Women on the Stage.

An attempt was made at Blackfriars
theater in 1929 to introduce French
women on the stage, but without sue
cess, and the appearance of Mrs. Cole
man in Davenant's "Siege Of Rhodes"
in 1855 was of private character.
On Dec. 8, 1860, an actress, whose
name in not certainly known, took the
part of Desdemona at Killigrew's thea
tere in We're street, when prologue
to introduce the first woman" was writ
ten by Jordan.
Letters patent were granted by
Charles IL, dated Jan. 10, 1862, to Sir
William Davenant, and these recited
that whereas women's parts had for
merly been taken by men, to remedy
this abuse it was now permitted and
leave given" that all women's parts
then, and for the time to come, should
be performed by women.
In Pepys' Diary, under date Of Jan.
3, 1860, we find the record, ITO the
theater, where was acted 'Beggars'
DASH it being well done, and here the
first time thht ever 1 saw women come
upon the tage."-London Standard

How Ians Play Ken

In its most widely practiced form the
basis of the Japanese game of ken is
that the fully outstretched hand sig
nifies paper, the fully closed hand a
stone, and two fingers alone extended,
the rest being closed, scissors. Each
Of the players, counting one, two, three,
throws out his hand at the moment Of
pronouncing three, and the one whose
manual symbol is superior to that of
the others, according to the theory of
the game, wins the trial.
Superiority is determined on the
hypothesis that whereas scissors can
not cut a stone they can cut paper, and
whereas paper is cut by scissors it can
wrap up stone. Consequently scis-
sors is inferior to stone, but conquers
paper; stone is inferior. to paper, but
conquers scissors, and paper is inferior
to scissors, but conquers stone. There
are innumerable varieties of the game,
for it is not mere method of deter
mining a dispute or priority, and they
are constantly added to by ingenious
young ladies, the dancing girl class es-
pecially, who play it with exquisite
grace and judicious enhancement of
beautiful hands and arms.-Japan
