Who TsiIs Of Dramas Curse.
II do not believe that it is possible

great American DRAMA" said Frank
keenan,, the actor, at the meeting Of
the American Playgoers' society at the
Hotel Astor, in New York, the other
night, says the New York Tribune.
eve are too busy. We are laboring
under the curse of too much prosperity.
The great drama of the future will
portray how the people tried to be hap
by in this generation-not about the
people of the east side, but about the
Door millionaire, because he puts his
millions into a palace and has no
home"
The subject under discussion was
"While There Are Numerous American
Plays, There Is No American Drama,
and Mr.. keenan, said that the drama
Of any nation reflected the spirit of the
nation and the period that the drama
was written.
"The drama of any nation is Just as
good or as bad as the people are" he
said. 1.-The drama adjusts itself to the
times, and we have dramatists who
are capable of writing greater plays
than they do today. We have purer,
sweeter, more honest drama today than
has preceded it at any time"
Ibsen, keenan, said, would never live
as a dramatist, nor would any other
man who showed the ugly side of hui
mainly. Zone thing we can point to
with PRIDE" he said, land that is that
no drama is acceptable to the Ameri-
can people that is not clean drama"
Samuel Wandell said, II believe that
we are building drama in this coun-
try today which will compare favora-
bly, with any of the dramas Of the old
world"

house is just splendid. 1t will provide
a refuge when the count becomes too
pressing"
There was tightening of Elsie's lips
to which Isobel paid no heed. The I'M
minent protest was left unspoken. for
Courtenay's voice came to them:

treads the remainder of the day would
be compound of tears and sticking

left hand. 1sobel tripped up the steep
stairs. Elsie followed. Courtenay, who
had the manner and semblance of

mahogany and white paint. The wood
work of the deck was scrubbed until
it had the color of new bread. An Of

Somewhat to Isobel's surprise neither
man seemed to be aware Of her pres

throwing her birdlike glance over the
bright interior before she gave the
commander a look which was designed
to bewitch him instantly. Surely you
don't sleep here too?'

the ship, Miss Barring. We are always
wide awake here. My quarters are
farther aft. l think can find chair

and the fire burned low. At last she
gave in and went drowsily upstairs

There, snoring like a hurricane, her
husband lay. He had changed his mind
about going out and had gone to bed
early instead.

in merry laugh. Isobel bounced up

Finger Bowls Of Paper.

says finger bowls such as are used In
Japan are the newest necessity for the
table and "quite change" The fin

is pretty, however, says the New York
Press. 1t is tiny basket made Of
beautiful straw woven in an ornamen-

a filmy satin paper table napkin print
ed with blossoms and twisted into q
flowerlike shape The napkin has been
slightly dampened with perfumed wa

NEW MINERAL FOR AIRsHIPs
RutiIe, Discovered In Australia, May

Solve Many Problems.
The discovery in Australia of min
eral, rutile, heretofore Of no CONNER
cial value, promises to solve one of the
problems developed in airship build,
ing, says Washington correspondent
Of the New York Herald. 1t has been
found that axles and bearings in flying
machines when submitted to 5000 rev.
olutions to the minute wear and beat
SO rapidly as to make the substitution
of some metal capable of withstanding
this strain necessary.
This rutile, according to Consul F..
w. Cooling Of Newcastle, Australia, In
a report to the department Of COM
merce and labor, will fill this want. 1t
was discovered in the Tinaroo district
Of Queensland. 1t Is a titanium diox-
ide, containing from 10 to 90 per cent
Of titanic acid, chiefly depending on
the quantity Of iron present. Pure
rutile contains 90 per cent Of titanic
acid and per cent Of iron. The min
eral occurs with wolfram and tin and
is worth four times the price of vol
fran at the present time.
