WHAT WOMEN TALK ABOUT
What do women talk sboutl
Weather first, beyond doubt,
Then their tongues begin to 80
On the topics told below.
Ministers and church affairs;
Household worries, childrcn's cases,
Aches and pains, and pans and aches,
New recipes for making cakes.
Servant girls with horrid ways.
Latest fashions, temperance craze,
How to save the heather band,
Jars of fruit for winter canned.
Bonnets, dresses. ribbons, gloves,
Shopping fun, young maidens' loves,
Gossip, scandal quite intense
And religious arguments.
Babies, what to eat and weir,
How to hide the silvercd hair,
How to keep youthful face
And preserve form of grace.
These and similar things, no doubt,
Do the women talk about,
Though the men suppose, ahem,
That they only talk of them.

CHAPTER xxi.


The Amcric. stage boasts some excellent
actors, but 1t owes Its prestige rather to the
talent Of few brilliant individuals than to
distinction Of ensemble.
The plays are written for certain actors,
and the secondary parts are made to serve
tho purpose of throwing up the star" This
Il why the French plays that are trans
planted to the stage Of America generally
fail.
American theaters are not subventioned BY
tho state, and private enterprise can scarcely
afford to give the public the luxury Of q
whole company Of talent. The "star" Il
usually his or her own manager, draws the
public and realizes the profits. The reper-
toire consists Of two or three plays, which
are performed before Now York audience
for month or two and then taken round to
the chief cities Of the States.
This Is why ono sees fresh companies nearly
every week In half the theaters. Today Q
drama, next week comedy, opera bouffe the
week after. Sometimes tho change Is still
more brusque Mr.. Henry Irving and Miss
Helen Terry gave a series Of performances at
the Star theatre, New York, during the
month Of March Last. On their departure
they were succeeded by troupe Of perform-
ing monkeys. The theatre was Just as likely
to have been hired by travelling revivalists.
The Americans have an unbearable trick
Of arriving late at the theatre. For twenty
minutes after the curtain rises there u o con.
slant bustling and rustling Of newcomers,
which debars you from the pleasure Of fol.
lowing the actors speeches. II tho play be-
gins at 8, they come at q quarter past; II It
begins at quarter past, they come at half.
past, and 50 on. Al the time appointed for
the curtain to rise, the stalls are empty. This
bad habit annoys the actors and disturbs the
spectators; but the evil Is incurabls, and
managers try vsinly to stop it. Iknow one
who followed the advertisements Of his play
by this paragraph:
"Ths public are solemnly warned that, un.
less the whole Of the first scene DO witnessed,
the subsequent action Of the play cannot be
understood"
His efforts were crowned with failure. Not
to understand the play is a'pity, but not to
create sensation when one comes In, dressed
In ones most killing attire, Is out Of question.
It Is tho same at concerts and lectures.
Those who have booked their seats In I'D.
vance come In a quarter Of an hour or twenty
minutes after the tino fixed for commanding.
When every ono Is placed, tho concert OF
lecture begins The early comers, who have
| to wait until the late ones have arrived, utter
