In answer to ; the writer of "The Girl Men Like," please accept the viewpoint of a mala barely 21 who, until recently, was in the same predicament as the writer. , Man is less ideal than woman; and we must accept him as he is, even ' though the truth sometimes hurts. Ho chooses his lady friends because they are pleasing to the eye, enter taining: and amusing. Brains and intelligence are neither pleasing to the eye nor always amusing.

"Why girls leave home," and go on the stage is a question which has occurred to many people. In the case of Miss Elizabeth Brice, who is appearing at the top of an - excep tional bill at the Orpheum this week, it is easily answered. "I have always loved to sing," she explained. "That is why I went on the stage and is one reason I do not care to go into the movies." When Miss Brice left her little home town in Findley, O., some' years ago and went to New York where she became an instant favor ite, the folks back home shook their heads and offered words of sym pathy to the bereft parents. Occa sionally some skeptic troni home would journey to New York and per haps call on bright-eyed Elizabeth and then go back a convert to her career. Gradually, as she returned home year after year for the summer, little pink notes of "please come" be gan fluttering into the home, and Elizabeth Brice was a celebrity in her own home town, which is to say she had "made good-' professionally outside for home folks are not usual ly "the first to recognize "the prophet", in their own country. In her act this week, in which Miss Brice is assisted by Gattison Jones and Al Hockey, there are five beau tiful settings for the musical mes sage which she brings in "Love Let ters." .

Craik Players in "The Mollusc " On Wednesday evening and Sat urday afternoon of this week the Craik players will present in the auditorium of Jacob's hall, 1716 Dodge street, Hubert. Henry Davies' successful comedy "The Mollusc." The theme of inertia of character is most delicately handled in this comedy of spoiled wives and indul gent husbands. The play has to do with Mrs. Baxter, who, like a mol lusc of the sea which clings to a rock, inert, between tides, luxuriates in active selfishness and passive liv ing, doing nothing and having every thing done for her. Into this house told comes Tom Kemp, brother of "the Mollusc." He strives to cure Mrs. Raixter of her molluscry and succeeds in doing so only after many humorous conflicts with his sister and after affording the audi ence numerous mirth-provoking lines and an abundance of sparkling com edy. Mr. Mark Levings .will be seen as Tom Kemp, with Miss Elizabeth Erazim in the title role, Mrs. Nora O'Shea as the governess and Mr. O. W. Craik as the indulgent husband. Calendar.

With his face as imperturbable as if he had not been a storm center for several minutes, Jones, the chauf feur, walked toward the car at his employer's grudging capitulation. He went through the same farce of at tempting to start it as his employer's son had done, then he began a sol emn and exhaustive survey of the engine. 1 was amused to see that his choleric employer kept his tongue between his teeth, although it was plain to be seen that vitriolic words were trembling upon it. "I'm' sorry to say, sir." Jones said at last in the carefully respectful tone which I guessed was particu larly maddening just then to the elderly man, "that this is going to take more time than I thought.".. "How long?" his owner growled. "Vprlians twentv minutes." he re turned. "I would suggest, sir, that you all walk up toward the Dig road.

Again I saw Ted's eyelids quiver in an almost imperceptible wink. .1 realized that he was fully aware df whatever ruse the cliadrTer was .em ploying to get them all out of' the way. But he turned and helped the three women out of the car, and dutifully started down the path in the wake of his strutting father. "Oh, Mr. Ted!" Jones called be fore he was out of earshot. "If you'll come back in about five minutes, I'll be greatly obliged, sir. I'm afraid I'll need a little help here by then." "But I Don't." Ted waved his hand assent ingly, and tor a few seconds after the group of people had disappeared around the bend in the road, the chauffeur pretended to work assidu ously at the car. Then, fulfilling an intuition of mine, he crossed swiftly to where we were standing. "Beg pardon, madam," he said rc respectfully to Lillian, "but I think I ought to tell you that Mr. Barker will make trouble for you if he pos sibly can. He never forgets a little thing like this, and if he can find a motorcycle cop after he gets away from here, he'll go out of his way twenty miles to bring him back. I thought I'd tell you, and perhaps you'd like to try some other place. I guess you know that I can fix this at prices that make it folly for any housewife to attempt to do her own fruit canning Buy Canned Fruits by the Case Such a marvelous value opportunity is only possible through the gigantic buying power of these two great markets combined with extraordinary circumstances which resulted in price concessions of a most remarkable nature.- HERE'S OUR BIG SENSATION AL OFFER IN Del Monte Fruits Pears, half or sliced Peaches, Cherries, Pineapples, Plums, Apricots in No. 3 size cans, and Strawberries, Red Rasp berries and Loganberries in No. 2 size cans.

Mr. Ted's on, but he's a regular fellow, Mr. Ted is, uot a bit like his lather! I called him back so the rest wouldn't suspect anything. Is there any way I can help you if you wish to go away?" "But I don't wish tp go away," Lillian said blithely, flashing a mcr rv glance at me, and reassuring Marion, who had crept frightened to her side, with a clasp of her arm. "Motorcycle cops are most interest ing persons, and I don't know of any thing I'd rather do in the next few minutes than interview one, especial ly if your employer happens to, be present. But I thank you most heartily for your courtesy." A Bit of Advice. The man studied her frankly for a second, then I saw a sudden gleam of amused comprehension come into his eyes, but he made no comment. He touched his cap respectfully and went back to his tinkering just be fore the son of his employer came rather hurriedly down the path. He was a tall, well-built youth, with more than his share of good looks, and the flush of embarrassment upon his checks made him a dis tinctly attractive picture as he came toward us taking off his hat with the exaggerated deference of the best type of college youth. "May I apologize for my people?" he asked with a winning manner. "It isn't a particularly pleasant thing for a fellow to have to do, but it certainly is necessary in this case.

Lillian looked at him, a far differ ent gaze than her eyes had held during our encounter with the lad's father. I knew that the same query was in her mind as in mine. . How on earth had a clean-cut, gentleman ly lad like this" a regular fellow" the chauffeur had called him sprung from the family to which he be longed? At the end of her scrutiny, Lillian smiled and held out her hand. The young chap seized it eagerly. "Don't give it another thought," Ljllian urged him sincerely. "We ful ly realize that no matter what hap pens you are not too blame. And don't "judge your father too harshly. He is simply a spoiled grown-up, who has had' his way so long that he thinks it simply incredible that anyone should cross him. Unfortu nately for himself and everybody else he cannot be put in a corner, or spanked and sent to bed without his supper. If there could be found a-crown-uo substitute for those things it might be most salutary for him."j (Continued Tomorrow.) i CANNED FRUITS Fruit Crop of Present Season Is Badly Damaged The late frosts hare played havoc with the fruit crop of the middle west Authorities advise that every fruit will be extremely scarce, which means high prices.
