Stage Star Warns Frivolous Girls

discontinued the names OF the writers
will be given to the public"
A letter has Just been received from
an actor. who seems to have a very high
ideal regarding young girls, and a very
generous desire TO save them from folly.
He says I'm the course OF seasons en-
gagement I come In contact with many
young girls OF a most tender age ana
beyond reproaeh; others wild. but not
wicked, and some just standing on the
brink and ready for that terrible plunge
which means the beginning OF the end
OF youth and attractiveness. and hap
piness.
There Is no need TO say that often
times the actor Is burdened with accusa-
tons which might more fifty be borne
by the young sons of fine families and
their mature fathers. who play truant
from the monotony OF home life. Often
have seen young girls taken aside back
OF the stage and warned by members of
the company TO beware of respected
business men. who were waiting In their
cars 10 convey them to late suppers.
MY blood has boiled when 1 have
seen these men. who stood high socially,
and who are trusted at home. leading
these young girls astray. Girls are good
listeners, and sweetness and sentiment
lead easily into folly and sin.
There must be some way to bring
influence 20 bear upon such girls and
cause them 10 realize the danger OF
their situation"
The writer OF the above letter suggested
the publication OF verse and prose which
would interest such girls. and. at the
same time, warn them. His own letter
ought 10 serve as warning. Il breathes
the attitude Of a large majority Of the
best theatrical men. actors and man

Woman and Her Money
Folly of Marrying Man Who Considers that What's
His Wfes is His and What's His is His own

father every time he needed money. and
as for taking it from one who gave Il
grudgingly, and berated him for his ex-
travagance as he doled out every nickel,
why every drop of blood in him wou
rise in furious protest.
Yet that is what this man is calmly
proposing to inflict on the woman he
thinks he loves. and is go ns to marry
His idea Is. Of course, that women ms
mere chattels with no normal instincts
Of self-respect or dignity that a husband
Is bound to take into consideration. He
thinks that a woman would Just as soon
be beggar as anything else. and TINT
she rather enjoys abasing herself before
her lord and master. and taking with
graf tude such aims as he Is gracious
enough TO bestow upon her as a token
OF his generosity, and not at all IN con-
sideration Of her performing the multi
tudinous duties of wife. and mother, and
housekeeper, and social secretary.
wen. II he or any other man takes
That view Of the matter, he is making
the mistake of his life Women long for
financial independence just as much p,

work and the longest hours of env labor
IN the world. is not even listed anon,
gainful occupations. and carries with ~
no pay envelope.
The ono complaint that you hear nora
tnan any other among married women ia
that they have never a dollar of tbeir
own that they can spend as their fancy
olotates. The one thing that makes every
working girl hesitate about getting mar
red is giving up her own pocketbook.
Inc thing that does most to pronote
peace and happiness in a household il for
the man TO rise to the supernal heights
or Justice and liberality and give his
wife definite allowance for herself ana
the housekeeping, instead Of having to
have 1t corkscrewed out OF him by the
penny.
It's bad enough. goodness knows. for
the man to arrogate to himself the right
TO handle every cent of the family in
come when It's his own money, but it's
gigantic nerve for him to assume the
right to his wife's property
or one thing every woman NAV he
certain. and that Is that the right sort
of husband will not want to rob her
Of her money. and from the wrong sort
she would best protect herself by hold
ing onto her own. for a pocketbook is an
ever present help in every time of trouble,
domestic or otherwise. Also even a hus-
band treats a wife who is financially in
dependent of him with the respect that
we all show to those who have money.

that he was perfectly certain that his

The WEAKNESS of Waiting

binding himself TO the approach of rea
trouble.
Waiting Is one OF the most trying ex-
perienoeA In all the world. There IL nc

a more terrible test.
Have you ever waited for a letter that
meant life or death. love or indifference

Then you station yourself at the win

Suddenly you see him far down the
street. Closer and closer he comes,
weaving his path in and out OF door
ways. With beating heart you wait,
agonizlngly wondering as he comes closer
and closer whether he brings what you
long for.
He seems to have a tremendous mail
TO distribute and TO do II slowly and with
tortoise-like progress. Now he IL at the
door next 10 your own. He passes your
house and goes to the next
You must wait bravely for the noon
mail. and the next. perhaps. The letter
you long for may come tomorrow. And
no blow II deals can hurt you more than
did the agony OF waiting for what It
would tell you.
The impatient man believes that the
stars fight against him." says an old
proverb. And the only bad luck In all
the world is the bad luck to be weak
enough 10 believ I'm luck. Luck and
chance have very little 60 do with the
periods during which one waits.
You walt for letter because the per-
son who sent It didn't get It off in time.
That has nothing TO do with luck. but
depends entirely upon your human rela-
tionship with that person and how unset
fishly and considerably he thinks OF
you.
To highly sensitive souls who are ner-
vous and imaginative. waiting always
must be a certain strain. but they can
control that strain and not let II spell
agony. Because a loved one who said
he was coming at 5 has not arrived at 3
does not mean he has been murdered
by bandits or is never coming at all.

gorge, with perpendicular walls 100 or 900
feet in height. Following this ravine for
two miles. the adventurous traveller sud

Roman amphitheater.
Here he is confronted by temple cut

But this Is only an introduction TO the

into a narrow valley somo three miles

far. dim past7 I didn't suppose there
was man left in the world that held
to this Anticipated notion concerning a
womansa inability to handle a dollar
even her own dollar-without giving an
account Of 1t to her husband And
am more than amazed that a woman Of
this day and generation can be found
who is willing to marry a man who
frankly avows such pre-Adamite views.
Any man who wants to rob his wife
of her little Inheritance and who thinks
1t dreadful for her to have a cent of
her own to spend. or to buy her a choco-
late soda without asking his kind per-
mission, will make one of the tightwad,
tyrannical husbands who send woman
to the grave, or Reno. according to the
amount of spirit and backbone she has.
I wonder. in a case like this, how the
man would like IL II the situation were
reversed. and the woman should demand
that ne turn over to her all of his prop
erty. so that he would have to come
to her every time he wanted a dollar,
and explain what he wanted to do with
it, How would he enjoy having to hem
and haw and double and shuttle every
morning trying to screw his courage up
to the point of asking his wife for car
fare?
How would he like 1t IL every time he
wanted a new suit or hat, he had to
have either a stand-up fight to get the
money from his wife. or else cajole and
jolly II out of her by lot of lying fiat
teries that degraded him in his own
sight?
Suppose he had some relatives--a poor
sick old mother, for instance-that he
yearned to help. whom ne was willing
even to deny himself to help, but he
could never send her even so much as a
five-dollar bill because his wife held the
purse strings. and he had not a penny Of
his own?
He would find such a situation intoler-
able He would say that no man can

cially dependent on anybody else.
