 It would seem that Booth never had sgood company" Indeed, he was con stantly accused of surrounding himself with indifferent actors in order to shine by contrast I have heard him say that he always employed the best actors he could get, and it is certain that all the well known actors of his day appeared in his support at different times, but he never had company that found much favor My own explanation is that his great gift dwarfed even exceptional tall ents.
 Everyone is familiar with the lament for the good old actors of better day Well, we had some of them-the palmy- daisies. One, a most lkable chap, whom I shall call Brown, was quite without pose and made no pretense of taking his art too seriously. I believe he had been a brcklayer, and so he was cast for all the kings He played the King of France in Lear" and so always left the theatre early. He once said to me s'Ed. how does the darned old play end anyway" Brown also played King Louis in "Rchelieu." Perhaps he was cast for these royal personages because he walked and talked in a most uncom- mon way. No one could accuse him of "crooking the pregnant hinges of the knee, for any purpose whatsoever He did not walk: he stalked One night in Salt Lake city we had a drunken man in the gallery who was inclined to be both talkatve and critical You may remem- Der the scene where the king turns from Julie and says.

CAN DO MANS WORK

Possibly the largest lesson for men in this war as regards us, is that women know how to do mans work, and often better than men themselves. English women are driving motor cars, are work ing in the factories, one the farms, ev anywhere. In England we have once more learned the lesson of the dignity of labor with the hands, and with woman's hands at that. Today no woman in England, no matter what her rank, is afraid to work, and this is lesson we in England will I ot forget after the war. That's one req son why I have always admired the peo- pie in the United States-they appreciate the honor of labor, of nara work, and are not ashamed of it. God pity them if their wealth makes them ever forget this truth.
 "This dignity of labor, of womans la bor, is going to have a large influence the marriage question, on the ques- ton of population. It has been asked: {: What will become of the young men of Europe of maria geabe age after the war is over, when there are not enough Husbands to go around or when the men reel themselves too poor to get married and assume the responsibilities of family life.
 "Well, the women who must go unmar ried will bear their hard lot as they have always borne it, they will work and keep on contributing their services to the na ton, in greater degree than in the past But we must admit that a happy mar riage is the only sensible thing for any woman. and I think that the marrying mans fear of poverty will be gotten around in this way: Women are ready to work now outside of their homes, there is no longer any stigma attached to 1t, and they will keep on doing so, Joining their wages with that of their husbands to maintain the home"

WAS SORELY NEEDED

This mental male revolution was sorely needed both in England and in Germany. I feel that in helping to down Germany, as the women of England, France, Italy and Russia are doing, by their physical work, are putting down the gerat enemy of womankind. The aiser you know has always frustrated the efforts of German women to rise from their subordinate position, he typifies the attitude of the German men. At that. however the German women will have to fight out their own salvation after the war, along with the men, They won't get any help from us. There has been too much internationalism heretofore. Now it will be a matter for each nation to solve many of it's own problems and in particular the German nation.
 England has been driven out of con servatism, at last. We women have something, that we are not inferior crea- tures l am sure that if women had had say in the conduct of the war Eng land would have been ready quicker One of our msfortunes has been that the young men, the open-minded men, have gone to the front to fight, leaving the old slow minded men, in charge Take the case of the effort to get steel hel- mets for the men so that they might be protected from bullets and especially from bits of exploding shells. After these helmets had proven useful in France, the old men in England were still discussing the advisa bility of using them.
 If women had been in charge of the supplying of their soldiers with protecting helmets, do you suppose they would have hestated to manufacture them in hurry? Women are too efficient for that. Besides their very love would have urged

Besides, Europen then will be mentally and spiritually 50 years ahead of where it was before the war started.
