Men Can Never Understand Why
Women Dote ON Weepy Plays

three handkerchiefs and comes away
from powdering her nose and wiping
her eyes.
Also, women are strong for ro-
nance and plays i'll which good
looking man, in perfectly fitting eve
ming clothes, pops the question to a
beautiful heroine in soulful manner.
1t is the sad, sad secret OF every
womans' life that men are short on
romance and that they muff the ball
when they make love. A man means
well, and his proposal is a perfectly
good business proposition that the
woman is only too glad to accept, but
it breaks her heart because he makes
it in the wrong way.
He gurgles and gasps, and threatens
to choke, and then blurts out few
commonplace words, instead of muir
muring poetic things, and gently
drawing her to his manly bosom with
out mussing her back hair, as the
matinee hero docs on the stage.
That's why women pay out good
money to see real first-class, work
manlike job OF love making.
Ii is because the only romance that
most women ever encounter is what
they see on the stage that gives the
saccharinc play its vogue. And by the
l.same token, the reason that women
like this kind OF play is the reason
that men loath it. 1t must make the
average man sqirm in his orchestra
chair to see Otis Skinner or John
Drew, or Faversham make love and
remember the way in which he pro-
posed to his own Maria.
The ordinary man seldom likes a
problem play, either. 1t isn't his idea
of spending joyous evening having
his soul torn to shreds by the suffer-
ings OF Magdalene. On the other
hand women who are vivisectionists
by nature, rcvel in probing into the
heart secrets OF the miserable and
those who have made general mess
OF life.
That is why women flock to Ibsen
and Sudermann plays, while the
average man takes the position OF the
western dramatic critic who wound up
review OF Ghosts" by saying that
undoubtedly it was grand and mas
terly piece of work, but, thank God,
Dockstader's Ministries come to town
next week.
Likewise, women are strong Tor
plays that teach moral lessons. They
make OF the thcater their church, and
OF the actors their moral teachers,
while men want just the opposite
something that will not make them
think, but that will rest their minds
after the strenuous work Of the day
something pleasant and light. and d.
verting- something away from the
worries and anxicties that they have
studied over until their very thoughts
have become muddled.
And, perhaps. this is the explana-
ton Of the real reason that women
like one sort of play and men another,
1t is because we each ask Of the stage
something that takes US out OF our
own little narrow round, and the
round OF man and a woman arc
seldom the same.

city limits were passed, and~nearly a
thousand, third of the entire force,

But when the facts were reported
to the officer commanding the dis

There spoke the real spirit of the
professional soldier, and incidentally
furnished vivid revelation of the true
inwardness of part OF the seventies
and hardships imposed upon militia
recruits. It is partly form of grown
up hazing practiced by the regular
upon the volunteer. The first article
of professional military ethics is a
profound contempt for the civilian,
and particularly for that brand of
civilian who calls himself or pretends
to be soldier, the militiamen or vol
unteer. Therefore, the first step in
his military education is to put him
in bis proper place, and make him
realize the enormous and unbridge-
able gap which lies between him and
the regular, and what a poor creature
of pasteboard and sawdust he is COM
pared to real soldier. What's the
use of being a regular if you can't
prove your superiority over a militia
man at the militiaman's expense?
1t is only fair to say that these
rough-shod methods are but a sur
vival OF the old, stupid, medieval ideas
of training and discipline which began

"Oh, | was disappointed in it, said
the woman; everybody told me il

The husband turned upon his wife

Nobody could answer this question,
Otherwise theatrical managers would

According to appearances, the vast
majority Of the persons who take part
IN the revival OF the summer life OF
Saratoga find the attraction that
draws them in the races, But there
are few, ike me, who care nothing
for the races, but a great deal for
the wonderful springs.
New York never did wiser off
cial act than when it recovered the
Saratoga mineral springs and threw
around them the protection OF a pub
lie reservation. The valley of the
springs at Saratoga is the focus OF a
natural marvel that has few equals
OF its kind in the world II is not
spectacular, like the Yellowstone gcy-
ser region, but 1t is beautiful and
there hangs about its green hollows,
its conical hillets, its dark groves and
its many little spouts OF strange tast-
ing. stimulating, healing water an at
mospbcre or a sense OF mystery
which penctrates into the magnifi-
cent shaded courts OF the immense ho-

ments and drinking halls,
Saratoga, notwithstanding its long
and severe course OF sophistication
under the patronage of millionaires,
sportsmen and ultrafashionable per-
sons, remains essentially as roman
fic as it was in the days when the In
dams came miles through the unbrok-
en- forests to drink the wonderful wa
tiers that the Manitou caused to gush
out OF the earth for the healing of his
red children.
Making Saratoga's springs state
reservation was an experiment in gov
eminent ownership, about The wis

opinions. Wien nature provides such
q gift it does not intend it for private
exploitation. Today the springs, some
OF which had practically ceased to
flow few years ago, and had lost
the greater part OF their peculiar min
efal qualities, are restored to their
pristine state of richness and abun-

that he would obey brainlessly and
