One of the funniest things that have happened
in the Senate at this session occurred yester-
day when 1.-THE Hon" Mike" COfey, the states
man Of Red Hook rose to his feet as the cham
pon of honesty. Coffey's customary role is to
keep both eyes open and say nothing. When
he does break forth he creates sensation. Yes
terday he proclaimed that he was tired of hear
ing the character and honesty Of officials as
sailed. and that it was time for the Senate to
act in self-defence. Maybe 1t is. Perhaps Cof-
fey is right. AS for Senator Bradley, who was
the occasion Of Coffey's outburst, he is abun-
dainty able to take his own part: but no one
familiar with work on the Kings County farm
nj st. Johnland can blame him for looking with
suspicion on matter growing out Of that costly
and unsavory enterprise.

There is popular idea that ring made

used in a welding ceremony. This is
however, a fallacy. Any and every kind

whatever why silver or any commoner
metal should not be called into requisition
Numerous instances are on record of
runaway marriages in which a brass ring

legality of the ceremony has never been

of theater censorship in g. sensible way,
and one that is likely to prove most eff

its members, will not boycott any par
ticular play which may be considered inn
proper nor do the members pledge them
selves to any such united action. If they
foin the society they will simply promise
to weigh carefully in their own minds
whether they honestly ought to attend
the performance of any play which is
generally considered immoral, or whether
they ought to encourage bad conduct
among persons on the stage by going to
see stars whose general reputation is
that Of being immoral persons Any other
course, any vote against any particular
play, would, if made public, very likely
have a result directly opposite to the
purposes of the society by sending hun
dreds of persons to see the play"
In addition to this voluntary censorship
the club will have fortnightly meetings
through the theatrical season, at which
papers on the drama, critical historical,
and otherwise, will be presented, together
with discussions on current theatrical
productions. At these meetings actors Of
good reputation will be invited to present
their views on the same sub1ecr.

may transhgure the plainest face in the

The woman who fascinates is not al

All women wish to be beautiful-there is
no tendency to undervalue physical beauty
but the woman to whom nature has not
been generous may console herself in the
cultivation of graces of character and the
art of pleasing.
1t is pleasant comment to say of
