Dear Miss Grey: I am a young girl and have been keeping company with a young man for quite awhile. He is very handsome, a good dancer and nothing is too good for me. At one time I was very fond of him, and he has given up @rink on my account. | When we first started to go together he left me for some- one else, and altho I think that he cared for me then, I can never forget it. He does not live in the same town as I do, and we have ‘broken up several times, and each time he goes back to drink- ‘ again. I am afraid that if I say “good-bye” to him now) he will go back to drinking and will soon be ruined, | There is another young man who does not drink, and for whom I care and who says that he cares a great deal for me. He was the first boy that ever appealed to me, when we were only youngsters. Now that we have grown up we have been | ponding for quite awhile. Tell me, Miss Grey, should I | keep on going with this first man and let him believe that I love him, or tell him t there is another, and perhaps break his heart, and let : back to the old life? aad ONE WHO My dear girl, you have neglected to give me your age, dut I can see from letter that you are quite young, | that you have not given much to the matter of your future Pou should decide to marry the) who “drinks.” Would you not be doing just as harm if you gave wp the sec- man of whom you wrote, and cares for you?

In what year was Mohammed born? If reliance can be placed upon the statements that Mohammed was about 63 years old when he died, the traditional date of his Ddirth, 570 A D., would be approximately correct But tradition aiso connects hia birth with “the year of the elephant.” The march upon Mecca by Abraha, the Abyssinian ruler of Yemen, at the instance of Justinian, who was at war with Khosrau I, must have oc- curred before 568, It ts therefore doubtful when the prophet was born. | His birthplace wes undoubtedly Mec- ca.

He is the discoverer and exponent of “nut” comedy, and he is the first to burlesque a vaude- ville xlyophone player. “I'd seen many @ performer who was funnier off stage, acting natural, than he was when he was doing his act,” Fitzgibbon says. “I never thought I was funny at any time. But I thought of going on the stage and imitating some of theserchaps who were funny when they weren't trying. “It was only a theory, but ft caught on right away. The result was that they dubbed me ‘the origi nal daffy dill,’ for I tried out the idea back in the days when eve thing silly was known by that hot house term.” Fitzgibbon sought ® musical tn piano. While in this frame of mind, he attended a vaudeville perform ance and heard a xlyophone act. In. stantly he recollected that his brother, Lew, was an expert xlyo- phonist, This was the solution of his problem. He, Bert, would burlesque the xlyophone and later Lew would have the difficult task of conscienti- ously playing the instrument before the name audience, A specially constructed xlyophone was obtained for the purpose. It is extremely small, but has a tone as powerful and penetrating as a piano. Low Fitzgibbon plays it by standing at the end of the instrument rather than along the side, as is the custom of other xlyophonists, THE SEATTLE STAR ‘The Bon Marchés + st Gy og? Come on Boys!
