HOW TO TALK AT DINNER

be long drawn out. A dinner guest. or a
host, or hostess, is for the time being
a conversationalist, not lecturer There
are never failing topics of interest and
untold material out of which to weave
suitable dinner talk, provided 1t is woven
in the right way. And this weaving OF
talk is an art in which we may become
proficient by giving 1t attention, just as
one becomes the master of ans other art
by taking thought and probing into UNDER
lying principles. So in the art of talking
well, even naturally fluent takers need
by faithful pains to get beyond the poiat
where they only happen to talk. They
need to attain that conscious power over
conversational situations which gives them
precision and grace In adapting means
to ends and fine discrimination in croos-
ing among their resources.
The dining room is both an arena in
which takers fight with words Upon
Held of white da,nask, and lovoeeast of
discussion. If guests are neither hatesulIy
disputations now hypocritically humble,

Leader Underwoods candidacy for the
United States Senate" said John F. Ash
ton. of New York city.
II am a democratic voter and feel an
interest, of course, in the democratic
party, but have never been anything of
a politician. outside of home politics
and Wilson administration politics in
Washington, New Yorkers take a lively
interest in Mr.. Underwocd's candidacy
than in any other political matter. 1t Is
generally believed in the east that MIR.
Underwood will be elected over Hobson
by a big majority, and understand from
Alabama democrats that there is prac-
tically no doubt but what Mr.. Underwood
will be victorious
Il was surprised to find that prohibit
tion had been injected into this senatorial
campaign. Not having practical expert
ence with the prohibition issue and only
knowing of the anti-saloon league agita-
ton from reading, L cannot conceive how
any democrat could vote against Mr.
Underwood, who is recognized as one OF
the greatest democratic statesmen this
country has ever produced. The prohibi-
ton cause in the south would, imagine,
be irreparably hurt by the Hobson tao
ties

EARLY THEATRES

From the Strand
In the Sothern and MarIowe special train
there are seven cars of scenery, two Pull
man cars for the company, one coach for
the train crew. and Mr.. Sothern and Miss
Marlowe's private car. When making
journey or five or six hours, it is very es-
sential that the company leave at least
two hours after the performance The
reason for this is that the scenery, prop
critics and wardrobe for each of their pro-
ductions are so elaborate that the work.
ing forces require at least day to place
it in a theatre and be made ready for
performance.
Is will be incredible to the theatregoers
of our time that Edwin Booth, Lawrence
Barrett, John Mccullough, and others Of
the great stars never carried any scenery
whatever with them in their travels
around the countryl Up to a few years
ago all theatres supplied scenic equip
ments. The manager of a company sent
ahead list of scenery and properties re-
uulred. and it was necessary that the
theatre in each city should supply these.
The first important travelling company
TO carry even a carload of scenery from
city to city was Daniel F'rohman's pro-
duction of Hazel Kirke.' During Soth-
erns first year as a star all that was
carried on the road in the way of scenic
equipment and properties filled one war;
drobe trunk. From one wardrobe trunk
to a special train of IL cars is, indeed
an advance!
Theatregoers nowadays would not put up
with the sort of scenic equipments which
once served to satisfy them. Year after
yeay the theatregoers of any given city
saw the same old parlor set. kitchen
seene rustic exterior, and the like used
for one play after another. The expense
of providing all this scenery and prop
critics to be carried around from city to
city is enormous, and doubtless many
managers bemoan the fact that the old
order of things does not still prevail

A SATISFACTORY PINkING

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A Bulgarian lieutenant, much bewhisk-
cred and otherwise horrihc in mien, went
stalking about the Paris cafes, and looked
for trouble. His name was Torkoff, or
something like that. He was in Paris for
No one, he swore, should speak in dero-
cation of that fair Bulgaria. Should there
be derogation there must be letting OF
blood, and he would attend to the letting
Pierre Lott, somewhat of a man of let
ters, went to Inconvenience to gain his
first-hand information of Balkan condi-
tions. He came back to civilization and
published a newspaper article in which
he declared that Bulgarians are savages.
The Torkoff person challenged him to
mortal combat. Pierre Lott, considering
his life too valuable TO throw away to
satisfy the whm of some staggering
whiskerando, paid little heed. Then a
challenge was sent to Lofts sblisher.
and afterwards there was a pro sion of
challenges dispatched to know. friends
of the literateur. They brought no re-
sponse.
Finally the thing got to be a bore The
ordinary boulevard salutation was Bon
jour, have you received a challenge from
TorlSoff today?" 1t had to be stopped
And one Georges Breitmayer twho is in
dubitably French despite his Teutonic
name). stepped in and accepted one of tie
invitations.
The result was some real fighting, which
was pleasing. And still more pleasing
was the outcome, for Torkoff was severe
ly pinlSed in the breast, so severely that
he will languish for a considerable time
in the hospital. When he energies he
will, perhaps, go back to Bulgaria, where
he belongs.
There are several lessons to be learned
from this tale. One Is that a d'Artagnan
or Cyrano is out of place in the twentieth
century. Another is that even a modern
duel may occasionally be edifying. A
third lesson is that it is fine thing to
stay at home and attend to ones own
business. And, lastly, it may be perceived
from this story that bully who bullies
long enough is almost certain to come to
grief.

The Int II. NJ. Emerson

1T was sad coincidence that two
prominent railroad presidents-the ex-
ecutives of two great southern sys-
TENS died on the same day-President

Coast Line said A. c. Downs of Wash

quaintance with both gentlemen; knew
Mr. Emerson well some years ago when
he was traffic manager of the Atlantic

that the instances of railroad men who
started a the bottom and rose to the
top unaided are very scarce. But Mr..
Finley began his railroad career as a
stenographer and Mr.. Emerson as a

ever been before, and is nearer the
end of his resources. His pseudo con-
gress is pretending to perform legal
functions in the City of Mexico, but
the world at large is paying little at
tention to its spurious enactments.
Foreign nations are evincing a deter
nination to make no move which
might embarrass the United States.
The firm stand of the Wilson adj
ministration is having its effect, al
though that effect is not at all spec
tacular. The recent successes of the
rebel arms in northern Mexico raise
a hope that all the ends of the United
States will be gained without the loss
of blood and treasure on the part Of
this country. Such a consummation is
most devoutly to be wished.

TALKING AT DINNER
/, New York Telegram.

From the New Y fork Ieiegfanl
With Thanksgiving close on our heels
and hard behind it the holiday season
when there will be more or less going
about and entertaining and of necessity
meeting friends and acquaintances, new
and old a magazine for women advises
Don't go out to dinner unless you are
willing to talk
Sounds rather needless, doesn't it?''
suggests the Detroit Free Press. Per
sons of the gentle sex generally do talk
when out to dinner or elsewhere. One is
reminded of that old saying about Car
rying Goals to Newcastle and all that
sort of thing.
Trouble is, as rule, that so many per-
sons want to talk at dinners, but we can
excuse lot of things around holiday
times.
Still it may not be unwise to ponder the
suggestion in various ways, among them
Don't go out to dinner unless you are
willing to listen" and also Don't talk un-
less you have something to say.

The Builders Work

1t was the policy of William Wilson
Finley, as president of the Southern
railway, to seek to have the patrons
of his lines feel that they were serv-
ing each other. By every modern
method he tried to improve the ma
terial welfare of those living along
his lines. He recognized the potential
richness of the south, and he knew
that what are now waste places in
times will blossom like gardens. He
employed experts to promulgate the
doctrines of crop rotation, diversi-
fication and intensification. Railroad
self interest of course had its part
in his plans and accomplishments.
The more bountiful the crop along
the roads he directed the greater
would be their earnings. But the ship
per would profit in proportion far
greater than the gain to the rail
road.
Mr. Finley was essentially build
er. He knew that the railroads could
not live without the public, any more
than the public could live without the
railroads. He recognized the mutuality
of their interests, and sought in every
way to promote harmony and good
feeling. He became president of the
Southern at time when that road
was falling low in the estimation of
the public. His services to it have been
inestimable. The south needs many
more of his kind.

AN ARTIST ON BROADWAY

From the New York World.
If dorado Taft, the Chicago sculptor,
thought that he would shock New York
ers by his remark that 1.-The Great White
Way" is not thing of beauty but an
unsightly glare of lights, he vas. grew
ously deceived. Persons of less artistic
rretensions, living much nearer Broad
waly have been known to venture similar
opinions. Even If a Chicago critic were
to comment on the tawdry appearance
of that section of that particular street
by daylight, he might expect to escape
bodily harm. Civic pride hereabouts has
its limitations.
AS an electrical show, "the Great White
Way" may be the delight of people who
deal in electricity, like those to whom Mr..
Taft addressed himself 1t is a big con-
sumer, but with little intelligence il
might do better. Whirling signs and
dancing lights thrown together at ran
dom and without any show of arrange
ment may make glare. but nothing more
pleasant to the eye.
But If Mr.. Taft or any other western
visitor will step over to Fifth avenue and
view the long. vista of lights from Forty
second street up and down, or will take
the trouble to see lower Manhattan, with
it's skyscrapers and bridges and water
front all aglow, on a fine autumn even-
ing, he will have a sight to remember
for the rest of his days. 1t is not merely
the lights of Broadway, but the life and

Thanksgiving Day

This is Thanksgiving Day, and it
will be generally observed as usual
1t is an American institution and
had its origin in New England, where
it is easily traced back to the Pilgrim
fathers. Governor Bradford issued a
proclamation for a thanksgiving fes-
tival in 1921, and it was observed in
Plymouth in the true Puritan spirit.
Thanksgiving has been observed an
nually in New York state for 100
years or more.
In 1874 Congress. set apart day for
praising God and returning thanks
for the termination of the
Revolutionary war George Washing
ton, as President, appointed a
Thanksgiving Day in 1889 in COM
memoration Of the adoption of the
constitution. President Madison APP
pointed day in 1916 in which the
people were called upon to attend
places of worship and gives thanks for
peace following the second war with
England. But it was not until 1863
that Thanksgiving became by presi-
Dental proclamation an established
holiday. Since that time the President
of the United States has every year
appointed the last Thursday in No
vember. The governors of the states
follow the Presidents action and issue
proclamations.
Thanksgiving Day is now a legal
holiday in most states, but in no part
of the country is it celebrated with
quite so much zest perhaps as in New
England, where it has the same place
in family life as Christmas has in
Great Britain.
The United States as nation al
ways has something to be thankful
for, and the people Individually as well
as collectively will give hearty thanks
today for the manifold mercies and
blessings that have been bestowed
upon them.
