They are cared for more tenderly than
the average child. Their sleep is guarded.
Their delicate skins are protected from
drafts. Their eyes are shielded from the
light Their coats are rubbed and combed
till they gIisten like satin. A page from
Dolly DimpIe's diary might read something
ike this:

From this you can imagine the delicate
and perfect care Dolly DimpIe's $4,000 bull
calf is receiving. Although he is the most
up-to-date calf possible, one thing is GER
tain-he is not being raised on a bottle!

STRAUSS NEW OPERA
By MALCOLM WATSON

London. November 23-(special.) THE
chief subject of Observation-Disclosures in
theatrical circles-during the week has
been the lord chamberlain's refusal to
sanction Max Reinhardt's production OF
a Venetian Night" at the palace in its
original form. The news came like a
thunderbolt upon everyone and not least
upon the manager of the Palace, Alfred
Butt. Lord Sandhurst's decision was
based upon the report of one of his rep
resentatives, very fair-minded man, who
certainly cannot be accused either of
prejudice or of holding puritanical views.
He attended a dress rehearsal on Sun
day night, but, naturally gavesno hint OF
what his opinion really was. merely sug-
costing one or two slight notifications
in the matter of certain costumes and
dances. Evidently, however, he was very
unfavorably impressed by what he wit
messed and IL the verdict of friend of
mine who also attended the rehearsal
and in whose judgment l have every con-
fdence can be trusted I am scarcely sur
prised.
Some time ago read a synopsis of the
story and I am bound to admit 1t struck

passages Manifestly, everything depends
on how situation is handled on the stage
1t only requires touch one way or the
other on the part of the producer to
create a disagreeable or an acceptable
effect. There are some situations, the sig
nihcance of which can never be concealed
But even in their case something can be
accomplished to redeem their ugliness.
From what | hear Reinhardt had done
little in this direction, and the condemna-
tion Of "a Venetian Night followed as a
matter of course.

has made his way southwark in order to
spend a day or two with his daughter,
Viola, who shortly after her marriage,
returned to Italy in order to continue her
musical studies. The last official news of
his whereabouts came from Tree himself,
then in Vienna. A correspondent of a
London newspaper telegraphed over that

What Makes Old Age?.

From the Bellman.
1t is a time when old age Is purely ops
tional If one likes to be called an old
man at so or 50, therd is nothing to hinder
him. If he considers himself old he is
old. On the other hand, being 20 and still
feeling youthful, he may with perfect
prepriety hold his place in the pleasures
and activities of the world and his actual
years Will be no handicap. Old age is
much a thing of personal opinion; II de-
pends more on the Individual than upon
the date of his birth. 1t is state OF
mind.
