Lolita crabtree.

The richest American actress is I'M
doubtedly Charlotte Crabtree. whom all
the world used TO know as Lolita be-
fore she retired from the stage to en-
joy herself. She is worth $1,000, 600,
all earned by herself. Her mother
guided her In saving money and invest.
Ing it wisely till she learned to do this
on her own account Lolita has as
much genius for business as she had
for comedy acting. She has learned to
take life easily and happily and looks
certainly twenty years less than her
real age, which Is fifty-nine. She has
learned apparently the secret of perpet-
ual youth. She enjoys life greatly on
her farm at Arlington, n. J. She has
lately become much interested In horse
eWning and horse racing.

Then she sought for patrons, but they
were slow In coming at first. There
was a prejudice against women as
orchestra leaders which Mrs. Hand
had to overcome, IN consequence of 1t

She was always bright and smiling to
the world and always becomingly

business woman's favor. She strove
for engagements by all honest means
in her power, and now success has

the just reward of hanging on and
working hard for one object.
