A PART OF THE PLAY.
Kissing That Brought Some Russian
Actors to u Prison Cell.

Kissing That Brought Some Russian
Actors to u Prison Cell.
The course Of true art does not al
ways run smooth in Russia, as, for OK
ample, in the theater Of Yelizavetgrad.
In the fourth act of certain play there
is a thcater within Il theater. as In
Shakespcarc's Hamlet" only that
some of the dramatis personr have to
mix with the public In the galleries
and to hiss the chief actress, who duly
faints. As soon as the gentlemen had
taken their places anon; tie gods ana
beaun 10 hiss and whistle the police
man OH duty came down upon them
like wolf on tine fold. and before they
could utter Il word Of explanation he
and his colleagues 'nahbcd' two. re-
moved them by force and took them to
the next police STATEN. where they
were charged, with GisIrd, riy conduct
at Il public place. They protested that
they had ONLY done their duty. but the
police laughed their explanations TO
scorn. Tie rublic l'ft III" theater en-
n.asse to zee wat was happ ming TO the
actors. but TIE latter had already been
CONSIGNED to Ire cells. The crowd In
the street bcfo.e the station hose grow
rapidly in numbers, and its noisy
protests threatened to culniinate i'll Sc
rious disorders. Fortunately, the man
ager of the thed.rr appeared before the
superintendent and by tie light of a
lamp deciamcd. with manuscript In
hand. the w.olc fourth act. in order to
show that III sing was an essential part
of TIC performance. Only then did the
Representatives of tie law release the
innocent actors.

A Temple of Divorce.

So long ago as 100 the wife OF q
japanese regent obtained from the gov
crnment permission to rescue women
from the hands of cruel husbands. The
means she took were very simple. y
new sect of Buddhism known rs the
Zen Was just then being formed. In
the temple of the Zen sanctuary was
established for fleeing wives. When
they wished separation or divorce from
their husbands. they could claim pro-
lection under tie wing Of the temple.
Once across the threshold. government
officials would not be allowed to inter-
fere, still less the furious husbands.
This temple of divorce" was supreme
umpire OH matters of matrimonial dis
agreement. Tho practice Of the "privi-
lcge of the temple" was maintained for
over 600 years.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1903-07-28

The eclipse Of the Eiocn Is full OF
portent to the Macedonian MOhammed-
ans. 1t indicates bloodshed. 1t Is
met with reports of firearms. and the
imams call from the minarets the
faithful to public prayers in the
mosques. This recalls In IL striking
manner the practices Of many savage
and barbaric nations. The great ma
tons of Asia. such as the Hindoos ana
the Chinese. still cling to the belief In
the eclipse monster. The latter meet 1t
with prayers. like the Turks. But even
in civilized Europe. both ancient and
modern. one finds numerous proofs or
this superstition. The Romans cane to
the succor of the afflicted moon by
finging firebrands into the air. by the
blare of truhpets and the clang or
brazen pots. The superstition survived
through the middle ages into very
late period. France. Wales and Ireland
offer many instances rs late as the
seventeenth century.

As to the Midsummer Hats,

As the season advances, hats are
changing in shape, probably because the
plateau shapes, etc., are becoming SO
terribly common. Also the very low
hats do not suit every one.
A new high crowned shape is of sun
burned straw and is trimmed with scarlet
tulle, cherries and their foliage, and is
intended for wear with linen or tussore
gown.
Cherries, by the way, are still much
worn in the very smart hats, and they
are often combined with ribbon velvet OF
the same color. Large ostrich plumes
are also much worn on both black and
white hats, and they look rather nice.
Hats standing up rather high from the
forehead are good deal worn, with
wreath of pink roses or something of the
sort, and they are always seen with tulle
strings to tie under the chin.
Wreaths are still much used for hats
and saw combination produced by a
wreath of pink roses in which were
mixed small bows of blue velvet. 1t
was not exactly pretty, but it gave a
good idea of what is considered ''smart."

The Slim and the Plump.

Neither the too slim nor the too PLUMP
woman-if any woman ever confesset
even to herself that she is either-should
wear the absolutely close-fitting gown
With soft folds and dropping puffs, one
is left in pleasing uncertainty as to any
excess or deficiency of flesh.
Plump women are apt to think that
tight-fitting garments make them look
smaller, and thin women that they show
such "curves" as they have. Thir
women have no curves; they are angles
and should be concealed and fluffy ap.
parel will do it. Plump women who
look as though their arms and bodies
were bursting out of their tightly ftted
sleeves and bodices are never pleasing
spectacle, and like their thin sisters,
should try to veil their outlines.
In these days of varied dressing there
is no excuse for any woman, even if she
be of limited means, not making the
best of herself.
