The time will come when that poor
old hotel trunk (so-called to disting-
uish it from the trunk that goes to the
theatre, when you are travelling or en-
route) with its dents and scars, will be
the only friendly object to greet you
in your desolate boarding house, with
its one wizened, unwilling gas burner,
and its outlook upon backyards and
cats, or roofs and sparrows, it's sullen,
hard-featured bed, its despairing car
pet; for, you see, you will not have
the money that might take you to the
front of the house and four burners.
Rain or shine, you will have to make
your lonely, often frightened, way to

you will have to stand about, wearily
waiting hours while others rehearse
over and over again their more i'm
portant scenes; yet you may not leave

fast in them many and many time,
you will dine in them regularly, that
you may rise. at once and go to the
theatre or car. You will see no one,
go nowhere.
If you are in earnest, you will simp-
ly endure the first year-endure and
study-and all for what? That, after
dressing in the corner fartherest from
the locking glass, in dismal room

loss of home love, home comfort, home
