SHE SECURED A POSITION,
May Twins Employment Bureau-A
New York Restaurant Window.

One day last simmer Miss May Irwin
While in New York for a short time, met
a young woman, an actress, on the
street, whom she knew quite well, and
who proceeded to pour out a tale of
woe in Miss TWINS willing ear. She
told the coincidence that she had been
unable to secure an engagement, that
her funds were running low and that
she was in despair generally.
Miss Irwin was touched by the story.
Opening her purse she took out bill
of large denomination and said MY
dear girl, you do not go at it right
You know that in the theatrical bust
ness much depends on appearances.
Now, take this money, and instead Of
going to a cheap restaurant in one of
the avenues, as you have been dong,
go to one of the SWEETEST Broadway
restaurants and take your luncheon
every day at about 3 o'clock in Tire
afternoon. Be sure to take a seat IN
der a window, look your prettiest and
put on all the style you can. You have
a good appearance, are talented, and
there is no reason why you should not
succeed in securing a good position
with some reputable organization"
Miss Irwin then proceeded on her
way, and in the pleasures of her sum-
mer vacation forgot all about the Oc-
currence. Later in the summer it be-
came necessary for her to engage an
actress to fill one of the parts in THE

purpose, she wrote her business m'Sn-
