Lillian Russell has been an operate
favorite before the American public
since the day when, at 16, she grad
uated from a music hall to the comic
opera stage, and began creating lead
Ing roles in Audran and Offenbach.
Miss Russell has been married to Har-
ry Braham, to Teddy Solomon and to
Sig. Perugini. The following article
on divorce was written by Miss Rus
sell for the st. Louis Post-D Dispatch:
Dlvorce ends more useless suffer-
ing, breaks more irksome bondage
than any other institution in exist
ence Take away divorce. and there
WILL be more unholy alliances lived
out by weary, heartsick men and
women than can be chronicled. am
not putting myself up as an authority,
Tor l know that anything I may say
Will possibly bring forth gibes and
sneers from many who frown upon d.
vorce. I am not making this a per-
sonal question. I am speaking in the
abstract. If women find that their hus-
bands have vices which they cannot
tolerate, or british tendencies that are
obnoxious to refined womanhood, do
you think they ought to be forced to
drag out a loveless existence by the
side of these men? Where two peo-
pie have not n thought in. common,
do you think that life together holds
Tor them any happiness? I tell you
no, and that marriage of that kind is
unholy and should be dissolved. But,
you ask, do I not think these things
ought to be considered before the leap
is made into matrimony? Most Ger
ta1nly I do, as far as possible. But
there Is no judging a man or woman
before your marriage. It takes the
little frets and Jars of daily life to
bring out different phases of charac-
ter. Before marriage the curl papers
are taken down carefully and the hair
arranged in a soft, crinkly couture.
After marriage the curl papers are as
often as not left up. and the greater
details Of life are neglected in the
same ratio. 1t takes some people
longer than others to find out whether
or not they have made a mistake, but
they do make the discovery l
think they ought to rectify it at once.
l do not NEAR that they should cry
quits at the first quarrel, but after time
to gather a full realization Of the
hopelessness Of trying to get along
together. People come to me and ask
me how I have preserved my good
looks. Zone would think me as old
as Methuselah to hear some of them.)
I will tell you the secret; it was no
hygienic feat performed by beauty ex-
perts. l got a divorce; that's what
kept me free from worry, wrinkles
and-look, you don't see a single
crows foot! Well, just think of those
] would have had If l had not been
divorced. The woman who continues
to live with a man simply for the
looks of the thing, and to be support
ed by him, is a coward. If she allows
herself to be subjected to i'll treatment
or humiliation OF hardships through
the fault of a man, she is not deserv-
ing of sympathy, and lowers the
standard Of womanhood. 1t is no easy
matter to brave public opinion, but
life is a fight of n kind OF another.
And divorce is far better than wrin-
kles and crows feet"

SEA N

A woman who had lived some few
years in a mountainous district of
France recently was heard to say that
she had fallen under the influence of
the mountains, and could not be long
absent without feeling that curious
yearning for them which is commonly
attributed to natives of Switzerland
and the Tyrol, and that no one could
understand this who had not expert
enced it. The friend whom she ad-
dressed replied that she could perfect
ly understand, having herself a sim
liar feeling for the sea.
"Oh, but that is not the same thing"
said the m~ountaineer decisively. EN-
deed, l think it is very much the
same" said the sea-lover, "and is it
not very natural that. we islanders
should have it," mot at all: there ia
nothing in the sea to inspire It," was
the Incorporating nswer. It is very
extraordinary that persons who are
sufficiently imaginative to feel infu-
ences of this description can yet be so
narrow-minded concerning the varying
Impressions of others.
In point of fact, sea and mountains
are about equal in the grandeur and
suggestiveness which constitute their
fascination. The lofty peaks and,
eternal SHOWS lift our thoughts into
regions Of high endeavor, but the sea
sways US equally by the sense Of in.
finite space and continual variety.
Moreover, these are not the only things
in nature capable Of producing thai
curious homesick longing.
English people exiled in dusty and
arid places say that 1t is to the green
fields that their hearts constantly turn.
and to the deep shady lanes with wild
roses clustering in the hedges and the
sound of running streams in the sum-.
mer woods; the thought Of these
things is a refreshment in the desert,
but it comes with a longing which Is
pain. Different minds are subject te
these different influences-some more
or less to them all-and 1t is idle Is
deny any Of the links which bind hu.
manity to nature. !.

lodge making up the deficiency. NJ. A.
Fryer, who with Chairman Wadsworth
and William A. Mum signed the call
for the meeting, read a long list of
lodges against which, he said, charges
had been made before the Grand Lodge
by Past Representative H. Oscar Kline.
These charges, owing to legal tech
nicality were incorrect in wording and
presentation. The fight is between the
eastern and western parts of the state
and it is declared that the western
lodges, by securing the temporary sus-
pension of Philadelphia lodges, hope to
get control of the entire body. 1t was
decided to notify all the state lodges
by the memorial mentioned of the "se-
cret service" method of work, and a
memorial of protest will be sent also
to the grand chancellor of Pennsyl-
Vania.
At a meeting to be held later at the
call of Past Chancellor Wadsworth,
further action will be entered upon.

including dolls suitable for ones own
use or for Christmas gifts, that will be
held on Friday and Saturday oS next

garten is not in any sense a parochal
school, but a city charity-to as great
an extent as is the Summer Home as
CrescO. The subscriptions of st.
Luke's people that for each of five or
six years have supported it, are this
year supporting the new one in the
Parish house.
The South Side beneficiaries. unable

who cannot attend or contribute to
this sale, but who are willing to aid the

PENNSYLVANIA DAY.
An Important Event in the Ex-
position

Philadelphia, Nov. 16.-Pennsylvania
day at the National Export exposition
was observed today. The occasion was
great success. The weather .was
beautiful and large numbers of people
from various parts of the state visited
the big show. The railroads sold re-
duced rate tickets from various points,
and many hundreds took advantage of
this to spend the day here.
The features of the day were the ex-
ercises in the auditorium of the main
building The exercises began at 8
o'clock. At that hour the great hall
was filled to it's utmost capacity.
Among those present were Governor
Stone, State Treasurer Beacon, Mayor
Ashbridge, Secretary of Internal At
fairs Latta, Director General w. p.
Wilson, and a number Of others.
Director General Wilson called tn,
assemblage to order after Innes' band
had rendered a selection, and intro
duced John Birkinbine, vice president of
the National Export exposition and the
president of the Franklin institute and
the presiding officer. Mr.. Birkinbine
made brief speech, and then intro
duced Mayor Ashbridge, who welcomed
the visitors to the city. Governor Stone
responded in behalf of the people of
the state. Among other things he said
he had felt that the exposition shoull
be encouraged and extended. He be-
lieved that six months from now il
would be appreciated better than it is
today. He suggested that the exposi-
tion should be made a permanent af-
fair. 1T should occur every year" he
said, land the congress and the state
and great city of Philadelphia should
see to it that it does not lack in funds
necessary to make it an annual sue
cess. The people of the world should
be given to understand that each year
here in Philadelphia, the greatest in
dustrial city of the world in Septem-
ber and October and November are to
be found samples of our surplus pro-
ducts; samples of the goods that we
wish to export and let merchants of
the world come here and find anything
and everything that we have to SELL
Five years from now this exposition
should be double in maintenance and in
exhibits"
Director General Wilson was the last
speaker and explained the relations of
the commercial museums to the devel-
opment of the trade of the country and
Its relation to the exposition. At the
conclusion Of Dr. Wilson's remarks. the
assemblage was dismissed and it scat
tered through the buildings and on the
esplanade.
