SQUARE DEALING Some Plain Worda from Clement Scott About Life Behind the Scenes. Never before in the history of the unemployed has the stage door been besieged by so many applicants from all professions and grades in life as this season, when so many girls, hitherto supported by fathers and brothers, are obliged to seek employment, and when professional women and crafts-women cannot find opportunities for self-support in their own chosen fields of, work. Trained nurses and professional cooks, teachers of long service, together with the helpless untrained daughters of wealth, come together to the agencies and theaters, seeking histrionic honor without considering the fact that they i have neither histrionic talents, beauty, nor youth to recommend them to favor in an already overcrowded profession. Mr. Clement Scott's experiences with the intelligent maidens of Girton and Newton, reverend mothers of convents and parochial with shop girls, curates' daughters, milliners' apprentices, and the inevitable English governess, seem pertinent, therefore, to be given to the stage-struck aspirants in America just at this time.

"If you ask Mr. Scott writes, "if I would recommend the stage as a profession and a career for the ambitious amateur, I should reply most decidedly no. By amateur, I mean a girl whose parents have nothing and never had anything to do with the stage. The children of actors and actresses are exceptions. They may be left safely! to follow their own inclinations, which, in nine cases out of ten, directs them to the stage.

They have lived in the atmosphere of the theater all their They have been, as Robertson says, "nursed on rose pink and cradled in properties. They never came to any harm. They have had the dramatic measles and whooping cough; they have been vaccinated out of the rouge pot; they have to learn nothing when they come to years of discretion; they are always wide awake. Make the girls students or governesses, or marry them to rich men; give independence. They will come back to the CLOTHIERS ifjlizj to see the TEACHERS and PATRONS a Full Line of the Season's Styles in all grades, with prices We have to suit the hard limes.

STYLES certainly could not be newer. PRICES certainly could not be lower. boys barristers or soldiers, or doctors; depend upon it they will come back to the stage door like prodigals. "But with such as these I am not dealing; I am dealing with the amateurs. "First, then, the stage is overcrowded with novices.

Actresses of great experience and admitted talent are at this moment breaking their hearts for want of employment Remember what a cruel profession it is. The very instant that a girl loses her good looks, or that with ripened experience comes advancing age, the actress is virtually put on the shell The greedy prefers beauty to intellect The lovely brainless woman gets a better chance than one who is brimming over with talent, but, alas, is getting passe. It you want to see the struggles and despair of the actress out of work go any day into one of the dramatic agencies and observe for yourself wnat the bitterness of disappointment is. A procession of unemployed actresses of London would reach from St. Paul's to Charing Cross.

"There is, beside, no profession in which a girl is exposed to such insidious and hidden dangers as that of the stage. The modesty that is the brightest jewel in a woman's crown must be severely tested in this fire. To begin, with, a girl who has been brought up in refinement must experience a bit of a shock when she is compelled to share a dressing room every night not with one chosen girl companion, but with several of whose habits and language she must be unfamiliar. Of course, this is a shock to modesty, but of necessity the shock becomes less every day. The young actress must grin and War it She becomes dull and poor child.

It is all very well to say. that the idle and frivolous conversation that she hears goes in at one ear and out at the other. But it neither goes in nor comes but without imperilling modesty and innocence. The young actress cannot afford to be a prude. Her royal path to progress and success is not smoothed by reticence and self-respect She, would not get on by making a fool of herself.

She must not be offended if the leading man raps at her dressing room door and says: 'Are you 'Well, put something on, for I want to talk to you about All this, no doubt, is very harmless; but if the girl has no more than this to contend against she is very lucky. "The man who has lost caste is the great danger in the path of the girl who has lost the initial sense of modesty. No girl, however stage struck, will find her ideal of a noble life behind the curtaio of a theater." N.
