Eats EN- Alive.

The late W. B. Proctor, the soap million
aire, imputed a part of his success to his
soaps popularity among children.
Mr. Proctor claimed that habits Of scrup-
ulous cleanliness could be formed in chill
dren If, at first, they were paid to battle.
He had at the tip of his tongue a number
Of amusing anecdotes about the extraordi-
narily mercenary character OF the small
boy.
One of these anecdotes concerned q little
chap who came to his mother one day for q
nickel.
oh" said the lady. "be Industrious and
earn your money. l am tired Of always
giving, giving to YOU"
The youngster departed in thoughtful
silence. Thereafter for some time he did
not make a single demand for cash. His
pleased mother discovered the reason for
this obedience late one afternoon, when, In
a secluded part of the garden, she found
her little son standing in the center of an
appreciative crowd of urchns.
Directly behind him, quite neatly printed
on cardboard and tackled to the arbor, was

standpoint A literal translation of the title
means Let be divorced This IS the
sentiment of Cyprienne, wife of Henri des

siiulJ years. She concludes that matrimony
is a failure, because il lacks the excitement
that had attended her wooing. Her huS-

excitement she longs for in the attachment
of h'r handsome cousin, Adhemar. Wheh

ordinary love. mo" says the author,
when my hero David Murray. who typi-

with Judith Zaraine, and, casting off greed
and cruelty and ambition like a garment of

Although my play takes place in the

author adds, sit is not an American play.
l only put my people in Pennsylvania be-
cause a political background is required
which America can supply. On the other
hand, my military monster character
tremendously important in the piece, is
more European than American, and will
probably be difficult for New York theater-
goers to swallow. However, he is needed
in the play. and American theatergoers

Well, well, what terrible creature that
military monster" must be! The worst of
it is, too. that the heroine finds he is only
sort of screen for the trust. For, says
Mcclellan: The purely personal part of my
drama lies in the fact that Judith believ-
ing that the military monster is her enemy
and the prosecutor of her beloved people,
gradually discovers that he is only a fig
urehead of infamy, and that he is really
controlled and guided by David Murray.
And when she advances to avenge her own
and the peoples wrongs she finds her hand
uplifted, not against the she hates. but
against the one she loves. This, / say.
is the personal and theatrical part of the
play, and does not seem to me SO interesting
or important as the spiritual idea that
something so fendishly unromantic as the
Standard Oil Company may be prompted to
differentiation by religious suggestion,
the suggestion being suddenly symboiized
in the form of a handsome girl of sanity
attributes and artistic pose
What pity that the author himself is
not handsome girl" so that some the

by religious suggestion to accept and
produce his play! AS it is, one fears 1t

In a French Theater.
From Leslie's Weekly,

But 1t is not the play nor the acting nor
the applause that attracts and holds the
attention of the American who is attend
ing for the first time a Partisan opening
1t Is the audience. In the first place, the
predominance of men in the best orchestra
seats Will provoke a question which brings
forth the Information that In the majority
OF the better class theaters in Paris the
first three rows Of the orchestra are sold
almost exclusively to men, and, so far as
It Is possible, the box Office favors men
for the body OF the house, principally be-
cause they do not wear hats and do not,
therefore, obstruct the view of those sit
ting behind Before the curtain goes up the
stranger glances about, and Is surprised
to discover jewels and gowns decollete in
the highest balconies, the part of the thea
ter known in America as peanut heaven"
Both men and women dressed as for a
grand ball are perched away up at least
three flights of stairs, and during entr'-
acteS they come down and promenade
with the others and visit their friends, and
few are the wiser as to the location of
their seats. The very fact of being present
at an important opening is enough to give
certain social precedence, even though
they sat on the rafters or chung to the
chandeliers.
Another feature which attracts the
American is that during the entra ctes the
men who do not join the promenade stand
up and don their hats the moment the cur
tain is down. and they spend the entire
twenty twenty-five minutes inspecting
their neighberS through opera glasses.
There is much activity in the balconies and
in the boxes caused by the social calls
which are being exchanged. In the orches-
ira rows and family circles the men and
the women stand up, and opera glasses are
used freely by both, and many little firta-
tons are enjoyed between those in the bal
comics or loges and those on the first floor.
1t is not considered rude to level glasses
at any one. whether within few feet or
up in the balcony, but it is rather consid-
cred a compliment to the face, or more
often the shoulder, that attracts such
close inspection. 1t is true that the French
are famed for their polished manners, but
it is equally true that, in the eyes of an
American, the toughest cowboy possesses
a better appreciation of refinement than
the dapperest member of the French no.

laurels in the same roles formerly, and that

Others who will be allotted important
roles will be Edith Bradford, in the comedy

Lincoln's Way.

William T. Stead was talking in New
York about the worlds governments
There is some truth in the saying" he
concluded, that nations have the govern
ments they deserve. Good government Is
impossible without unselfish work, without
self-sacrifice, on the part of the citizens.
What governments. need are citizens of
the Lincoln stamp.
Lincoln, at the commencement of the
awful war that you are soon to commem-
crate, was much abused by one of his gen.
erals, Pennsylvania. He was even open
ly insulted by this man.
I'm his splendid way he put up with that
mistreatment imperturbably. But when the
thing kept on and on, growing more and
more fragrant. his friends demonstrated with
him. They told him he was suffering more
than was reasonable or right.
But Lincoln only smiled his odd, sad,
humorous smile.
"I'u hold Gen. IS horse for him. he
said. if lie will only bring US success"
