No,,on,,-.rbe French Maid y

Most of the foreign women who have
come to this country theatrically in re-
cent years have proven stupid and tire
some in the last degree. The Gaiety
Girl" was possessed of anything but the
vim to be gay, AN Artists Model was
not even risque excepting in her pictures,
and 1.-THE Ballet Girl was simply maud
lin But there is a decided charm and
chic to THE French Maid" that proves
delightful and so it is that when she
visited the National last night after an
absence of something less than eight
months, there were any number of people
present TO welcome her most heartily
The lady in question has many charms
and the greatest of them is her viyacity.
She is full of life and youth and piquan-
try-just the sort of a jolly girl one is
pleased to meet after a tiresome day and
heavy evening. Then, unlike her sis
ters, she dresses most bcomingly in some
thing bit more substantial than gauze,
If not less airy and unconcealing. She is
witty in the extreme and she is musical
so musical that no one can help humming
every number she sings after leaving the
theater. In brief, THE French Maid is
by far the most delightful of all her COM
patriots and as thoroughly enjoyable a
little body with whom to spend an hour
as one might select out of a thousand.
The persons who introduced this dainty
bit of femininity last night were nearly all
old friends, and ones who had been seen
in her company before. First of all, in
order of talent came Charles A. Bigelow,
whose Thank you very kindly, SIR was
not less funny than it had been during
the preceding season. Mr.. Bigelow is the
most laughable of comedians, and there
is no one who can surpass him in his Pc
cuiiar sort of hpmor Anna Held, who was
seen and heard in the title role. monopo-
lized attention and the calcium a great
deal more uncompromisingly than had
either Ollie Redpath or Marguerite Sylvia.
Miss Held has the talent of neither. as
was demonstrated by the manner in which
she spoiled La Poupe'' in New York She
was surprisingly good last night, though,
and invested the part with brilliance as
great as that of the marvellous costume
she wore during her speciality in the sec
ond act. Edward ]. Heron is not so nota-
Bile an admiral as was Edd Redway, while
Richard Ridgeley and Matt Woodward
please in rather unsatisfactory roles. Hal
len Mestyn is the same bluff, breezy, awk-
ward sailor as of old: Edouard Jose is as
fierce Frenchman: William Armstrong
is as handsome lieutenant; Eva Daven-
port has lost neither flesh nor humor and
Yolande Wallace continues to look pretty
and do little else. George Honey, Charles
E. Sturgis, Eleanor Kendall and Mamie
Forbes were all pleasing. The chorus was
filled with exceedingly pretty girls, the
ballets were beautifully danced and the
calcium behaved itself with discretion. Be-
sides these, Augustus Sohlke contributed
some grotesqueries in the second act that
were both novel and difficult.

Society is discussing with considerable
zest the coming of Mrs. Leslie Carter
Many of those in the social swim have
seen "Zaza' in Paris and are unanimous
in praising the play. They say that it is
to the drama what .'Trilby'' was to litera-
ture. Their curiosity is given a sharp
edge by anxiety to see what Mrs. Carter
can do with the part of the heroine. The
clever actress has already well earned
reputation as an emotional star of power
and discretion. but as the heroine of David
Belasco's latest effort she has to portray
a woman of the town-a concert hall sing
er-one who has spent her childhood in
the streets, who has never known a
fathers care or mothers tender caress.
Mrs. Carriers environment all her life has
been the antithesis of this. She was
reared in luxury and refinement. 1t re-
mains to be seen what she can do with
the coarse, even wanton, concert hall
singer of Belasco's 'Zaza." Society can
pass Judgment next Monday night, when
the piece will be produced for the first
time on the stage at the Lafayette.

The Evil of Tardiness.

The evil of tardinesS in school has engaged the attention and challenged
 the patients of teachers and school officers sine. it was ordained that pub-
 lie schools should be. This. however.
 is no argument against the public school: no institution for good ever ex- isted that did not have evils to Over- come and abuses to suppress. In the cities, by strict rules and a rigid en- fOrcenent of them, tardineSs has come to be almost an unknown thing, and, at this day and time, even in smaller cen ters of population, they have gone quite out of date. In fact, for many years there has been growing popular sen time mt against this evil. and of late it has taken long and rapid strides and has reached and impressed itself on the public mind in almost every town and village throughout the land. It may seem strange to some. but it is fact well known to teachers, that few fam flies only in every community are re- sponsible for a large majority of the tardiness in their school. This griev- ous fault is now usually attributed to, one or more of three things. namely: indifference, carelessness, and lazi.ess. on the part of the pupils, pare nts or both. It is true there are aVidental tardiness, but they are raro. Every act of tardiness tends to produce evil results on both the school and the tardv pupil himself In the school there is

Sep tember F. and the first Monday in January. Children six years of age or who will be six years old by Novem- Der l5. will be admitted to the first primary for the first time. the first day of school. Children six or who will be six yelrs old by March l4, will be ad- milted the first Monday in January, but not thereafter Classes for begin ners will be organized on those days of admission. This rule obviates the in- justice often done the children of d school by the admission of little ones at all times.
