Determined on remaining in power, the Neri in secret meeting de- cided to ask the Pope to seek the aid of the growing power of France. In other words, the church must appeal to the civil power to secure the safety of it's spiritual interests The Bianchi, struck with ap' prehension as to the results of such meas ures arm themselves and appeal to the priors, demanding punishment of their ad- versaries in matters of state. The blacks, equally insistent, secure arms and de- mand of the priors that the other party be punished as disturbers of the public tranquility A solution seems hopeless.

 Thus dread and danger become general. and at the advice of Dante, the Priors banish the leaders of both factions; a local and ineffective remedy for the gen. eral manifestation of universal dscord. In this action Dante was accused of partiality to the Bianchi party, and when those of that party who were exiled were allowed to return on account of the death of one of their number suspicion against him was aroused, and, while he was no longer in office as Prior, the Pope used this pretext to call in the power of France to aid one of the banished parties. Charles of Valois is accordingly dispatched to Florence and through his intervention the ex-citizens are restored to their city and the whole of the Bianchi party driven in- to exile. In the meantime, Dante had

 costumes had been donned, clad as she had been in the last act, in a grlish sum- mer frock of white chiffon with pleated founces and a girdle of sage green. A smiling maid was gathering up gowns and wraps and putting things to rights for the early departure Wednesday morning. The fragile, graceful figure, regarding herself in the glass, turned to greet me with the most gracious manner possible. There was little trace of the makeup which goes so far to make or destroy the im pression of exquisite refinement-a re- fnement which the tones of her low, clear voice in the brief telephone chat that aft ernoon and the dainty appealing feminin- ity which characterized her fnterpreta- tion of the part in which she appeared that evening, had led me to expect. Her voice is really one of her most mag netic assets. It is perfectly modulated and gentle, but with suggestion of vivid strength "The Stronger Sex" by the way enjoyed great popularity in Lon don, where it is said the heroine was played with the artificial Yankee twang which English audiences like to believe Is American. Miss Russell made no at tempt to give it the foreign touch, and was thus the more delightful in the role.
 She is one of the slenderest. most fragile women that I have ever seen, but her slimness with it's attendant grace is fas- cinating. Her face,[ which no one ever called pretty. Is earnest, and with a winning sweetness, while 1t is also vivid, alert and intellectual. It is essentially the face of a student, and it's lines tell of hard work and some sorrow. Her eyes are bright and sparkling, of the softest brown tint and very steadfast and se- rious while she looks at one with that appearance of interest that is a subtle fiattery.
 Knowing how she regards the dis comforts of travel attendant upon one night stands and ill-ventilated cars and that she had that day had a fatiguing journey from Chattanooga, I asked if she liked the southern audiences. She became enthusiastic. ."I love their en- thusiasm, their appreciation, their freshness. I need the spontaneity of their applause. The New York au- diences are getting blase. Oh. If I did not like the southern audiences and the southern people I should certainly never submit to the inconvenience of travel as I am doing"

That "the public demands the smiling actress" was the airy statement of Miss Annie Russell in a magazine of the month. Recalling this, I was particular ly impressed with the witching smile that at intervals transfgured her pointed Puck-like face the other evening in her presentation of "The Stronger Sex" The character of Mary runs the gamut of the emotions as nearly as one could ex- pect in a society play, hence 1t gives ann pie scope for smiles of many meanings. There Is never a time, however, whether she is roguish, teasing, buoyantly happy or simply vlvacious that, to me, she al together loses that serious. plaintive ex- pression that was all the more evident when in the intimate nearness of her dressing room ehatted with her after the play.
 She was waiting for me in the little cuddy hole in which all those exquisite

The seat Of honor Is always occupied
by the gentleman. The Westerner Is
apt to infer, therefore, that women In
Japan are not duly respected, and are
under the iron hand Of man. Nothing
could be further from the truth.
There are exceptions, Of course, but
the japanese woman Is so educated
that the less she can show OF her intlu-
ence over her husband the better for
thatintiuence and for her own standing
The model type of woman is she who
eXerts her influence by the mute elo-
Quence Of duties well performed"
Women there are who would be just as
outspoken and demonstrative Of their
influence over men as their kinsfolk of
the West, but such in Japan belong
only to the lower classes. The higher
the station Of life the more humble and
modest Will be the demeanor of the
woman. The mannish woman receives
Just as much contempt as the cffcmin-
ate man. The suhdued appearance the
japanese wife generally presents to nm

London Judges Somewhat sing
ular Claim to Fame


The cable tells that a certain London
Judge boasts that he never has used a
telephone. We forbear to give his

that such stupid blockhcad occupies

1t is farthings to sovereigns that this
Southwark judge eats with his knife
ana never has used a napkin at his
meals. Indeed, in some OF the high
priced London restaurants Englishmen
are not served with napkins unless they
especially order them. Then they are
notified that they will be charged
"tuppence extra" for the luxury! Most
Americans are supplied with servIcttcs
without inquiry, but the napkin is al
ways charged in tho bill.

her husband and also OF respect she
commands from him.
In most cases the woman IS the soul
Of the household. She Is held respon-
sible for the health and education Of
the children, not only before they are
old enough TO attend the school, but
even afterward. But the living moral
power and sentiment are principally the
fruit Of the mothers daily effort.
The housewife In Japan, say with
two or three children has very little
time for society. In fact, society life,
as it Is understood in Europe and
America, has no existence In real
Japan. The sense of responsibility the
wife feels for the welfare of her hus-
band and children Is too great to allow
of personal pleasure to the exclusion of
duty. The wife so inclined is sure to
become subject OF remark by her
neighbors

THE WOMEN OF JAPAN.
Essentially Home-Lovers. with Little
Time for Society.

In observing the woman In japanese
society It must be borne in mind that
what appears on the surface is mostly
the reverse OF actual conditions, writes
j. Russell Kennedy. A correct esti-
mate Of the social relationship Of man
and woman in Japan cannot he formed
without a careful study of home life,
which to an alien is very hard to I'M
derstand. or even to see.
Reports sent abroad by foreign OBJ
servers have mostly been founded on
what could be seen and judged accord
ing to our standards. For instance,
when a husband and wife are. seen
walking on the streets the latter is al
most always the parcel bearer and the
husband goes free-handed, generally
few steps ahead of his wife, as If she
were his servant Again, in going into
house or room, it is the husband who
enters first ana the wife follows him.
