SHOULD AN ACTRESS MARRY?

THE VIEW OF GERALDINE FARRAR.

Everylady’s Journal—the Australian magazine lor 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 Loudon,” Miss Roberts on “Billards for Women,” “The Story of Captain Oates,” “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 ? I do 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. Cove and matrimony do not wear the same pair of shoes. Marriage means propagation: two friends and a lamily. The real mother, having a thousand things to do, has no time in which to become an artist. A woman cannot divide lamily 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 ol my sphere and domesticate me, and 1 am done.” For the rest ot 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.
