THE QEOaQIAM’S MAGAZINE, PAGE 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.
