Madame Harriet L4abadie, who read
Ibsen's Hattie Gabler' at the Grand
Tuesday night, says that for years the
name of Ibsen was a forbidden word In
social gatherings in London, because
the mention of his name always
brought about intense alterations as
to the philosophy and the purpose of
his writings. What strenuous work
those learned Londoners must make Of
their dinner parties and drawing room
gatherings, and how much better is our
way of discussing our neighbors and
the fashions and save ourselves the
disturbing sensations of an impulse to
throw spoons and wine glasses at each
other. We choose a lighter mental diet
as the concommitant of our physical
feeding, and save him for the opera
house. The number of people who at
tended the reading last night, however,
was evidence that our people will con-
slider Ibsen at the proper time when he
doesn't threaten an interference with
their digestive welfare. A number %
people came in box parties and line
parties. DR. E. s. Pettyjohn had box,
and his guests: DR.. and Mrs. L. NJ.
Powell, Mrs. Pettyjohn, Miss Margaret
Pettyjohn and Mr.. Wallace Pettyjohn.
