third to trio Of very interesting new

the author of the work which he calls
a Pullman Carnival" which applies
exactly, for the action takes place in
AN overland limited train and the
series OF episodes follow one another
with few minutes OF lost time.

latest offering of J. NJ. Barrie and

M. Barrie" "The Twelve Pound Lock"
is a one-act satire on the snobbery Of
material success, and takes well.
"Nobodys Daughter" Is a new play
In the repertoire Of the New Theater,
which is to close so soon. The play
has aroused various opinions from
the critics, and although 1t is splen.

Don't Be a Crouch.

Stanton Register: The hookworm
of the south makes the people lazy,
but it doesn't do half the damages that
the crouch microbe does to the people
of all towns. The crouch destroys all
sunshine of the home and does great
injury to business in all places. He is
a boon companion of the knocker, but
far worse. If you have the Crouch
take something for il or by the time
YOU come to die your acquaintance
will feel relieved at your passing
away. There is one sure way to get
rid of the Crouch, that is to see good
in everybody and forget that people
do wrong.

The closing feature of the evening
was progressive assemblage of pic

MODERN WOMAN NOW
FADDIST ABOUT FOOD

The modern woman has become
such faddist about food that host
tess gets little pleasure in entertain
ing her. Faddism along this line has
been carried to such an extreme that
one woman evolved the idea Of asking
for a dietary of each guest when Civ
ing luncheon in order to avoid the
embarrassment of seeing dishes re-
fused by guests nobly intent upon
keeping health or figure.
While the benefits of a proper diet
to both health and figure can scarce
ly be overestimated, yet a word Of
warning should be made against car
rying a diet too far, and allowing our
self to become the victom of a food
idea. The fruitarian and vegetarian
are pronounced types Of this sort of
exaggeration, yet on dietetic sins can
never be solved by faddists.
