COMPANY MANNERS.

Some people keep all their lovable
ways for outsiders.
They don't think it necessary to
put on an interested manner when
the home people are talking.
What is said ''goes in at one ear
and out at the other"-so that it
really seems scarcely worth while to
tell them things.
They know how to be sympathetic
but they don't practice it at home.
They would agree that
ITO be truly kind is to do and say
The kindest thing in the kndest
way"
But the kind things they do at
home are generally done grudgingly
and of necessity.
They make an effort to be interest
ing and amusing away from home
but no effort at home. That sort
of thing never pays.
Pleasant manners and pleasant
talk need practice. If you put them
away like the talent in the napkin
you'll be lucky if you find them in
any sort of working order when you
want them. Whereas, if you use
them they will grow.-Home Chat.

WORKERS WITHOUT HOMES.

While admitting that there was q
great need for low priced hotels FOL
working girls, Mrs. Eva Mcdonald
Valesh warned the League for Politi
cal Education, at No. % West 44th
street, that there was a danger that
they might tend to cut wages.
There are always employers who
will take advantage Of these things,
she said. LOOK how cheap you can
live they say, and along comes an
other reduction. But hotels for work
ing girls are needed, only they must
not be organized on stiff lines. In
America we're too likely to want to
fix persons lives after our own pat
tern. 1t does seem strange that we
don't have the cheap, comfortable lit
tie inns you find everywhere in
Europe.

sometimes wonder how on earth
these girls, with their wages, manage
to exist in New York.
"The big hotel that was started
here some years ago supposedly for

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-If criti-

Option of disastrous results. The OBJ

Inspector General Bell says that the

service. He says that the new regula-
tioris are almost entirely theoretical or
dependent upon the experience of Eu-
ropean armies. Our transportation. he
says is the same as at the beginning
of the civil war, for our army has so
far failed to make use of automobiles,
traction engines and other modern ap-
pliantes in the field. The, weakness
could be remedied if the present ma
neuveFs could be replaced at least once
by march of a complete army corps.
Few OF our officers have ever marched

inspectors will be required to submit
the troops to annual inspection in

WASHINGTON. Sept 12-The name
of Charles Nagel, secretary of COM
merce and labor, has replaced that of
the late Solicitor General Bowers in
the gossip of Washington on the ex-
pected appointments to the present and
prospective vacancies in the supreme
court
More apparent substance is given to
the mention of Nagel because he halls
from the eighth circuit, which, al
though 1T embraces 13 states west of
the Mississippi, has been without a
representative on the supreme bench
since the death of Justice Brewer

supposed impracticability in existing
circumstances of the elevation of
Judges Sanborn, Vandeventer, Hook

whom have passed upon the pending

attention.

VIRGINIA Harmed
HAS A new PLAY
Drama Written by Herbert
Bashford of This City De-
lights Noted Actress
Reno Audience Will Be the First
to Witness ''The Woman
He Married

Virginia Harmed will shortly produce
a play written by a San Franciscan
and the Reno folk are to witness the
premier. The play is called The
Woman He Married. and is the work Of
Herbert Bashford. a local newspaper
man. The opening date has been set
for October II.
Virginia Harmed Sothern, accom-
panied by her friend. Miss Margaret
Gordon, arrived in the city yesterday
and took apartments at the st. Fran
els. OF the rumors that have come out
of New York that, after all, there was
no serious breach between herself and
her actor husband. Miss Harmed would
say nothing.
Il have never discussed my personal
affairs with any one" she said. but
am willing TO speak about my profes-
sion.
. The Woman He Married is one of
the most interesting plays have ever
read. 1t was written by Herbert Bash
ford of this city and is well told
story with many fine climaxes. Be
sides. it is exceptionally we'll written.
L think so much of il that. instead
of making arrangements with a man
hearsals have already been commenced
at my home in Reno, where the open
ing performances will be given. 1t is
not strange that I should pick out
Reno for the premier. for 1T is my home
and all the big companies stop there.
The main idea running through the
play is that II is a foolish practice TO
deceive those whom We love merely
for the sake of doing them a supposed
kindness.
1T contradicts the old saying that
there are times in life when the per-
son who lies is the only friend that
is true. 1 believe that IL is the best
play that I have ever had have not
decided whom / will have for leading
man. Ny company will come to Reno
from New York. They will come TO my
home instead OF me going to theirs
After the run at Reno the company
will go north to Seattle and after
playing through the cities of the sound
will go east.
Miss Harmed has thus given further
assurance that she is making Reno her
residence. When it was announced
that she was working on a new play
her friends declared that surely the
play would open in New York and that
she would give up her home in the
divorce colony. This assumption led
to the statement that there was no
serious intention on Miss Harned's part
TO get divorce from L. III. Sothern.
