couldn't feel its soothing influence. His friend
tossed the end of his into the open crate. "Iet's

brave enough to go out and battle with the world
in general, as she must do!
The leader of this club tells us that the object
in organizing is to protect girls who follow the
profession of stenography from undue attentions
on the part of the men who employ them. She
goes to say that there are many men who do
not employ these young women because they re-
quire their services as typewriters, but because
they wish to have conveniently near charming
and entertaining companions to dine with them.
This is no doubt, true of many unprincipled men
with whom these young women are forced to asso-
ciate but it is absurd to think that our independ-
ent sef-possessed "takecare- herself" American
girl needs to join a club of this sort in order to
shield herself and guard against invitations to
dinner and attentions that are obnoxious to her

of the enterprise and initiative of the ladies who
have started it.
This is "The Music Hall Ladies Guild" which
was founded over a fortnight ago. So ener-
retic have the promoters been, and so popular is
the scheme that already in this brief space OF
time over 200 members have been enrolled.
The object is to lend moral and financial assist
ance 10 women music hall artists and the wives
and children of the male artists, and stranded
performers will be assisted to their destination
by loans, which they expected to repay as
soon as convenient. In explaining the object
of the organization one of the officers said:
Another thing l should mention is dresses.
Very often popular artistic has expensive dresses,
which she only wears for few weeks, and then
sells to secondhand dealer. When a poor ar
tiste wants to purchase such dresses she is usual
" made to pay very considerable advance for
them. and slender salaries viii not stand exorbi-
tant prices for such things. Now, these dresses
will az rule be given to us, and We shall supply
them either free or at nominal cost, according
to the circumstances OF the artiste.
"Another important object is the of or
nhans and the children of poor artists. We
shall make it our special care TO find employment
for such as program Sellers call boys, or perhaps
work in an office. Where possible, we shall as
sist them in obtaining parts in sketches in which
