LEAVES FROM SOCIETY'S NOTE BOOK

Have you ever noticed how hard u
seems to be for women to keep still
during a theater performance?
Courtesy and unselnshness are sup
posed to be the basis Of all true polite-
ness, but how utterly opposite It Is
when someone talks while the play is
going on. Nothing could be more sell
flsh since no one around them can hear
what Is being said on the stage. These
dlscourteous persons seemingly think
that because they do not want to hear
the actors no one else does.
The other day at the performance OF
'Peieas and Melisande" there were
three of these selfish people behind my
seat. The construction Of the play de-
mands the speaking Of the actors to be
very soft and low and the ear has to
be attentive every minute to catch the
sounds. But exclamations such as
these came necessarily from those be-
hind us:
Isn't she beautiful Hasn't she
handsome clothes7v His voice is so
good" And they would talk It all over.
Now that may have been very inter-
esting TO the participants, but what Of
the rest of the audience? We were not
interested In what they thought we
wanted to hear what we had come for.
Very likely those women had no idea
of the annoyance they were causing and
would probably have ceased immedi-
ately IL they had known. But 1t Is just
these thoughtless ones who cause the
petty miseries of the world.

tea instead of coffee was given. The

a large japanese parasol lined with a
silk flag, from which ribbons extended
to the places. During the course of the

small black boxes in the shape of
physicians instrument cases slid down
the ribbons. They contained cards an
