beauty is an attribute of the gods. and
no doubt the gods will not neglect to
favor it. but 1T is often an embarrass-
ment to the sincere student.
If you are beautiful, you have. OF
course, discovered the sway and super
fetal power there are In beauty. You
must learn to use that power discreetly.
Wisdom is perhaps one of the last
senses to go into active service for you.
but you can obtain, borrow, adopt q
good denl.of 1t from older heads. There
is tormenting species OF invisible imp
in most natures that are young and as
yet unprepared for internal wars that
you must guard against. Some call him
vanity, others .consolingly refer to him
as the unrecognized ability. There Is
nothing SO common and yet so danger
GUS to the student as this insidious
young imp. who makes fools of SO
many.
There is always a higher pinnacle
for you to reach in your art, and there
is no time to waste with small vanities
at any point of the journey. Beauty,
because of the superficial homage 1t
commands. VIII frequently assume
pose of assurance that 1t cannot sus-
tain in dramatic art. Assurance for
the dramatic student is. of course. nee
essary in a measure, but not further
than within the limits of average SCI
confidence. So II you have much beau
ty and only little talent you must work
for that Of which you have least and
guard with conservative attention that
which you have. The human idols of
the stage are men and women with
brains sufficiently alert to adapt thei.
physical projections or imperfections to
artistic purpose.

conceit, also the difficulties that are set
about the dramatic student whose ap-
pearances are promising to overzealous
friends, let me urge one or two reme-
dies for the overconf1dent and overrated
student.
"Modesty is a rare flavor in the daily
fare of the dramatic profession, and
therefore it is a soupcon worth seeking.
An occasional doubt about ones own
ability is not so destructive or annihi-
lating as it would seem to many who
have it not. There is much wisdom in
modest doubt.
DO not by any means confuse this
advice with that shrinking quality of
some stage aspirants that never allows
the voice to reach over the footlights.
Between stage fright and stage doubt
there is q vast difference. Many ia
nous actors have had stage fright in
their earlier careers, and all of them
have measured their road to success
with a standard rule of doubt. The self
satisfied young person in life is apt to
be limited in his or her achievements.
No project is ever launched securely
without provision against failure, and
the safe pilot against failure is-doubt.
Therefore, no matter how much you are
praised, no matter how many admirers
| you have in your work. no matter how
i handsome or how beautiful you are,
always retain certain amount of
doubt about it all. 1t is just as well to
be modest in a profession that tempts
so much self conce.it. and you will
| thereby assist somewhat original de-
velopment.'

MEN AND DINNER INVITATIONS.

There is a certain girl who thinks
that when a man invites a friend of her
sex out to dinner he should declare
himself'-that is. he should give her to
understand whether or not she has
carte blanche to order all she wants to
eat and drink. irrespective Of the cost
A young man from out Of town in
vited the fair damsel. her sister and
their aunt to dine with him the other

with some misgfvings. THE young
man doesn't look especially opulent,'

never heard that he was rich, so all
three of US, with feminine precipitation

the reasonable things on the menu-the

Louise and Aunt EfY1e did the same
and poor Mr.. Blank nearly had apo
plexy in his rage at what he. called our

pay for that meal, he pulled a roll of
banknotes from his pocket as big as his
wrist. and since I have heard that he
is millionaire. and to him dinner to

Some people who have very delicate
skins cannot use soap with comfort.
They should use bran. Napoleon never
used soap. but kept his hands beauti-

kings of Holland forbade his sons the

FOR INDIGESTION.

A cure for indigestion is to procure
SIENNA leaves from the chemist. Pour
over them one quart of boiling water;
then boil them for quarter of an hour.
Let them stand in a jug twenty-four
hours, then strain. Add half a tea
spoonful of ginger. Take half a wine
glassful fasting every morning. If very
bad, take after every meal.
