tbe Woman
She is a Lincoln woman. She
doesn't necessarily believe In woman's
rights, but she has ideas of her own.
Being at the head of a household of
generous proportions she has numerous
problems confronting her daily. Some
of the solutions are ingenious.
One evening this week the grocer's
boy brought a number of packages to
her door. In the dusk he gave her a
bad quarter of a dollar in making
change. The next morning she called
on the grocer in person.
"I want you to give me a good quar
ter for thl3 bad one your delivery boy
left me last night," said she.
The grocer looked very Innocent and
responded naively:
"We don't know that we gave you
that piece of money. We can't give
you a good one for It."
She turned about, said nothing but
thought much.
That evening shortly after dusk she
called the grocer.
"Please send me half a dollar's
worth of sugar," she ordered, giving
her name and number In sweet, inno
cent tones.
The boy arrived shortly after with
the order. It was. rather dark and.he.
didn't notice that one of the two quar
ters she handed him was the bad one
he had given her the evening before.
She is even.
The grocer has lost a customer.

the lights, the flowers, the eager, ex
pectant audience, that one can not tear
themselves away.
"We have a great deal of trouble try
ing to get dressed; the dressing rooms
are always small and there are so many
of us, and some of us are not at all
congenial. There Is such a mixture,
you know. We usually divide off in
groups of three or four. There is keen
rivalry between all of us If, for In
stance, one girl stands nearer the front
than the others, she Is a target for all
the girls In the back they Immediately
hate her."
"The temptations are bad, and as
much as I love It, I would advise any
girl to stay at home. It is the best
place for her. Few actresses ever ac
quire fame, and. If they do, few ac
tresses are pure, noble women.
"A chorus girl practically lives In
her trunk; they move around so much.
I think they have better health than
most girls; they eat at so many dif
ferent places. They are never religious,
and never think of going to church.
Once in a while we have a good Catho
lic girl In our chorus, but not often.
None of the girls get lonesome; there
Is too much to occupy her thoughts.
Some times the girls meet men, whom
they leave the stage for aad marry.
"The girls are all the way from six
teen to twenty-five years old; the av
erage age of the chorus girl is nine
teen. - The prettier a chorus girl Is the
better, In fact, only the best looking
girls are chosen. The girls who leave
the chorus to be married Invariably re
turn again. It holds them; they can
not live without It. They save no
money; they usually spend it foolishly,
but then they are happy and contented
It Is the life they have chosen, and
they make the best of It always."
Cheerful Tess: "So, Mr. Orossum
really proposed to you?" Jess "Yes.
While we were strolling In the ceme
tery we came to their family lot. and
he asked me how I'd like to be burled
there some day, with his name on the
stone above me." Philadelphia Press.

fellow, my wife married Jokm Russia

"A chorus Is made up of girls from
all parts of the world," said a chorus
girl to a Courier representative the
other day. "They may be French girls
from Paris, they may be graduates
from Smith college, or they may be
girls who have never gone to school a
day In their lives. A girl must neces
sarily have a good voice, and some de
gree of good looks to sing in a chorus.
Some of the girls have had the best
of voice culture and some do not know
one note from the other. The average
chorus girl Is paid from 18 to 25 a
week; never any less. Of course this
Includes transportation, but they have
to pay their own hotel bills. There are
few restrictions; they can go to any
hotel they please, providing it Is re
spectable. If a chorus girl gets Into
bad company and the manager finds It
out, they are usually dismissed, and
If a chorus girl misses her cue, they are
fined heavily. One was late last even
ing, and she was fined $4. Some of the
girls who look very ordinary In every
day life, make up beautifully for the
stage. Under the glare of subdued
lights and dresses In becoming colors,
they look like beauties; but see them
next morning, about seven o'clock, and
your Ideal Is completely shattered.
The chorus girl, generally, has no
ambition higher than to be a chorus
girl. Of course now and then one will
find a few who asnlre to soubrette
woes, or to be a prima donna, but It Is
very seldom.
"Although I have only been on the
stage a year, I am completely
charmed with It The life Is hard, and
we are all looked down upon, and "
shunned by good society, still I corld
never leave It There is something t -
