What Generosity Means.

Many people get the credit of being generous who never felt a single gen. erous impulse in their lives" says a close student of human nature.
 Their generosity, so called, has con sisted simply in formal. cold. grudging almsgiving. carried out at the call of duty and uBaccompanied by any spon- taneous burst of feeling or sympathy.
 'The highest generosity Is full of strong. unhesitating self cffacement and always inspires, except in debased na- lures, feelings of gratitude and affec- ton. Almsgiving is one of the least of it's attributes. II more often takes the form of helpfulncss. sympathy and understanding. II gives forth compas- sion and encouragement of a kind which is far beyond money value
 The secret of generosity is unseifish- ness. and the way to acquire it is to cultivate universal love and sympathy" St Paul Pioneer Press

poet made his women idealistic and that he placed them side by side with men as mems co-workers and inspir- CTS. He said that the poets Queen Catherine is his typical domestic character, that Lady Macbeth is typical of the ambitious woman, and that Portia is the typical all-round ideal woman. He developed the char acteristics of the different women by quotations. He maintained that Lady Macbeth was not meant for the murderous woman that she Is often depicted to be, but that she was a highly cultured, ambitious woman who committed murder at the insti- gation of her husband because of her devotion to him. He said that the fact that her murder broke her whole life and resulted In her suicide is proof that the crime was contrary to her nature.

 Eddie Foy played MT Hamlet of Broadway" at the New York Casino Wednesday night to an audience that filled the theater. MT Hamlet of Broadway" is described as a "mu- sical whimsicality" and credit Is given on the programme to Edgar Smith for the book, Edward Madden for the lyrics and Ben M. Jerome for the score. Ned Wayburn staged it., and that implies a large and acrobatic chorus which is never allowed to rest when 1t is on the stage. The book has something to do with sum- mer hotel-a very bad summer hotel in the Adirondacks. It is so bad that in order to keep his guests from escaping the proprietor encourage them in an amateur performance of Hamlet" and promises to supply an eminent actor to take the name part. The eminent actor fails to appear, but Joey Wheeze (Mr Foy), a strand Amelia, is quite willing to take the part of Hamlet or anything else for money. All this leads up to d bur lesque of the tragedy in the second act, and it was then that MT FOy fur nished his chief surprise of the night. Instead of making his Dane a buffOon in appearance he dressed the part as soberly as Sothern and looked far more dignified than Broadway has hitherto known him. Incidental to the troubles of the hotel keeper were two or three love affairs, one of which served to couple the smallest soubrette in musical comedy, Daphne Pollard. with a six foot baritone John H. Pratt They sang a duet Under the Honeymoon" with a kissing accompaniment, and the au- dience's back ached in sympathy with Mir Pratt. Mir Foy sang, or rather spluttered, ill his familiar way, three songs, Everything Depends on Money" When l Was Kid Like You" and "Nobody's Got Anything On Me" The last named called for a chorus of Hamlets and Ophelias and compared MT Foy and Otis Skin her to the latter's disadvantage. His best liked number was the kid song.

The realism that invariably char acterizes Lyman II. Howes Lifeorama to be seen in Polls on Tuesday, De- cember 29, makes the spectator feel he Is really seeing the original. The sense of witnessing an entertainment disappears entirely. The new pro gramme Is liberal education it. self and d delight to the eye. It Is almost with regret that one leaves certain panorama resplendent with beauty for still stranger scenes in other lands.
