stage deals with the sad and perpiex- ing problems which follow on the slns and weaknesses of men and women. especially on those which arise from re- lations between men and women The stage must not taboo the subject any more than must the pulpit, if 1t is ever to be the teacher of moral and social righteousness, which it ought to be and might be. But the social rcformer has a right to complain of the way in which the stage too often treats these questions. Vice is glossed over by humorous situations, or tricked out in false sentimentality; men, and es- pecially women. are continually repre- scented at condoning immortality under the assumption that passion, and not honor. reason. and duty, ought to bo the ruling impulse. indecency Is only saved from it's native sordidneSs and ugliness by the consumnate art of an actor or an actress, by splendid dresses,
 sparkling music, and superb mounting in general. ..
 There is a recent example which well supports the accusation. Recall to mind a certain play as 1t was pro- duced in London last year, a play in one scene of which 8 woman undressed herself to a very considerable extent in full view of the house, and pre- tended to undress herself more com pletely than she actually did. Then think of the marvellous success or the piece, think of thousands Of refined looking and well-dressed women who calmly and comfortably watched this performance in the company ofrtheir brothers, and sweethearts and others.

President Loubet.

Baron de Coubertin in The Century.
 President Loubet is literary man. He has read enormously, and because of his habit of early rising, quite com mon among country people, even at the Elysees Palace, he. finds time to read; and not only read newspapers, but the reviews and books. He reads quickly, seizes well the gist of writ ing, criticises fairly, and in conse- quence gets much profit from his read ing. Besides that, he Is assisted by Q fine memory. which not only recalls to him what he has read. but also every scene through which he has passed. In that way he has accumulated vast experience relating to men and things. Only in one point would this experi- ence be likely to prove weak. He has traveled little. or rather, unless l am mistaken, he has not travelled at all; and in order to preside over the des- tlnies of a country like France, which. owing to its importance as colonial power. its past history. and its geo. graphical position op the globe. Is obliged to have a very active foreign policy, this lack of acquaintance with other lands is serious inconvenience. Luckily the President has quality which is precious beyond others, and one that permits him to overcome this very inconvenience. He understands admirably how to listen.

Women as Theatrical Censors.

Nineteenth Century.
 It is certain that the time has come when women have both the ability and the power to act as the natural and most efficient censors of the theatre: IT they chose to boycott objectionable plays. these plays would become i'm" possible instead of being the phenom- enally successful things they are. But what is the fact?. What sort of plays please the modern girl? What of the great theatrical hits of the last few seasons, and what of the crowd of wo- men and girls who have patronized and made them paying ventures? It ought to be no part of the purpose of the so- cial reformer to complain that the

our possibilities.
