The statement that the women

the men is absolutely absurd and
untrue. Don't the men pay for

underworld belong in a differen:

less the people of high standing in
America get together to support

Who is responsible for the low

ing performance?
A Boston woman told me the

Boston Maude Adams played to

commodate the women of that

Why don't women stop those
plays? Can they? OF course they
can, and by merely refusing to go
to see them. A theatrical man

Pleasing the People

|NOU know the old saw about fooling some of
the people part of the time. usually at
tributed to Lincoln. but which probably be-
longs to P. T. Barnum. It's the same when it
comes to pleasing people. A magazine can't
please all the people all the time. especially one
like our SUNDAY MAGAZINE which has up
ward of FIVE million readers every week. If it
did. it wouldn't be worth much. but be merely
pleasant and colorless. What we are trying to
do is to please most of our readers most Of the
time and to interest them all the time. even if
it is fighting interest. You see. we want to
make you do a little plain thinking. and to
make it as easy as is possible. about important
things in the serious but very fine game OF hv-
ing.
Our next number is going to please most peo-
pie; but there are things in it that some people
will not for particularly. We are sure of
that, because of division of opinion among the
editors. 1t might be called finely balanced
magazine for that reason. and that is pretty
hard to achieve. One thing is certain. the
magazine has substance and quality without
being bit heavy. Let US look at some of the
big features:
TAFT AND TAFF By James Hay. Jr.
Probably you never heard of Taft; yet if it
were not for him you would not have heard SO
much about Taft as you have. When the Presi
dent made his famous Western trip it was the
business of Taft to keep him in touch with the
busy world every minute of the day night
Taft kept a telegraph wire hitched to the
President and the other end always connected
with regular line. On water or on land, in
cities. in the wilderness, Taft was always
with Taft and keeping open the line Of COM
munication. And talk about fictitious adven-
ture stories-why. they are kindergarten stunts
compared with those of Taft!
About the most satisfactory thing in the
world is to come in contact with a man who is
entirely competent to fill his particular job.
Taft has the kind of competency that enables
him to accomplish the seemingly impossible.
and without much fuss. You know how willing

are mighty eager to do things that will make
