MY dear MISS Doon-

PRESERVING THE
FRESHNESS OF FLOWERS

Almost the first thought that fol-
lows admiration for a freshly picked
bouquet is how 1t a be preserved
the greatest length of time.
Many experiments have been un-
dertaken TO prevent flowers from tad
ipg-such as placing salt in the water,
or nipping them off and applying
sealing wax.
We have tried all methods, and
have come to the conclusion that
changing water in which the stems
are plunged frequently, and sprin-
king the flowers hourly, will keer
them fresh and fair longer than VII
other treatment.
The water used should be tepid
The cooler the temperature OF TN
anartment the better. Never leave

Immediately blight.
The last thing at night change I'M

Desires to Become an Actor

MISS Doom:
|, I read your advice column daily and
see you give answers to questions, SO
I would like to print in your
column how I can become an actor. ]
am a young man of 81 years and
would like to become an actor. I used
to sing at parties. Yours truly,
Are you sure you possess talent,
perseverance and health? Are you
willing and prepared to meet
disappointment after disappoint-
ment and still struggle on, not
for applause but art? Do you realize
hat in the army of actors there are
very few generals and many, many
~privates, and hat the life of a pri-
vate is a hard one? Are you attracted
by the limelight or by a desire to ac-
complish something worth while? If
you possess these qualities, by all
means start in the ranks of the the
atrical army. Go over to New York
and register at the agencies. CYou
will find a list of these in the back
of the City Directory under theatrical
or dramatic agencies.) Be willing to
accept a small part, IL it's only a
thinking one but, remember that
good thinking is quite sure to lead
to something better.
Aim to be a credit to the profession
you have chosen. Both the public and
the stage are SO constituted hat even
an actors private life is not free from
publicity. He cannot hope to leave
the impression that he is a hero by
playing heroic roles a few hours a
day, If the public knows he is a vii
lain the rest of the time.
