Good looks, grace, Duoyancy and dajnf,r ness are to women of tae stage what a bank account is to man Gt business. Had Lillian Russ sall failed tc care for her compleXio1 and her maantieent figure she would nave been but flreside ornament by this time. The wonderful Sarah B2fnhardt, at the age of 60, when most women take to the care of their Graadbabies, is still playing roles which depict fa2cinat.ng young women. This is not the result of chance, but 6f thoughtful attention to the preserya- ton of youth.
 We are all heroines, living our own little stolies and beauty youth, per sonal loyeliness and lovability are as necessary in these real plays of life as in those make-believe stories behind the footli2hts. We have our heroes to charm-and some of Us, alas, our williams to vanquish When we lose those womanly attributes that make for sweetness, affabilty, beauty and grace we are as actresses who have been pensioned off or retired from the boards. There is scarcely a hu rho at nth hlf, has not experienced incidents, events, tragedy or comedy that woHl furnish excellent building material for a great play Shall we keep ourselves prtm- ed for the youthful roles or shall we be content to assume the part of the uninteresting dame to whom emotions ambitions and greatness of life are dead things and the joys, sorrows, nothing but words of several letters

But you'd think her a do to trailing skirts, with eyes fo- cused for her first beau and mouth anxious for Judges.
 She has the very slenderest pret- tiest figure. trim little ankles, deli cate wrists big glorious eyes fillei with the Wonderment of a child fluff fy hair that is fluttcr'ng mass of golden threads There is about her that Freshness of youth, that sparkling mental light and gay laughter that make woman adorable Stage life is not conducive to such conditions, for late hours are necessary, and the nervous strain of appearing before the public, to say nothing of the tiresome toll of bouncing over the country in stuffy trains and living in hotels would ordinarily have a telling effect Bat the women of the stage under stand these matters much better than do mortals whose paths lead in other directions. They realize that the body. nerves, muscles, brain are all undergoing a tearing down process, which must constantly be rebuilt and renewed
 They appreciate the fact that a pretty face and healthy body are ta- heritances that must be tenderly pre- served
 Good looks are no more necessary 10 them than to every woman. for We are all playing parts in the world, stage of l.fe Only the question is brought more plainly before their minds In the last few years. though. there has been general awakening to an wonankind, for which We should be thankful
 sometimes think that humanity is like great forest and women are the flowers.
