possible in America for q woman to have
large following Of devoted knights Ameri-
can men have not time for that sort Of thing.
1t is the nature Of all women to DO kindly,
think. don't know whether q woman can
thoroughly pretend to love man when she
does not. I've had no experience in that
way. don't sec why woman should take
the trouble to do that.
"On the stage, Of course, a woman who
knows that she is expected to be charming to
her audience must take the trouble to be so,
whether she is in charming mood or other
wise. On the other hand, it is possible, with
an effort, for woman to pretend that she Is
indifferent to man she loves-for time
But she will betray herself eventually by q

by a dozen little involuntary evidences
which man can generally rely upon. II he

THE LADIES REMOVED THEIR BoNNETs.
The story has travelled all the way to New
York that a lot Of college boys formed stag
theatre party In New London the other even
ing and completely filed the first three rows
Of orchestra chairs. As soon as the curtain
went up they all donned huge Eiffel tower
bonnets, causing a total eclipse Of the stage
Some of tho ladies in the audience felt
highly indignant, while others took tho mat
ter good naturedly and sent wore. through the
usher that II the collegians would terminate
their little joke the ladies would consent to
remove their own bonncts
The boys accepted the compromise, and
filed out in body after the first act to cele-
brate what they considered victory for
mans rights
HOW TO TELL AN ACTRESS AGE.
A unique method of ascertaining the age
Of an actress, despite arts aptful aid in make
up and rejuvenation, was recently unfolded
to Mirror correspondent by a sharp friend
The lady who made the observation occupied
a front chair during the performance Of a
we'll known actress who preserves a phe-
nomenally youthful appearance. The OBJ
server made the following disclosure to the
correspondent after the performances; 1.-THE
only indication Of the advanced years Of the
actress was in the appearance Of her elbows,
which showed the wrinkles Of age" OF
course no man would be ungallant enough to
make such an observation or disclosure. 1t Is
chroniced here as a warning to actresses who
hide tho footprints Of time, that they have a
vulnerable point in the brachial cuticle, as
Achilles had In the tarsial tendon. Tho dis
covery may prove Of some value TO the aged
admirers Of the ballet 1t is certainly q new
wrinkle.
LILLIAN RUssELL's REDUCED FLEsH.
Lillian Russell, who at one time was very
stout, has been wise enough to reduce her
flesh just as she wanted to-that Is to say, she
took away the fat where II was unnecessary
aud left it where 1t was needed. This she did
in the systematic way Of an English jockey.
She was bandaged with heavy iannels, and
then over them she wore her regular clothes.
She had employed PAGER, and every morn
ing she went to the park with him while II
was sti,l early, so that she should have her
walk without attracting attention, says The
Philadelphia Times. He walked just in front
Of her, and as he thought wise increased the
quickness Of his steps until she was In profuse
perspiration, especially on the part Of her
body where she wished the flesh to disappear.
Then home she went, walking very quickly.
Soon shs was undressed, rubbed down with
alcohol, put to bed and allowed to sleep for
an hour, when she was awakened to have q
cup Of coffee. The result Is that the beautiful
Lillian is well shaped, unwrinkled and
healthy, a result that would not have fol-
lowed If she had taken to the starvation diet,
or II she had simply sat and moaned over
each pound of flesh.
