SHOULD AN ACTRESS MARRY?

oTHE VIEW OF GERALDINE FARRAR. "Everylady's Journal' 7 —the Australian magazine for women —is essentially a journal that is indispensable to the woman who is fighting to run her home on practical and up-to-date lines. The August issue, however, just published, strikes a strong- note of general interest and entertainment with such articles as "The Literary Girl Who Goes to London," Miss Roberts on "Billiards for Women," "The Story of Captain Gates," "The Splendour of the English Court," and some fine short stories. Miss Geraldine Farrar, one of the most famous actresses in the world, has some interesting things to say on "Should an Actress Marry?" We quote: "My ideas on marriage? Ido not wish to imply that my course is the only one; but it is the only one for me Why should I marry? Matrimony I look upon as something serious and apart Love and matrimony do not wear the same shoes. Marriage means propagation: two friends and a family. The real mother, having - a thousand things to do has no time in which to become an artist. A woman cannot divide family interests with any other. I could not look forward to singing an ill child to sleep at home. I have a talent for being what I am; take me out of my sphere and domesticate me, and I am done." For the rest of this article and a score of other good things, we must refer readers to the August issue of "Everylady's Journal"—sold locally for sixpence.
