Don't Pose, Girls" is Prima
= Donna's Advice To
Capital Maidens.

Pretty Phyllis Partlngton-doesn't that
sound peachy2-who Is singing the
prima donna role in "Gypsey Love" this
week, In the National Theater. Is one
of the few singers on the stage who
aren't affected. She doesn't believe In
1t. She says that women do too much
posing. dctracting thereby from their
own sweet manner
"There Is no greater bore In the
world than the woman who poses" Miss
Partington says. From time imme-
mortal there have been women who
posed: women who tried to make peo-
pie believe they were something they
were not. There Is no greater bore,
to my mind than n woman who poses. -
She told OF girl who went from her
own humble home in city Of the mid
die West. and spent three months in
New York At the end OF that time
her accent was so broad that her old
friends couldn't understand her. Her

every other sentence was punctuated
with don't you knows until her friends
avoided her on every side.
1T would have been the same, prob
ably. II she had gone South" Miss Par
tington went on. "a Southern dialect
and a Southern langour would have
followed, and she would have dropped
her RS and broadened her accent until
any one who hadn't had the pleasure
OF an earlier acquaintance with her
would certainly have believed that she
WAS born and reared south Of Mason
and Dixon's line. Friends OF women
Of this sort usually wait patiently until
the pose Is passed. while others turn
away in despair or make sport of her

Charming Women Are Always
Their Natural Selves.

Young girls are the worst posers-the
girls Just out of school. who go through
a stage of posing that is as natural TO
them and as easily acquired as cold.
Fortunately these girls usually get over
the attack rapidly. and then their
friends breath happily once more.
Miss Partngton deplores the general
practice of posing that most actresses
possess. and declares that the woman
no makes the most headway on the
stage Is not the one who Is eternally
trying to make people think she is some
thing that she is not: but the easy, nat

BRYAN'S POSITION.
(The Commoner

N1He OOnIIlOn0T.D
Ffrst-Mr. Bryan does not advocate
the retirement Of outstanding national
bank currency. but he opposes any
enlargement of the privilege now en-
joyed by national banks. and he be-
lieves that such emergency currency.
as may be necessary should be issued
by the government and not by the
banks.
Second--The comforting upon ex-
presidents Of the right to participate
in debate in the senate and house need
not be accompanied by compensation;
in other words. the privilege may be
conferred as an honor rather than an
office.
Third-The democrats in the senate
are right in insisting that important
appointments should be reserved by
the president-elect. This is especially
true when the appointees are to hold
Office for life.
Fourth-The democrats at Wash
ington are justified in condemning the
~partisanship which leads the presf-
dent to extend the civil service when
that extension has no higher purpose
than the retention of republican ap-
pointees.

RULES FOR ECGENIC MOTHER
New York A,nerican.)

New York American.)
Mrs. George w. Herrick, mother OF
Rhode Islands first eugenic baby.
promulgated the following rules for
the care of babies today:
Don't kiss the baby. Don't bounce
it up and down.
No talcum powder. no sponges, no
frills. no furbelows. Instead fresh air,
cold salt baths. natural food.
For the mother-Remember that a
baby should come before and not aft
err your housework. Let the baby cry
a moderate amount. Even a cat with
its nine lives can't stand as much as
the average baby can.
Don't wear corsets If you want to be
a successful mother. The father con-
tributes as much to the child as the
mother. No oma should choose for
the father Of her children a man who
drinks or smokes.
