What One Learns Who Actually Goes
 Down Among the Leisufely.
 Real impressions are gained by con tact, false ones by imagination and what we hear. Put yourself in the South. and then have, "Sit down, suh; sit down, suh; I'm right glad to see you, suh; right glad to see you, suh: sit down; I'm right glad to see you,'' addressed to you when you call to meet a man you ought to know The above was spoken at meeting of South erner and a Northerner. It was one of the first impressions.
 The broad accent of the truly South erner is amusing and charming. Those who hear it enjoy it. Those who hear it never forget it's charm. At times the accent may be dropped inten- tionally, but, catch the man off his guard, and the broadness develops un- consciously. The above was an illus tration. The young man is a typical, open-hearted Southerner The South ern talk Is his own. Hear him and you are interested.
 Slowness. Some and noticeable. There. is not the DO it now'' of the North. Hurry was not bred here. It would not feel at home. The oldtime ways survive. Yet the South is pro- gressing. There is more of business,

Grand Opera House.

"Why Women Sin,' the new sensa- tional drama which will be seen at the Grand opera house tonight and Fri day and Saturday nights, with the uusual matinee on Saturday, gives promise of being one of the best plays seen in this city.
 The drama Is iesplendent with bright comedy; the situations are dramatic, and every climax is sensational or pa thetic. There is no ranting end no so-called blood and thunder" There are seventeen characters in the play, and it is in four acts and seven scenes. Among the sensational scenes are Ladies night at Millionaires club,'' mrhe struggle on the stairs" "The hand of death, "The thwarted kidnap- ping" "The baby's prayer" 'The duel in the dark A handsomely ap- pointed gambling house in full opera tion, and the great climax in front of Trinity church on g. snowy winter night.
 The story calls for strong acting, and the company playing the piece Is said to be especially capable.
 The interior of the Millionaires' club with the amusements, the characteris- tics and the weaknesses of the mem- bers shown, offers a ground work for very effective drama, while the gambling house scene touches one of the strongest lessons of the entire play, and has been styled "a dramatic ser mon."
 A duel in a cafe on Riverside drive, with the lights out, is also highly ex- citing.
 The cast is as follows: Dorothy Pemberton, Miss Pearl Seward, Philip Pemberton, Frank Holland, Charles Wadsworth John Abbott, Eff Toilette Miss Florence Ashbrooke, Colonel Cohn Paul Burns, D. Darlington Dashaway George Betts, Beatrice Reynolds, Miss Carrie Eckert, Captain Moorlake, Am prose Rood, Mike Gillicuddy. Mart R.
