So it goes. There are po false, values in the long run in the glamorous world of the theatre. If some spoilt matinee idol or revna star demands hundreds week to-day-and gets it he may be very glad of £30 a week to-morrow.

He must either modify his de mands or resta euphuism for being out of a job.

Only a very small set of the stage world ever reach the three figure salary, As M. Fred Russell told the Variety Artists Federation the other day, only a dozen of the 5,000 odd music-hall artists in Great Britain make more than £200 a week-and they do not work fifty-two weeks in the year. Two dozen, perhaps, mike £100 a week, and about 400 get be tween £10 to £40 a week. The average working year averages out at nearer 3 than 2 weeks, and the average man is lucky to make his £5 a week.

This. the principal argument of his pacifist, opponent,, the Dutch general proceeded to tear to pieces on the principle that never was a method of attack yet invested which did not almost immediately call forth successful counter-methods of defence.

£500 TIP.

GOOD, BUT NOT NEARLY A RECORD.

The £500 which the German delegation gave as a tip to the staff at their hotel during their recent stay in London is stated by hotel managers to be a:good tip, slightly erring on the side of gener Deity, but not exorbitant considering the size of their bill." The hotel accommo- dation is said to have cost them from 24,000 to £5,000..
