Women in the News

Why I Am Glad I Was Born Poor

I am grateful far many things, and one special cause for gratitude is. so unusual that I bare snatched a halt hour in my dressing room while waiting for a call to tell yon about it. It is that I was not born' with a silver spoon in my mouth. ; Isn't that unusual? Most - women speak of the hardships of their earlier days with regret, but-1 am glad I had them; glad every hour of the day. When I see a little girl with a wistful face pressed against a confectioner's

twlndow I know just how she feels, and

phis feeling is good or me, and I try

JTo make It good for her. I always have (had enough to eat, but there were

times when on the road that I ate my

peals without pie and cake trimmings

chat I might save enough out of my imall salary to send home a certain

umount to my mother. '

When I am given the role of a girl who is on the outside of the window of alt the good things in life it 1b not all art that makes me do It well. It Is ; experience, and it takes experience like that to broaden the sympathies 'and make one's soul grow. One who began earning her living when sho was five, as I did, and has kept at it almost constantly ever since, has necessarily been compelled to pick up an education on the run, and I owe all I know to an unusually good memory. I have had little time to spend in . school, but my memory made every every day I spent there count for more than just one day. , My First Speaking Part. The first speaking part assigned me was committed to memory that same evening. I did not go to bed until I knew every word, and when I appeared for rehearsal next day with my lines "in my head,": I caused amazement. The manager was greatly interested when he learned how quickly I .bad learned them,, saying I bad shamed them all. Not only did I know my own lines, but I subsequently found, without trying, that I memorized the speaking parts of other members of the company. Once in the death scene in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," when I lay in Uncle Tom's arms, I found this mental trick served in good stead. I waB, as I said, dying. It was Uncle Tom's cue to say something very touching and sublime. "I have forgotten my lines," he said to me frantically. "What shall I do?" Lifting my arms up feebly, as if for a parting embrace, I drew his face down to mine and whispered his lines in his ear. On another occasion the child who had the leading part in a play being put on in Brooklyn was taken suddenly ill, and there was rapid skirmishing for a child to take her part. It fell to me. I had just one hour to learn the part, which was long, but I went on and played it without a rehearsal or a bobble. My mother taught all three, of us to read and write, and I managed to go

to school between seasons. As we grew

to better circumstances private teachers were employed to travel with us, and we have studied everywhere on earth; on the trains, at hotel dinners; at railroad restaurants, eating our sandwiches with our school books propped up in front of us; between acts on the stage, parsing and adding

and memorizing while changing our

costumes, and putting on many a make up with a mind divided between grease paint and the latitude and longitude of Georgia. When it was vacation time

for my elders and the happy children not on the stage It was school time for me, every vacation being spent in a

classroom, and when I was with Belas

co my make-up board in my dressing room, with ltB blackboard and books,

looked like a desk in a school house. No Room For Trash. My memory has remained good be

cause I have never loaded it with trashy literature. I read Hugo at the age of eleven, was familiar with Sir Walter Scott and had mastered Waldo

Tryne'e "In Tune With the Infinite

when a very young girl. Occasionally, l)ut very rarely, I read a modern novel as an appetizer, and I never read or

discuss the sensational stories found

in every day's newspapers. I have al

ways refused ,to listen to or repeat a questionable story or joke, and am

grateful that my days are always too full for gossip. I think perhaps to this refusal to clog my brain with the debris of indecency I owe largely the joy

of a memory that grows stronger ev pry day.

( I have tried consistently to think

By darkening your hair with f Vyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can Ull, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just damped a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small ttrand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared.

"1 want to -be a movie actress."

writes Caroline, from Memphis;

"where will I find some one to help me?" If you do not find that some one in your own self, then there Is no hope for you. Those who climb by the efforts of others, never climb high, and never stay up long. "I read an article about you la which you said every girl should save a little. How can she' save when she only gets a few dollars a week?" She can learn that happiness does not depend on possession and that half the things she wants are not necessary to her existence. I am speaking from experience. I saved money when I earned very, very little, and had others to support.

Becker, a well known clothing merchant of 17 East Sixth street, who lives at 2863 Winslow avenua, who Is known to his friends and business associates as a man of unquestioned honesty and integrity, was among several Cincinnatians to indorse Tanlas, the "Master Medicine," that is accomplishing such excellent results here. Mr. Becker said: "It gives me great pleasure to recommend Tanlac, as I have found it quite beneficial in my case. I used the medicine for rLeumatism and stomach trouble.
