Chilean dollars liter, and it is almost
impossible to obtain meat. even at
high prices.

Rain, which began to fall Immediate
ly after the first shock, stopped an
hour afterward. The nights are very
cold and windy and the people sleep
ing in the open are suffering greatly.

Struggles and Rewards Of staa

Struggles and Rewards OF Stage.
The stage Is like no other profession
in the world. There are no prescribed
courses of study, no regular textbooks,
and no diplomas, except the applause Of
audiences, and this is an uncertain
quantity. Above all else 1t Is a pro-
fession In which individuality counts
for nearly everything, yet that same in
d'viduality has to be sunk completely
that artistic success may be attained,
paradoxlcal as, this statement may
seem.
Thorn-strewn Is the path Of one ar.
tistically inclined in this profession.
AN, mere Is so much to overcome-so
many heartbreaking disappointments to
endure! In other professions one learns
his lessons, and a sufficient number of
lessons learned means proficiency. With
the actress it is very, very much diffes-
ent There is no end to the study, the
lessons oS greatest value are learned
through trials, and many earnest ef-
forts often prove to be but so much
time wasted. Hundreds fail where one
succeeds; the selfish trampie onward
over the meek; the modest and unas-
Stunning seldom rise above the foot of
the ladder. But, with all this in mind,
can still feel that the dramatic profess
sion Is more than worth while. Great
rs the struggle, the reward is common
su'ate. For many reasons a woman
may attain greater fame, greater sue
cess, and greater intellectual heights
through being an actress than would
be hers In any other profession. Sarah
Eernhardt in Success Magazine.
