The Actress as a Woman

The snow was waist deep. In the
deep drifts a woman could be seen
working intelligently with the men.
The DEVILS Auction company was on
the train and the woman was a memr
Der of the company. She forgot her
sex, its daintiness and responsibility
and plunged into work like a man.
She ministered to the injured as they
were taken out and when the doctors
arrived was ready with quick mind
and hands to carry out their instruc-
tions. She comforted in her womanly
way the dying man. She eXemplified
life in its only worthy form. being the
greatest possible good to the greatest
possible number.
Any woman would have done the
same. you say? Not any woman. \
special sort of woman. The woman
who is forced to see a good deal Of
life. whose path has not been an easy
one, who has learned to take the
iolts of the world with a smiling face
"a bulwark that conceals the heart
from harm-a rubbing-in- process that
adds luster to good material. II is this
sort of woman when duty calls who
is first in the ranks. because she has
always been there in shadow if not
in form.
So we. at least, are not astonished
TO find her in the streets of Chicago
selling flowers for the benefit of the
Christmas ship. She may be relied
upon to do a little more than her
share. Because of her some desolate
home in Europe will see
the sun of Christmas cheer. Because
Of her the Christmas bells will keep
on Ginning. Peace on Earth, Good
