MEN MORE INDIFFERENT THAN WOMEN.
Does any one ever touch pitch without

Do YOU know, think one reason why
so many men rave against this play is be-
cause il hits them very hard. The Paulas
in life are the result of mans inhumanity
to woman, and men don t like to be told
of their weaknesses. Somebody said that
they would like to see Sarah play this l
have the greatest admiration for the mar
vicious French woman, but she has never
been able to portray the grande dame.
and with all her faults, with all her bad
temper Paula still looked what she orig
inally was, by birth, lady You can
cite every part that Sarah has ever con
ceived, and among them all you will not
find one who is born to high estate And
another thing the Second Mrs. Tanque-
ray is not possible in Paris, for a
Frenchmans love would never cause him
TO make what might be considered an i'm
proper marriage.
If you are woman l want you to go
and see this play; if you a man, it doesn't
make any difference. Being masculine,
you look at it with the eye of a critic
being feminine. with the eye of the woman.
Finer in your nature, you can understand
better than does the critic the Yearning

girl-a girl whom she believed thought
her all that was good and sweet You
will despise this girl as l did. The young
girl whose religion causes her innocence

out knowing she believes wrong of her
stepmother. affects me as do great
many religious people-people who
would not be recognized by Him of
Galilee.
OF course in the play the greater part of
the work falls upon Mrs. Kendall, and she
pictured Paula as she would be in real
life; growing little weary of the mo-
notony of country life, longing, as would
any woman, for social position, nervous
and easily irritated because she is so
much alone, constantly referring to some
thing in her old life that she wishes to
forget and yet making every effort to be
a good wife as far as she knew how. ]
am perfectly certain that Aubrey Tan

him that unpleasant daughter. Most of

QUIET DRESSING Is APPRECIATED.
III tell you a fine point that Mrs. Ken
dial made, and that none of the critics
noticed. Just before and Immediately
after her marriage, her inclination was
to dress at once magnifcently and rather
too gorgeously, but with little observa-
ton she quieted down until a pretty silk
gown, suitable for gentleman's wife,
and an evening dress with few jewels.
showed that she was learning to dress as
a gentlewoman does in her own home.
Her friend of by-gOne days who had mar
ried a lord, was radiant in red satin and
loads of diamonds, when the second Mrs
Tanqueray wore a very plain but superb
yellow silk, trimmed with real
lace, and with no jewels except the
comb in her hair. Another thing
the critics forgot when they saw this
play, ana winch IL would ne gOOu 10 call
the attention of the actors to, is the ease
with which the men on the stage wear
their clothes. ! saw an actor the other
night a very well known one, walk
around in his evening clothes with as
much grace as if he were bOotblack and
yet he was supposed to represent gen
tlcman. The critic doesn't care; the
critic has so much space to fill; if he can
abuse the play or the players, so much
the better; he thinks that is being
piquant. Anybody can throw mud; but
to find the good takes a little care. To
see the perfection in picture means
great deal; and to give people credit for
their work is a generosity that My
Master, the Critic, seldom possesses.
