'Why is it, Mr.. Boucicault, that SO few
women have achieved success as dramatStsf'
because they have not the power of in
vention. 1t is in intellect-as in almost
everything else in this world-that the male
being is creative. And then the woman has
not the logic of events or the mechanism Of
construction. She cannot put together
slowly piece by piece with one single aim and
end in view Her intellect and nature are
discursive and episodic. She walks for a
while on straight road, but is tempted from
it by some pretty winding lane, or she dnllies
too long in some shady nook"
'Yet in novels women have shown inven-
tion, and some Of the situations conceived by
them have been remarkably effective on the
stage"
"Admittedl In narrative form the woman
often succeeds because the tendencies have
pointed out do not then become or appear as
defects. In the very few instances in which a
woman has made success as a playwright
she has been like Nine de Girardin or George
Sand-of masculine temperament. New

John D11lmmond, of the Richelieu hotel. is
one of the best natured clerks that ever regis
tered guest or assigned a room. He is
popular and deserving, and is great favor
ite with the ladies, who he delights to honor
with the true chivalry born of his Kentucky
birth and education. The other evening a
party of ladies and gentlemen were dining in
the cafe of the hotel and John was intro
duced to them. One of the young ladies had
beautiful black and tan dog with her, and
John was. remarkably sohcitous for the
diminutive CANNES comfort.
"What do you call himr asked John.
Pug" said the young lady sweetly.
That's strange" said John. Why, had
young lady friend once who called me

The liberated jail bird is study for the
close observer of human nature and charac-
ter. He looks nervously over his shoulder
at every step, as if suspicious of being fol
lowed, and is half inclined TO break into a
run or to dive into the first secure alleyway
that presents itself. Il is apparent from the
expression on each mans face that he can
hardly realize that he is free once more
His independence actually oppresses him and
makes him i'll at ease. There is something
aboui his clothes, too, that he cannot seem
to forget However old they raay be, they
have at least certain feeling of newness to
him, and he keeps constantly looking down
at his wrinkled trousers, gives his cost sleeves
a Strengthening pull every thirty seconds, or
brushes some particularly dirty spot that he
observes on his vest with the palm of his
hand Then he takes off his hat to make
sure that it is not the striped one he has
worn for the past six months, and when he
convinces himself that it is not he replaces it
upon his shaven head again with grim salts
faction.
The chances are that the jail bird will have
friend awaiting him outside the gate, or
perhaps the wife whom he short time ago
in her arms, forgetting how he abused her
and ready to welcome him back again On
the other hand, if no one comes to receive
him he will, as soon as he reaches the first
crossing, come to a sudden halt, with uncer-
| tain resolve which way to 60 There are
only three directions to choose from, that is
certain; but which to take it is not little diff
cult to decide. Had he a coin in his pocket
it would be toss up; but he is, unfortu-
nately, not overburdened with wealth Sud
denly, however, he will hurry down down
town, and in a moment is lost in the crowd,
on his way no one knows where. That same
evening YOU may, perchaace, see him sitting
on one Of the Battery Park benches, where
if he happens to fall asleep he will be arrested
for vagrancy, and next morning the same
little high pressure tug that brought him to
the city will carry him back for another
sojourn among the granite quarries and
produce gardens Of Blackwell's lsland-John

Careless Expressions Which Are Really In
vocations of the Deity-Bad Taste.


When We come to think of it, almost every
body swears. Not downright, up and up,
out and out swear, to be sure, but some sort
of a makeshift for an oath falls now and
then from almost everybody's lips. There
are times when what are popularity known
as 'cuss words" seem the only thing to fill
the bill-the masculine bill, that is.
Many oaths hav- lost their original signif-
icance and evil yirility, and survive merely
as more or less innocent expletives for the
relief of feminine feelings. How many of
the women who a dozen times a day ex-
claim, 80 dearl" or 80 dear mer' stop to
thlnk-or would know if they did think
that these careless expressions are invoca-
tions of the Deity2 80 dearw comes from
