themselves as actresses. They are always PRO
fessionals'' until they get way UP in the busi-
ness, and then they are artistes- And the right
to wear the title of professional comes high
This does not mean that the young woman who
aspres to the stage will be held up and robbed
along the path that leads to her first engage
ment- 1t means that the actual requirements to
enter the theatrical profession demand a con-
siderable financial outlay. 1t may not always
be $500; it may be much less, but the higher
figure may easily be reached.
In the first place. the difficulties that beset a
young who is ambitious to go on the
stage are becoming greater each season The
requirements for dramatic work constantly
advancing and the number of persons seeking
the stage for a career is growing enormously.
These two factors materially lessen the chances
for beginner.
But suppose a girl has set her mind on the
charm of the footlights and starts out to make
her way to them. For illustration will say
that she first decided to take course at a
dramatic school. The tuition at these institu-
tions reaches high $500 term, although
some of them charge much less; but there are
few which ask less than $3.50, and at least two
terms are advised by the instructors for the av
erage pupil If the girl who elects to take this
dramatic school course be a nonresident of this
city, she will have in addition to her tuition fee
the cost Of her transportation here and her
board and living expenses during her course of
studies and while she is looking for engage
ment.
At length. after the outlay in this direction,
the young woman may find opening with
some dramatic company. The chances are that
it will be in a modern play. and perhaps her
part may be that of a young society woman

some instances. if these dresses are particularly

ayers. But unhappily. only very small per-
centage Of beginners on the stage are lucky
enough to get with leading managers. 1t is far
more likely that a girl will be accepted by some
of the lesser managers, in which event she may
have to pay a part of the cost of her gowns.
and in many cases Will have to defray the
tire expense herself 1t may be that only
handsome dress will be required, and that the
others will be simple and less expensive on
the other hand. the young woman may have TO
provide herself with three elaborate costumes
In any event, she will have to buy her own boots
and slippers, and hosiery and gloves and
merOus other little incidentals of adornment. IL
may be that handsome hats are required. and
perhaps rich wrap two. And SO it is easily
apparent that large sum of money can be laid
out and in many cases must be expended. be-
fore girl really makes her stage debut.
If girl were so fortunate to get her first
part in a costume play the outlay would be less
By a costume play is meant in which the
dresses are of period other than the present
For such plays the managers furnish the main
articles of dress. But here again the boots and
hosiery and wigs must be provided by the play

girl would get first engagement in costume

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, July 1S.-The story of
Kocian and the violin which he ran
away with to Europe, afterwards hav-
ing to return to America with it to
avoid disagreeable consequences, re-
calls host of odd circumstances con-
nected with violins.
1t would seem that romance of some
kind is bound to hover around the fate
of Stradivarius.
The last of these instruments to fig
ure sensationally in the public eye was
the Bott violin.
The Strad has been given to Bott by
an English king and he cherished it all
his life on that account until the
tempting offer for it was made by Mic
olini. then the husband Of Patti Bott
was very poor and was willing to sell,
but would not take Nicolini's check
for the $1,000 offered. Shortly after
wards it was missing and by some
mysterious means the well-known vir-
tuoso, Victor Flechter. was accused of
being a party to its disappearanI Mr..
Flechter was imprisoned and su, Tered
the loss of business and reputation I'M
til 1t was traced to other parties, from
whom it was finally recovered long
after poor Bott had died, heart broken
from-its loss.
The famous virtuoso, Paganini. had
many interesting experiences il con-
nection with his "Strads."
Paginini once faced the desperate
position Of having to leave success,
friends and everything behind him in
Italy. to go to st. Petersburg and be-
gin life again. He had lost everything

at play, even down to his jewelry, and
whatever else of value he possessed.
Only his Stradivaius was left, and
for that a certain prince, who coveted
Paganini's beautiful instrument, had
asked him to fix price.
Paganini considered his own situa-
ton at the moment particularly des-
perate. He had already won a great
reputation, but had dissipated his
earnings at the card table, which, at
that time, possessed an uncomfortable
fascination for him. To leave Italy
meant sacrifice of all that he had al
ready won. In ST. Petersburg he would
have to establish his reputation again,
and might, possibly, never find oppor-
tunities such as had been afforded him
at home.
The final moment arrived for Pag-
anini to give the prince an answer
and do something to relieve his own
pecuniary embarrassment. While he
was haggling with the courtier, friend
arrived, inviting Paganini to spend the
evening at party. A party in those
days meant q game of cards, and
Paganini had but thirty francs to his
name. He knew, however, should his
evil genius still pursue him. the prince
would buy his violin at a high figure.
With st. Petersburg and all the chances
of fortune before him as an aIterna-
tive, Paganini went off to the party to
hazard his last thirty francs on the
turn Of card. or very nearly that.
His first chance reduced his thirty
francs to three. How immensely like
ST. Petersburg things were looking ct
that moment. The next shuttle, no u

Albert Champion and His Motorcycle Which
Made.

French racing machine loose in an effort
to break the record Of I'm 3s established
by himself, and, heretofore, the fastest
mile ever ridden on a track on a motor
cycle.
1t was matinee at Charles River
park, but the. heat drove the idle ones
to the beaches and the crowd was
rather small one. After the ten-mile
amateur race had been run Off, Cham
pion came out with his big four cylinder
motor. He had adopted the leather
head piece, and further protected his body
with heavy corduroy bicycle trousers and
a wooden sweater.
He was out for business, and the way
the four cylinders popped showed that
the time he had devoted to his machine
all week had not been wasted. Amid
great applause he turned a few laps to
get the machine worked up to the right
pitch. Coming around the turn at nigh
speed he nodded to the starter and the
gun went off and Champion was away
on his wild ride.
Lying fiat on the long racing machine,
SO as not to offer any resistance to the
wind as he cut through the air, he was
a picture Of daredevil nerve. He shot
down the stretch and hit the first turn.
True to his training as a motorcyciist,
and the good lines of the track, he shot
over so far that his body was in hori-
zontal position as he whizzed around the
steep bank.
Spectators hold their breath and many
persons In the front row drew back and
did not lean over the edge OF the railing
as they have in the past at races With
a master touch he steered the machine,
which was moving like projectile. He
followed the pole line as if he was glued
to it and even on the steep banks did
not deviate more than few inches from
it. His control was magnificent, and ex-
perts saw that he was out to get
record.
Lap after lap he shot around the track
while women turned their heads away
