Manners and Customs That Strike a
American as Peculiar

Manners and Customs That Strike "a
American as Peculiar.
It's not the play or the acting Or the
applause that attracts and holds the
attention OF the American who Is at
tending for the FIRST time Partisan
opening. 1t Is the audience. IN the
first place, the predominanee Of men
in the best orchestra seats win provoke
question which brings forth the In
formation 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. as far
as It Is possible. the box ONCE fayors

Ipally because they do not wear hats
and do NOT therefore obstruct the view
of those sitting behind, Before the
curtain goes up the stranger gianees
about and is surprised to discover jew
els and gowns decollete in the highest
balconies, the part Of the theater
known in America as peanut heay-
en-" Both men and women. dressed
as for a grand ball, are perched away
W At lsast three lights Of stairs, and
during entractes 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 inn
Dortant opening is enough to give a
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 entraetes
the men who do not join the prom
enade stand up and don their hats the
moment the curtain Is down, and they
spend the entire twenty or twenty five
minutes inspecting their neighbors
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 orchestra
rows and family circles the men and
the women stand up, and opera glasses
are used freely by both. and many lit
tie firtations are enjoyed between
those in the balconies. or loges, and
those on the first floor
1t is not considered rude to level
glasses at any one, whether within n
few feet or up in the balcony, but 1t is
rather considered 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 manner, but It is equally
true that in the eyes of an American
the toughest cowboy possesses a bet

No one can live long in Bombay
without observing the freedom from
restraint that is evident among the
users Of scales and weights. Scales Of
all sorts may be seen, some with wood
en- beams, evidently homemade, others
OF recognized pattern, on which are
used chunks Of stone and odd pieces
Of iron by way of weights. Silver
smiths. according to the Indian Textile
Journal, still use the red seed Of the
acacia or the wild licorice for weigh
ing the precious metals, obIivlous OF the
fact that the weight Of seeds is not
constant and that they may readily be
exchanged for others of less or more
weight.
