MOODS AND TEARS.
One woman's Views About WeepinE
at Theatrical Performances.

One Woman's Views About weeping
at Theatrical Performances.
There is just this about crying at
the theater," said the average woman
you'll cry il you're in the mood for it
and you won't if you're not, no matter
how narrowing or nonharrowing the
play may be. Like most average wom-
en-, rarely cry either at the theater or
anywhere, but I long ago discovered
that it depends entirely upon my mood
at the time I once went to a genuine
comedy and found the tears filling my
eyes just because l happened to be
blue at the time, and I've been at many
a play with all the women round me
mopping their eyes and drying their
pocket handkerchiefs on their fans
while I, being for some reason OF other
uplifted, sat there dry eyed, almost
smiling.
mo matter what my mood, however,
the thing sure TO keep me from weep
ing at the theater is any emotional dis
play on the part of her who is with
me. I can attend the weepiest kind Of
a play unmoved with my sister, for she
starts in way ahead of time. making
me feel more like laughing than cry
ing, and then when the true lachry-
nose opportunity arrives it finds me
pathos proof. This is the only way by
which l may make myself immune
from weeping at theaters upon all oc-
casions. "-P Philadelphia Inquirer.

TIPPING IN LONDON.

No End 10 the Fees 20 ServitOrs In
Restaurants.
AS an old Londoner 1 have seen
changes in the manners of the city
which amount to a complete transfer
nation. ! remember well the time
when there wasn't really a good res
taurant in all London and when men
had to be content with dining and sup
ping in the back parlors of public
houses. You got very good food in
those dark, low ceilinged, stuffy rooms,
and 1 remember when you were con-
sidered TO be doing very well when you
handed the somewhat time worn and
III clad waiter twopence or threepence
as tip.
Nowadays you go into a restaurant
which is palatial. and you see men, es-
1ecially il they belong to the Stock Ex-
hange, giving huge tips that in olden
mes would have paid the price Of
hole dinner for half a dozen friends.
I'd the tipping never seems 10 end.
IN tip one waiter for one thing and
lother for another, and you tip the
river, and then you tip the man who
ives You your wine, and as you are
aaving you tip the porter who puts on
yOur coat and the other porter who
calls your cab. 1t is. in fact becoming
almost impossible for men Of moderate
means to go TO most of the restaurants
of today.-M. A. p.

Of asparagus rust
The prevalence OF asparagus rust has
occasioned much interest and many in
quiries as to Its treatment. Experiments
under the auspices Of this station. and the
experience OF practical men throughout
Delaware, and elsewhere. have domon-
strlted that the rust can be controlled by
the use Of the Bordeaux-rosin-so mix

begun before the rust makes its appear

curative.

be the time for the first spraying follow

Two sprayings will usually enable the
plants to carry the roots over the season
with no injury to the next years crop.
Treatment Of Plum Rot.
The experiments Of previous years have
showed only slight value in the use OF
Bordeaux mixture as preventive of plum
rot. Experiments I'm bagging plums indi-
cate that infection takes place very early
possibly before or during blossoming.

cation before the bloom opens.
