, course, the stage is looked upon with
much more favor The stage and the
church are closely allied, and one is often
named in the same breath with the other
and"
Besides, both you girls have made a
great success" 1 suggested, land perhaps
that was panacea to the family
l asked these young women later what
| their idea was about girls choosing the
stage as a profession. / explained that
| meant nice girls; girls who were Well
born and well bred, and what their
chances were.
Edith spoke up quickly and said:
"It matters a good deal what branch Of
the stage they choose, and how young
they are, when they do it. For instance,
| should say that a girl who goes on the
stage very young, and who grows up
with it as we have, stands good chance
| to succeed, but the girl whose life has
been spent in the narrow limits of her
home, and she's done society and has
been protected and shielded like hot
house flower runs a big risk in going on
the stage.
| But everybody can't be infant prodi-
| gies from the start as you two have
| heen," I remarked.
They smiled at each other-their fasci-
| mating, girlish' smiles and with great
should be passed upon them.
Really, we've worked awfully hard,
! said Mabel. 1T is not all bed of roses,
! and another thing, speaking of the estage
/ as a profession, tive girl who takes up a
| serious study of the drama instead of
musical comedy or light opera seems to
| have more of a chance to withstand the
temptations and the pitfalls There are
numbers of nice girls in musical shows,
| but 1t must be rather an uphill fight"
| Really
| l wish you could have met the Tala-
| ferro girls as 1 did yesterday.
| Informal and perfectly unostentatious,
| so refined, so we'll bred, such lovely crea-
lures as they are-I believe anyone who
| knew them or who could hear them talk,
1t matters not how prejudiced they are,
would have a very different idea of the
| stage afterward.
| I'm sure that the tribute that they both
so justly deserve and the homage that
is theirs so absolutely-theirs by divine
right of beautiful young womanhood,
cannot be too lavishly bestowed, and the
| stage is better and more exalted now,
| and it always will be, for the very pres
ence of these two splendid young women.
