La Otra pequena atrocidad, es la 81
guiente: Ell criterio para retirar las
obras del cartel no sera otro que el ingre-
so en- taquilla. Isl? Pues ivive DiOs |!
que para ESQ no hacfa falta teatro sub
venciOnado, y ese criterio es ell de cual-
quier empresario negociante y aun no tan
a punta de perro chico. Seg1n ese cri-
teriO, muy expuestos estaran Lope de
Vega, Calder6n ell mism1simO Sha-
kespeare, a tener que ceder el sitio mas
que q paso a cualquier bufonada me-
lodrama de p1blico Todos creiamOs
que, justamente, la subvenci6n serla pa
ra ESQ; para imponer una obra de arte,
cuando el dinero del p1blico no bastara
a sostenerla.
Con ese criterio, ell Museo de Pintu-
ras va debiera de estar cerradO 8 ha-
berse sustituido por un "cine"; isl Sc
fuera a juzgar del merito de Velazquez
por el n1mero de entradas vendidas pa
Id tcI SllS Cud1lTOS!
Claro es que no hay autor vivo que
no crea sus obras del mas sOberanO arte,
y todos pretenderian verlas perpetuarse
en- el cartel, costa del Estado. Ell cri-
terio del ingreso es ell mas SECURE. . La
obra de usted es una 0bra de arte, pero
no ola tres pesetas. Nal, muy NAL
van a pasarlo nuestros clasicos, con Sha-
kespeare, Moliere, Ibsen, ETC., en- el nuevo

Los vivos, los verdaderos vivos, me-
nos NAL, va Sc ingeniaran para tomar-
lie ell aire al abono, al p1blico la di-
reccl0n artlstica; y ell teatro subvenciO-
nado sera... un teatro mas Y es 10 me
nos malO que puede sucederle.
C0nste que en- NADIA de 10 dicho, hay
ell menor deseo de destripar ell cuento.

WASHINGTON STATE GIRL, LOOK

A LETTER AND MAY FIND A
MATE.

La Crosse, Wis, March "a
Maude Barbee, a fruit packer of Top
penish, Wash, wants a husband. and
she has taken to seeking him through
the apples she packs. When Malsin
Hoff, the only unmarried clerk In
local grocery store, unpacked a box
of apples here he found this note:
Hello. dear friend. AS I just got
through packing this box of apples I
thought that I would write you a few
lines. Please write to me when you
get this box of apples and tell me
how much you paid for them If /
hear from you I will send you a box
of peaches next year Gree Of
charges). Please let me hear from
you. Your intended sweetheart.
MAUDE BARBEE."
Hoff says he is game, and will
write to the girl and ask for her
picture, and if she is not altogether
too hideous there may be something
doing, for Hoff is something of a ro-
mancer himself.

GOOD LOOKS FOR
u ~ ~. ~ ~. THE ELDERLY
Care of Hair and Skin Essential

have paid in the increased courage Of
the mind in battling with adverse cir
cumstances, and i'll the effect it has on
the family
Time wreaks itself upon the hair and
skin of a woman. 1t is a characteristic
of the hair of some families to turn gray
very early, even between twenty-five and
thirty-fve. The hair begins to show
silver threads as rule between thirty
five and forty, ard from then on to
gradually become more and more gray
about the temples and forehead. until
between forty=hve and fifty it is often
uniformly white, except at the back,
which does not turn completely white
for years. ~
Do Not Try to Restore Gray Hair
1t is a mistake for the elderly TO dye
the hair. The tone of the complexion
will quarrel with any other tint of hair
than that which Nature furnishes, and
the. result, in. a majority of cases. is TO
make the. person who. colors the hair

ON of my correspondents WHO has
" passed her threcscore years of life
has written, asking me CORRECTIONS to i'm
prove her skin, saying, "Notwithstand-
ing my years, l wish to look as well
as | can" This should be the desire
of everyone, regardless OF age. One
ought - look as well as possible, not
because OF vanity, but because it adds
much to MS or her value as member
of society. But the greater reason IS
that the care for personal beauty in
wolves, as a general thing, an added
amount of health of body and mind
Women as they grow older too often
become more and more negligent of
their appearance. Mothers with the in
creasing cares of family are apt to
pay so little attention to their person
that they are actually untidy. Some
often practice self-denial and spend
money on the children, but neglect to
clothe themselves becoIningly
With hard work and lack of means it
becomes well-nign heroic feat to keep
up decent appearances, yet 1rhave. seen
it done; and the results of the effort

THE ETIQUETTE OF
ENGAGEMENTS
Proper Fashion of Announcing the Event

man has followed the prophecies in ask
ing the consent of the young girls
father, or Of her mother, II the father IS
not living. This IS in accordance with
MS own self-respect and the respectful
consideration CT the parents OF his
fsucee. He should state in a manly,
straightforward way what are his pres
snt circumstances ana what are his
prospects OF supporting a wife.
We will suppose that the parents have
given their approval of the engagement
The NEXT step to be considered IS the
announcing Of the engagement and IN
this matter it S advisable that the event
should be made known soon, even
though the marriage may be deferred
