There is evidence that Clement Scott,
who recently resumed his work as crit
lie on the London Daily Telegraph, does
not read his title clear to a new posi-
ton OF influence in matters theatrical,
says the Mirror. 1t was intended that
he should write an address to be de-
livered to Nellie Farren on the occa-
sion of her benefit at Drury Lane thea
ter; but six of London's foremost actor
managers who had contributed to the
success of that benefit threatened in
that event to withdraw, and another
was put forward In Scott's place. 1t is
doubtful IL those most influential in the
theater will ever forget or forgive
SCOTS offense in villifying a profession
to which he owes all that he ever en-
toyed of prominence, and to which he
in fact was indebted for vocation.

Now that the good times are march

ful and the country glad, it might be
well for all 10 remember that the best
way 10 profit by the depression is 20
save something ont of the new pros
perity for any other possible season of
Idleness and distress. With the vast
abundance that this country has
known, the habit of economy has
come slowly. Many have seen tho
wisdom Of it. and they are our rich
people and the owners of our lands
and industries and banks and various
profitable properties. But the great
majority OF the people have lived up
to their incomes, aud wAen the wages
stopped or the salary ceased, grim
want stalked in. And SO good men
and well-bred women had to go to
charity to keep from starvation; had
to sacrifice their pride and accept of
the public bounty, because in the
days of prosperity they had forgotten
the future.
Saving comes easily when 1t is once
begun. Do not spend more than you
earn. When Peter Cooper earned 81

other successful men will testify how
hard The struggle was TO save the first
money and how easy it was after the
