'1173 A short time since I was one of n party Invited liy a New Yerk manager, j Mr. A. 'M. Palmer, te make the trip te t "Washington with his cemjiany and wh ile the performance of a play which ha been running nil the season at the Madien-qtiare Theatre, New Yerk ("Jim, the Penman"), for the benetit of ' the Actors' Fund of America. The Act or' Fund was founded tive year' age. Mr. Albert M. Palmer, of the Madion Madien squarc Theatre, being it mnt active. promoter, anil is the tirt sttn-.tnntl.il . effort of actor and manager te jirex ide they were se much mere broadly cult! nermanent resources from which undated and generally letter re.ul The draw for mutual benetit, aid in sickness. protection In old age, and strength and encouragement during the day of health und vigor. Highly a individual actor; and actrese haxe been esteemed, the) had no organization of national dignity or Importance, and uncertain source el mutual help, sympathy and encourage ment, and the Actors' Fund is intended te supply all of thee. Already it has n capital fund of $.e,(0O, and it "is in con templatien te net only provide certain aid In case of sickness or dis.ibllty, but te provide a line permanent building in the city of New Yerk, which shall be an i educational institute, a club-heu-e, and a ' home worthy of a imrstilt which de-1 mantis suju'rier intellectual qualities and ' is lieginning te take its place a one el I the noblest of the professions. I ThisJ why the Ai ters' Fund has n nxtfenal importance, and this Is parti) why the Invitation for this special jier jier fermancc came from the President of the United States, the memliers of the Cabi net and chief officer of the government. The train consisted of special cars, and taking in, at the first glance, the person who made up the assemblage and the prevision for their comfort, one could but arrive at the conclusion that a va-t advance had taken place in habits, customs and public opin ion, since the time when the "players," the "best" the city did afford, were over taken en their way te the court of Den mark, and given ever te old I'nleniu for care and entertainment. The mod ern "manager" is no jduvcr In this ui-e lie was the ten of an old and re-pecteil clergyman w he has occupied one pulpit for upward Jef thirty years. His young yen and daughter were both with him, and his grief was that his wife could net accompany him because of indisposition, which would have prevented the whole expedition, had net the publicity ren dered this impossible. The belle of the party was a young married lady, an aitress, whee husband, an actor, Is he: devoted sluxe, anil of the ether lad) members of the cenipan) one has earned her title te "Queen," and another is n grandmother, yet still a tine actress and lecegnied anywhere and ever) where .i n true ladx. It was curious te see these jieeple. whom the public generally only see upon tlie mimic weild of the Mage "doing the loinmen things, uctuated by the erdinar) motives, and supplied with as complete nn outfit of the utial joys, t-orrews delights and anxieties as the most eh ctire individual among us, Itwasile.u ant, also, te ce that in the national capital they were received with due honor, that beautiful Mower crowded I heir table, that senators and their wie were eager te sec and greet them, and that "actress" no longer Meed in the way among the intelligent and educated of honor mid Mxi.il distinction. Up te within a very short time the elety of our large cities lias been far behind Europe, ami ji.irticnl.irly Londen, In this resjiect. In this latter city lhave een n duchess wait en the edge of a crowd for a chance te speak te Miss Genevieve Ward, the actress, nt an even ing reception; while sin li women asMis Kendal, actiess and wife of manager, art icceived into the finest house In Londen ThK has net heretofore been se in this i euntry, and it ha lieen one of the great est drawbacks te the entrain e into the piofesen of young women of education mid refinement, lint this social ban i vriadually and very sensibly being re moved. The dramatic profession is one ( of the few that elfeis equal chances te women with men. It demand superior Intelligence; it calls for the exercie of lilgli Intellectual qualities- it require the possession or the simulation of culture and refinement If it presents tempta tien te these xv he are assailable, mi much mere reason why society nnd all geed women should threw around the subjects of them all the guard which self-respei t association, countenance and fellowship can c emmand. Much that wc call teinji union only assails the weak and vain, net . the strong, or these Inspired by a worthy ' purpose. It is Infinitely better, therefore, . that the women of the stage should be' Iran n from the be-t, net the poorest xiurtcs: that they should be educated,! intelligent, self-reliant, net the victims of a vulgar desire for di-play and admira-1 lien. It Is rather remarkable that the cen tral figure of Washington society should lie a young girl, whose previous life, while charged with some grave responsi bilities, anil experiences, hud been as far removed as jiessiblu from expectation of the high position she was called upon te till. That she Is the wife of the President does net explain the held she lias eh- ' talned upon thehearta of men and women ' alike, el every rani, ami ucgrce. -jiiere i net a man in Washington who Is net dead gene en 31 rs.

These are higher examples of hew extremes meet in thec dav of work and cqualltv Hut there is one crave possibility that our girls need te be guarded" against . it is that of lK'Cemlng mere specialist in work. Seme xear age a foreigner, w lie had the entree of the best New i erk society, remarked that the society of American women wa infinitely mere lv.irjlile than that of the men. becau men w ere immersed in business or politics and have no leisure fur cultivation; the women cultivated literature, music and tiie social art, and were therefore titled for the companionship of intelligent men This desirable state of tiling doe net eeni likely te last. The tendency new among women i te devote themselves te some trivial specialty in literature or art and make a little money at it, whether they need te de se or net "Te fellow even the"met trifling pursuit with a money meney inaking object require n devotion which become absorption and dwarf all ether jiessihilities in one' life Interest and thought revolve in a circle, JH'ttv cares accumulate, nerve become attenuated, life is limited te the smallest of indi vldual interet and all the fruit of leiure and happy home life are sacrificed te a little money, which is perhaps wasted in one direction while gained in another.
