Renewed interest in the preserva'
ton of the Alhambra has manifested
itself in Spain. The governor of Gran
ada has had building experts and in
Huential citizens meet to discuss plans
for preventing the palace from going
sng into complete decay. The struc-
ture was begun in the thirteenth cen.
tury, and has passed through various
vicissitudes. When the French evac.
uated it in 1872. they blew up some Of
the towers to destroy its value as a
fortress, and in 1921 it was damaged
by an earthquake. Queen Isabella in
terested herself in it in 1862, and be-

stars Of the nigger-show-Billy Birch,
David Wambold, Backus and a de-

made life pleasure to me 40 years
ago and later. Birch, Wambold and
Backus are gone years ago; and with
them departed TO return no more for

which to me had no peer and whose
peer has not yet arrived, in my ex-
perience. We have the grand opera;

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

FROM WOMANS POINT OF VIEW

there Is no great demand for an elaborate
or even fresh costume. In that class
exists the sensible fashion Of wearing
clothing as long as possible, with a GER
tain difference 10 fashion.
The restlessness of the ordinary woman
is a drain on her purse. She Graves
change In her surroundings. and money is
necessary to secure it, She wants every
new bit Of fashion that comes out and
must spend TO secure II. and unless she
has an unlimited supply OF cash she is
sure to be overstocked in one direction
and lacking In another. A complete ward
robe means that nothing is lacking, you
know
Fortunate the woman who finds dress
maker who can cut and fit clothing, sew
It neatly, and WELD the fiatiron in a skill
full fashion We do not wish to take them
away from the class who need them most.
but we could wish that their number
might be multiplied indefinitely. The num-
Der of bad-httlng. botched garments sent
out from dressmaking rooms is something
TO think about. and such prices as we are
expected to pay for them, too! There is
independence as well as a good living IN
making decent clothing. and any woman
who can meet the requirements need not
wait long for patronage. One satisfied
customer will recommend her TO another,
and If the dressmaker is shrewd enough
TO begin with one who has a large &C
quaintance and some influence, her future

ACTING rs HARD WORK.
a Players Idea of the Task of Anus
ing the Public.

Does the actor really work. asks
John Slavin, the actor. Or are his efforts
to amuse and entertain merely play?
Did you ever stop 10 think that it is
hard work TO keep a thousand people
amused for nearly three hours? 1t is
difficult for the man or woman who sits
out in front TO appreciate the fact that
the people on the other side Of the foot
lights are working hard. He is being
amused. It is recreation for him TO sit
out in front. He pays TO be entertained.
and he cannot realize that some one must
work hard to furnish him with his mon
ey S worth Of amusement.
The other night I was leaving the
theater after two hard performances on
one Of the few warm days we have had.
I met n friend out I'm front, and he in
vited me to take supper with him.
protested and said I was too tired and
wanted to get 10 bed and rest.
Why, what are you tired from?" he
asked in surprise.
ooh, Just work. that's ALL" I replied.
Here was an instance Of what / believe
the public thinks Of the actors labOrs /
am not mentioning all the long and ar
duous rehearsals which the actor must
attend. or the task OF whipping a poor
book into shape-which has fallen to my
lot 50 many times. But II Is the hard
work Of actually playing. When every
one else has holiday the actor Is work
ing. When every store. bank. and office
In town is closed the actor Is working.
When every one else Is enjoying himself
the actor is hard at work. Yet the man in
front does not realize this. Every line
that Is spoken. every step that is danced,
every bar OF music that is sung, requires
effort. II requires attention, alertness,
and earnestness. 1t means that the actor
must be ever watchful His mind Is
never allowed to rest during a perform
ance. The smallest detail TO the public
is big matter with him, Every gesture
must be studied, every line must be given
with proper emphasis.
If any one does not believe acting Is
hard wC-k I will let him try to play
my part any afternoon or night he
wishes. Come and be convinced.
