Mrs. Root was matron at the institution lon oefore Dr. Smith was appointed superintend ent, and, so far as Is known, no word of complaint hae been heard against her.

The fight of the 14-year-old heiress to keeD from being sent to her guar dian in Cincinnati has attracted un welcome suitors, love letters and the atrical and movie men.

For a girl of 14 this was all very romantic and exciting, but it began to get monotonous and bothersome.
