Tact viii Vim Victories.

| don't mean that you should let your
husband drift into unpleasant or careless
habits with no effort to change them. But
the old proverb says that the best plan for
getting pig to go to Tlpperary Is TO drive
him the other way. and tact will win vic
tories that open persuasion and scolding
will never gain.

man l knew years ago-a farmers son.
with disregard for what he called fuss
and feathers" He had made money, mar
ried and moved into a handsome city house.
Into his new home he took one of the habits
of his boyhood days. When he came home
from business he went straight through the
house to the kitchen, washed his hands at
the kitchen sink. dried them on the roller
towel stopped for a glance at the ther-
mometer outside Of the window. and then
turned into his library.
His wife had tried to induce him TO so to
the bathroom on the second floor to make
his toilet but in vain. ana like wise woman
she let the matter drop. But during his
absence from home on business trip she
had the plumber in and neat wash stand
was built into a corner by window in the
lower rear hall. AT one side hung roller
towel; outside the window was fine COM
bination thermometer and barometer.
When the man of the house came home
his wife led him to her I" surprise and
his delight was unfeigned With wash
stand and towel of his own, the kitchen sink
lost all its attractions and the early farm
days habit dropped away from him.
Was this subterfuge a lack of straight
forwardness on her part? l do not term Il

thou expect to have another in all

When good Thomas a Kempis
wrote this sentence in his cloistered cell
some 500 years ago he could have had no
inkling that centuries later 1t would be
applied by busy wife and mother in lands
then unknown and help her to keep patient
with some of the things that were going
counter to her will and pleasure Prob
ably the sanity Thomas had In mind some
unruly brother or some unregenerate PEN
sioner of the monastery who refused to
conform his conduct to what the good man
thought right and proper. And pondering
on the faults of the other there came to
his own mind the conviction that there were
various failings OF his he had not yet con-
uuered. and with a sudden gush OF charity
he wrote the words have quoted.
Even IL he guessed at my twentieth CEN
tury application of them he might only
have smiled tolerently at the notion that a
mere woman--and q Iaywoman at that
could ever know in her calm life the
temptations TO sin that beset the man of
God, while the woman herself holds the
faith that no ciolster can supply the room
for warning with selishness and self-in-
dulgence that may be found in any home
today. Individuality undoubtedly exists
in the convent, but 1t is hardly so unre-
strained as In the home, and cannot be-
lieve that there is as much occasion any
where else as in the family for irritation
with the peculiarities of others and a wish
to smooth out the tricks that annoy US to
the verge of endurance.

The TheQfers

Two new faces, SO far as Richmond
is concerned tneatricaIly, We're seen
Monday evening at the Murray theatre
when the Francis Sayles company pre-
scented "Brewsters Millions" The new
members of the company are Miss Ada
Simpson and Miss Grace O'Connor
From the work of Miss O'Connor last
evening she will no doubt elicit favor
able comment this week Miss Simp-
son also seems to be pleasing She sur
prised many last evening by the ex-
cellent manner in which she inter
preted her parts. AS Trixie Clayton,
stenographer for Monty Brewster. she
was typical.
The play of "Brewster's Millions" lis
one of those rapidly moving vehicles
with just enough fun in it to keep it
from being barren OF hilarity
The story is one of deep interest.
1t tells of young man who tries to
spend million dollars in year SO
that he may inherit seven million.
Francis Sayles as Monty" is unu-
sually good. Mr.. Sayles seems to be
better in this part than in many
others he has taken during the
engagement here. Mr.. Sayles lasts well
with the local public and certainly
bears acquaintance" when it comes
to Theatres. Young Monty goes into
the widest of financial adventures
much to the chagrin of his old time
friend, Miss Peggy Gray, taken by
Miss Olga Worth, leading lady. Miss

costume.
After tremendous career Monty"
succeeds in spending the money and in
inheriting the vast fortune. He dare
not disclose the conditions of the will
to his anxious friends until the money
is all spent.
Miss Meta Eyferth as Mrs. Dan De-
Mile, was one of the stars" of the
evening. Miss Eyferth surprised many
by her excellent Interpretation of her
lines. Her costumes were beautiful and
she wore them well. This is the first
time Miss Eyferth has had such a good
part since her appearance here and
the public was unaware of her histri-
onic ability. She added greatly to the
success of the production Jos. Schafer
as Subby Smith was up to his usual
high standard. ]. j. Flynn, favorite
of the company had the part of Mop

should be made here Of Carl Adamson
Carl always has rather difficult parts
In that they are usually of minor val

boy, Carl was decided hit" He GER

in stock, is displayed this week by
the company and the play is certainly
we'll worth seeing. The vehicle for next
