pictures of themselves
 Mind you, I don't have any use for the person who makes a fearful protest against having his picture appear. That's a kind of false mod esty about as far removed from the real article as immodesty. And sometimes it's simply a pretense to hide a real eagerness. If the pub- lie has reason to be interestd in your appearance, why not permit them to see your picture? It won't hurt you a bit, and the really big people are too busy being and doing to think much about the matter one way or another.
 Little Pcttincss That Broods Over Lit
 tie Grievances.
 That pettiness ran away with me. You see I still have considerable feeling on the subject left over from my reportorial days. Incidentally it has crowded out any detailed men, tion of the other pettinesses. but you know what they are-the pettiness that stores up and broods over a small grievance; the pettiness that goes about with a chip on it's shoulder al- ways thinking someone is trying to slight Or impose upon it; the pettiness that lets envy or the consciousness of another's superior worth breed dis. like in it's heart; and oh, so many more than I can't think of just now, but that you can think of for your self!
 Of course I don't mean that these pettinesses are peculiar to women. Far from it. But I do think women arc rather more inclined to the vice of pettiness than men. We've had petty lives. Why shouldn't we be?
 But this is new era. We're not going to be petty any longer. We are going to be so occupied with the big real things of life that we won't have time for pettiness.

early. I feared for a repetition of the experience of Friday evening. But the laws of convention and hospitality bound me. felt that I could not pro- test Mrs. Underwood apparently had no such scruples She clutcned Dicky by the arm and swung him around facing her.
 Is Madge Mistaken?
 Now see here, my Dickybird," she began, you begin this special bottle kind of business and I walk out of here I should think you and Harry would have had enough of this on Fri day evening. We came over here to- day for a little visit, and tonight we'll sit on either the water wagon or the beer wagon, just as Mrs. Graham says But you boys won't start any of these special drinks, or I'll know the reason why"
 "Oh, cut it out, Lil," her husband said, not grossly, but mechanically, as if it were a phrase he often used. But Dicky laughed down at her, although I knew by the look in his eyes that he was much annoyed.
 All right, Lil," he said easily. 'I suppose Madge will fall in gratitude on your neck for this when she gets you into the seclusion of her room. You haven't any objection to our hav- ing a teenty-weenty little smoke, have you, mamma dear?''
 Go as far as you like,'' she returned ignoring the sheer.
 As I turned and led the way to my room, I was conscious of curiously mingled emotions. Relief at the elimi- nation of the special bottle with its inevitable consequences and resent ment that Dicky should so meekly obey the dictume of another, woman, battled with each other. But strong er than either was a dawning wonder. From the conversation I had over heard in the theater dressing room and from trifling things in Mrs. Un- lerWood's own conduct, I had been ed to believe that she was sentiment lily interested in Dicky, and that some ime in the future might have to bat le with her for his affections. But Ter speech to him which had just overheard savored more of the mother aying down the law to a refractory ;hild than it did of anything ap- preaching sentiment Could it be, I l sked myself, that I had been mis- 1 aken?

HARTFORD OFFICIALS :.
 GUESTS AT POLPS

A party of about forty Hartford city officials were the guests of Manager Neal Harper at Polis theater last evening, being present to see the pre- sentation of the motion pictures show ing the dedication of the new Munici- Ial Building, which were taken under the direction of Manager Harper. When the caption, Dedication of Eartfords New Municipal Building, which were taken under the direction costing $1 ,670, 0,00O," was shown, there was generous applause in which the city fathers joined. The city officials also enjoyed the presentation of David Belasco's wonderful political romantic comedy drama, The Wife," in which the Poli Players are scoring a decided hit this week. The play concerns the conflict of opposing political forces, but this feature of the story is kept in the background. being surrounded by the association

Pettiiness

And what do you think! The women who are giving the dance, for the benefit of the Town Improvement Fund have decided they won't come near our fair for the Old Folks Home because we put it in the same week.
 This is the interesting bit of news which neighbor of mine brought me the other day.
 Just fancy women who are all eX- erting themselves in one good cause or another being guilty of such abom1nable pettiness as that!
 She Won't Speak to Her Neighbor.
 Again, a friend of mine in an- other state writes me that her right hand neighbor, an ardent anti-suffra- gist, will not speak to her left-hand nelghbor because the latter is work ing for suffrage.

 The thing I hope most of the new women is that she will try to shuck off the pettiness that has been hiding and hampering her big ger self.
 Out upon all such pettinesses, say! And alas! there are so many of them.
 There's the pettiness of the wo- men who do charitable and philan- thropic work not for the works sake, not for the love of humanity, but in order to be on committees, to meet people above them socially, to see their names printed in programmes and in newspaper reports. Once up- on a time, I was a reporter on q newspaper. Some of my friends used to say to me, "I don't see how you get all those people to have their pie lures in the paper"

THE CANNON oLIGARcHY.-
The last issue of the official organ"
of the Catholic Order of ForesterS
contains a report Of the proceedings
of the Illinois state court. Among
other things I read where Thomas H.
Cannon, for q years the executive
head and a candidate for another
term, was elected chairman of the
committee to select the delegates to
the international convention, in
which he will be a candidate for a
life term.
Will the rank and file" after read
ing the "hand-picked" delegates. say
how many of them will dare oppose
another term for the king? In the
same issue appears an official order
Ievying a quarterly special assess
ment of 25 cents on each member
146,OOO in ALL, amounting to $780,
500, or $4,000 annually. If the or
der has a reserve fund of 100000,
and by denying direct representation
to the subordinate courts, which
would mean a convention of 300
delegates and a saving of $15O,OOO BIZ
ennially, why is a special assessment
amounting to $292,OOO bi-annuaI1y
levied on the membership? Does this
not look like government without

If the official organ" would only
reproduce this article in advance of

awaken to the fact that while the or

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION

SOHT OLSONI HNDI FNH IOINs-
An editorial in The Day Book says
that arbitration instead of strikes to
settle wage scales cannot be made
compulsory by law because that
would take away from the working
man his rights of freedom.
l don't know what the trust press
dope was about the desired law be-
cause I never take any any more. l
haven't money and time enough.
It.may seem that a compulsory ar
bitratiOn law would take away the
freedom from the working men, but
the cars should run, the lights should
be ready when evening comes, the
gas, water, ETC., should be available
when needed. These utilities are ne
cessities and useful cOnveniences
needed by the public every day;
hence strikes to settle wage scales
are not only crude, but unjust
AS it is, it seems that school men
would be best adapted as members of
arbitration boards representing en-
ployes because they would bring into
play voice and brains which would
not be overlooked by employers
whose children are educated in their
classes.
Why not have an arbitration board
elected at prevailing elections?
The second paragraph Of Mr. NJ. H.

either a misprint or he did not read
my letter correctly. I hope with him
for a good result of the carmen arbi-
tratiOn. We must bear in mind that
the evolution of man should and must
progress in the direction of using
mental intelligence instead of force
to settle differences, private, munich
pal, national and international.
Strikes are too much like brute force.
It certainly causes brutalities; arbi-
tratiOn develOpes mental intelligence

FLONZALEYS VIE
WITH NEW OPERA
Attract Fine Audience of Lovers
of Chamer Music at
Second Concert.

The Flonzaley Quartet gave its sec
ond subscription concert last night IN
Aeolian Hall, and, despite the counter
attraction Of a new opera at the Met
ropolitan, an audience of fine size at
tended. The lovers Of chamber music
ever refuse to be seduced by the more
famboysnt appeal of the lyric stage,
even when upon that stage struts a
simulacrum of the Great Corsican.
There were only two numbers on last
nights programme, but IN the contrast
between their spirits there lay all the
difference of the centuries. The Haydn
Quartet in d major. No. >, has all the
grace, the charm, the urbanity of the
classic age; the Roger Quartet IN ID
minor is not, perhaps, one of the most
ultra of the German composers COM
positions, but it is sufficiently Roger
ish. especially in the first movement,
TO leave little doubt as to It's parent
age. .,
The four musicians seemed equally
at home in each of the compositions.
The intricacies of the Roger music they
threaded with skill and assurance, and
they gave the Haydn Quartet with a
breadth of style and a purity of tone
that we're altogether admirable. The
second movement of the Roger Quartet,
with its evanescent bits of melody, was
in particular delightfully."- given, and
gave the wish that the great contra
puntist would more often descend thus
TO the level of ordinary understanding
The audience listened throughout
with attention.

II is something in these days OF
prancing prims donnas and Smashing
musical hits" to sit through a comedy
with music where you are not called
upon TO become wildly enthusiastic.
There is a certain amount OF satlsiac-
ton in sitting back comfortably IN an
orchestra chair and being politely en-
tertained. Perhaps that Is not the
effect which the producers of Ninety
in the Shade" had in mind when they
presented it last night at the knicker-
booker Theatre, but that IS the way n
which TO take II. There's nothing o.
the scorching in its atmosphere, nor IN
the performances of its twin stars
Marie Cahill and Richard Carrie.
Just what the title OF this new mu-
steal piece with a book by Guy Bolton
and music by jerome Kern has 70 DO
with the plot is bit hard to say, after
seeing the play only once. The scenes
are laid in the PHILIPPINES, where they
do say the climate is hot, and Richard
Garlic as an admrer of femininity does
find himself in bit OF warm water as
A result of it. But it is really nothing
TO get excited about. Even the pres
cnce of lady called 'the Hot Tamale"
IN the cast uOtS lOl ihdht NhN oNN's wv
spicy for family consumption.
Aside from Miss Cahill, the most
pleasing things in the play are some
Of the musical numbers which Mr..
Kern has written, and the way IN
which they are given. If one song
could make the success OF muslcai
comedy. then where's the Girl for
Ne" sung by Edward Martindel would
make Ninety in the Shade the sue
cess of the season. There has been
nothing better this year than the way
in which Mr.. Martindel. with an ex-
ceptional bass voice and ilne pres
ence, sings this song. Too bad II IS
his only one.
All that really matters Is that the
play gives Marie Cshill an opportunity
TO return TO the stage IN New lorh'
She is Polly cambridge, widow, en-
gagged TO Richard earle, according 20
the programme, but more than mat
she is her own pleasing self she mas
all her clever little tricks OF maAing
the commonplace seem brilliant. and
though her voice may be subject Tor
criticism. her way of using II 10 gain
comic effects is not. She is unique
in musical comedy. Any author who
writes d play in which she viii appear
has vote of thanks due him.
Mr.. earle divided the honors o. the
electric sign and the advertisements
with her. In the play he loses her TO
another man because OF his wandering
affections. Just Row and why his sen
timents vacillate is what the play Is
all about. The explanations really do
not mstter-eXcept 10 the author.
Some people think Mr.. earle is a CAPT
