Ofcourse, ii VIII be objected that already
too many men turn to the learned profess
sions, instead OF seeking mechanical or

Jcrms-a proper preliminary education.
The trustees Of Howard University are

Cardinal Wolsey placed his favorite tabby

CHORUS GIRLS ENJOY 1T.
There is no important actress in town who
Is pleased or impressed otherwise than I'M
favorably with the attentions of stage-door
hangers-on. But they still hang on, and
probably will continue to as long as some
men are fools and some women are silly.
The silly ones in this connection are the
chorus girls and extras They think the
attention of strangers is real fame, and they
encourage it and bring it about the heads
of the more sensible women of the stage.
The chorus girl is poorly paid and she works
hard. She makes the masher help her to
enjoy life if she can, and if she doesn't let
him spend his money she gets her fun by
ridiculing him. She hasn't much dignity to
maintain (Which does not mean that she
has not a great deal of virtue), and she
likes to guy. Once in awhile a little ro-
nance turns up. Such a case was told OF
in the Twentieth Century Girp' dressing
rooms, One girl had married a man she
clares that she is sorry that she ever saw
him., which Is not surprising.
This turned the conversation to the Ia
vorite gag given to Washers who try to
