Mind the Paint"
Many Union City people have no doubt
had the pleasure OF seeing the charm
ing actress, Miss Billie Burke, in one
or another of her plays, as she has
often, since her debut in America sew
eral years ago as John Drew's leading
woman, been every season as near to
us as Memphis and 81. Louis. A sea-
son ago her play went by the somewhat
mysterious title OF Mind the Paint
Girl. 1t was written by an English
man, with an English sense of humor
no doubt, and English humor when
understood is the sort that amuses with
out singing, the same not being I'M
derstood OF our own Jokes. The title
OF Miss Burke's play, which was no
doubt symbolic or figurative, or what
ever you call it, remained a mystery to
those real supporters OF the drama, the
gallery gods, and after bit it was taken
off and one OF more simple understand
ing substituted. Just what was meant
by Mind the Paint" was elucidated in
a sweet little song by the actress, who,
according to all the rules OF stage and
make up management, would have
nightly presented no such rosebud
countenance to her thousands Of adj
mirers il she had rigidly observed the
moral herself. Paint is not half as
wrecking as pale pasty countenance,
according to feminine philosophy,

an enameled Wilderness with only the
mouth painted poisoned scarlet. A
man who, like all hen-minded creatures,
thinks he knows all about il and is pre-
pared to save the world from a horrible
idea. particularly the ladies, had this to
say: The girl Of to-day is a study.
She i not like anybody on earth ex-
cept herself. She is not an heiress nor
beauty, but she must be clever and
individual in the way she dresses and
conducts herself, without being eccen-
trio. The rosebud type Of girl is not
popular, the athletic, horsy girl has had
her day. The girl OF to-day looks as i
