THIS IS THE AGE OF WOMAN
Everywhere She I Doing Now What
Formerly Was Considered the
Work Of Man.

II may be difficult to tell what Is a
woman's age, but unquestionably this
is It. Mems colleges into which wom-
en- have made their way have had TO
drive them out again In order to give
the men a chance at graduation hon
ors. From the pulpit and the bar down
to the coal mine and the Iron furnace
women are doing what used to be
regarded as mans work. The liter
allure OF the day is overwhelmingly
feminist in its character and very
much OF 1t is the work OF women.
Men are being told things about wom'
en- that II was not deemed proper for
their fathers to know. and as for them
selves, they are being shown up with,
out remorse.
Within few days illustrat!ons) OF
the feminist revolution. physically and
intellectually, have become public.
Man Is destined to lose even his
physical superiority. The superinten-
dent OF hospital in Boston, where
5000 babies are born annually, says:
I'VE have noticed that girl babies are
getting taller and that they are APP
pearing In this world lately with more
real vitality than formerly. The boy
babies continue on the average, both

Bird and Beast Sanctuary.

Remote from all large centers OF
population a bird and beast sanctuary
has been established In the Upper
Engadine in Switzerland This Is the
Val Cluoza, near Zernetz and not far
from the Ofen Pass. 1t is a well
wooded spot of considerable area
carefully watched. and in the summer
continually patrolled by keepers.
One Of these, who has just returned
TO st. Moritz from a visit, found the
park completely showed under to a
depth of more than foIr feet, In it
we're five herds of chamois. one OF
which numbered 147 head. besides
great number OF roebuck and deer, to-
gether with bears, foxes and other
smaller Alpine animals. Flocks OF
snow hens were also wintering In the
sanctuary with numerous crossbills,
titmice and other small birds.
1t is hoped that the establishment
Of this reserve will prevent the threat

and birds In the Alps.

MYSTERY OF LAKE BAlKAL

The riddle OF Lake Balkal, In cen.

cases large body of fresh water re-

again, contain a very large number OF
species not found elsewhere. Lake Bal

seals as well as three species OF her
ring. II also contains a few mollusca

Though II Is frozen over for about Ave
months In the year, the animal life is
extremely abundant and varied. This

by the existence of hot springs.

Man Here
Thursday

Probably no play Of the past season
was so enthusiastically received by
the big newspaper critics as "The Lot
terry Man." Rida johnson Young's new
comedy, which comes to the Grand on
era house next Thursday, Nov. Z.
Allan Dale, who to q large portion
of thoatre-goers in New York, ia n
combination Of Webster's dictionary
and the Holy Bible welded into one,
says THE Lottery Man" Is a Il r
thing, 1t comes at the right time
There are not too many new ideas in
the world, and its birth at the Bijou
theatre is a bit startling. A little play
like this does a great deal Of good.
It's no use pretending that It is frlvol-
Gus and inconsequential. Nothing
that cures the blues is frivolous and
lnconsequential. People go to doctors
for relief and get pills and powders
and an expensive prescription. Then
why not go and see a play that works
on the crouch and pulverlzes II. Get
busy and see It, poor melancholy
onesl"
Frederick Edward Mckay, the wise
man of the Mail" says that "The Lot
terry Man" is destined to be as big a
hit as "rhe Blue Mouse" Acton Da-
yies of "rhe Evening Sun" remarks:
Don't miss The Lottery Man and IL
you have got any fat women in our
family take them along with you; It
might reduce them"
Adolph Klauber, Of the Times, says:
THAT If The Lottery Man were any
funnler than 1t is, It would be a record
breaker In fact, all the New York
critics were unanimous in pronounc-
ing that "The Lottery Man" was the
greatest success Of the year, which
has been notable for having produced
more good farccs than the Now York
stage has known for the past decade.

Chocolate
Soldier
Coming

In response to a universal popular
demand that two long seasons in New
York and throughout the country have
failed to satisfy, "The Chocolate Sol
bier" produced by Mr.. Whitney Is
once prominent among the sea-
sons choicest attractions and will be
seen in the Grand opera house, Mon
day, Nov, 4, 1912.
"The Chocolate Soldier" made into
an opera bouffee by Oscar Straus from
George Bernard Shaw's comedy satire,
farms and the Man. is admittedly the
masterpiece of the light operas of this
rountry, The sternest of New York's
critics succumbed to the exquisite
Beauties Of the Viennese music, and
experts and laymen alike in every city
Of the land have pronounced It a
flawless specimen of the composers
art.
The scene Of THE Chocolate Sol
der" is laid in Bulgaria, The cos
tunes with their wealth Of detail and
ornamontation peculiar to Bulgaria
were made especially for Mr.. Whitney
hy the peasants in the Dragonian
Pass, where a part of the action takes
place. The greater part Of the scenic
Equipment used in the interior scenes
was collected by Mr., Whitney during
trips made to Europe to famillarize
himself with the country and its in
habitants. The production for this
season, although it IS the third in the
history of "Tho Chocolate Soldier's'
American triumph, is more elaborate
and sumptuous than heretofore.
The company is one of uniform OPP
cratic and dramatic excellence. Mr..
Whitney has a radical distrust of the
star system, which has had so PERM
cious an influence on the American
stage, and he has sought for but one
thing in selecting his cast thas every
part should be filled with as much
care as If it were of star" proper
lions. Every member Of the Whitney
Opera Company is a graduate of the
hard school Of grand opera, which is
in itself a guarantee of an excellent
performance. Prominent in its ranks
are Rena Vivlenne, Ilion Bergere, Nell
la Winters, Charles Purcell, ]. Russell
Powell, Olive Randolph, Sylvan Lang
lois and George Ogle.
The company carries with it the
same large orchestra, which under the
masterful leadership of Max Fishan-
dler did much in New York and Chi
cago to make the Straus opera the
greatest success since Gilbert and Sui
Ivan and Oifenbach.

The attractive and dainty black and

development of the black and white

essentially in Biedermeier style, com
