A man with white hair and a comforting smile? Or have I dreamed his face" I have had so many fancies this might easily be one of them." "No, it Is not a fancy." was the quiet reply "Nor is it the face of a doctor. It is that of a friend. One whose heart is bound up in your recovery ; one for whom you must live. Mr. Brotherson." "I don't know him. Doris. It's a strange face to me And yet. it's not al together strange. Who is this man and why should be care for me so deeply?” "Because you share one love and one grief. It is Edith's father whom you see at your bedside. He lias helped to nurse you ever since you came down this second time." "Edith's father! Doris, it can not be! Edith's father!” "Yes. Mr Challoner has been in Derby for the last two weeks He has only one interest now: to see you well again." "Why?” Doris caught the note of pain, if not. suspicion, in this query, and smiled as she asked in turn: “Shall he answer that question him self'.' lie is waiting to come in. Not to talk. You need not fear his talking. He’s as quiet as any man 1 ever saw.” The sick man closed his eyes, and Dor is, watching, saw the flush rise to his emaciated cheek, then slowly fade away again to a pallor that frightened her. Had she injured where she would heal? Had the pressed too suddenly and too hard on the ever-gaping wound in her invalid's breast? She gasped in terror at the thought, then she faintly smiled, for his eyes had opened again and showed a calm determination as he said "I should like to see him I should like him to answer the question 1 have just put you 1 should rest easier and get I well faster or not get well at all."

Miss I Frances Starr has her winter nest. Her sittina room looks, less like a , I hotel loom than any you've ever seen, • for it's small and of irregulat build, ; and it’s done in a subdued kind of yel low odor and when you come into it the first thine that strikes vou is the wonderful tiew of the. nark, and then you become aware of an excellent grand piano in the foreground. There ate flowers and books, too. but mark yon. srentle leader not a single I photograph of the actress herself, and that's quite characteristic of Miss Starr. It's only with considerable ef fort that you can get her to talk about herself. Ami she just will not talk about "My art!” What does she look like off tlie stage'.’ What is tlie Rose of the Rancho like, and the girl who took the Easiest Way, and Becky , witose case is so puzzling to the audience at the Belasco theater, who can be so sweet and demure and ex quisite, and suddenly change right be fore your eyes into a devilish little <*at. with hardly a point of resemblance to tlie first character? If Miss Starr wanted to she tould slip down into some of our social set tlements. among the pretty young col lege girls, who ate endeavoring so va liantly to work for the betterment of those less fortunate, and no one would . ever suspect that she. had been on the stage even for a minute. The better the actress the less ac- i tressy she looks, and Frances Starr has j earned her right to a foremost posi- l I tion among the young stars of the i stage. "Tlie Rose of the Rancho" has grown more thoughtful in looks, more intellec tual. than when she took New York by surprise in the part of the Spanish girl five years ago She looks very young, yery slight, and almost frail, though she is really a strong, athletic type of girl. Her hair is a wavv brown, with much ligitt in it; her eyes are blue like the paler sapphire, and she has a deep and very fascinating cleft In her chin, and she is simple, natural and totally I lacking in self-consciousness. These particulars ate put in at the) request of so many readers, who seem to spend a good deal of their energies in figuring out whether their favorite actress looks the same off the stage as she does on. | Os course. I had to ask Miss Start 1 , "'bat rules of health she observes. It's i quite useless to ask a pretty girl why l she is pretty. One should never ask ■ j that question of a woman under thirty, I any how. “When I am working,” said Miss CASTO RIA For Iniante and Children.

"1 am keeping company with a young man of my age. which is seventeen. He calls on me every night. b”t he does not show any love to me. What can Ido to I make him show his love?” "1 am sixteen, and in love with a girl one year my junior. I think she doesn't pay me the attention she ought to. I love her. but she has never toid me she loves me. 1 would like to know a plan i by which I could find out if she recipro cates my love for her.” "Is it any harm for a boy and girl of ! sixteen to keep steady company ? Some I people say that at the age of sixteen I children should never think of the op i posite sex." Boy and girl love, called calf-love by j those who have survived its attacks without lasting sears, may develop into i something fine, but every chance in the j world is against it. In Love With Love. in the first place, children of that age. don't know their own minds. They are love with the boy or girl who at that moment-- pleases them best. In six weeks, still in love with love, this mushroom offspring of a lomantic brain i< attached to some other person. In deed, given opportunity and environ men ~ the object of one's undying love when one is sixteen changes as rapidly as the scene in a moving picture. This love is serious while it lasts, it takes time, is a waste of emotion and is fostered and encouraged when one's judgment is hasty and immature. Therein the danger lies. Youth always swings too far. botli ways. One is uncontrollably happy, of dangerously depress Al Love, never an offspring of reason, behaves as if of in sane parentage wh?n those under' its sway are under sixteen Time that should be spent in making a valuable storehouse of the brain is devoted to making that valuable part of the anatomy a lumber room filled with useless odds and ends of romance. When one is sixteen, the biain is strong and active and impressionable, and lessons are easiest to master and easiest to retain. It is a harvest time, and it is more than a misfortune--it is a tragedy—ls girls and boys at this pe riod of their lives moon around like half-sick calves and think, sing and prate of love that will not live longer than tomorrow. Here s the Answer. To the writers of these three letters I suggest a careful perusal of E. .1, Hardy, who says: "Preeoeiousness in love-making is a great mistake. It prevents the 0,,i rnent of youthful years whTb u be free from anxiety, and h-ads taglements and hasty atta v! „X which cause much distre®® ® , ' We do not advise girls to put off m ..’ rimony -until they are 380 y ca which was.

Read this quotation again: "It prevents the enjoyment of corth ful years, which should be free T „ anxiety, and leads to entanglement" and hasty attachments which much distress.” The writers of th-se letters, one- two and three, will find no argument fm 0 .- Ing calf love that can offset this are ,. inent against it. So I urge the writer of the fl r , t „ lt to make no attempts to get a box of sixteen to show his love, but refra from showing her own. anti try to „v e ." come it. I want the boy who wrote the ®e, ~r > letter to put as much wm-rv into lessons a’ school as he Is putting into a precocious love, and I want the „-H f . r of the third letter to take the quotation from Hardy for an answer. Plenty of Time. Don t regard this opportunity tn and be loved as the last! And don't, if sixteen or twenty-six or older, look upon the present as all thers is of the future. Love will come when you are ready for it. And Late Love’s even sweete Than First Love's tender dream " WHY? He—That young widow seem® to ad mire Mr. Smith very much She—Yes: he is a man after her own heart.
