THEIR OTHER WIVES.

only i'm the ranks of the 400 Is 1t
possible to find anything like the number
of divorced people that there is on The
stage" writes Louis Baury. in Human
Life. for February. And on behalf of
the actors and actresses be IL said that
they at least have far more excuse than
the folk of fashion.
The actor does not have home. IN
any true sense of the word. Unless he
happens to he in some company with
his wife he can see but little of her. and
so possibly the estrangement growing
out Of enforced separation for long pc
RODS is not so much his fault as it might
at first appear.
They are strange fOIk-these pcOpls
of the stage and none may really know
them unless he is truly of them, and
then he won't tell. So let us merely
stick to the facts and draw what lessons
and inferences we may from them-but
keep those lessons strictly TO ourselves.

scarcely a popular actor on the American
stage who has not another wife
