Rose of Summer
While standing in front Of one Of

that announced that dinner was ready.
After the negro had finished he turned

Violet Dale. who played the principal
/ sOubrette with the Augustin DAILY Mu-
/ steal company on the Pacific coast. had
| "A narrow escape while she and her
/ mother were rowing on the Columbia
| river The company was playing at
| Tacoma. Wash, at the time After
/ rowing a considerable distance and not
/ allowing for fast tide. they were car
ried into an eddy. Miss Dale, exerting
| herself to her utmost to eXtricate the
I boat from its dangerous position only
! succeeded in going further from shore
/ and into rOugher water. An attempt
! to row against the tide proved futile
and left the rover exhausted. In this
I predicament they were espied by two
! fishermen. who. with much difficulty,
| towed them to land, but a great dis
lance from their starting place. Miss
] Dale and her mother then tramped
across the mountains to Tacoma, arriv-
ling just as the curtain went up and
| prevented the dismissal of the audience,
| as no understudy had been provided for
! Miss Dale. Miss Dale, with the other
in town, the company having closed its
season.

/ following fashion:
while I was slumbering peacefully
| at about Z o'clock in the morning, the
| telephone in my room rang and the
clerk Informed me that there was 4

| wanted TO see me at once. Thinking
/ that perhaps the theateT was on fire or
| some accident had happened, / dressed
/ as quickly as possible and rushed to
| the Office. a man I had never seen be-
fore stepped up and introduced himself.
! He was evidently greatly exercised
about something. He said he was
! native Of India but had received a col
lege education in this country. He
! begged me to give him advice about
I matter OF vital importance / asked
him in what way I could serve him.
! Last night said he my wife left

olate. 1 have walked the streets trying
to find some way out of my difficulty.

plays with much interest-especially
! those that dealt with martial troubles

as best he could
Marie CahI has a way Of talking
! common sense straightforwardly and
/ convincingly. In a recent interview
she told. without any frills, Of the hard
time she had in gaining any promi-
hence. She spoke of the work, the dis
enlargement, the small pay. etc. then
delivered this bit of advice for the am
bilious:
THE one thing I should like to say
TO a beginner would be: Make up your
mind to win out on the square Influ-
enCe, pull may get you your oppOrtu-
nifty, but only earnest, hard, incessant
work day and night, and you must love
it, will bring you success.
1T is the girl with enc purpose that
gets there finally The girl that subOr-
dinates everything to that purpose.
concentrates on and concentrates her
self 20 that one purpose; that allows no
pursuit and no claim. no demand to
interfere with her determination to win
the goal by the inCessant labor that
must be her price, gladly given, that is
bound to win.
'Oh, I tell you, when / found that
Nancy Brown was al right, that she
had landed on her feet. don't you know.
/ I just went down on my knees and
thanked God and prayed harder than
ever that I might not lose through any
fault of mine my place in the esteem
of the public and l tell you I've done
some tar praying"
