THEATRICAL NOTES

Miss Crosby Little, member of the
cast of Going Some" has the distinc-
ton of having never appeared on the
stage as an American. During her
professional career she has portrayed
negresses, Indian maids, Cubans and
half breeds, and in "Going Some" she
appears as a Mexican slave. Although
Miss Little has only three words to
speak in the entire play she presents
such an excellent Characterization that
she never fails to evoke an ovation
after her exit.
The story that Sam Bernard was to
essay a serious role has, like the pro-
verbal lamb, turned up, bringing it's
tail behind. Mr.. Bernard declares that
it is mostly tale"

The Essence of Life.

Life is not only for work. 1t Is for
ones self and for ones friends. The
degree Of Joy that a man finds In his
work is due to two things: The In
tensity and fulness OF his vitality, and
the congenial character Of the work
itself. When one is thoroughly well
and vigorous, the mere joy of living.
Of merely being alive. is very great.
At such time the nature Of the work
does not matter to large extent. The
sense Of having power at your COM
mand, and the delight of exerting 1t
even In coal shoveling or selling goods
Is enough. When one is full Of life,
the mere feeling of fresh water or air
on the skin, the taste of the plainest
food, the exertion of muscular effort,
the keenness of ones vision, the sight
OF color in the sky, or the sound OF
The wind or the waves-it takes moth
Ing beyond these to make one jubi-
liant, enthusiastic.

How Common Expression stepping

The expression, stepping into an

common phrase, had its origin in an
ancient custom.
The old Morse law required that a
person to be adopted must step into

The skin was flayed from above the
hook and out of this the shoe was
made The person to be adopted
stepped into this shoe, taking into his
arms, one at time it is presumed, the
younger sons of the man making the
adoption. If there were also sons who
we're of age, they stepped into the
shoe afterward, by this sign showing
their consent to the adoption.
A man in this way could adopt an H.
legitimate son, making him his lawful
heir; but in that case the father was

II there were any full-grown sons,

without his consent, by the way. this
special adoption could not be made.
Witnesses to the ceremony In the
use of the shoe were required to es-
