/ can not give anyone the address OF
any of my correspondents; all letters
sent to me are regarded as sacred conf
dences. AS to Instructions on how TO be-
come an actress or a play author, many,
many volumes have been written, and
vet the secret has not been told. If you
feel you are fitted for acting, call on one
OF the local schools and talk the matter
over with the director who will be able
TO help you get start If you have the
ability. But do not pick out the life OF
an acress as an easy one; the work is
hard, the employment uncertain, and the
way TO success is lined with the disap-
pointed hopes of thousands who have
tried and failed. From the standpoint Of
mere, physical effort, the factory girl has
the advantage over the actress at every
point.

The laugh that was silence on her lips.
The pressure OF warm pink finger tips.
Have gone down the road Of yesterday
To the land of never never.
Gone. and tiny bit Of lace,
perfumed fan, and picture face,
crumpled glove, but no other face,
OF the land of never never.
Tears in pair of wide gray eyes,
Shadows of rose where a dimple lies
The last sad note of the music dies,
And the mists of memory drift and rise
To the land of never never.
