and sleepers are not to be found in Europe.
In all these places Conried had to visit
performances at operas and theafers IN the
evening, besides interviewing various prom
Using performers before or after or some
times both. Truth to TELL the director OF
the Metropolitan Is not welcome visitor
everywhere. Managers hear OF his arrival
with some apprehension, and are fearful
lest he should capture their biggest stars
They know the great financial resources OF
the American opera and dread the effect OF
a big offer to singers earning compare
lively modest wage here.
But in one respect, and that very I'M
portant one, Conried enjoys their esteem.
They know that he will never try to per-
suade a singer to break his contract to
come to New York. And managers there
are who are not above such practices But
Conried says that he realizes that the man
who breaks his contract in Europe will
break 1t in America also, If 1t suits him
to do so.
Comparing his present visit with those of
former Years, Conried says the two most
striking features are the big salaries de-
manded and the absence of ingenues or
young performers. Actors and singers sal
aries have doubled in Europe In the past
five years. 1t Is because new theaters are
constantly beng built, while no new talent
is coming forward. No less than thirty
Germany and Austria since 1900. But there
are no new actors to come on these stages.
For this Conried says the unhealthy stand
ard of modern plays Is responsible. Such
writer's as Ibsen, Sudermann, Hirschfeld
and, on the English stage, Pinero, have
brought 1t about. Young people who visit
the theater are no longer enthusiastic about
1t when they return home They have not
the slightest desire to see themselves ap-
pearing upon the stage Formerly when
they went to see Shakespeare, Goethe,
Schiller and such great authors played
they went home with wild delight. They
recited, detained, gesticulated, acted and
vowed the stage was the only possible ca
reer.
But the new plays contain no characters
which appeal to or interest them greatly.
There Is no longer the simple maid, bashful
and blushing, not understanding the mean
ing Of love. The modern play may have a
young girl, but she is no longer simple or
bashful, and she has to explain to the au-
dience what love Is in terms which are
frequently indicate. Ibsen began this
work with his problem plays and one re-
suit is that the young ingenues from
whom the stage Is recruited are gone en-
tirely. Once there were hundreds; now
managers cannot find units. Directors are
in despair-the stage is barren Of new tai
ent and there is little prospect of\any i'm

Summer Is the time for wooing health,
which Is the synonym OF beauty, and every
woman knows what rest will do for the
restoration of good looks. The woman who
has been part of the social whirl or whose
life is filled with onerous duties has WORKED
such havoc with her nerves that she has
forgotten how to rest by the time her va
cation begins, and she has to start at the
foot of the ladder that leads to beauty.
Rest is imperative Regular habits are es-
sential. Proper food is necessary. A tired
out woman Is not woman In normal
state. She is nerve sick, and repose Is the
one achievement quite beyond her power to
acquire. Rest you must have if you would
replace your wasted looks by freshness and
beauty.
Every woman needs an abundance Of
sleep. Eight hours anyhow, and nine If she

you decided to save your energies for only
what was important, and during your free

rest, and make your home vacation worth
