A member of a publishing house is
telling a story which he says goes
to show that the spread of the popu

SAME OLD VAUDEVILLE.
Ancient Basis Remains, Although
Lantern Slides Are COlOred.

Ancient Basis Remains, Although
Lantern Slides Are ColOred.
The code Of vaudeville as we know
1t to-day harks back to the year when
Maggie Cline was first discovered in
the bullrushes of Broadway by one
of the descendants of Pharaoh's daugh.
ter, says the Bohemian. Although
some of the code has been altered al
various times by supes and supersti.
tions, although slapsticks have given
way to Salomes and clothes to steam
heated stages, the basis of it remains
intact.
Advanced" vaudeville has advanc
ed only In prices. The clog dance has
not been lost in the shuttle the drol
curtain showing a desolate street
scene, has not been peopled by the
painter despite the great growth in
the population; the xylophone players
still conclude with a medley of pa
triotic airs; the grandchildren of a
score Of different worlds champion
acrobatic troupes" are still on the bill
under the same caption; the German
comedian continues to ask the German
ditto the same variety of questions
periodically swatting him in the face
with the same newspaper; and the
hobo species of monologist still strikes
a match on his whiskers. There is
one new feature; the lantern slides
that illustrate the Rose and Sue type
Of songs are colored nowadays, but the
singer still quivers the note at the
end of the second last line of the
chorus.-From "The Ten Command
ments of Vaudeville" in the Bohe
mian.

"Yesm, cannedl" he repeated.
Canned! Extinguished! Bushleagued.

college kid from New Haven sent 'em
up crooked from tn firm line. We
never used crooked ones in tn old
days, ma'am. They was new to me.
Up to that time l was a hero, but just
because l fell down that once and

SOUL AND BODY.

Where vert thou, Soul, ere yet my
body born
Became thy. dwelling place? Didst
thou on earth,
Or in the clouds, await this bodys
birth?
Or by what chance upon that winters
morn
Didst thou this body find, babe for
lorn?
Didst thou in sorrow enter or in
mirth?
Or for a jest. perchance, to try its
worth
Thou tookest flesh, ne'er from 1t to be
torn?
Nay, Soul, will not mock thee; well
I know
Thou vert not on the earth. nor In
the sky
For with my body's growth thou, too,
didst grow;
But with that body's death wilt thou
too die?

Her delight in these two prosaic
realms led her to make a study of ac-
counting, and her work on the sched-
ule Of the tariff bill Is remembered
with something akin to awe by all her
friends.
OF fine singers and graceful dancers
there Is no lack among the fair daugh-
ters Of Washington, but there are sew
eral who excel their friends in these
two arts. The most gifted dancer in
Washington is Miss Olga Converse
daughter of the late Admiral Converse
After her appearance in the amateur
play, 1--WE Are in Society,"" Miss Con-
verse received offers from several Of
the biggest theatrical managers in the
United States, who put forth great in
ducements to tempt her to join their
productions. The hit she made would
have turned the head of almost any
other girl. Miss Converse is true
daughter Of Terpsichore, and her twin
king feet are capable of evolutions
which even the most graceful Of her
friends are not able to rival.

Accommodating. A

An American was showing some al
tist friends from Munich the sights of
New York. AS they stood in front of
the Shakespeare statue in Central
Park, discussion arose whether the
figure was resting upon its right or its
left leg.
"Er steht auf dem rechten bein."
"Nein," retorted another, "er steht
auf dem linken bein.'
"Auf dem rechten," argued several.
"Auf dem linken," retorted the 9th
er faction.
An American gentleman, overhear-
ing the dispute, came over and polite
ly tipped his hat. Excuse me, gentle
men," he said, "but this isn't Lincoln,
this is Shakespeare" ."-Hy. Mayer, in
Success Magazine.

The claim that Washington women
are the most generously talented and
variously cultivated Of any in the
country Is borne out, the Washington
Post says, by a knowledge Of the
tastes and capabilities of many wom-
en- who are regarded chiefly as charm
fng hostesses or admired bellies.
The most notable instance of a
Washington woman of leisure who has
made a name for herself, not only
throughout the country, but also
throughout the world, is, of course,
Miss Mabel Boardman. Although she
has always sought to keep herself in
the background so far as the affairs of
the society are concerned, Miss Board
man is admittedly the whole show"
In Red Cross affairs. President Taft,
who has been for several years the
head Of the organization, gladly gives
the credit for much Of the success to
Miss Boardman. To a man-and all
the other members OF the central com
mittee OF the organization are men
the governing body Of the Red Crosi
delights to sing Miss Boardman's
praises. Few Of those who meet her
socially realize that Miss Boardman's
mornings are invariably devoted to
the work at Red Cross headquarters,
and that she works as hard as any
paid employe Of the organization.
Not many persons are aware that
the first lady of the land, Mrs. Taft,
has diploma from the Cincinnati
Conservatory Of Music which entities
her to teach. Mrs. Taft is perhaps the
finest pianist among the smart set,
and has paid much attention to the
development of her talent AS Miss
Helen Heron in Cincinnati she was
noted for her interpretations of the
masterpieces of musical literature.
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1909-10-08

Musicians also concede her ability,
and as a concert pianist Mrs. Taft
might, had she chosen to do so, have
become almost as well known to the
people of the United States as she
now Is.
Miss Helen Taft is still so young
that her talents and tastes are little
known to the public. She inherits the
fondness for study which Is inherent
in the Taft family. and has always
been among the leaders in the classes
of the schools which she has attended.
In addition to her scholastic pursuits,
Miss Taft is an authority on old china,
and is quite capable Of writing a trea-
tise which would be valuable as a
guide to collectors.
Mrs. James Bryce, wife of the Brit
ish ambassador, holds first place in
Washington as maker of salads. In
this much appreciated art she has
shown an inventiveness that amounts
to genius, and her skill has given
her the place pre-eminent even in the
diplomatic corps, many masculine
members Of which proudly boast of
their skill as chefs. Mrs. Bryces cele-
brated salads are responsible for a
fever Of emulation which has agitated
many Washington households, but
thus far her laurels as the best salad
maker of the local smart set have re-
mained undisturbed.
One Of the rarest abilities possessed
by a Washington woman is that of
Mrs. James Cecil Hooe, who Is an ex-
pert accountant. From her father, the
late Representative Nelson Dingley, of
Maine, author of the Dlngley tariff
bill, Miss Edith Dingley, now Mrs.
Hooe, inherits her grasp of facts and
figures, two things for which the ma
jority of her sex have little fondness.

The Duty of Forgiveness.

The most plain and natural senti
ments Of equity concur with divine
authority to enforce the duty of for
