LlTTLE MARY.


II Is said to be quite the fad in New
York just now for everybody to ask
everybody else as a polite greeting
'Iow Is Little Mary?" and those who
don't understand look bewildered,
while those who do understand look
thoroughly disgustel. Little Mary"
be It known to all untutored minds, is
the title Of Barrie's last play, in which
a young girl is SO Jealous always over
the interests Of one liJtle Mary that
all her friends become sympathetic
and helpful, appreciatlng the nobility
OF the girls self.denial and patience
with this ward whom they have never
seen. All receive a decided shock in
the last act when as a climax to the
clever mystery the girl announces in
the glare Of the footlights that Little
Mary is none other than her stomach,
which she was iealously guarding
against disease and oyerwork.
The play is said to be intended as a
satire on the British custom of eating
six meals day, with a nightcap
thrown in, and a recent number Of
.'what to Eat" records the rumor that
his Majesty, the King of England, left
the royal box in high dudgeon when he
saw the drift Of the play. His Majesty,
like most of his subjects. keeps his
own Little Mary" pretty busy, and he
has not gone in yet for any of the pre-
digested foods of American manufac-
ture. nor has he yet ben conver ed 20
any Of the twomeal-a-day fads, His
Majesty, like the true Briton that he
is. is said to sit calmly down three
times day ana have a good, square
meal each time. then he has his morn.
ing refreshment of soup. wine or sand
wich. called the "eleveness,' just be-
fore noon, his substantial afternoon
tea. his after.dinner coffee and biscuit
and substantial sandwich thrown in
with his nightcap, and all in one day.
American people, hurried as they
are, Quick-mnch fiends as they are,
show eminently more consideration
for their digestive machinery than
their cousins oversee. and all the fads
they affect about their food, amusing
as they sometimes seem, have been
OF great help in keeping the nation
halthy.
The man who with his sons lives on
8 cents worth OF fool a day, and takes
al that at one meal, is eminenly more
commendable in his habits than the
Briton with his six meals. Too much
qualification OF physical wants is an
tagonistic TO the higher evolution TO
ward which humanity is aiming Then,
too. il is hard on Little Mary"
Ninety-nine people out Of hundred
always eat too much anyway when
they can get il, and more diseases are
the result Of oyecea ing than Of want
OF food. And while Barrie's play Is alb
su-d and rather coarse in its plan II
suggests the very sensible idea tha'
the majority OF the worlds people
might quietly exercise little more
consideration for heir own Little
Marys." and so make the world q
healthier, and consequently, a happier
place.
