FAD FOR TATTOO MARKS
tinctive to Have Their Bodies
Decorated.

The very newest fad at Newport
is to have the arm or the shoulder
decorated with a movable tattoo
design the barbaric red and blue Of
which brings the beauty of the skin
into strong relief, and the consterna
ton occasioned when Newport So
ciety men first saw what they
thought was an ineradicable blemish
upon the arms or shoulders of their
feminine friends, has given rise to a
great amount of talk on the general
subject of tattooing. In the hubbub
many carefully concealed secrets
have leaked out, and it has developed
that the number of men who have no
tattoo marks upon their bodies are
fewer than anybody imagined, and
those men so decorated are not
among the sailor or laboring classes
altogether, either, but are in a re-
markedly large number of cases of
gentle birth and breeding. Most of
them acquired the decorations when
they were boys out of spirit of
youthful bravado, and some of them
carry souvenirs of adventures of one
kind or another in the carefully
etched blue or red designs upon their
arms.

Mansfield Interprets Tbsen.

From The Minneapolis Bellman.
The drama. or epic of Peer Gynt' IS
a lesson against selfishness." said Mr.
Mansfield. Peer is the egotist who, re-
gardless Of others thinks Of himself only:
his desires and ambitions. In the end he
learns that no kaiserdOm, or wealth. and
no Disqualification can bring lasting
happiness; and that peace Of mind, eter-
nal love. and salvation of the soul
transcend all earthly goods. Into Peer
Gynt' the mind OF the individual reader
throws the reflection Of his own life cur
rents, and the study thereupon becomes
complex and speculative philosophy. II Is
the limitless ocean of human experience
which has its huge waves of great emo
tion, its placid bays Of content, its storms
and sunshine. 1t never looks the same TO
two different minds. It never is the same.
Hence, Peer Gynt. the simple story. be

A Ponce de Leon of the Stage.

Henry Z. Dixey's friends assert that
he looks as young and acts as young
as he did tEenty years ago, when he
was dubbed Adonis for personal. as well
as professional reasons. The Washing
ton public will know more on this sub
ject after they have seen him at the
BelasCo this week. Dixey himself seems
10 think he has solved the problem OF
keeping young. for he has put out
recipe that viii enable others TO go and
do likewise. At least, Dixey says it will.
Here is the recipe IN the actors own
words:
Don't worry, That is the whole secret.
Always be cheerful and happy, for as
the slangy boy said. The worst is yet
10 come No matter how bad things
look, there is always some redeeming
feature OF the situation If you'll only
stop to think Of il. There is always some
reason to laugh If you only know
enough to find out what It IS. and then
obliterate all the other phases Of the
situation from your mind.
Perhaps III have to take back my first
statement and give half the credit for
preserving the same appearance for twen-
ty years 10 the faculty of seeing the
funny side of things and laughing at
them. Exercise and hygienic diet are
very we'll in their way, no doubt. but
for me, the ability not to worry and the
ability to laugh are much more desir-
able. Whoever saw a man who was al
ways laughing with gray hair. or lines
OF care making railroad tracks all over
his counteuance? And whoever saw a
man that kept from worrying who was
not success in whatever he undertook?
Fate simply cannot keep people with
those two qualities from getting the very
best Of everything
All Of which IS interesting, but a good
dea! of it fails to square with expert
ence and observation. But, then, one
can't expect scientific accuracy from
