The Mushroom
Hero
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
4 ( WEET” writes me the following
letter:
“I love a man to whom I have
never been introduced, and I want him
to love me. I am 20 years of age, and
he is 28. I have written for his photo,
■which he has sent, and, being an actor,
thought it was wanted to settle a dis
pute which I stated in my letter to him.
He has various admirers, but I love
him, and SOMETHING MUST BE
DONE!”
My dear girl, something will be done
and it will be overwhelming and crush
ing when it is done, if you permit your
selves to indulge in a mushroom love
like this.
The "something" that will be done is
w hat happens when a road crusher rolls
over an obstacle in its path. You are
deliberately throwing yourself In the
path of a road crusher that will crush
out all your life, your hope, your faith,
your future, when you indulge in love
for a man whom you do not know, and
one whose calling depends in a measure
for popular success in making matinee
worshipers of girls as silly as you.
I do not use that word "silly” to
give offense, but because it is a true
description of you. and one you should
recognize, and change, before it is too
late.
You are silly to give this man a sec
ond thought and silly to a dangerous
degree in writing to him and asking
him for his photograph.
Undoubtedly the lines he speaks on
the stage are heroic, and you, poor
child, imagine that his life off the stage
is a counterpart.
Paid For Being Hero.
You have confused the hero who gets
paid so much a week for being a hero
with the man who is a hero when there
is no one to see, and none to applaud.
You gaze on that noble make-up
countenance with reverence, little
knowing that the face he wears be
fore an audience is usually the op
posite of that he wears to those who
know him best.
You have emptied out your poor lit
tle heart at his feet, and If acquaint
ance with him resulted in it getting
bruised he would care no more than if
ft were a football.
He must not be too greatly con
demned for this. It is the class of wom
en to which I beg that you will not
belong that makes him what he is.
Notes of admiration and adulation,
appeals for his photographs, homage
from women who are encouraged to
appear because their appearance swells
the box office receipts, all serve to turn
a head that was never well fastened
on in the first place.
And the hero on the stage becomes
the villain in real life, and it is the
women who are to blame.
"Something must be done.” you say.
My dear girl, let this be the "some
thing'’ and see to it that it is done, and
done promptly.
Put thoughts of this man out of your
mind. Tear up his photograph, and if
you realize that you are not strong
enougli to see him act and keep your
head, don’t go near him again.
There are men in your own circle of
friends worth azmillion of men like
him—men who are friends of your
brother, men of whom your father ap
proves. If you must love some one,
pour out your affections on an object
worthy of them.
Don’t Value Love Cheaply.
Don’t value your love so cheaply that
you are ready to lay it at the feet of a
man who would laugh at it. You don’t
want to make a jest of the most sacred
of all emotions; yet I do not doubt that
this man has laughed at you many
times.
Without doubt he has boasted of his
many conquests, and taken as much
pride in showing notes from women to
his manager as a clerk in a store would
take in showing records of a big day’s
sales.
They make him popular; they are his
stock In trade. They enhance his value
to the management because they mean
increased attendance, and if anything
he does increases the attendance there
is increased salary for him.
So far as sentiment is concerned, he
doesn’t care anything more for the "va
rious admirers" you speak of than for
so many pegs in the wall.
Don’t cheapen yourself by becoming
one of them. Remember that every
one puts her own price tag on herself,
and that it is your fault, and your fault
alone, if yours is low.
Just remember all the time, my dear,
and keep the thought close to you, that
some day the right man will come
along.
And when he comes it will not add
to his respect for you. or to your hap
piness. to learn that you have gone
hanging around stage doors with your
heart on your sleeve.
HowTo Be Certain of
Curing Constipation
Prejudice is a hard thing to over
come,, but where health is at stake and
the opinion of thousands of reliable peo
ple differs from yours, prejudice then
becomes your menace and you ought to
lay it aside This Is skid in the Inter

constipation, and it is worthy of their
attention
In the opinion of legions of reliable
American people, the most stubborn
constipation Imaginable can be cured
by a brief use of Dr. Caldwell's Hyrup

before, but do not doubt its merits on

So Troublesome
The Muddleborough Mail contained
at least one really exciting piece of
news last week.
‘Why,” exclaimed Brown, a# he pe
rused the “M. M m ” “here’s a paragraph
about an accident at the Smith's, my
dear! It seems that new maid of
theirs threw some gunpowder on the
fire by mistake, and was blown through
the roof. Poor girl!”
Mrs. Brown looked up dreamily from
her book.
“Poor Mrs. Smith, you mean, sir,"
she said. "That’s the fourth maid this
year who has left her without giving
notice!”

Reducing the Cost of Living
In these days of soaring food prices It
behooves the careful housekeeper to pick
those foods that give the most nourish
ment In proportion to their costs. With
the prices of meats beyond the reach of a
table allowance that once proved suffi
cient, one must choose something that
provides meat nourishment without meat
cost.
That food is found In Faust Spaghetti.
Faust Spaghetti is made from rich, glu
tinous Durum wheat. It provides as much
nourishment as many times Its value in
meat or eggs A 5c package of Faust
Spaghetti will provide a generous helping
to five persons. You can not find a cheap
er food, nor a better food—nor a food
that Is so universally enjoyed. Many
thrifty housewives who serve spaghetti In
some form very often, make It the chief
dish for dinner once a week—and they
say that it does not only prove economi
cal but also receives the hearty approval
of their families Write for our free book

THE WAY IS NOT NEW.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am twenty-two, and have been go
ing with a young lady for some months, 9
I am deeply in love with her, but have
In some way offended her. How can
I gain her love? B. R.
There are no new ways to win a
woman’s love. Be kind, courteous, al- I
ways sympathetic, quick to under
stand, and quick to act. Show her all
the little attentions a girl likes, and ’
prove to her that you are a manly . £
man, and that the love you offer her
is worthy of acceptance. _
WHICH DO YOU LOVE THE MOR*’
Dear Miss Fairfax: ‘ '|9
I am in love with a gfrf two year*

should lose her. E. A. C. H. J
Which do you love the more— the girl fl
or your own way? You are not en-i JB

over her actions.
