That explanation .is meant for & certain class among my readers, ‘the people who write me anonymous let- ters, expecting an auswer in the col- umn, and do not receive it. These letters are of various typs. One is the letter which asks me to write on some .subject dear to the reader’s heart but not of general in- terest. For lnnuu:e, one woman wants me to give advice in regard to how tenants and ,landlords should treat each other's children, ‘“whether’ you think it best to mix with them if you have fione of your own. I will look for your answer in my paper.” But That Wouldn't Interest Ono-Half of One Per Cent. Now suppose that among the rest of my readers five per cent. live near their landlords, and one in ten of these has had trouble on the chil- dren question. That means that such an article would find a response In the lives of one-half of one per cent. of my readers. Surely I ought to do better than that. Again, I am asked to give advice in situations where advice is useless. For instance, what to co to put things right between a girl friend who is generally regarded as engagd to a NOW FREE FRUM PAIN young man who has recently started going about with another young lady. ‘The girl knows about her rival “If you knew how I feel,” urges the let- ter friend, “you would do what I ask out of speer sympathy.” @he Man Must Know He Is Being a Cad. Bless your heart, so I would, but it doesn’t seem to me to be a situation where advice would do the slightest good. Again there is the letter friend who asks me to write on some bject 1 have already written on, or that has been done to death by other people. ‘Will I write on what would happen it everyone told the truth, or will'I have the article on “Calm,” repeat- ear” Of Course I Should Love to But— Gladly, but alas, there are the nine hundred and ninety-five to consider as well as the five who might be in- terested. And lastly there are the people who write me wonderful little notes of appreciation and then wonder “if you will ever receive this and how I shall know.” You won’t know individually, but collectively please know that I thank you from the bottom of my heart and that I hope someone else will be as good to you have been to me. WW 'WIRELESS ABOARD APPAM. Norfolk, Va., March 14.—Discovery of a secret wireless outfit on the prize steamer Appam here has 'been fol- lowed by evidence that Lieutenant Berg, the German prize commander, ag late as Dec. 8 had sént radio mes- sages to a_German ship.'

ATTENDANCE MARK AT LYCEUM BROKEN It promises to be a record break- ing week at the Lyceum theater with “A Gentleman of Lelsure” holding the stage, every performance so far this week having more people in at- tendance than any corresponding porA formance this season.

Miss Virginla Perry as the ‘only daughter” is deed winsome, and Philip Quin’s po! trayal of Police Commissioner Cm don is masterly.

The prolonged tri- umph of “‘Miss Springtime’” in New York. and Boston is a matter of rec- ord. The score by the Hungarian composer, Emmerich Kalman, whose “Sari” was'a delight, is full of haunt- ing - melodies already hummed, whistled and danced to all over Amer- ica, and is interpreted by a full or- crestration of forty musiclans. Guy Bolton contributed the book and P. G. Wodehouse the lyrics. The stage direction is that of .the experienced Julan Mitchell and Herbert Gresham. The scenery is by Urban, a creative painter of daring originality and poetic imagination, whose fame is in- ternational. ‘The first two acts of “Miss Spring- time” are laid in a Hungarian vil- lage during the gaities of old-home week, which a resourcefyl newspaper man has undertaken to boom through up-to-date American methods. The third act reveals the stage of an opera house in Budapest and is & mas- sive and magmificent fllustration of the Viennese painter's creative art. The story of blended sentiment, youthful romance and crisp, compel- ling humor, hag to do with & charm.
