 For these reasons it becomes harder every day to get girls from the country; they prefer to go to business in the town near their home.
 How great is the lack of maids my books will show" continued the proprietor ''In January I had the names of 1000 mistresses and only 4,000 servants, male and female Even footmen are very hard to get just now-so many have gone to the war.
 "The greatest difficulties lie in obtain ing kitchen and scullery maids It is also very difficult to induce young women to go into families where there are not more than one or two servants.
 What is to be done? Well, I hardly know So far as I can see, people will have to raise their maids wages and employ them in sets, each working many hours and no more. Some such arrangements might induce young women to become maid servants instead of going into business. At the present rate there will soon be no maid servants"

 One of the great faults Of stage aspir- ants is that they overestimate their aplhty. A lot of them are not good enough for the stage although they consider themselVes too good - ,,1o

 Of course, this is not rule, but there are lot of young persons doing pretty things in drawing-rooms who believe .hein- selves to be really too good for the stage.

sERvANTFAMINE IN ENGLAND
Domestics Hard to Obtain Because the
 Girls Are Educated yi i9

There have been many famines but never such a famine of maid servants as at pres ent.
 What is the cause?" That is the ques- ton which tens of thousands of distressed matrons are asking. It is the question a Daily Mail representative put yesterday to the head of one of the best known West End registry offices
 "The reason" was the reply, 'is that the board schools are educating people out of their stations. Fifteen years ago I fore told that this would be the case. For in stance, take my office alone. I have nearly ninety women clerks, and nearly every one of them had a board school education Most of them come of the class who would make good maids but, of course, with the edu- cation they possess, they do not care to go out to service"

natural gift, but I am quite sure 1t will be only a temporary delay.
 Everything that is natural is appreciated, and the people who fail are those who affect that. which they do not possess.
 If you really have dramatic talent noth- ing will keep you off the stage; in fact, you will very quickly have to leave 1t If you are found wanting by the public-the true judges of aeting-though it may take you a long while to reach the top.
 Beginners on the stage have their in- dividuality to consider, and they should adapt their personalities to a special line or part.
 Personally I cannot conceive how lessons in acting can teach people how to act, any more than a pen and ink can teach a man how to write.
 In all trades young people are appren- ticed, and they learn their business from the bottom.
 The engineer begins in a machine shop, and the actor should begin in the theatre. All his or her faults are glaringly appar- ent on the stage, in the presence of an unprejudiced audience, while they are fre- quently hidden in the studio or class room.
 In saying this I do not by any means wish to critze the great amount or good that is done for young people by intelheeht teachers.
 We are not all born with natural grace or power of impersonation, and there are certain technical conditions on the stage which may be taught; but eventual sue cess depends entirely upon the gift that is natural and not assumed.
 The stage represents what we see or feel in real life; as we are never consis- tently tragic or consistently comic through entire lifetime, it is we'll to have httle of both Neither tragedy nor comedy can stand alone without the other.

BY MISS ELLEN TERRY.

In my opinion the art of acting is not to be taught; it is not a matter of les sons so much as it is a natural gift. Men and women are born greatly gifted, ac- cording to the particular will of heaven and heredity and no amount of teaching will make the great ones small or the small ones great.
 can never teach any one how to act, although I know the stage pretty well; therefore I am not going to talk to you with any purpose of importance. If there is one subject I avoid more than an- other it is this giving of advice to stage aspirants because 1t is so often requested by young people who have more hopes than prospects.
 However, this America is such a big country. and there being so many clever young people seeking stage honors, l feel
