 Being not quite recovered from my lazy after-C Christmas mood, I have been re-reading my beloved Jane Austens books instead of acquaint- ing myself with something new.
 The above quotation is from Mansfield Park" and I have intro duced it here, because it illustrates that thing in these books which struck me most strongly this time, and that is the remarkable amount of fiiial respect and duty which was taken for granted in this portryal of the life of a century ago.
 It Wasn't Customary For Girl to
 Justify Herself.
 Susan, of the quotation, defends herself from an unfair accusation of laziness, by giving an account of what she has been doing. It Is difficult to SeDA -oAN+ of today who would not thus justify herself. And yet so far was such way of speaking to ones mother from the usages of good society, that, as you perceive the well-bred Fanny is startled.
 In Pride and Prejudice as you doubtless remember, Mrs. Bennett, the ill-bred. silly mother of two charming, well-bred girls, drives away two desirable young men who were on the verge of falling in love with her daughters by her vulgar manners and her indiscretion in talk ing to her neighbor about the elder daughters engagement before it had materialized.
 They Never Though of Remonstrat-

 The girls are too sensitive and in telligent not to suffer constantly from their mothers vulgarity, and yet in spite of this and in spite of the fact that the elder is almost heart

LYCEUM NEARLY SOLD
 OUT FOR NEXT WEEK

During the entire course of it's career the Lyceum theater has never done the wonderful business that has marked the present week in which "The Blindness of Virtue'' is setting g new records for attendance. Next week is expected to be the banner week of the season partly because the return of an old faVorite, Mrs. Ade- laide Hubbard, has been announced, and again owing to the great popular lty eVinced in the work of the re- gently organized stock company. An other factor which presages capacity houses at the Lyceum next week is the popularity of the play Kick In, '' which has been the talk of theater- dom for the past year and which has never been produced on local stage
 The Alfred Cross players are working overtime in order to present a finish ed production on next Monday night All the lines have been mastered, the rehearsals take up three and four hours every day, and the scenery is being made and painted Under the direction of Weston Kendall, who won recognition by the wonderful garden scene he arranged for this week S production, "kick-In' will be put on in an elaborate manner. During the past week several New York thea trical men passing through New Brit ain dropped in to see the garden of sweet-peas in the opening scene of "The Blindness of Virtue" and pro- nounced it one of the prettiest effects they had ever witnessed. There are more than three thousand sweet-peas depicted on the stage.
 The advance sale for seats at aii performances to "Kick-In'' has started at Crowell's drug store, and ; arrangements have been made for taking care of special reservations at the theater.: Manager Lynch is fear 1 ful lest some of his regular patrons 1 meet with disappointment in not i being able to get their. favorite seats 1 Standing room only may be in order l during the early part of the week
 and 1t is doubtful if after tomorrow ! another seat can be gotten for the 1 opening night. Many of Mrs. Hib- l bard's friends have planned parties

COTTON IS DAMAGED.
 . IN EASTERN STATES.
Government Report States Crop Is Showing Good
 West of Mississippi

Washington, July 19.-Cotton im- proved west of the Mississippi but was damaged in the eastern states dur ing the week which ended yesterday. Reviewing conditions for the week the National Weather and Crop Bulletin today said:
 Weather was favorable for cotton west of the Mississippi and in Tennes- see, except that it is beginning to need rain in Oklahoma and Arkansas. In Oklahoma the crop improved, is gen. fine condition.
 Showers were favorable in southern Texas and picking is under way in the central and southern portions of that state. Boil weevils are less active in Texas
 "The bolls are forming and holding well in Louisiana and the plants are in good to excellent condition in most places in Arkansas. In Tennessee the fields are well cultivated, the plants are fruiting well and are free from in- sects and disease. The plants showed considerable improvement in North Carolina, although still short.
 "The conditions were less favorable, however, in Mississippi, Alabama, Geor- gia, South Carolina and western Flor ida. especially in the lowlands. There is considerable complaint of shedding and some rust is reported in Alabama and Georgia. The fields are grassy in the 1owlands and damage by boil weevil has increased. On the uplaHds in these states cotton continues prom ising and is developing we'll In extreme western Florida the damage by the tropical storm of last week is reported to be from 25 to 50 per cent"
 Corn was damaged somewhat by the flood in southeastern states, while the crop needs rain badly in some southwestern districts. Early corn ma turing with excellent yields in Texas. but the late crop has been injured by drouth.
 Potatoes showed favorable condition except that rain is needed in the south- west.
 Sweet potatoes are growing we'll in the south, except where affected by the floods of the last two weeks.
 Peanuts are very promising and have made good progress except where af- fected by floods.
 Sugar cane is showing good condi- tion.
 Rice is reported in excellent condi- tion in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.
 Some tobacco topping has been done in Virginia and the first cutting IS be- ing cured in North Carolina.

Reactionary Aristocracy of England

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Every true man sympa thizes with Belgium and wishes success to gallant American citizen ought take sides with England and wish to see her subdue Germany. There is not a sin that Ger many has committed that England ha S not been equally guilty of. In triumph either would be intolerably arrogant insolent and overbearing, as all history proves. And were England to down Germany or Germany to down Eng land (neither of which is going to hap pen), we would have to fight one or the other of them to maintain our rights before 10 years were past
 The only outcome of the present con flict that the rest of the world can look forward to with complacency is a sus- pension of hostilities through sheer cx- haustion on both sides. When in fact both are "bled white." and the conceit rivalry they can be of service to one another England can certainly learn much from Germany, if she will, out she is unwarrentably conceited and un- teachable, and lis settled on her lees.'' as Jeramiah said of Moab long ago. which Is a sure sign of decadence. Those two nations might behave them- selves like neighbors and not like tigers thirsting for one another's blood or hating one another like devils. When Germany made advances for peace, England rejected them with scorn because Germany did not ap- proach her on her knees groveling in the dust. England's actions show that she has murder in her heart toward Germany and will be satisfied with nothing short of her complete subjuga- ton and destruction, but that is a long way off yet England thinks in her heart that she will subdue Germany just as she subdued Napoleon 100 years ago. She ought to know that it was that foolish invasion of Russia that made it possible for her to down France and put back the worthless bourbons in power and incidentally put back the wheels of progress 25 years, too.
 But England will never down Ger many, notwithstanding her superior

The Housewife's Independence

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 am one of hundreds of housewives. struggling to keep domestic peace, who read in the morning edition of The Age Herald, the editorial, Denver House. wives Facing Sabotage"
 I am wondering why, in this time of much business of great state and na- tional importance, and events of human interest such a subject has been chosen. The writer must know it can only work harm, both to the mistress of the house and the servant. It is really a deplorahle state of affairs when families are 'fblack- listed,'' when their virtues and failings are catalogued. minimized and exag- black, seeking a living at their hands. and absolutely dependent on them for tbeir daily bread.
 The advice given to speedily "knuckle under and promise to be good" is amaz- ing. I will never believe the southern woman will ever cringe to or bow down before her servant, be they cook or maid, or man servant.
 The domestic worker who cares so little for the comfort of the family that she SHldSHeS llHo CIuHd, puts TeQ pepper III the soup, salt in the sherbet, served at parties, and spells the dinners" for spite generally, merits summary dismissal. We can protect ourselves from this class by requiring recommendation from the la st employer giving the servant a good name. No one wants the other kind at any price. A vicious domestic is a menace to the household, while good one is a bless ing. It is unusual to keep anything but jeweP' to destroy our family happi- ness. We find it safer to do without The best families in the world sometimes have labor troubles. Ignorance and incompe- tence walk forth demanding wages given the trained and agreeable servant We help and show them how to be patient, kind and pay them our good money. Why, then, should we not in exchange receive respect and good work? When they show disposition to run over us and be dis obedient to our demands, let them go. Running house is a business just as running store or office. Men do dot tolerate threats, indolence. or stealing Why must the housewife? Respectfully,
 MRS. GERALD JASPER.
