New York, Oct. 10.-The woman with
the monocle is coming. She has bob
bed up in Paris, but as yet has not
had courage enough to visit London.
However, it may be expected that be-
fore many months she will be seen
in New York, in the Metropolitan op.
era house, the theaters or along Fifth
avenue. The lorgnette has been put
aside to great extent in Paris. Wo-
men have acquired the habit of using
only one glass, which they hold before
the eye by the muscles of the cheek.
Some carry the glass on long han
die. The monocle is reported to have
many advantages over the lorgnette,
and Paris women have taken to 1t
with much eagerness. The monocle
may be seen in the theaters and op
era houses in that city, and even
Berlin has taken it up.

PLAY SHOWS THE SKELETON.
The Novel Hides it, That's the Differ
ence, w. j. Locke Saws.

ence, w. j. Locke says.
New York, Oct. 10.-W. j. Locke,
the English novelist and playwright,
is making a second visit to New York.
Some of the plays made out of Mr..
Locke's novels have been big success
es as such. Others have not been
so fortunate, in spite Of the great
popularity of the books from which
they were drawn. AS delicately aa
possible the impertinent question was
put to him, "Why?"
The author tied his legs into some
thing resembling a bowknot, but other
wise took the question unperturbed.
"If you've not good dramatic story
in a novel, there is no reason why
the latter shouldn't be successful as a
play" he returned. "lf you haven't,
then you don't get good play.
What feel about making a drama
into a novel is this: In a novel one
has certain skeleton which one hides
from the public view, not the skeleton
of the closet, exactly, but skeleton
which he covers over with flesh and
all the graces and charm that he can.
Very often the mere articulation of the
skeleton in the novel is not the ele.
ment with which the writer wants to
make his appeal. Now, in converting
a novel into play one has simply
got to make the skeleton prominent
and as there are only two or three
hours in which to do the whole story
one has got to sacrifice a host OF
things for which he really wrote the
novel. That is the great difficulty In
dramatizing a novel. The Morals OF
Marcus was successful as a play, fol
the simple reason that the story, The
Morals of Marcus Ordene,' lent Itself
to dramatic use.
"Do l think the public taste in fic
tion is changing? Not at all. 1t is
the same as ever. But there are many
publics. After all, there is only one
story in the world-a man, a woman
and possible baby. 1t is the human
story that alone is interesting"
"Is it not fact that you now have
a wider public in the United States
than in England?"
"Well, of course, America is much
larger country, and there may be
something in the fact that the Ameri
cans are nation of book buyers and
not a nation of book borrowers, as
we are in England. Here if anybody
wants to read a book, he goes and
buys it, while in England he waits his
time until half dozen other persons
have finished reading the copy belong
ing to the circulating library"
