and self-denial' has awakened in the
dawn of. q gray day in her middle age
to the realization that real success
has never come to her-that it never
can come. Then perhaps has she fel.
with bitterness in her heart that she
could have lived a much happier, 4
much fuller life had she given 1t all
to making some man happy and to
the upbuilding of q little home.
But Then, It's Not So Had.
However. I don't want to paint too
dark a picture. Even the humblest
actress has her little joys: and to her
who possesses real histrionic talent,
together with plenty Of ambition and
health-and beauty, too-the stage
offers glorious possibilities. To such
a girl there will come rich compensa-
tons for every sacrifice. There will
be applause and flowers and hosts Of
worth while friends, and financial
reward, too. But greatest and best Of
all, there will be the satisfaction. that
comes from having done a great work
well-a satisfaction far greater than
wealth or applause could bring.
So II you happen to be an ambi-
tious and stage-struck girl. and COM
ppetent critics rather than doting
friends have told YOU that you pos
sess real talent. don't let anything
I've said discourage you. For al
though the stage never exacted more
from its followers than 1t does to-
day, 1t lever had quite so much to
give.

ry the increased business. and this
was n of the causes Of poor light in
the past. This. in addition to the big
overload carried by the plant also, has
caused the power and light to be be-
low the standard.
The matter of installing transform.
ers of sufficient size and capacity to
properly carry the large number of
lights. will only be a matter Of a lit

arations to meet this emergency have
already been made and a number of

the one big handicap in the form OF
the old plant out of the way, the re.
mainder promises to be comparatively
easy in giving Williston an up to date

Stage Demands Much. :

humble follower shall possess talent
Of a high order. and then that she
shall work, work. work! Work she

and the poise of her head that, with

walks and the way the hands are man.
