WISDOM OF AN EMp1R1c1sT.


Usually, judging means misjudging.
Justice is nowadays largely tempered
with technicalities.
Life may be a joke, ali right, but it
seems to be on man.
Nervousness serves as an excuse for
lots of petty meanness.
Beauty is only skin deep. Therefore
when you skin, skin deeply.
4 woman must have lots of time and
energy to keep hired girl at work
Envy perpetuates itself We envy
other people and they envy someone else.
1t doesn't seem to have occurred to
anybody that a man may be both right
and President.
1t is my private opinion that man
who can run a furnace successfully can
do nothing else
BY substituting coal oil lamps for gas,
the city resident can have all the charms
Of suburban life.
II is about as hard to convince yourself

it is to get to the Office on week days

Corporations have no souls, and from
the difficulty encountered in serving sub

allows himself TO be convinced that he
should do what he wants to.-St. Louis

PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE

At the Providence Opera House for the
first half OF this week, with matinee to-
morrow, Miss olga Nethersole and her
London company present "Sapho," play
by Clyd Fitch based upon the book by
Daudet and Belot.
Miss Nethersoles "Sapho" last evening.
again carried her audience through the
intricate throes OF a story that denies that
love Is all' unless there may also be the
accomplishments OF mutual consideration
kindness, resignation of spirit and for
gotfdlness. TO find and hold the looked-for
secret OF happiness.
IL was a portrayal OF character marked
by a distinction that closely approx
mated the divine spark-that was at all
events exquisite talent. fine skill convin
cling stage artistry. Pretty and even more
dainty than ever, Miss Nethersole seemed.
her dulcet voice more grateful TO the ear.
Engaging in the play OF the lighter emo
tions. witchy and tempting in the frivol-
ity f'love, and the picturing and sound-'
ing OF the stronger passions expressed
with a fine restraint, Miss Nethersole
seemed to demonstrate anew her inherent
power as an emotional actress of schooi
that only the greater artists exempllfy.
The company Is excellent. with Mr.. Re-
velle in his original part OF Jean and Mr.. b.
Dodd surprisingly fine as Uncle Cesaire.
The performance runs with the smooth
ness that counterfeits nature-as smooth
as Miss Nethersoles own gldingly cat
like movements about the stage AS n
production, the dressing Of the piece is
elaborate and in excellent taste. There is
emiaent success i'm the creating of "at-
mosphere." from the brilliant opening Of
the costume ball at Dechelette's to the
pathetic remnant Of the little home that
was created only to be abandoned be-
cause happiness could not exist there for
all the love with which 1t was invested.
There is no new word TO be said about
"Sapho' IL has been done many times
here In various versions and the Fitch
play, with Miss Nethersole In the stellar
role, has also been seen here. 1t has
proved for this actress an important and
popular part and play and she is justified
in keeping it at the front OF her extensive
repertoire.
