BUTTON THEIR OWN WAISTS.
New York Women Have surmounted
Great Obstacle.

Marvellous as 1t may seem, New
York women have lately discovered
way Of fastening their waists up the
back without calling for assistance.
Thought not lacking in generosity. they
became 80 tired OF the outstretched
palm of the chambermaids that they
now feel that 1t is time to guard their
pockets. The Gotham woman discov-
cred that II she put her blouse on
hind side before, with the sleeves
hanging free, it could be fastened
{, from top to bottom, with the 'excep-
tion Of the hooks at the neck, and
then turned around and the arms
slipped into the sleeves without un.
duly straining the fastenings. So sim
pie! So strange that no one had
thought OF 1t before. Or is Impossible
other women hsSesused the plan and
meaplys kept It to sthemselvess VIII

dramatlst's art Ii one In which genius
there are Il few names which stand 80
very high In dramatic glory that they
put all other claimants to greatness out
of countenance; but, aside from the
Greeks and Shakespeare, there have
been In all lands and ages dramatists
the like of whose genius exhibited In
any art would enttle them to lmmor-
tally. We may claim this for several,
certainly, OF our English playwriters
Of earlier days The Germans have
had their great dramatists In the past,
and | have warm admiration for
Hauptmann and Sudermann today, but
today has not given another Goethe
nor Schiller The French will insist
TINT Racine, Cornellle and Moliere are
among the worlds greatest men-and
they would be right.
"Curiously enough, though France
has had great dramatists, she has had
fewer great poets, either lyric or epic,
than her commanding intellectual fer
tility might have led us to expect, and
yet one would have expected that the
spirit Of France would inevitably have
expressed itself in poetry.
''This, again, is another manifesta-
ton Of the mysterious workings OF ma
turc In the phrase we use nowadays.
You cannot attempt to prophesy the
appearance OF genius. 1t will emerge
in accordance with no laws which we
can detect. Favorable, even insistent
and clamorous, conditions do not beget
It, nor when 1t appears Is 1t likely to
take the course conditions would seem
to have made inevitable for 1t. II
ought to revive the drama, but Instead,
perhaps, 1t paints pictures. 1t ought to
compose poetry, but, 10, 1t prefers to In
vent machines!
"In this Is one of the great problems.
All our meditatlng upon 1t goes no way
at oil toward solving It, yet IL Is
| problem with which the mind may
well concern itself, for the characters
OF civilizations and the destinies of ma
| tions are involved In 1t. Human genius,

and the aspect which when 1t appears

/ Of all this except that:
