Just now. when there IS 50 much dis

Prime Necessity.

Roughly speaking. for the actress
who is busy. the motor car is a prime
necessity. for It gives one the maxi
mum OF eXhilaratiOn in the minimum Of
time. and by the very force of its rapid
progress drives the fresh air into ones
system. / am afraid few women realize
the need for physical as well as mental
exertion, and they are too inclined TO
believe themselves exhausted and in
capable Of further effort when they have
accomplished a certain amount OF work
In the theater.
''To me this seems altogether wrong.
for unless one has a healthy body one
cannot very well have a healthy brain.

This can only be obtained by going
abroad from the beaten track. For the
