Tittering Women in an Audience Rebuked

During the death scene in the play of
Camille" at the opera-house in Punxsu-
tawney, Pa, says the Spirit, Miss Irene
Taylor, who had the role of Camille, treated
the audience to real exhibition Of feeling
not on the programme. The heroine was
dying of consumption. Death was just
about to lay its skeleton fingers upon her
tired heart Her eyes began to assume that
fixed, CLASSY expression which Immediately
precedes dissolution, and she gasped pain
fully for breath. The scene was well stud
led, realistic and pathetic, and she was
just about TO drop into the arms of her
agonized lover-dead-when several women
in the audience laughed. Immediately the
face OF the dying woman assumed a stern
and angry expression. She stood defiantly
erect, and, pointing her finger at the Offend
ers, said, in whitening tones: Amy woman

lacking in the sentiments of common hui

lvered herself of this ebullition of indigna-

Spouse to the rapidly increasing demand for
practical instruction in tuning pianos, there
was introduced into the New England Con-
servatory depai TIM mt which should afford
special facilities for the development of this
important art. Among those who applied
for admission were a number of young
women. They were cordially welcomed,
for DR.. TOurjee is another man who believes
in the capacity of women to excel in vari-
Gus directions.
In introducing this new profession for
women 1t as fully expected that the same
prejudice ana opposition would be enc0un-
tered which have always greeted any inno-
Walton, and those who were instrumental in
bringing the movement forward prepared
themselves carefully to defend it. They
knew that the objections would be Just
what they turned out to be. The first one
was that young women would lack the
necessary physical strength. To this
they had the ready reply that the de-
mands made upon the strength were
not so great as we're those made
IN factories, mills. sewing-room, or even
kitchens; in fact, that the tuners work was
not so fatlgulng as were many of the EN-
Payments in which women were constantly
engaged, and which came under the head Of
- wUnen's work" The second objection
made was that women as rule lacked
mechanical ingenuity. The only answer
needed to this objection was to point to The
many manufactures where the incest me-
chaHlcal skill Is necessary, and which are
crowded by women operatives The third
objection WAS that women Lacked the power
OF application necessary to the requirement
Of difficult mechanical art. Time has an

and the experience of the years since the
department was first instituted has proven
that young women, with the naturally deli

Instrument Is characteristic of them.

Woman and Philanthropy

Time was when woman's sympathy Of

discriminating charity defeated its purpose.
But the woman who felt so much that she
practically did nothing belongs to the past.

Lowe Dickinson in Harper's Bazar, TO avoid

that she feels nothing. To what extent a
