It stands in a green country valley
In the lee Of a cottonwood grove
Where robins build nests and where
daily,
Or seem to, the cloulets which
rove.
Upon it's bold front are the batters
OF hailstones which fell long ago;
The awning is folded up tatters,
The plaything of breezes which blow.
Dried Goldfish is piled on the counter;
There's candv in sticks, in the jars;
On boxes the weather seers banter
OF cyclones and sky shooting stars.
sTis a hundred miles from the the
city
It's tumult and rabble and strife
But none would d. clare this 4 pity
Who has scented the sweet of the life
Amidst skirmishing platoons of poul-
try,
The humming Of trees and where soar
The henhawtks in circles, serenely,
Above the old, gray rural store. :.

Singly and in pairs they de- seconded upon the towns and villages of the east and middle west, and as a result girls of every type and hue are trekking toward Gotham.
 Musical colleges especially are sought by these scouts, and so far the returns have been fairly good the village store the farm. and the church choir have all been levied on for their quotas of stage struck maidens, and all have responded right nobly, 'ts said.

GOO. There were two other similar missves from Great Britain.
 Marciant soon found the task of opening the letters too much for him, so he called for aid from other patrolmen. A back room of the police station is being used as a post office, and whenever a policeman has a few minutes off duty he acts as Merchants private secretary. The contents of some of the letters are so amusing as to cause the blueeoats to almost split their sides with laughter. Finally the men made so much noise that the chief had to. go back and quiet them.

Yes, the scout is most convincing talker. It behooyes fathers mothers, and music teachers in the smaller towns to be- ware or watchful.

to form" i.s it were so as to give Broadway logue and the scenery.
 Beatrice Van Houten has palled on the artistic temperament of the '' first nighters'; they have grown aweary of the more or less blonde, the usually heavy and always hoarse person who for many years has pointed her dainty toes at the glistening domes in the front row. In fact, New York just now IS suffering from a surfeit of the Broadway chorus girl.
 There have been attempts before to change chorus types but usually she was the same old girl with different curl and a new, big, wide brimmed hat' as the song runs or as the Broadway verse maker has it:
 |" Her hair at first was lovely brown;
 She yeiowed it next year,
 And then she changed it to red,
 And now it's black, l hear! "
 That was the trouble; she was always the same-looked, danced, and ogled in the same old way It most assuredly did detract from the realism of a dairy maids dance to behold a bunch of girls who wouldn't recognize a COW if they should see one, let alone under stand the process whereby the lacteal fluid is extracted
 And just now realism is the thing If the shifts in the stage setting, why not carry the " ideal " bit further and have chorus girls who will look as if they had speaking ac-

 That his work is satisfactory-that is to his employers-is shown by the tide of stage struck girls that is flowing Broadwayward. They go from every state in the union with the exception, it is said, oi Nevada. Arizona, Florida, and New Hampshire. Why these not represented is only explainable by the probability that the scout has not yet in- vaded those sections.
 And the good word that a type of chorus girl is wanted has spread beyond the seas the Philippine Islands responded to the call with a pretty dark eyed little maiden from Luzon, and from Constantinople came a little girl who speaks Turkish much better than English
 But the question arises; Will this ingenue type the scout has sought and found loEg withstand the tendency to melt into the typi- cal Broadway worldly wise type? And then what will be the next type demanded? This doesn't worry the new scout at all, for his only concern is to supply present demand.

According t, Mort II. Singer, musical com edy producer, New York producers by their display of fayoritism in the selection of girls for the chorus virtually closed the field to the newcomer until recently. The result was that girls aspiring to positions on the stage steered clear of New York. Thus the Broadway type was developed, and if there is any blame to be attached the producers can take it all upon themselves.
 They are largely responsible for the con ditions that have now necessitated the ployment cf chorus girl scouts'
 With Chicago, the field has always been an open one and no favortes played" The result has been the hopes of the young girl who sees her future in the stage have been focused on Chicago, which Is now one of the great producing centers. fl the applicant had the requisite good looks, voice, and ability to dance she usually had but little trouble in getting trial It was then up to her to make good
