Mrs. Winter says: , Why not Jeave the work of Amer . .vnnlsation -to specially trained and paid social workers?

We can't turn our main affair, wholly over to 4ny group, i They are . the. -business of all of us. The citizen and the official must keep-pace, or the work becames mechanical.

Qrc3uJEdiiS3 , Requirements of Stage Career Little maid Vnd buxom matrons, suffering from overnourished germs of queer ideas about the stage, hark ye to this bit of philosophic chatter from the electrified pen of Jane Dixon, one of New York' cleverest writers: . : "Too jnany girls and women, hav ing failed elsewhere, bring their In efficiencies to the stage door, think ing to drown their sorrows or their disappointments m the rouge pot. They look upon the stage as a sort of gilded carriage in which they may ride to the surface pleasures of existence. The theater to them spejls license, a free and open coun try where they may behave as they never dared behave in the more commonplace lanes of conventional Society. Not long ago I had the good fortune-to chat with the generalissimo of modern stagecraft, David Belasco, on this very subject of the stage as a career for women. "We are desperately in need of young men and women who can carve out for themselves a career of brilliancy on the stage," ay Mr. BelascO. ,rEvery day I deplore the lack of materia) for the making of really great artists. The young wo man of today who cn prove her mettle, who can show any marked ability at portraying the great trage dies or even the little comedies of life, is destined to rise comet-wise to take heT place among the stars. "Do you mean there is a falling off in applicants . for stage honors?" I asked, wondering if the lure of the spotlight bad indeed tost its luster. "Mercy,' no!" came the explosive response. "I have hundred of them every day from every manner of home, every walk of the world. They come to me with their great hungry eyes (taring but as if lite itself hung on rriy decision. A little chat, a short sounding of their depths, "and in stinctly I feel whether or not they are worth the time and effort that must be given to trairining. One in, a hundred, a thousand, is so qual ified. And I always hesitate to turn an unknown away for fear she may be that one. "My advice to the young lady seeking a stage career is -to turn aside for the moment and ask her self a few practical questions indis pensable to even t liraitedMKcess. For example: "Am I industrious? Am I willing to put aside pleasure, temporarily at least, in the pursuit of stags learning? Will I be tireless, work ing day arid night if need be to achieve thy purpose? - . "Have I fortitude? Can I stand firm binder keen disappointments I am bound to encounter? Can I en dure the unpleasantriet of today for the progress I am sure to make to morrow? - "Hive I an honest desire to do right without being a prude? Can I ftmimJnd the respect of others? Do I respect myself? AmI capable of faking a broad arid liberal view of the peculiar and unconventional conditions which will surround me? "Have I sufficient reason for be lieving I possess those talents which fit me for stage endeavor? What have I done or what can I do to add to the sum total of theatrical excellence? What can I contribute to the true and; worthy portraiture of human' experience? "If she can answer all of these questions, answer them honestly and to her own liking, she might venture a stage career with reasonable as surance of reaching the .far goal she has set for herself. , "Nevertheless, I am of the opinion if girls or young, A-omen realized the extent of the demands to be placed upon them mentally, morally and physically, the number of stage recruits -would be cut in. half,, even to a fourth part of Its present to tal." . . . Class distinction is checked at the stage door. Factory, shop, turbulent tenement ha been a more fertile re cruiting ground for the stage than the society drawing room. The straggler, for the most part, is an early graduate from the rich school of experience, and experience is the mirror wherein we reflect the great truths of life. Any girl who expect to mount to stardom on the wings of a beautiful A 'Miss Br o adway v Howl Do You Look to Modest ; Outsiders ? By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. ' Her ' bare shoulder iope 'down to wisp of silk whjch should have felt obliged i' rise up and greet the vision long before the terrified eye traveled down to meet it . The complacent immodesty of her nakedness is topped by a mag nificent head of elaborately waved and puffed and netted hair with curls and fluffy locks adding a lure to the sophisticated charm of the coiffure, , ; Her eyebrows are plucked ' and penciled into t hard line. Her lashe are. beaded and Ihe eye under them' arc at once cal culating and yielding, alluring and cold. They are sordid and disillu sioned. Hern nose is a weak little jelly without character or poise. " Her lib are a carmine blot. Of whom do I speak, you ask? Of "Miss-Broadway" as seen by a young artist who ha come to us from a southern countrv and wHn yfinds in our "Pallid North" a type of womanhood to dazzle and alarm him. He has not mad her beauti ful, but ripellant. There is no sug gestion iOf charm or loveableness to the girl the astonished artist has drawn. It does not seem possible (hat this siren should ever be wife, mother or homemaker. Of the ideals of womanhood as they have been cherished through the ages, she can know nothing. She is froth and ex citement, fever and weariness. She is today. She is Jazz. And the worst of it, that in the caricature of femininity which the young artist has painted there is a modicum of truth. l am sadly tempted to say, not that there is a little, but that there Is much truth. But for the sake of themany fine, sweet old-fashioned girls who are still with us. I refrain. The trouble is that the flaunting siren, Miss Jazz a la 1920, shows. She is conspicuous. She stands out against the background of her more modest, quiet sisters. And the world takes its opinions from wW&t it see in the foreground of life, not from what it would have to go pry ing about in the, dark to discover. It Isn't fair that the caricatures of true femininity which go parading up and down the avenues of every large city should be" in evidence: ior, pass themselves off as typical American women, while the homemaker, the office worker, the seriou minded girl is at a desk or abloom or a pi ano or an ironing board. , Seeing' believing. The girl on the avenue la there to be -seen. The worker, i bending over her task; and that doesn't take her but into the afternoon' itream oi traffic, v : Over and over again, every day, I see Mis Jazz...; ,. , i She wear the new French slip pers; short of vamp and tied with elaborate ribbons.

Above it a gay little dolman of quirrel eddies out And some where between a tiny brocade hat pulled down over flashing eyes is a face. A paragraph for the face: It is penct lied, of eye and carmined of lips. The chin is whitened to match the nose. But on the tip of the .hin there's a daub of red to match the evenly applied, drug store foses of the cheeks. That fact istiot natural, and it has no expression other than a challenge for attention and a simpering plea for admiration. ' ' Why do you do it, girls? - You all took alike and you all look silly. You aren't sufficiently individual or differentiated irom one another to win real .admiration. You have traded an appearance of character and sweetness and charm for a cos metic made-up ordinary challeng ing look. - Why? Once the term "painted lady" was one from which a respectablewo man would shudder away. Now face and figure is due for a damaging fall unless she is prepared to back that beauty with consistent study, thought and intelligent effort. Phys ical attractiveness is no criterion of success. Some of ourmdst brilliant artist have been ugly ducklings. Some of our most complete failures have been great beauties. The stage requires something , more than a masque. It demands a mind behind "masque, and a heart big enough and brave enough to weather any storm. f o roe the stage has ' always seemed a great gamble.
