JANE EYRE is POPULAR
HEROINE OF LITERATURE

If literary vote were taken to
determine the most popular hero
inc of fiction, which character in
that wide circumference, do you
suppose would win the nomination?
Would it be one of the sterling
heroines of George Eliot? A superb
woman from the pages of Charles
Dickens? A romantic lady of Sir
Walter SCOTS creation? or one of
the piquant damsels from the pen
of Jane Austin? Each of these ladies
has many virtues to commend her
and each commands, deservedly, a
host of devoted followers. Yet there
is another candidate for this great
honor-"Jane Eyre" OF all the
heroines of fiction is there one more
charming more loVable than Jane
Eyre? Is there any one of them
subjected to a more fiery ordeal
than Jane Eyre? And is there any
heroine, who, in the final analysis
presents a more touching example
of pure love and fidelity than Jane
Eyre? The answer to each of these
questions is, manifestly-no.
For those who wish to decide for
themselves. an excellent opportun-
ity will be given when the Senior
class play, Jane Eyre" is pre-
sented Watch for announcement
