FEW YOUNG FRENCH STARS
~ Leading Actresses Are Not Al,
Grandmothers. They Might
Easily &c.

The imrresario, Schurmnnr OF Paris,
who has toured most of the stars"
has written a most entertaining book
Of memoirs under the title OF Secrets
de Coullsses"
lie says II Is becoming increasingly
difficult or organize tours abroad be.
cause Of the scarcity Of young talent.
II all the leading actresses are not
grandmothers, he rather ungallantly
remarks. they might easily be.
The reason Paris does not revolt
against this perpetual eclipse Of the
young and ardent debutante. he goes
on to say. Is because the public OF the
"repetitions generates" Is itself old
and never changes. II would be con.
scious OF It's bald head and gray whis.
kers II II saw q new artist In the front
rank
The lady Of a thousand charms may
weigh a hundred kilos or so and may
have lost all outward grace. but. hap.
PLY for her--though unhappily for ART
tho habitue looks upon her with the
eyes Of oneand.twenty. Yet the gen.
eral public, according to the impre.
sario. has not the same reason for
wishing to be deceived, and so--it
stays away.
He proposes to attract the public to
the legitimate drama by substituting
younger actresses for the passe stars
OF the present day.

VERY RICH NEVER GENEROUS
They May Give Away Their Money,
but Never Themselves, says
q. X. Chesterton.

There are two other odd and rather
important things to be said about
them. The first is this: That with
this aristocracy we do not have the
chance of a lucky variety in types
which belongs to larger and looser
aristocracies. The moderately rich
include all kinds Of people-even
good people. Even priests are some.
times saints; and even soldiers are
really grown wealthy by curing their
patients and not by fattering them !;
some brewers have been known to
sell beer. But among the very rich
you will never find really generous
man. even by accident. They may
give their money away. but they will
never give themselves away: they are
egotistic. secretive. dry as old bones.
To be smart enough to get all that
money. you must be dull enough to
want II.
Lastly. the most serious point abou.
them Is this: That the new miser is
flattered for his meanness and the

The Scottish Thistle.

The origin OF the thistle as the M.
tional badge Of Scotland Is thus given
by tradition. When the Danes invaded
Scotland II was deemed unwarlile tn
attack the enemy by night. instead OF
In pitched battle by day; but on one
occasion the invaders tried a night
attack. In order to prevent their
tramp being heard they marched bare
footed, and they had succeeded In
creeping close up 70 the Scottish
forces unobserved. when one OF them
stepped on a thistle and uttered cry
Of pain. The alarm was given, and
the attack was beaten OF. Out OF
gratitude the thistle was adopted as
the insignia Of Scotland.
