WILL THE WOMEN SMOKE?

Many social changes will follow this war, everyone admits. Daily life and social manners of Europe are being upset The new practices and cus- toms following incidentally from the war will spread over here.
 A dispatch from London says that cigarette smoking has become so uni- versal among women war workers, that some of the London suburban railways are establishing women's smoking compartments on certain trains. Does that mean that smoking by women will soon become general here?
 Among the higher ups of this coun- try smoking by women is a somewhat esta blished custom. You can't argue it out that it is any worse for women than for men. But somehow it seems repugnant to the great majority of our middle class women.
 The attitude of men on such mat ters is wholly illogical. They are con- stantly condemning women for doing the things they do themselves. A great many of the men smokers would be bit shocked ito see their wives and daughters lighting up. But wo- man is a law until herself, and if she sees fit to smoke up, she will and there's an end ont.

< ss@N ..6f. ss.ts .s. . Uramatization of H.B. Wright's Famous Novel To Be Next Of-
 fering by Lyric Players

Occasionally some play strikes a note that rings out clear and true in the midst of the commonplace and in1- presses it's auditor with the thought that it was written not for fain, not for pastime, but because some man had something to say to other men, and he took this means of expression
 A.-The Shepherd of the Hills" liar old Bell Wrights dramatization of his novel of the same name, is this kind of a play MT. Wright had felt with in his soul the peace and beauty of the hills, and he wishes to get down their meaning before him. He made play that in plot is compelling. one that never fails in sincerity. The people that move in it are so human that the auditor for like and dislike as If he really knows them. There iss the Shepherd, the man who came to the hills to learn, and remained to teach; Old Matt, the man who cher ished the memory of a wrong that could never be righted; Young Matt, a Hercules of the hills country, whose strength of heart and soul equaled the, strength of his body; Sammy Lape, bright and buoyant with the youth of the hill country, and the other quaint characters that enliven the play with humor. The scene of thef play is in the high hills iof the Ozark Mountains. It is. the spirit of the land that MT. Wright has caught that makes the play one that is unique and one that will stand in a field of its own.
 MT, Wright needs no introduction to the great novel reading and play going, public. His books are known in the -four corners of the Globe, they have been translated into nearly every known language. One of MT. Wright's most famous novels, which still enjoys the destinction of holding the, worlds record as best seller, is The Printer of Udel1's''-"The Shep- herd of the Hills'' is considered by MT. Wright as his masterpiece, and was dramatized personally by the au- thor with the aid of Elsbery w. Rey- holds.
 This is the sort of play that will be offered by the Lyric players next week. Manager Isham has decided to produce in the future only the high est class of plays obtainable for stock, and f"The Shepherd of the Hills is well in keeping with his policy.
 There will be matinees on Tues day. Wednesday, Thursday and Satur- day, which time there will be five hundred seats at ten cents. In the evenings, the performance will start promptly at 8:15. Prices Is, 25, 35 and 50 cents.
