The girl goes after them. She lifts up
her veil carefully and grabs at the hairs
much as she would dive into a bird cage
after a canary. OF course shs never

her veil becomes deranged and de-
tached, and the result is The girl grows
discouraged and tries the attack from
the other side. II che doesn't have to
remove her hat entirely, unite the veil
and "do" her hair all over she's in great
luck. Stray hairs that dsnyle over ones
nose are very aggrsvsting. They never
assert themselves until it is extremely
inconvenient to capture them. It's
much like playing blind mans buff with
nothing.
But when the task is finished and the
veil is all neatly and trinity arranged,
how happy that girl feels. It's worth
the trouble. especially il the veil is Of
the bewitchingly becoming variety.
Why? Because the friendly little bit Of

And it's increasing at terrific pace.
There's one indisputable charm about

a square chin and 8 sort of sturdi- ness of demeanor that commanded attention if not admiration. She had reached the shady side of life. She was not handsome, but she appeared to enjoy the most robust health. The manager bowed.
 'sWhat can I do for you, madam?" asked he.
 s'I am a miss, sir,' she replied, in a voice as deep and hollow as the tones of bass drum. 'I should like to play the part of fairy," she con- tinued.
 The manager nearly lost his breath, The woman weighed 25O if she weighed a pound. But the theatrical man was one of many expedients. Recovering his composure he said:

THESPIANS AT WORK.
Stage People Are Now Getting
 Ready for Fall Season.
Queer Characters, Male and Female, from Everywhere Contribute to Make Managerial Life
 Burden.
Especial New York Letter.

IF one strol1s along upper Broad
 way in the hot days of summer he
 will be particularly im pressed with the dreariness of that part of it which the Thespians are pleased to call ''The Rialto." The big theaters are boarded up as tight as the mansions of the mill ionaire clique over on Fifth avenue. It is the activity of the actors and act resses, who use Broadway between Thirtieth and Forty-second street as promenade in the afternoons when the heated season is over, and the dazzling glare of the many-colored electric lights which shine forth from the the aters by night, that has given it fame on two hemispheres as a highway, bizarre in the picturesqueness of it's pedestrians and inimitable in it's kaleidoscopic gayety and frivolity.
 The real stars of the profession de- sert the crowded city in the summer. They go beyond the sea. The lesser lights seek the nearby ocean resorts; and as for the mere jig dancers, the high kickers, the jugglers, the topical song singers and the S15-a-week ones, who needs must eat--why, they are holding down the boards in the vaude- vile shows at Manhattan Beach, Coney Island, Rockaway, Bergen Beach and kindred resorts where people gather in armies, ever in search of that ftful will-o-the-wisp, ycleped pleasure.
 But now the fall season approaches, and, although the facades of the the ater buildings are as grim as the walls of Moro castle, within there are evil dences of life. Great companies of chorus girls are hard at work with new songs and new steps. Comedians. are rehearsing comic parts. Trage- dians are driving imaginary daggers into the hearts of their enemies. Pretty soubrettes and gray-haired old

men are side by side on the dark stage, striving to become perfect in their parts. The young actor dreams of fame as he struts about for his one brief hour. The old man bowed with age now tolls for bread alone. The garish glimmer of the unrealities has gone from him forever. He sees only the canvas forest, the painted village and the cruel glow of the lime light.
 Still the ranks are ever filling. We must have new plays, new players to play them; new songs, new sing CTS; new dances and new dancers. It was only the other day that a manager returned from Europe with barrel full of comedies and dramas.
 Mime. Bernhardt and Miss Maude Adams will play Romeo and Juliet;" Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry will be here for a season of 20 weeks; Annie Russell will appear in 'The Royal Family" Charles Hawtrey and company of 30 members will play "A Message from Mars," which he has produced for two consecutive seasons in London; E. H. Sothern, Miss Bar l y score of others will appear during the winter.
 These are some of the successful ones. We never hear of the thou sands who have failed. As one drops out another takes his place. To keep the theater alive there must be actors and actresses to take the minor parts as we'll as stars to fill the important roles. And so it is that the managers of the theatrical companies are besieged just before the opening of the season with ap- pIicants from all classes of life. They come from the poor working girl behind the department store counter to the millionaire's daughter in diamonds who inagines she is destined to achieve histrionic fame. The farm boy at his blow sees play in the village, gets an inspira- tion, shucks his overalls and trudges to the city to seek fame and fortune behind the footlights. The country lass who has scored a Unit" at the home theatricals for the benefit of a missionary society believes the praises of her town friends will be voiced by the world. She, too, comes to the manager or the theatrical agency. But those who are repulsed are after all the fortunate ones.
 Not long ago a manager of one of the most popular theaters in New York was sitting at his desk ar ranging the programme of plays for the coming season when he was star tied by loud, determined rap at his door.
 "Come in,''s he cried, without cere- mony.
 With a stagy walk tall and obese woman approached him. She had

dressed up as colored man-which, by the way, was the start of negro min- strels-entered with big bag thrown across his shoulders. He dumped it down and on opening it out popped it- tie "Joe," blackened up as a darky. Joe" jumped to the center of the stage and sang:
 Dance Jim Crow,
 Dance Jim Crow,
 Turn about and wheel about,
 And do just so.''

 ''What can you do?'' asked the man. ager of the green country boy.
 ''I kin fiddle," said Lew.
 The members of the minstrel show were rehearsing and for their amuse- ment they told him to go ahead. He pulled an old fiddle from beneath his wood. When they had enough they told him to "trot along" There were tears in the boys eyes, but just as he reached the door the manager, who saw something in the lads face that took his fancy, called him back and employed him. But these cases are the exceptions. To those contemplating trying to become actors or actresses the advice of the old manager is timely. To all such he simply says: Don't"

this season." and then he added, as he thought of his rival across the street, 'but I am pleased to direct you to my friend just opposite who has been looking for many days for a beautiful woman to take the part of fairy. You, I am sure, will just fill the bil1.''
 With profuse thanks the ''fairy'' departed.
 The farmer boys who apply for stage jobs,' as they call them, usual ly have a desire to be soldiers. It is their idea of glory. If they can only be soldiers they will serve as pri- yates in Shenandoah" or fight un- der the banner with 'Brutus." It is not so hard to get ''job'' in this line. They call themselves actors. A cruel and thoughtless public dubs them "supes."
 Another applicant who was sure of her ability to win plaudits from an en- raptured audience appeared on the 'Rialto" the other day. She was by no means young and did not rely alto- gether on her beauty for success. She came from somewhere "way down east" and she believed that her pow CT as a tragedienne was matchless. She called upon an unprotected man. ager, and, despite his protests, was de- termined to show sample of her act- ing, to him. Her strongest part, she said, was Lady Macbeth.

 the circumstances he would besc< nit. She went through the entire play from start to finish, reading all the parts, and when she reached the strong dialogue of "Lady Macbeth" she frothed at the mouth and chew up the the scenery. When she was through the manager told her the theater only produced spectacular pieces and if she liked he would let her play the part of "Old Pantaloons' in "Humpty Dump ty." She swung out of the office highly indignant.
 But there has to be a first time for all actors. "Joe" Jefferson made his first appearance on the stage when he was a mite of boy. An old actor
