RIGHTS OF CHORUS GIRLS,
New York Manager Protects Them
from Unwelcome Attentions
Of Men.

The time Is past when wealthy
Young men can sit in the front row
of q first-class theater and ogle the
young women in the chorus. says the
New York Sun. Certain managers
used never to make strenuous obJec-
tions to this sort of fun. providing
the young men didn't interfere with
the enjoyment OF the rest Of the au-
dience, but no manager will permit 1t
now.
Five well-known young men about
town tried it at a Broadway theater
few nights ago. and the manage
ment put up with their nonsense until
the first part Of the show was over.
Then the five left their seats and start
ed out for a drink When they re-
turned they were allowed to enter the
theater. but two ushers barred the
aisle leading 10 their seats. Near
the ushers stood the manager OF the
house Said he To the five young men:
The ladies of the chorus have com
planned Of your unwelcOme attentions.
You have seen half Of this show and
can get half the price Of the face value
OF your seats al the box Office IL you de-
sire. You can't return TO your seats.
II you try TO. I'll have you all ar
rested"
The five young men consulted. Then
they apOlOgized for their conduct The
manager said he was sorry. but he
couldn't let them return to their seats.
They saw the rest of the show stand
ing UP in the back Of the house.

1t is probable that not one girl in q
thousand-if so many-is instructed be-
fore marriage as to her duties to her
mother-in-law.
Conversely, hoN many mOthers-in-law
study the duties of their position?
One OF the chief stupidities arsong the
many with which human nature is al
fiicted is that Of not taking the long
view.
A mother says: "Oh. my boy is leav-
ing home to start out in business for
himself. How dreadful this is"
Well-what did you bring him up for:
Did you look forward TO having him tied
always Ito your apron strings" Did
you intend TO support him in manhood.
just as you did in childhood? And did
you suppose. in case he earned his own
living at all. that 10 would always be
able to stay at home and do il? Had
you not observed that large proportion
of sons have to leave their parents home
and go to some distant place in order TO
make the best living?
And then did you intend that he
should live bachelor-never having the
dignity and joy of home and wife and
children of his own? Did you think.
with all the lessons of past generations
behind you-especially Of your own and
your husbands eXperience-that the
love of his parents was going to be
enough for him? Did you not fore
see that a stronger and deeper love must
and should-come TO him some day?
| And is IL possible that you were so self
ish that you were sorry that this bright
est of all earthly experiences Gf il occur
in the natural way and between noble
souls), was coming some day 10 your
boy?
The woman who does not thus look
| forward and thus rejoice musN be lack
ing both mentally and morally.
The good woman brings her boy up
to aim al independence in manhood; and
if in the long view that independence
seems likely to come more quickly or
more richly in some distant place than
near his home. she speeds him sn his
way.
She wants him to set up a home for
himself. She does not want him to live
and die an old bachelor A supeEfiuity
of bachelors is one of the greatest
plaques with which a community can be
cursed.
