In all the great audience Py} which Hatened to the eulogies of his work, probably not one knew of his greatest gift to the young men and women graduated from the university he loved so well When Mr. Harper know that he was stricken with cancer, he fought long and strenuously, working until the very last mo- ment, But after the operation, when he knew the verdict was a lingering, torturous |death, he went to his friend, Judge Kohl saat, and sald; “Judge, I am going to com | mit suicide. Don't try to dissuade me, be- (cause you know my condition. “IT have done all I can for the univer- | sity and for the yourig people who have at- tended it. All my life I have lived for oth: and now I think I owe it to myself to save anyself this physical pain and the anguish of my friends, Who must see me endure the suffering which will be mine be fore the end comes.” Judge Koblsaat said: “I think in your ease I would do the some thing, and I am sure that personally you have the right to dispose of yourself as you please. How many young men and women have been graduated from the University of Chicago since you have been connected with it?” President Harper, looking somewhat surprised at the abrupt change of subject, answered; “I don't know; a number of thousand at least.” “Well,” slowly remarked Judge Kohlsaat, “among those thousands there are probably hundreds who will face crises in their lives as you are doing now. Every one of them who has looked up to you will say; | ‘It's right for me to do this.

Or do they just outline their plays and write the character parts? Can you secure a book at the library on how to write a play without first writing the book, or any other Mterature about writing plays? M.D. A.—The best Instruction you cfn get is from good plays. Select a really fine play and study it as you would a text book. In writing a play it fs a great help to draw an outline of the stace and have It before you while writ- ing.

JUBTIC RRR * * * * * * ee ee Dear Miss Grey--About a year ago ® young girl came to this place from the old country, afd from that time my trouble started. She ex changed letters with another fel low before she came here; she had previously known him at home. She came here to marry him but found he was a drunkard and gave him I never have believed in love but that is what hap- pened to me. I have loved her ever since I first met her, She is 23. Her parents are dead, her father dying when she wos 9 and her mother when she w 16, 1 was working in @ shingle mill making good money when we mot. This spring | took sick with cedar asthma, and the doctor says it will ke year or two before I get well, and perhaps it will never leave me entirely, I have told the sirl about it and asked her to seek company with another fellow, but she says she will wait 20 years for me if necessary, and never leave me as long as | am on this side of the grave. Do you think it be to keep ber waiting, and am worthy of such a girl's love? i don't want to marry her before I get over my sickness, because when I do marry her | will try to make ber the happiest woman on earth. I love her with a pure love and will do the right thing for her. A FOREIGNER, A—That girl is a jewel, and I wouldn't be so ready to give her up. To wait a couple of years will not burt either of you, and by that time you will be well, In the mean- time you can both be preparing for your home and future happiness. I know how you feel, and though |you may think, because you love the girl, you should give her up, it} is not fair to her. She has a heart as well as you, and as jong as) everything for future happiness is to be expected, though you will) have to wait awhile, you have no right to make a decision that will cause her unhappiness. TRUE LOVE. at first sight, eR Re *) * FOURTEEN AND LOVE. «| *| ee ee ee ee ee Dear Miss Grey—I have been going with a young man for over a year and one night last week he got angry at me because I refused to let him kiss me, and we have not jspoken since. I love him very mach and know he loves me. Please tell me some way in which to make up. Do you think a girl of 14 could know what love is? Does it spotl the complexion to powder and paint? Do you consider it proper for @ girl of 12 to sing on (se stage? How old should a girl be before she wears corsets? Dear Miss Grey, please answer these questions as soon as pos-| sible. BABE AND KIDDO, | A.—Children of your age do not/ know the meaning of love, and mis- take emotion for it. Be friends it} you can do so without lowering your standard, but do not allow any | j boy to kiss or caress you. It does spoil the complexion paint and powder. To make a success on the stage/ & good foundation is necessary, so devote yourself to your studies, If a corset with a large waist and bust is selected, a girl may wear one at 14 years. The waists are better until that age. to RK KKK hhh * * * WHY A DIET OF “MUSH”? «| * * REE KEKEKKKKK | Dear Miss Grey: I know a young man, and every time he walks with me he hangs on to my arm, and won't let go a second, I hate to walk with him or any other man who thinks I can't stand vp alone. How can I make him stop? I don’t like to hurt his feelings. I like a man who just assists you off and on‘cars, I know he is a nice man, but I would like him better if he would let me alone. 1 don't like mush very well, INSGUSTED. A.—Evidently you prefer to hart your own self-respect rather than his tender feelings. If you don't like “mush,” why stand for a steady diet of it? If you allow a young man to treat you with disrespect, you are pulling down his character as well as your own, Now is the time to stop, Ogres Two a MISS BILLIE BURKE By Billie Burke.
