II has often been observed that cats

FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW.

II married men continue 70 masquerade
as bachelors in the shameless fashion Of
the period it will be necessary TO devise
some method Of tagging them so that
those who run may read the signs. It
never seemed quite fair to ring an en-
gagged girl and a wife so conspicuously
that the densest wit could not mistake
them and leave men unmarked. to break
hearts where they please.
I do not pretend 20 say that tagging
would hold a tickle man TO the path of
virtue. but II might serve as a warning
10 women. There is no doubt that many
of our sex ignorantly fall victims 20 the
attentions of men who have no right 20
offer them. and that class would be saved
by a symbol as well-known as betrOthal
or wedding ring. The women who do not
care much for the rights OF their sisters
are not so many as 10 cause Widespread
sorrow.
Why not rings for engaged and mar
ried men? 1 am sure that tho average
woman would be glad 70 save her pocket
money for the purpose. merely as a safe
guard against possible complications. Men
are at a premium, so we are so continu-
ally reminded that We regard ourselves
as lucky when we annex one for our very
own. Then why not take better care Of
the prize when secured?

MASCOT REHEARSAL
PROMISES WELL

The general opinion of those who
witnessed the dress rehearsal of 'sThe
Mascot" last Saturday night is that it
was better than many other opening
night performances given in this city.
Of course this is not surprising as
1.-The Mascot" was all ready for pro-
duction early last week and was re-
hearsed with all the scenic effect and
in full costume, exactly the same as
it viii be produced on Thursday.
The principals of The Mascot form
probably as strong a company as can
be obtainable locally. They are ali old
hands having worked together on many
previous occasions, and so all know
exactly what is expected of them and.
better still, they do it. The chorus
also should come in for a share of
praise as it does really excellent work.
The Ma Cherie speciality extra and
the Pages Chorus are both pretty num-
bers
That the Opera House will be crowd
ed each nights goes without saying, the
sold tickets speaking for themselves
There are now only a very few seats
left for the first night and probably
after Thursdays performance tickets
for Saturday will be at premium.
