speaking of the working women, who
have no time for such things, but /
am talking about society women and
women of leisure. In Europe when you
call informally at a friends house you
will. in nine cases out of ten. find the
lady Of the house engaged in bit OF
sewing, which she puts aside in a dainty
workbasket by the window as you come
In. Then she has the tea brought In, and
you feel that you are talking to a calm
and rested woman.
AN American woman invariably ex-
claims, however, if you suggest such a
thing to her. Sewing? Why! 1t makes
me too nervous for words. L simply
patience"
II do think that sewing does irritate
the nervous person If she tries to do a
lot OF it Immediately, but If she will
slowly train herself up to 1t sewing
will benefit her immensely. IT will
oblige her to govern her nerves. From
the time little girls are able to hold a
needle they should be made to sew about
half an hour a day. Not in order to
have them learn sewing, or to make
them feminine, but simply to train them
to remain quiet. A child that has been
taught to sit still and keep quiet will
know how to manage its nerves when 1t
gets older. In fact, 1t will not have
any.
1.-THE American woman says Marcel
Provost. the celebrated French writer,
called the best feminine psychologist
in the world, wants to be every where
and do everything at the same time. She
wants to learn all there is to be learned
and see all Ahere is to be seen. Although
we admirff her ambition, we cannot
help but see it can never be fulfilled

"Florodora," will present as its sec
ond Offering, the musical comedy Ser

The fact that Miss Helen Byron. prtma

The Imperial is the first theater in

and they scored the hits OF the show.
That the cabaret idea appeals TO the
best classes of theatergoers seems evil

of the reserved seats for the opening
performances in Chase's New Theater
August 10. Mr.. Chase emphatically stated
yesterday.
Nothing of that sort will be per-
mitted by me- he said. II have no
right whatever to tax my patrons In that
way. My invariable policy of first come,
first served will apply just as equitably
and popularity to the opening of my new
theater as it has to my present play
house, which has had two generations
of Westinghouse under its roof. While
the beauties of the permanent home of
polite vaudeville will. of course. arouse
unusual public interest, and very likely
there will be a larger advance demand
than usual for the Inauguration of a new
season, there will be- no departure from
the long-established custom of selling
reserved seats a week ahead to those
persons who are the first to apply. The
constantly rising scale of the cost of the
necessaries of life and the apparently
fixed level of salaries among the govern
ment clerks in this city make 1t i'm
peratively necessary here to reduce other
expenses than those for actual living to
the lowest degree compatible with refined
tastes and wholesome enjoyment.
II have always maintained II to be
the best financial policy, If nothing more
to charge minimum prices for maximum
attractions.
Furthermore. Chase's was the first
theater. and for a long time the only
one in this country to depart from the
age-old theatrical custom of charging
night prices for holiday matnees, and
also of raising prices above the normal
for especially desirable attractions. And
il was Chase's that succeeded in break
ing up speculation in theater tickets in
this city, although for years previously
cost the public many thousands OF
dollars.
