ford was never in better health and
her weight is less than it would have
been if she had not followed the rules
of not worrying, living simple and
taking plenty Of exercise i'll the open
air
Some good and timely advice is given
by Miss Lillian Russell who is APP
pearing in her new and successful
comedy. ''The Butterfly" by Kellett
Chambers, in a recent interview. One
would miss beauty. I suppose, but the
tragedy would be 10 have some dread
full accident-to lose a leg, for instance,
and never be able TO go about or work
again. ] often think of that. If that
happened to me l should kill myself.
But why speculate?' she added. And
with this the secret of the smooth
brow. the childlike mouth. the beauti-
ful, nerveless body, the eternal youth,
was revealed.
II never think of yesterday. nor of
tomorrow. Today is enough. don't
make any plans for the future. l never

fatalist. l always think. If / make
such a plan, and it doesn't work out
well, l shall be disappointed, SO I won't
make it, it is much better, ] think, to
be governed by presenteoonditions, and
do what at the time seems best Is
it not written: Do not worry about
the future. You will meet it, if need
be, with the same reason that you now
employ IN your present affairs?' "
Marcus AureliUs?" queTied the in
terviewer.
Miss Russell nodded. He is my con-
slant companion" she said. Il have
all the twelve little books in my
ROOM"
The diva pursed her lips Is a school
girl does when her task is hardly toll
cradle, Not so much she said.
"Epictetus was lame and poor and UNI
fortunate, ard what he wrote reflected
those conditions. But Marcus Aurelius
was noble. and that nobleTess seemed
only the natural unfolding of his life.
He looked upon everything that hap
pened as a part Of the development
that we call life" And she quoted
further from the Roman emperor
philosopher: Accept the gifts of for
tune without pride, and part with them
without reluctance"
L think said Miss Russell, that
! could lose whatever I have tomorrow
and not grieVe for it. 1t would seem to
me TO be the working out of natural
law And again she quoted the stole
philosopher. The words We're strangely
incUngruOus upon the lips of this vital
beauty. but she pointed an earnest,
convincing finger as she spoke: Act,
speak and think as one who knows that
he can at any time depart from life
The subject of economy was then
preached Miss Russell is understood
to be an advocate of economy. She
was putting on a big, black velvet hat,
a somber frame for a perfect face,
while she talked Yes girls should
save money" she said THE girl who
earns S25 a week should save SO.
When she earns $50, she should save
$25.' She put her hat on as French
women do, drawing it up from the
back on the head first, posing it dain-
tily at last on top of her head and
turning slowly before the triplicate
mirror to see that it was so placed that
it was equally becoming at all angles.
She should, but I am reasonably sure
she won't" sch added, with charming
inconsequence. THE first $50 l saved
l spent for a watch. It was afraid of
working too hard, and would go part of
the time. But it was watch. Then l
began saving. again, and this time
bought a sealskin sacque. My third
pile of savings went for a pair of tur-
quoise earrings. set with diamonds.
What should a girl do with her
savings? Live on it during the summer
when she is not earning anything.
When she has saved enough, she would
do well to invest in real estate in town. !
New York real estate isn't bad /
have never lost money in that. But
never made cent on the races. have
won, but [ have lost, too, and at the
end of the season the story is always
the same-I am not ahead dollar"
