Mn. Emma 8. Olds Is the state com
mander of Ohio , and with her the writer
toad an Interesting conversation regarding
the Ladles ot the Maccabees. In Ohio alone
there are 10,000 members and over 200 local
lodges called "hives. "
The symbol of the order Is the round
world , Illumined by the sun's rays ; upon
the world Is depleted a bechlvo with the
motto beneath , "Ad Astra Per Aspcra , " and
mbovo the initials of the order , "L. O. T. M. "
All white women between the age ot 1C
mod 70 , of sound bodily health and good
moral character arc eligible to social mem
bership , and such ladles between the age ot
16 and 62 are eligible to life benefit mem
bership. Besides the life benefit fund , there
4s a fund for sick and distressed me > nbcrs ,
Iso a permanent disability and old-age fund.
In a nutshell the Ladles of the Maccabees
looks after you while In health , provides for
ou ID sickness and old age , and when you
Eo It pays the amount of your mortuary
benefit to your tencflclarlw. The Initiation
( ce and annual dues are comparatively small.
Tha ceremony of Initiation Is an Interest-
'Ing ' ono , accompanied by much ritual , The
1 colors of the order are red , white and black ,
mnd each member wears a pin engraved with
the symbol ot the order.
Lady Aberdeen la ono of the prominent
members of the Ladles of the Maccabees und

Neckties of white chiffon trimmed across

There are spangled not gowns , bodices ,

Bordered fabrics , by the yard or Imported

Above the sound ot laughter and the clink
of glasses I at once recognized the vlollti-
llko timbre of Helena Modjcska's voice a , In
response to my knock at her drawing roctn
door one morning last week , the lovely Polish.

Mme. Modjcflka had Just arisen from her
jreakfast table. Indupd , my entrance wad
a signal for the dispersing of a merry party.
The actress was gowned in a robe ot
tlorm , but without a shadow of the heaviness
that Inexorable time usually Insists on IV-
slowing upon the woman jwwt her 40th year.

THE RACE FOR GLORY.
When I looked at Helena Modjcska , the
consummate artlrt , and noted the pathetic
tenderness of her nxllo , and the never-
llftlng sorrow in her ejcs , J wondered if
Indeed the race for glory wcro not a weary
strife , and the succcfs ot the great actress
seemed to mo for the first time to ehow It
self In Its true character a wlll-o'-the-wlsp ,
rcarco worth so noble a sacrifice.

HELEN MODJESKA. ( FROM A PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN1. NOW FIRST-jKEPRODUCEP. )
diaphanous black material , made in the pro.
vailing fashion , extremely simple and ele
gant , fitting her form closely and relieved
here and there with a garniture ot steel and
rhlncs tones.
If a woman be as old as she looks , Mnfo.
Modjcska in her sumptuous apartment at the
New Netherland hotel the other morning
was certainly not a day over five and thirty.
Tall and lltbe , with the figure of a girl
ot 18 , slender but cot thin , made up of de
licious curves , Mme. Modjeska's flguro gives
no suggestion of the word so hareb to the
ear of the actrees "matronly. "
It Is girll&h , poetic In its rccd-llko undula-
APRIL BRIDES.
But this Is what Hclcni Modjeska says a
that fickle goddess who has been her friend
and who is known as Success :
"Success , success , who can define It ?
cannot even admit that I know It , for al
though I have for many years worships
at the shrine ot art until I have eatlsfle-
myself , I shall never know success , an
as yet I have never been content with m
own performance. I am always dlsappolntc
In myself , I am always short ot m
Ideals. "
"Ybu represent success In a very loft
form to the public , " I said , "and ever
woman la anxious to know how you hav
made of yourself the eminent artist th
whole world acknowledges you to bo. Hd
It < been by talent , which God alone can b <
stow , or study , which Is said to be the syn
onym of genius , or is there a secret at
that leads alone to glory , and that you , an
perhap3 one or two other women of the cer
tury hove been gifted with , or have learne
or divined ?
"Tho world Is overflowing with wome
who have made failures , who represent dc
feat in its most tragic , despairing and , alac
sometimes almost grotesque form. Th
coming race of women want to know hoi
to avoid failure. They are full of life an
enthusiasm and hope. They turn aside froi
the spectacle of disappointment which I
everywhere , and. with the glorious courag
of youth , they flx their eyca and their am
btttons on the women who , star-like , hav
attained glorious heights. They all hone
and love you , most of 'them can never KC
nearer to you than the other side of th
great dlvldo which separates the actrea
from her audience. They are eager to knoi
how you reached Olympian pinnacle. "
"You want to know how I became a sue
ccssful artist ? " said Modjcska , once agal
Siey iliK iKr VA' i1' ' - ' vtv ? " -f-f " rft. . . . . ,
turning that lovely nmllo upon me. "And
you expect me to ray It was by study-
hard study and Spartan perseverance. Thla
! ti what > ou expect mo to say. 1 am euro
of It. "
"Yes , " I replied with enthusiasm. That lo
It. Tell us just how you work. All about the
terrible feats > ou must have to accomplish
In memorizing. I have read how you study
constantly , end carry your line's about with
you , day and night , wherever ) ou go. "
NEVER STUDIED HARD.
"Now I Ah ill disappoint you , " tnd Mme.
Modjcska's voice was as swcel as the notes
of the stringed Instrument It resembles.
"I have never studied hard at all. Accord-
Ins ; to the common acceptation , I am no stu
dent , I do not deserve praise for application
or for hard work ; I do not merit It at all.
"The longest role I have ever memorized
was In Polish a five-act play in which I wait
upcii the stage nearly all ot the time. I was
dead-letter perfect In It at tbo end ot two
days.
"Of course , In English It takes mo a little
longer , but I have never spent a week In the
study ot any cno role during my entire
career.
"When It comes to studying the character
I am to i > lay ah , there , Indeed , perhaps I
deserve to be called a faithful worker.
" 1 do not konw by Just what proceescs 1
learn , or fitrlve to learn , to bo the woman I
am to play , but just as soon as I decide to
act a new character I try to become that
woman.
"I learn the lines first , but they are com
paratively nothing. My task Is to learn to
feel the woraon who would speak these lines.
The words are the work of another ; my part
must bo to sink Helen Modjeska's person
ality Into that of the woman who would
spontcucously and naturally , under the cir
cumstances Indicated In the play , speak
these lines which already I have acquired.
If I cannot feel that under these conditions
this woman's words would spontaneously
come to me , I know I am far away from
what my Impersonation must grow to be.
"For this ceasco It Is impor-slblo for mete
to play a part which I ccnnot learn to sym
pathize with. I was years and years In
learning to bo able to nlay 'Lady Macbeth. '
I could not feel her. I could not pctslbly
have any sympathy for her. She repelled mo.
I wanted to run away from her , and I re
fused , while I was In that state concerning
her , to attempt to Impersonate the charac
ter.
CHARACTER OF PORTIA.
"On the other hand , tnke Por'tla ' for
example. I loved her frorn the first. I felt
that she was a woman of extraordinary
sweetness , of brilliant wit , splendid gen
erosity , feminine piquancy and great tntel-
loctuul power. She belonged to a century
noted for Its brllliint women a veritable
golden ago of fcmlnlno mentality.
"Portia was undoubtedly a woman of dis
tinguished social position , with the charm
ing , easy mannc : of high-breeding and per
fect knowloJgo of the \\orld. She was un
doubtedly a linguist. AH the women of
wealth and position of that day were su
perbly educated , and It was quite common
for them to speak flvo or six languages
fluently.
"When I was preparing to become Portia ,
I read everything I could find In French ,
Italian , Polish and English concerning the
penlod In which she lived. I threw my whole
personality , so far as I could , back Into that
time. I absorbed all the history , romance
and poetry of the period. I became familiar ,
geographically , with the Italian towns In
which she dwelt. I studied the nmnnciB , I
\\oro the dress , I familiarized myself with
the. ethics of the time and people until I
was saturated with the atmosphere of my
beautiful heroine. Finally , I began tortullze
to mysqlf the component farts of tliU young
and lovely woman of marvelous speech and
extraordinary sagacity.
"I discoveud : tl.at just as today many
women are legally well InformeJ , so in a
century which closely resembles our own
In various lines , it would' not have been at
all titrango for a young woman of Portia's
caliber to be legully learned. Gradually 1
felt the colon of the time in which Portia
lived , the atmosphere of the woman herself ,
the noble love which makes her so adorable ,
'tho charming daintiness and sweetness ol
her innocent gayety , when this Portia
woman ot 300 years ago had dominated the
nineteenth century. Helena Modjeska , I fell
that I had caught herIntellectually. . Ther
it became my delightful task to make hei
physically as lovely a picture us I posi'lbl )
could. I do not know bow I succeeJcd , bul
fiom the very beginning I have tried to mak <
mji other eelvce harmonious. In fast , I be
HOVB the key to my whole existence is mj
dependence ! upon harmony.
TEMPERAMENT OF THE ARTIST.
"As a little child , I could not bear a dts
cord not a discord alone in music , but li
anything. It colors were discordant , I hatei
to look upon them. I wanted everything li
our homo harmonious , and as a tiny llttl
girl , this peculiar distaste for anything ou
of tune was looked upcn merely as an ah
surd Idiosyncrasy. As I grew older , m ;
mother recognized that this eo-called eccen
trlclty was one I could not conquer. Cb
aw in me the temperament of the artist
In all my week I feel there must bo perfcc
harmony. A Portia must have the eoul ot i
Portia. She must have the figure of a Portia
and above all eho must have the voice of <
Portia. A Portia in her wonderful speed
'the quality of mercy' with the voice of i
Lady Macbeth and I see that you smile , bu
Indeed I have beard Juliets with voices e
mature and heavy that they were only suit
able for the old-fashioned tragedienne in he
most blood-curdling declamations would b
out of harmony , and , In studying Uila role ,
should make an especial pclnt of having m
voice the right age , the right quality , In fac
the very reflection of the character of tt
woman. "
"Now , If you ask mowhat are the at
tributes that make a. successful actress ,
must tell you that I am altogether ignorant
and also I am unable to reconcile myself t
the popular test of success , which repre
sents dollars and cent's alone. Success ap
pears also to me to depend eo much upoi
advertising tbat It can no longer be eald t
be the just results of artistic merit. Ther
are many much-advertised women who deserve
servo all the success that they have attained
but I could name to you others who have , li
an eminent degree , the artistic temperament
who are delicate , refined , poetic , exquisite
and yet who never reach success. If yoi
ask why I munt say candidly , because the ;
have not been advertised.
"Take , for example , Annie Russell. Then
Is , In my opinion , no woman more hlghlj
endowed as an artist than she. In her Im
personation ot Elaine she was exquisite al
most 'beyond belief. Certainly no other sucl
creation has been seen ot equal delicacy ani
beauty In the lost twenty years , to mj
knowledge. Yet , where Is ( Miss Annie Russell -
sell today ? Not , certainly , where she shoult
be. I do not wish to be a cynic , but the trut
artist must find compensation In the Joy ol
a life devoted to so glorious a master. 0
cannot say to the young women that patience
and perseverance will bring their Just re
ward In the dramatic profession , because II
would not bo true. With the temperament , c
real Jjve of art , a willingness to devote one's
llfo to the work and a good press agent
there Is hope , but without the press agent In
these day * , I honestly believe the chance *
are indifferent for the success of the mosi
talented girl or woman. You will perhapi
ask If I believe my own success was de
pendent upon advertising , and here again 1
must reply that I do not admit that I havi
really atalncd conspicuous acknowledgmen
of whatever talent I may possess , and , nftei
all , what is fame ? Surely it Is not money
If it were , compared to some ot the open
bouffe artists I should he voted a failure
If it Is the love and applause of the public
It Is but transient Indeed , for nothing is si
ephemeral as the favor of the public , espe
clally of the American public. To havi
served a glorious master with all tbo ardo ;
and love ot one's nature , not for the applausi
of the world , hut because devoutly I worshli
at the shrine of my art this is happiness
Is it success ?
"I think , " said Mrae. Modjcska. as she ros <
and seated herself at her desk , "that Sudcr
man has summed it all up in these word
which I shall write for you. " And In he
sonorous , vibrant tones she read the word
she had just written : "Art and life are on
to me. "

Catarrh of madder.
( My disease was ca
tarrh ot the uretlia and
bladder. My symptoms
were tbo same as those
given In tha Family
Physician No. 2. I
got a ibottlo of Po-ru-
na and began taking It. (
and In a few days I
was relieved and could
sleep and rest all night.
I think that Pe-ru-na is
a valuable remedy. I Mr. Samuel
had tried other highly Sanders ,
recommended m o d 1- Blythodale , Mo.
clnes , but they did mo no good. My physi

what Pe-ru-na has done for mo.
