EDWARD STREETER (Mlustrated by Corpl. G. William Breck) Thia ts the first of a series of “Dere Mable” Letters which The i ening World will publish om this page. Thus Broadway's new singer of love, whose name is Florence Nash and ‘whose charming volume of lyrics, “June Dusk,” has been published almost coincidently with her starring in her play of mingled gaminerie and tender sentiment, “Remnant.” * “Don't,” a sapient and sophisticated New York ed!- tor warned Mise Nash, “don’t publish your poems until after you're married!” For the sake of Miss Nash's royalties, I hope that any one who {s thrilled by this criticism will go straight out and buy ber book.
