I've jpent my money on stage clothes. I do that out of compliment to the| dies. The men don’t care what I wear, but the women expect mo to how them the very latest, to wear my hair a la mode, let them see jewels, nd all that sort of thing, and I always try not to disappoint them. “Dressing well {s a business with you?” N-no, hardly that, but it has become a habit with me, J can't afford o dress badly, that’s the truth of it. I should like to go out occasionally ithout bothering to powder my nose, but if I did people would soon begin Ralking about me.” “ k “Then, being a professional beauty has its penalties?” “Yes, {f you choose to look at it in that way. But it also hes its ad- Wwantages. It keeps a woman from letting herself down,o to speak, and Ya a thing no woman, whether she’s on the stage or not, can ever af- to do.” “Some of us can,” contradicted sister. “I could walk from here to the y with a shiny nose without a soul noticing it.” : a a a a a a. s OPSN’T be’ng constantly in the public eye get to be a dit of a bore at times?” “Only out of town, where people sometimes make re- marks about me right in my ear as if I were deaf,” said Miss “Here in New York tney take me for granted.

How could you ask such a question?” “Tt wasn't easy,” I apologized, “but you were speaking a moment ago of the letters you get from women who want you to tell them how to be beautiful.” “Teil ‘him about the Indy with the double chin,” suggested sister, com- ing to the rescue, “Yes, that was funny,” laughed Miss Russell. “She wrote, from down South somewhere, that a double chin was robbing her of her husband's love. ‘He used to blow tobacco smoke in my fave,’ she informed me, ‘but he doesn't any more, and I fear that his love is wearing off.’ ive gota trunkful of letters that Iam going to make into a book one of these days.” “It will have to be an expurgated edition,” gaid sister. “Say, rather, a parlor edition.” a cd rd * Rd a wt JSS RUSSELL is enthusiastic over the new songs she will sing at Prootor's Twenty-third Street Theatre, where she is to remain for ten weeks. She hummed the chorus of one of them, “If a Girl Like You” (a musical interlude does take the ragged edge off an “interview!"’) and you'll like it, I’m sure. “‘Napoll’ is the name of another that I think will go well,” ef2 said. “Every one of my songs tells a little story. A song must have a story to find its way into the public’s heart. I shall also give some of 1)’ old songs, ‘Evening Star’ for one, and perhaps ‘Say to Him,’ from ‘The Grand Duchess,’ which has always been a favorite of mine." “Do you ever gat tired of singing songs? I used to wonder sometimes when you were at Weber & Fields’s.”” “T never got tired of a good song, but some of the stuff I had to sing * there used to make me feel like committing murder. I will change my songs from week to week at Proctor’s, and I may act in a little sketch later on." “There you go again!” exclaimed sister. “Always wanting to ac!
