NOTES ABOUT WOMEN.

Since the beginning of time wo-
mans affections have been kept in
a dollhouse to make them Just as
large and tender as possible; her
judgment has been confined to the
cellar, to grow like potato sprout.
It's good thing to reverse the
process for while.
Statistics show that ten men
desert their families to one woman;
and yet women are blamed for race
suicide.
The new woman has got so she
carries a latchkey, but she hasn't
yet reached the point where it is
necessary TO take the keyhole along
with her.
Women make all the trouble men
have in life-and make it worth
the trouble.
1t is only after a woman has
learned to meet men without con-
sidering them in the light of ma
trimonial possibilities that she
really knows how to enjoy their
society.

that the physician, by reason of the
privileges conferred upon him by
the State, is, in the absence Of any
adequate reason for not so doingI
required to respond to all calls to

Reign 0fD0d0
Begins Tonight

the scenes are laid near that historic
spot made widely known by Washing
ton Irving. ''The Dairy Farm is a
rural comedy of the rustic life of Old
Hurley. Ulster county, New York, just
before the breaking out of the civil
war. The simplicity of the play
brings with it the perfume of a new
mown field, and the turmoil of the
busy street is forgotten in fancy's re-
membrance of the song of birds and
the sound of bees in the blowing clover.
The production will be complete in
every detail. All the scenery, proper
ties and antique furniture will be car
ried by the company. The same cast
that appeared at the Alcazar theater,
San Francisco during its two weeks
run, will be seen here, including sew
eral character players who have play
ed in the piece over 1000 times in
the east. The engagement includes
special matinee on wednesday.

Crescent's Success.

The Crescent dry goods store will be
IA years old tomorrow. This event
that institution intends to celebrate by
special reduction on goods in all
departments. 1t asks the public in
this manner to share in the rejoicing
over its years of prosperity.

the fact that the store has passed an
other milestone, but also that it was
the only dry goods house in Spokane
which escaped the ravages of the great
fire, which occurred within two days
of its opening in 1889.
The sale lasts but one day. How
erer, the bargains offered will be sufii-
cient to hake this day unsurpassed in
the history of sale days. Attention IL
called to them in the Crescent's ad on
the last page of this issue.

To Join Association.

Advices which have been received
here through official channels from the
Canadian Pacific convey the informa-
ton that the great Canadian transcon-
tinental road will join the Passenger
association, subject to the approval OF
its membership, and a few minor con
ditions, which it is understood bear
upon the peculiar relations of the Can
adam Pacific to the transcontnental
movement south of the international
line. The announcement of the decis-
ion is a great surprise to American
lines. 1t comes directly from Robert
Kerr of Montreal. passenger traffic
manager of the system.

In the Mimic World.

ners Of the early '70s, the period Of
the play. The first act represents the
landing dock of a steamship company
In New York. A, steamer has Just
locked after having crossed from Liv-
erpool In the then unprecedented time
or thirteen days, and most prominent
among the passengers is Nine Trento-
nj, one Of Europe's most famous and
most feted prima donnas, whom Maple
son Is bringing over for the star at
traction OF his season at the Academy
OF Music. Reporters Of all the New
York papers are waiting to interview
her, and three young members of the
Horse Marines are also there, honing
to meet the diva and make an i'm
preston" on her. These three young
Irritation seekers are Captain links, a
happy go-lucky but manly fellow;
Charles Lamartine, a somewhat un-
principled spendthrift; and August
Blocker Won Vorkenberg, a dandy of
the limp and looping variety in vogue
thirty years ago. The diva not having
yet appeared, they amuse themselves
Dragging as to how they intend to ex-
ert their charms, and end by links
and Lamartine laying a wager Of 81 900
that the former will succeed in getting
up Irritation with the songstress.
Nine. Trentoni finally appears, is in
terviewed in true prima donna fashion
by the reporters and receives the bou-
Quets, the three young sports offer her,
but of the givers, only links finds favor
In her eyes. Her foster father and
teacher, Prof. Belliarti, arrives and is
heartily welcomed by her, and links
sees by this meeting as well as by her
entire manner that he has to do with
woman who is a lady, and must be
treated as such. He tells Lamartine
the bet is off, but the latter will not
agree, and Jinks not having the $1,000
with him, writes and gives his oppo-
nent an I. o. U. for the amount.
This l. o. U. causes all the trouble
in the remaining two acts of the PLAY.
for Jinks and the singer fall in love
with each other, and all promises hap
PLY for them, when Lamartine and
"Gussie," discounted by their failure to
win the diva's smiles, use the l. o. u.
to prove that links bet he would marry
her.
Miss Elizabeth Kennedy, as Nine
Trentoni, has a role that enables her
to show to full advantage the charms
of person and manner, the sly humor
and the deftness in changing from
grave to gay that are characteristic of
the prima donna.
