Stage Life.

How many of you straight-lacel
ladies, who so savagely condem the
actress without recommendation TO
mercy, would pass scatheless through
the ordeal to which she is subjected.
the temptations by which she is sur
rounded? To be homely in mind and
face, without beauty or wit to be
born and reared and coddled in all
the responsibilities and convention.
a%lities to be watched so carefully
that you could never find the oppor-
tunity of going astray, event you de-
sired tin short, to develop into an
immaculate matron, is not such a
marvellous matter to congratulate
yourself upon.
But to be born altogether out of the
orthodoxes, left to your own wild will :
to be poor, beautiful and brilliant; TO
see the handsOmest men in the land
signing at your feet, doing homage to
your talents as well as to your face,
and then to come out of the fire un-
scathed, as many an actress has done
and will do-then lady, you have
earned the right to look down upon
one who has not been blessed with
your power Of resistance.
