If you have never seen The Wolf,

woods, from the pen of the latest con-
spicuoc1s find among playwrights, bril-

came to the Grand last night for two
performances and while the company
is not up to the mark set in the local
presentation last year, it is a good
company and gives an intelligent in
depreciation of the beautiful lines, pure
lyric in spots, the effective situations,
and the exquisite sentiment, which,
above all else, characterizes this play,
and exalts its some times cheap de-
wees and false conceptions. AS Jules

by no means condemnatory, for that

by only two or three of the top-notch-
ers of the theatrical world which ia

rarely fair and always odious. The

hIaher Social Slavery

Mrs. Howard Gould's admission that she "could not dress properly on less than .000 a years is interesting as showing how severe are the sartorial obligations which the possession of wealth imposes on women.
 Under this gilded martyrdom to fash - ion she was obliged to change her cos tunes three times a day at Palm Beach
 lingerie, gowns, shoes, hats, para sols and all'-not because of Ian ex- travagant taste but merely because 'it is bad form to wear a gown twice in one place." Moreover, by the unwritten law of smart social usages her Palm Beach trousseau was wholly unavaila- ble at the St. Regis. Her gowns were mo good" after she had once worn them, and to reappear in them at New York hotel would be in violation of tn 6 proprieties of dress. They were equal ly worthless at Castle Gould, where tn 0 conditions of life on country estate demanded gowns to correspond.
 Mrs. Gould's testimony corroborates the criticisms of foreign writers on American social extravagance. But what they have failed to recognize is the patient submission of fashions thralls to their bondage. There should be commiseration rather than criticism for those whose slavery is none the less real because the bonds are of lace and chiffon.

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch. Trust to Capt. Charles Thompson of Miami, Fla, for exciting adventures with denizens of the deep blue sea. He has had many of them, partly because he makes a business of hunting freak fish, etc., and partly because he cannot help it, but his greatest triumph came re- 1 gently when he tackled and landed the largest hammerhead shark ever seen in or about that part, dead or alive. The monster measured 16 feet in length and weighed in the neighborhood of 2OOO pounds.
 The story of the capture of this giant shark, true in every word of 1t, makes the yarns of writers of fiction pale into insignifcance. It was an experience few would care to encounter.
 Early in the morning Capt. Thompson went to sea in his 9 foot dory in quest of green turtle. He was accompanied by his brother-in-law, and when half a mile off shore he ran Into school or hundred hammerhead sharks. Singling out the largest one in the school, Capt. Thompson, standing in the bow of the boat drove his harpoon deep into the back of the monster. The shark was then not more than 15 feet away from the boat and immediately it began to fight. With the first rush it struck the bow of the craft, and not be- ing prepared for an attack, Capt. Thomp- son was knocked overheard.
 A number of other sharks in the school were near at hand, but Thompson is just about as good a swimmer as they, and he was back aboard in few seconds Then the fight began. Back and forth up and down the beach. off shore and in shore, the monster lowed the dory as if it were a chip.
 Sometimes Capt Thompson would get near enough to jab the shark with a light pair of grains, inficting only skin wounds, while at others it would have out every foot of line attached to the harpoon imbedded deeply in the back, towing the boat at fearful speed through the water
 At the same time the whole school of sharks were taking part in the chase. Their wounded companion was bleeding freely, and the smell of blood drew them on. They attacked it viciously, striking and tearing it's body. One monster, nearly as large as the prey, almost severed its tail at one stroke, while hun dreds of wounds were made in it's side and belly by smaller sized sharks.
 At times it looked as If the boat would be attacked so frenzied were they by the smell of blood and hunger for food The predicament of the two men in the launch was anything but pleasant. They virtually placed their lives at stake, but Capt. Thompson held on.
 Gradually the monster weakened. The unequal fight, a harpoon in its back and a hundred or more of its own kind snap ping and gnawing its life away, was too much. and about six hours after the iron had been hurled into its body it ceased to fight and was hauled up at the stern of the boat, dead.
 A heavy rope was then made fast be- hind it's gills and fins, and towing it be- hind, Capt. Thompson started for shore.

has been too hard on them, and their life is wearisome. and they are sick of that self in which they have lived too much.
 They want to wipe the slate clean and begin all over again. They want to get away. It becomes a morbid haunting thought It grows stronger and moro obsessing, but they hide 1t as a guilty thing from those who sit opposite at ta- ble or from their bedfellows. The lit- tie things of life are done mechanically They seem quite sane and level headed But all the while there is a voice calling them to come away-somewhere, anyhow. They must escape!
 And so one day the respectable and respected husband, the good father, the quiet daughter, steal away, without 8 word, and go wandering Sometimes they are cunning. with the cunning Of madness Sometimes they just walk out into the streets and take a railway ticket or a steamer ticket, not careful to hide their traces, but careless of everything except that one terrible. resistless desire which drives them away.
 It is a tragedy for those who have been left behind. There are wives who have been waiting day after day and year af- ter year for knock on tho door and the sound of their husbands footsteps and his voice saying, "I have come back again, my dear" There are mothers who have been waiting for the missing son and daughter. who have never been found, though half lifetime has gone by.
 What has happened to those missing people? Some of them have built up new lives in new places, hiding that old life and self like the secret of a crime. Others have escaped through the great gate which is closed after all who en- ter in. They have taken the easiest and the saddest way
