''The time is rapidly drawing near, sad a New York theatrical manager the other day. when only college bred men and women will be found on the stage I refer, of course, to the 1egi-i- mate There are plays lying idle to- Gay because we lack broad minded, Intelligent men and women who can understanding read the lines. This 1 is largely due. in my orinion, to the early age at which theatrical aspirants have heretofore entered the profession. We don't look with as much favor on child actors and actresses as we did a few years ago. Success in childhood does not insure future greatness by any means. All children are natural in their actions. and more or less graceful. But when they pass this stage of life, and are called upon to ex- press stronger emotions and varied experiences, they are almost invari- ably found wanting Perhaps where the child is brought up in a family of professionals. and is constantly in a theatrical environment, she will pro- gress to success and greatness; but such instances are very rare. When ambitious parents bring children to me to give them a start, I invariably recommend a good school education first, and, if possible. college course.

There are plenty cf managers who will gladly make a con- tract with such a girl, regardless of her future. But lthis is regarded with disfavor.

When John B., Jr., was about 12 years of age he developed a fondness for the famous pIanl.- utilized by Ral- eigh. Mrs. Henderson did not say to him, You must not She did not be- Eeve in coercion; neither did she think her commands would receive obedience Instead, shei led her son through appeals to his intellect, along the paths she wished him to tread Together they studied the effects of to- bacco on the system, from the deadly cigarette to the expensive cigar. The boy tbecame interested and, finally, a convert to her wishes. giving up the use of tobacco entirely. Then the study Of alcoholic poisons was begun, and so thoroughly digested that Mrs. Henderson commenced writing a book on the subject, in which she related her experiences and applied her knowledge Mrs. Henderson IS one Of the leaders of Washington SOC ety.

 Death is a name. Death is the portal
 Unto 3 higher way. Life is eternal. Man $ immortal,
 Rising victorious,
 Radiant, glorious,
 Out of the clay;
 Out of the bounds of time,
 Into the realms sublime,
 Into golden cline,
 Into the day.
