STRONG FOR MATINEE GIRLS. =
After the performance one Saturday ant

with three girls who had arranged VIII!

the actress. The visitors were western
girls who were home from boarding school
for the HOLIDAYS One OF the number. with
smiling timidity, held a half-emptied box
of bonbons toward Miss CrOsman with
the remark:
You see, we came with our bonbons
like real matinee girls.
'Ah.' replied the actress, Don't speak
disparagingly of matinee girls. IKE
them they are my warmest friends. Do
you know" she continued. Il would much

than of men. | have said this before, and
| am sincere in 1t.
II think as a general thing women are
more appreciatiye of the best in the
drama than are men. Perhaps by temper
ament they have more ready under-
standing of woman characters on the
stage and are quicker to comprehend the
points one seeks to make. They are
keener to realize what one of their own
sex would do under certain circumstances.
They grasp the significance of impulse
and motives because they can see just
what they themselves would do under
like conditions.
1T always wounds me-, added Miss
Crosman, Ito see matinee girls depicted
by certain humOrists as silly creatures
who languish at the play and fall in love
with the leading man. In my opinion the
matinee girl represents the best type of
young American womanhood. She is IN
telligent, appreciative and finds III the
theater wholesome enjoyment, If not in

Col. E. H. Aull, editor of the New

afternoon. He was on his way home

It is gratifying to have Col. Watson
and Mr.. Knapp endorse the doctrine
The Herald and News has been
preaching for the past twenty odd
years. We have said so much about tho
importance of the farmers OF this
section raising their own food sup
plies on the farm, that we had almost
come to regard it as stale and use
less repetition. But here comes these
government officials preaching the
same doctrine, as a new doctrine, ana
showing by the figures what mas oeen
accomplished for the State agricultur-
ally since they began to promulgate II.
We are pleased to have them preach
it and still more pleased that their
preaching is bearing fruit. There IS
still much more to be done.
