EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAEERoN.

A woman who had been very sue
cessful as one of the subordinates in
window trimming department was
hired away by another shop to head
their department She had been ex-
tremely valuable to her first employ
er because she was so full of original
ideas and suggestions. In the Sec
ond shop she was a complete failure
and was soon discharged.
Why? Because, while she knew
almost everything there was to know
about window trimming, she didn't
know one thing about tact.
She went to her new position bris-
Ting with Impotence to revolutionize
the department. She hadn't been in
man who had been in the business
twice as long as she had that his
ideas were all nonsense.
Undoubtedly she was right in
good many of her criticisms, but lit
tie good it did her. She couldn't do
all the work herself, she couldn't get
her subordinates' cooperation; she
simply succeeded in thoroughly an
tagonizing them, and soon so demon
allied the department that it was
necessary to let her go and to find
someone who might not know so
much about window trimming, but did
know something about tact.
How often one sees people like this
woman, who are undeniably more
competent than their neighbors and
who are eager to share their superior
intelligence with them, but whose
kindness is always ungratefully de-
clined because of their infuriatfng
manner of offering it.
A neighbor of mine is a capable
woman of superior intelligence and
endowed with a really genuine desire
to help her friends by sharing what
experience and native intelligence
have taught her. If she had a little
more tact and a little more respect
for other peoples opinion she might

AS it happens Mrs. r. also some
times confides in me; and this is her
way of putting it: "She comes in
here and tells me that don't know a
thing about babies, and that 1 make
my beds wrong, and don't hold the
broom right, and don't know how to

know she is right, but she makes me

KILLING THE "GRIzzIY BEAR"

KILLING THE "GRIZZLY BEAR
Society, which does a number of fool
fsh things directly and countenances a
great many more, has spells of common
sense every once in a while. 1t has
one now and. strangely enough, it has
struck both sides Of the ocean at once.
1t concerns the adoption by the leisure
class of the low, 1ascivious dances OF
the theater, which, in turn, took them
from dives and places unmentionable.
The prevalence of the bunny hug" the
grizzly BEAR and all the deshly
! dances derived from them has stirred
one prominent society man to indignant
protest against their presence in the
homes of the rich. This reformer is
Preston Gibson, of Washington, club
man, writer, society leader and million
aire. He sees a serious lowering of the
moral standard in their practice or even
their tacit acceptance, and he has
started a crusade in Washington
against them.
Gibson has the courage of his con-
victions in all he does and bulldog per-
sistence. Not long ago, he started out
to be a dramatist, and though he put
his play on the stage himself, spending
coolies of money for a perfect cast and
superb stage setting and so cannot
blame his failure on the theatrical man.
ayers, it fell with a dismal thud. This
didn't dismay him in the least. He
thought the critics and the public were
in the wrong and so he started in right
away TO write a play that would make
them recognize him. A man of this
caliber will not back down IN his fight
to make the Tight, fantastic in Wash
ington clean and graceful.
While the American is fighting single
ciety is banding itself together for the
same wholesome purpose. Not long
ago, Mrs CORVALLIS West, that ener-
fetic and brilliant American who con-
quered English society a score of years
ago, gave Shakespearean spectacle at
Sheperdsbush. It revived in many ways
the glories of the Elizabethan times and
attracted, as it deserved, much atten-
ton.
One of its notable features was the
many pretty folk dances that were
given by skilled dancers. They made
such a hit, both by their novelty and
their fascination, that the leaders of
English society are now going to intro
duce them at their own parties, to drive
out the obnoxious dances now too COM
mon there. Speed the day of dancing
modesty, both here and there.

BRAINS WIN IN MODERN WAR.

j
Until Japan humbled Russia the be-
lief had been growing stronger and
wider among the white races and ma
lions of the earth that brown, yellow
and black warriors could no longer
hope to meet upon anything like even
terms the disciplined soldiers of the
modern military powers of the Occi-
dent Under the tremendous impact
of Japanese victories over the Musco-
yite hosts this belief gave way to
possibly exaggerated estimate of the
latent prowess of Oriental peoples.
Now the pendulum swings back
again toward the Older notion of Eur
opean and American Unborn primacy
in arms. Again the news from battles
in which white armies have grappled
with the darker warriors Of the east
initiates the pride and strengthens the
confidence of the western nations. They
see the Turks broken and decimated by
the attacks of Bu1gars, Serbs. Greeks
and Montenegrins. They find the an
Gent prestige of the Ottoman armies
shattered by the newly-created forces
of young kingdoms. and again Asia
begins to look markedly inferior to
Europe in martial prowess.
But the truth is that the issue is
one of brains. Intelligence, supported
by fair degree of physical courage
and hardihood, is the master force of
modern war. The japanese possessed
this intellectual equipment in pre-
eminent degree. The Turks lack it.
Victory was won by the science as
much as by the dauntless spirit and
wonderful self-sacrif1ce of the Mika-
dos soldiers. Defeat is the lot of the
sultan's troops, not because they are
wanting in any of the elemental quail
ties Of physical manhood, but because
the Turkish military establishment is
not equal to the demands of modern
war in organization, equipment, ini-
tiative or capacity for meeting unusual
stress OF circumstances and great crt-
