BY ELIZABETH ELLIOTT.

| couid, to a hard working actress In a
| FrOhman company. is the change
! which has come into the life Of Mrs.
Roslyn Mundeu. of the fine old Au-
gusta, Ga, family of that name. The
change came becouse Mrs. Mundell
insisted that it should come
She. woman of breeding, highest
social position, beauty, charm, and
with all that-vibrantly magnetic, has
left the butterfly existence to which
she was born and in which she was
bred and has gone out into the world,
where she declares things and people
are worth while"
Though being an actress is the
hardest work in the world, she in
sists that never before in her life
has she been happier.
Sees All Phases Of Life.
Mrs. Mundel has been on the stage
but a few weeks, but in that time she
has made it her business to see every
| phase of stage life, and she is
! charmed.
81 was so frightened when Chey
told me ] was to be interviewed" she
| Confided to me when we met and
| started our chat, but / really don't
| believe it's going 10 be so bad after
| all"-and we were soon launched out
/ onto the discussion of life and it's as
| poets from all angles.
Love and hard work, then more
| love and more hard work are the
| panaceas for every known ILL.," she
/ told me.
| "Love-that's my religion. And
| when we have love in our hearts, be
It for one person or for humanity in
general, we have a sure hold on hap
| piness. When we love and love truly
we forget ourselves. and when we
have succeeded in putting self abso-
lutely and eternally in the back
| ground then the doors to happiness
open on all sides and before we know
| 1t we wake up to find ourselves in
| full possession of that which we have
pursued so breathlessly.
Most Important in World.
Love is the most important thing
in the world. and no woman ever did
anything more wonderful or more
worth while than just loving.
mo girl, no matter how talented,
should seek a career. A good hus-
band, a happy home and a nice big
| family Of children should be her ca
reer-the only one worth while and
the only one she should ever desire.
Many girls are carried away by the
| glamour Of it all, but nothing counts
in the end as does love concentrated
in the home. l wish we might make
our suffragettes realize this"
Then you're not suffragette?' l
questioned
| 70 av,I hnr
danced delightfully."- at the very
thought or it, NO, indeed. l think
every Southern woman is essentially
a home woman and believes she
should use her influence with her hus-
| band and with her sons to bring about
| the conditions she desires rather than
| going out and fighting for them her
self. A woman gains nothing and
loses much by these suffrage meth
| ods.
Next to love comes work. Love
and work can transform the ugliest
woman in the world into a beauty.
| Love and work can make the most
unhappy woman the happiest and
love and work can make the most
miserably unhealthy woman the
| healthiest. It's the forgetting of self
which counts. With love comes un-
| selfishness. If two people really love
each other and marry, they will each
/ be unselhsh, each will work for The
| other; they will make their interests
/ common; they will enjoy real com
panionship and can't help finding
| happiness.
School for Unhappy Wives.
| You know, l think there should be
school for unhapDy wives. l think
| II would be pretty full" she added
with rising infection and a charm
| ing smile which showed her wonder
full teeth
There they could be taught the
| fundamental essentials for the max
/ ing of a happy home, or If they were
absolutely untitled for that course,
/ then we might give them Another
/ perhaps a business course or a train
/ ing for some other career-but some
| thing which would keep them busy.
! II the women who fool and fritt II
/ their time away, the women with
money, society women-who as a rule
are the most unhappy women of the
world simply because they are per-
haps the most selfish women of the
| world-would start out and do some
| thing really worth while, they woul1
| find that happiness was not the delI-
sion and the snare they have come 10
| believe IT. 1t is simply because they
are selfish that they are unhappy.
/ They love themselves, and that never
/ does. So much OF our trouble is mere
| ly due to a wrong mental attitude.
Il think il a girl has no parents to
! protect her that she should marry
| younS the younger the better, for she
surely needs a protector. A man
should marry just as soon as he is
| financially able. | would say to any
/ girl, no matter how alluring her ca
reer might look, put 1t aside and
| marry
"Staee Is Wonderful"
The stage I think II is wonderful
| The people Of the stage are not
class, they're a race They are the
most human, the most broad minded.
the most intensely interesting class of
people one could wish to know.
III all companies are like mine
and, of course, 1 know of no others-I
should not have the least fear in let
ting young daughter of mine go on
the stage. The pitfalls we hear so
much about are missing and a girl is
really more protected there than she
would be in many other lines Of
work.
What is the most important essen
tial of success on the stage?" I asked.
