Cruel New York Society.

Whoever should write an analysis of
affairs in New York today and should
leave out the STRAIN of social ambition
wonld miss the most serious thing in the
life of the metropolis. We are apt 20
think the hardest thing man eau do Is
to come to New Yorn, establish a foot
hold and eventually make a fortune. as
so many thousands of country boys have
done. But my observation is that if
you will go to those same men after they
have put the city under their feet, they
Will tell you that what they have accom-
plshed was nothing as compared with
what they have yet to do-and that is TO
get into society. / do not mean Meal

| mean the entree into any one of hun
bred far more desirable circles than Nc
Allister's band of self instituted aristo-
Gratis.
The dav was when a man had the
entree of any such circle if he was re-
spectacle man of any profession or if he
was rich. That is the case IN the smaller
cities today. Any doctor, lawyer, judge
or rich man. whose reputation is clean,
can instantly gain admission TO the
incest circles in the small cities. But
he cannot do so in New York. The only
sure passport 10 such circles that know
of in New York today is to be born in
such circle. The next best thing is TO
boast a commission in the army or navy.
The city is old and rich and suspicious
of all newcomers. That makes its So
ciety the most rigid and cruel in Amer
ics.-Julian Ralph in Providence Jour

age, and to use an expressive vulgarism,
'She was out of sight"
Leah" was disappointment to her in
telligent admirers. 1t is a purely German
drama, and although it was Frenchifed
for her use, she could not measure the ma
| lestic orbit of its race wrongs.
Her conception Of the part of the Jewish
maiden is contrary to the tradition estab-
lished by the best German and English
actresses, and her French views, in my
opinion, so belittled the ethical import of
the drama and the character as to place
them entirely outside Of her triunphs.
Nine. Bernhardt is a mistress of stage
effects. No one will deny that, and in all
those French nelodramas and tragedies
which have been constructed with stage
effects in view she is technically inim-
| liable.
But to take a play which has other and
higher ends in view and bring it down to
! the Theatre formula, is to any cultivated
observer Dissertation.
1t is very much like those pictures of the
| fall and the deluge and other allegorical
and spiritual signidcances which reduce a
canon to cartoon.
Leah" had been played here by Ristori
and Janauschek, both of whom preserved
in it the Israelitish majesty of race and a
covenant. 1t had in their treatment ire
mendous spiritual sweep. In Bernhardt's
hands 1t fell to a melodramatic ingenuity.
The great curse scene was belittled to the
point of personal ferocity and vindictive-
ness-made, I grant you, very acrid and
tumultuous and exciting, but in the de-
livery of it Leah lost all the dignity and
grandeur that race wrong and belief in
a God who had said, vengeance is mine,
| will repay" gave to Janauschek when
she, throned upon a Jewish monotheism,
poured out the lines like an avenging
prophecies.
The difference was just that between the
conscious outrage of eternal principles and
the retaliation of a wounded animal; be-
tween wrong that has heaven on its side
and spite that has merely an agonized
vehemence; between Brunhilde and La
Tosca; between Voltaire and Luther; be-
tween the melodramatic vivacity and volu-
bility of French effect and the deep mean
ing of the German tragic spirit.
Bernhardt in my opinion, is the goddess
of the trivial; her stage mission is to defy
device and overwhelm the senses with a
cheap but ingenious symbolism of con-
duct.
She got it into her head that in this jew
ish play, brought so squarely in conflict
with the perverted Christian spirit OF the
times it portrays, that it would be eff
fective to make Leah continually suggest
the crucifxion that symbol of persecu-
ton and cruelty to the Jews. To do this
she had to extend her arms and throw her
head back and stand in an agonized pose
against dark background. And she did
it three times in the course of the drama.
Who but Frenchwoman would have
conceived of the far fetched device? And
what was its value after all? 1t is true, as
we all know, that from the time when Ii
tus denuded the whole of Judea of timber

Jews down to our Russian day, the cross

There are many people who think they
ought TO help the Lord to keep the
preacher humble.
1t is easier TO run an engine without
fire than it is to keep up a church with
ont a prayer meeting.
The pastor who tries to carry his
church to heaven on his shoulders will
be sure to drop the most of it.
Men who stamp around among the
stars in the pulpit are not much account
in helping people toward heaven.
Closing the heart against the cry of
the needy is only another way of shut
ting the door of heaven against yourself.
The protracted meeting in which the
members Of the pastors family take no
interest is not apt to develop into much
OF a revival.-Ram's Horn.
