BY DOROTHY DIX. A8 IT SEEMS TO BE— The girl who wants to go on the stage speaks: | “Oh, I'm just crazy to go on thé! stage, but my parents won't let me. They just keep me tied down at{ home where there’s nothing more ycit-. ing to do“than go to parties, and dinners, and dances, and automo- bile rides, and father says I ought to be thankfull that he's able to take care o fme and protect ‘me from the hardships of life.” “Do you hear that?” The hard- ships of life, when I am. talking about going on the stage, not go- ing out as a stenographer, or a clerk, or somebody that has to work. Why, being ‘an_actress isn't work. It's just fun. It's just having the best time on carth and getting paid for it. “It's wearing the clothes, and having people stare at| you | whevere you go and say, 'S-s-h, _that's aude Adams, or Mary Nash, or*Janet Beecher,' or whoever you are, in a way that makes the little prickles of delight g0, up and down your spine. nd it's having midnight sup- pers with the gayest and wittiest people, and then rolling home in your limousine, -and. going out to vour grand countri place on Long Island fo rthe week-ends, where you have wonderful Russian wolf hounds that you have your pictures taken wllgh and put in all the magazines. ‘Al that you have to do when vou are an actress is just to come out on the stage in the most be-au-ti-ful glothe.s, and move arolnd, and talk just like you would if you were in your own drawing room—that is, of course, if you are playing a socicty play, you krow, jost like Ethel Bar- rymore does. And, of course, if it's a tragedy, you just scream in the right places, but that's easy enough, 00, nicest o “I'm sure nobody could make more of a row than I do when I get mad. And for that you get all sorts of money, and your name in the papers all the time, and people applaud you until they split their gloves. That's Vlh'lt makes’being an actress so easy. “And it's so easy to get to be an actress. I know, because I've read all about it a thousand times. \Fu just el in {ourself that you ar® a at you want to go on the stage, and you go to New York and go to a manager, and he looks {ou over and says, ‘I'm afraid I'll ave to give you a small part to start with,' and he gives you a tiny role. “Maybe you only carry a spear in the back row of the chorus or play the part of a maid_and hand the her- oine her cloak, but Mr. Belasco is in the audience, and he sees what stu- pendous talent you've got, and as soon as the play is over he is waiting for you and he offers you a contract at $1,000 a wtk. “I know I'd make a great success on the stage, because people always applaud at the church fair when I recite, ‘Lit-tul Ma-a-bel with her face against the window pa-a-d-ne.’ And I think my father and mother are real mean not to let me be an actress. It's such an easy and gay life” ¢ Timely Fashion Hint By GARRETT P. SERVISS. { | | harder. In New Jersey the villages and little cities are making ordinance: | against cats, and in Massachusetts the State Board of Agriculture has pub lished a corfdemnatory brochure about cats, written by the state ornitholo- gist. The chief complaint is that the cat is an incorrigible enemy of birds. When a cat gets out of doors its eye immediately seeks a bird. 1f one comes within reach of 'its ' spring it cannot resist the tempta- tion to seize and kill the winged crea- ture. It is nat often, it is not even usual, that the killing is done for the sake of food; it is done through mere | blood-thirst, Cats like to kill—when they run no danger to themselves in the operation, for they are essentially cowards. As the Massachusetts ornithologist intimates, cats are “sportsmen.” This is a cutting sarcasm. Like the man who tucks a double-barrelled gun un- der his arm and goes out in the dewy morning .to enjoy the thrill of seeing the feathers fly at the impact of his load ‘of shot, the cat stalks a robin and takes an ecstatic pleasure in strik- ing it dead. Tf it does not kill its vic- tim at the first blow of its sharp claws, it will torment the wounded bird to death, and then carry it about with the air of a conqueror; but the 4 6nly appetite it seeks to satisfy is the ( lust of murder. Some cats are more murderous than | other cats, but it is alleged—and; I be- i lieve, correctly—that no cat can be cured altogether of the desire to kill for the sake of killing, and birds are its pet victims. It is also alleged— and again, ! believe, with justice— that cats are master hypocrites and the greatest of egoists. They haven’t a shade of the self-sacrificing devo- tion of a dog. . A cat as big and powerful as a New- foundland dog would be a peril to children and even to‘grown persons. It is man’s friend because it knows it is not strong enough to be his ene- my. The quality of mercy is not in the cat's make-up. No animal which has an instinctive love’of worrying and tormenting a weaker creature and a crippléd one at that is. capable of moral education. The way of a cat with a mouse is sufficient to awaken sympathy even for that pest of the | pantry. 3 As to the pretended usefuliess of cats as destroyers of rats, the Massa- chusetts indictment is too moderate in alleging that not more than one cat in three ever kills a rat. It is the habit of cats to keep out of the way of rats. A rat is a mear animal, but a terrible fighter when cornered, and cats do not attack fighters. As to mice, my own experience is that a house cat will not even try to exter- . minate them. I rather suspect that she likes to see them about, the house being her game preserve. If a rub- ber ball could squeal she would as soon worry that as worry a mouse. As soon as her victim ceases to give evidences of suffering she lets it alone. 2 A The Massachusetts ornithologist avers that the public has no concep- tion of the enormous number of stray, unowned, half-wild cats that roam the woods, the fields, and the neighbor- hood houses, barns and villages at . — In this gown a combi- silver lace is used, the AS IT REALLY IS— The astress, reading notices of her new play, speaks: The way of the cat is becuming‘ © | druggist for | full qer will want me. “Well, and so I have arrived at last, but I have come by such a hard jour- ney that I wonder if the goal is worth the price I have paid to reach it!

We have got rid of the native wildcat, he says, and in its place we have introduced and spread broadcast a far more destructive animal, coddled in our homes, and made a companion for our children, to whom it undoubt- edly often brings unexplained disease and death. g If the owners of favorite cats could know all that those sly and treacherous animals often do at night, they would.almost as soon nourish serpents in the household.

One of the sources through which he population of wandering cats is naintained and increased is the habit of leaving house cats unguarded and incared for during summer absences. [hé animal wears only a veneer of :ivilization at any time, and on the least temptation it returns to a state of semi-wildness. Then it becomes jmore destructive to birds and other relatively inoffensive forms of wild life than any other creature. The number of cats inithe United States has beéen estimated: by Mr. Frank M. Chapman to be at least 25,- 000,000, and possibly 50,000,000. The uncertainty arises both from the fact that-no cat census has gver been taken, and from the absence of any basis other than guess work for cal- culating the number of stray cafs in- habiting barns, outbuildings, wodts and fields, and owing no allegiance to anybody. These outlaws have natural enemies, }among which are reckoned real wild- cats (now few in number), dogs, foxes, wolves, raccoons and golden eagles. The ?rey of the wandering cats consists of birds,"rabbits, grouse, quail, shrews, frogs and toads. Dr. A. K. Fisher, of the United States geological survey, estimates that cats annually kill 3,500,000 birds in the state of New York alone.
