten.
Last week I tried once more.
I attempted to get a good look
at the st. Patrick's day parade,
and I made an early start.
Before I knew what had hap
pened, there were hundreds of
people in front of me. 1t was
all just no use.
so now I turn to you, Mr..
Hellinger. There are going to
be other receptions. Can't you
suggest some advantageous spot
where a girl can be comfortable
while parade is going on?"
Certainly, madame. Do what
l do. Stay home in bed.

The grocer Immediately rush

him the letter. The officer was
duly sympathetic and went out
of his way to be cordial. He
granted the drafted man a two

him to GO to New York and sell
his business.
