the stage or picture work as profession.
He says:
Don't you realize, my dear Miss Pick

course with you, you would never have
been where you are today. Don't you
think 1t is right that others should have

I wish l could make him understand
how 1t was that went on the stage az
all. How. when my father died, my
mother was left with herself. three little
children and an invalid mother TO sup
port. 1t happened that child was needed
in production In one of the local
theaters just for one week, and someone
who knew us suggested that might mt
the part. That was the beginning. bur
never since that day have ] ever been
left to stand alone, to face the worries
and uncertainties which beset those IN
the profession. All through my stage
experience 1t has been my mother who
has braved the storms and shouldereo
the burden for us three.

girls 1t has always been to those who
were Inexperienced and unprotected. !
wonder IL this man would really like
to see little sister of his step out of
her school work alone, into the maelstrom
OF theatrical life. The field is already
overcrOwded with people who have no
knowledge whatever Of the technique OF
their business. who think that success
depends on a sort of hit-or-miss llba-

Luck.
They have no conception OF the pa

strain, and above all practical knowledge
OF what is required OF you, that are
needed by those who would attain sue

never understand what It all means until
he has had actual experience.
The other letter Is from a boy in Chi

country from Copenhagen, Denmark, and
is seeking for some trace Of his LOST
sister. Her name is Alfredo; he has
heard that when she came to this coun-

every once in a while, but all of them

was never satisfied with any position
which she succeeded in obtaining She
wanted to go on the stage, like so many

YOUR WEDDING DAY
BY MARY MARSHALL.
May 1I-CharIes I and Henrietta
And the Famous Men and Women
Who Have shared IL.

May 11-CharIes I and Henrietta
Maria.
Il was the happiest and most fortunate
OF queens" wrote poor Queen Henrietta
Maria in the days of her misfortune.
Not only had 1 every pleasure which
heart could desire, but. above all, ! had
the love OF my husband. who adored me. 4"
What a strange thing II seems that
the kings whose domestic lives are far
thest from reproach are so frequently
the ones who bear the brunt of the odium
Of their subjects. Henry VII, with his
six wives, was one OF the most popular
OF English monarchs and was fondly
called the good King Hal. when his peo-
pie knew well enough his treatment Of
his wives. And yet Charles !. whose do
mestic life was ideal, who was. in fact.
morally superior to any king that had
sat on the throne for a hundred years or
so, was the one who suffered execution
at the hands of his people
And poor Louis XVI, who at least was
faithful to his pretty little Marie An
toinette. suffered execution at the hands
Of the infuriated French populace, though
Louis XIV and Louis XIV had lived lives
Of the most open infamy. Oddly enough
at the present time the recently depOsed
CZ-r of Russia might have been pointed
out as very striking example of the
moral king, were ii not for the fact that
just at present rakishness among Euro
pean monarchs has gone out Of fashion.
and on almost every throne OF Europe
sits king of moral rectitude.
To go back to little Henrietta Maria,
the daughter OF Henry " OF France
and Marie de Medici. She was married
Just 293 years ago today in the old ca
thedral Of Notre Dame in Paris. As
was the custom of the time she was
married in her own territory to a proxy
who represented the English monarch. It
was not until June that the young queen
actually reached England and beheld the
handsome Charles Stuart who had al
ready been her husband for more than a
month.
Owing to the fact that the plague was
raging in London at the time the festivi-
ties were very few. and the little queen
and her husband at least were spared
the embarrassment and annoyance Of
having to go through the usual number
of public parades and displays so usually
the portion Of royal brides and bride
grooms.
