Great interest in swimming has been
| aroused this spring by course In ave
lessons given by a member of the Reo
Cross Life Saving Instruction Corps
1t was announced that only twenty
four could be accommodated. but
tEirty-three enthusiasts turned out.
Accordingly the Red Cross kindly al
lowed their representative. Robert
Miller to give three extra lessons In
order that more might enjoy the in
struction. On the last day a demon
stration of resuscitation was given for
the benefit of the whole college.
Half stranglei girls can still be OBJ
served in the pool daily trying out on
friend the break of "the front
strangle hold" the ''over arm carry"
or the "saddleback carry" BY the end
OF the course nearly all could break
from the various holds possible to a
drowning man, carry a person their
own weight the length of the pool in
several different ways and lift person
their own weight in shallow water
and carry him ashore. They were also
expert in fetching weight from the
bottom of the pool and in applying
artificial respiration. The interest has
spread liko wildfire. and many who
did not take part this year are already
planning for next.
The annual spring swimming meet
between the classes has taken place
for twenty years.
The interest this year Is augmented
by the fact that the class of '23 Is to
present to the college silver cup in
memory of their classnate. Ellen Ran

this winter. This will be competed for

An Actress of Certain Age"
Difficult to Fit With Par,


Difficult to Fit With Part
Thus for almost decade an actress
"of a certain age" has been often
unable to find a play suitable to her
talents. and when she took one which
wasn't It was stroke of luck if she
got more than three months salary
out of it. Meanwhile it may be as well
to remember that there are twelve
months in year and one has to dine
the other nine.
Salaries to-day, irrespective of repu-
tation and ability, are set at far
loftier figure than they were In the
SOS. For an example. when played
in the stock company organized by
Mr.. Lester wallack after he moved
the theater which bore his name up
to Broadway and Thirtieth street. al
though I was leading lady my salary
was but 5000 week. 1t was not
sufficient for extraordinary demands
upon 1t. Such a one was made when
the play "Forget-Me-Not" was put on.
For the three gowns, hats, &C., wore
in that modern play 1 went to Paris
and they cost me cool thousand
dollars, great sum for those days.
Later this expense was considered
when at the end of the season the
company wished to give me a benefit
chose to play in the famous and
lachrymose Camille" beloved OF the
young "tartlets,' which Is what dear
Harry Montague-idol of the matinee
girls-used to call them.
Even If 1t is a depression in this
rambling story / can't resist telling
about tkis benefit. Osmond Tearle
was the Armand and the rest of the
cast was made up of distinguished
names. The house was packed, the
audience was delighted and the
flowers received filled three car
riages. The check handed me as the
result financially OF the benefit
amounted to $4,000. which repaid me
for being so extravagant in my dess-
ing in "Forget-M Not"
Between this, for me, epochal mo-
ment and that great night. the last
night of Wallack's Theater. when

logue after THE School for Scandal"
great many years were to elapse,
years crowded for me with happy
work and opportunities that I shall
always be grateful for. How much
learned of my art as different parts
We're given me TO study and how
much of human nature! 1 cannot
measure these things, but perhaps it
is possible for me in long retrospect
TO see with after vision the changes
that came over the theater.

nF all housekeeping drudgery and monotony
~ that of cleaning is the worst. You can, in
a pinch, farm out your washing and ironing
and you can dine out. But dusty, dirty floor
coverings, hangings and furnishings cannot be
sent out without great inconvenience and dis
comfort. They must be cleaned at home either
by the tired housewife or by engaging expensioe
outside help.
Broom-and-duster cleaning never cleans clean.
1t is but "lick-and-a-promise," driving the
dirt from room to room, into hidden, inaccessible
places where it collects disease germs and is an
ever present menace to health and happiness.

When Electric Cleaning
Enters Your Home

Several million housewives have found the
ansscer in the electric oacunm cleaner.
The difference between cleaning the old
way and electric cleaning is like the difference
between washing with plain water and washing
with soap. You cannot wash clean without
soap nor clean clean without the electric
vacuum cleaner.
The electric vacuum cleaner soon pays for
itself by saving costly cleaning labor, time, and
by preserving cherished household furnishings
Furthermore, the housewife will pay less for
the electricity to run her machine than she
now spends for soap!
