Thursday mornings are hateful morn
ings because they precede Thurs days,
which are hateful days whenever any
one is planning a good time and says
"How about Thursday?" We always
snap back ooh, no, not Thursday.
That is work day
All OF which proves that nothing is
perfect this side of the great divide
not even a job in The Tribune dramatic |
department.
Now, as matter of fact, we love
everything about newspaper work ex-
cept the writing And Thursdays being
the day when we do that, Thursdays are
our bette noirs OF course, YOU don't
have to leave it ali till Thursday
There is no law which says it may not
be spread over the whole week, but
Thursday being the dead line. every one
leaves it all until Thursday. Excepting
the boss. He does his on Friday
Oh, yes. This is well constructed
article and we are getting somewhere.
We are about to write perfectly rip
ping interview with Nora Bayes. But,
as we were saying, Thursday mornings
are awful. Our dreams of the late
morning are laden with a horrible i'm
pending something which little later
takes form and becomes a bushel of
unopened mail and six or eight or ten
chatty stories to write.
Last Thursday was the worst of all
1t was raining, and then on our break
fast tray lay nice, blue, interesting
envelope postmarked Philadelphia. We
opened it. and it was wonderful letter

nice things, and then it said "Whcn are
you going to interview Nora Bayes?
Please do her, for we think that she is
a peach"
And as we love to obige people who
say such pleasant things to us and as
we love to write about Nora Bayes
and as we had her scheduled for this
week anyway, we are doing it.
Some time ago we went to see Miss
Bayes in "Ladies First" GLOW did you
like it?" said the peg6n who always
asks our opinion, seriously.
"Splcndid,' we answered
"But isn't it all Nora Baycs ?" he
asked.

Who 8 Who in
Current Plays

Christine Norman, who plays the role
Of the neglected wife in "The Crowded
Hour" went on the stage. originally.
merely for the purpose of enabling her
to secure a musical education.
Miss Norman was living in Paris
when her voice attracted the attention
Of a number of persons, and she was
urged to study for the opera. She
had just arranged to do so, when finan-
cial reverses in the family forced ner
to abandon the plan.
Shortly aftorward Miss Norman re-
turned to America with her parents.
The idea of putting her voice to prac-
teal use, abandoned for the moment,
vas still strong in her mind The only
thing that stood in the way was the
needed money for vocal education.
To get it, Miss Norman thought of
the etage. She enrolled in dramatic
school, and her work in play. given
by the pupils at the end Of her first
YEAR was so above the ordinary that
VIII Dean, a manager for David Be-
lasco who saw the production, offered
her an engagement in 90 he Warrens of
Nirgina.' She followed Charlotte Wal
ker in the play when Il went on the
road
Miss Norman still clings to the hope
that some day she will make both
name and fortune as a singer, but
;cto
she shall achieve both results on the
dramatic stage
Following her first engagement, Miss
Norman played in Bernstcn's "lsrael."
Following that, she had important roles
in "The Bird Of Paradise" "The Avi-
ator," "Upstairs and Down" Our
Children" peg O. My Heart" and. of
course, "The Uncnastencd Woman in
which she scored one of the real hits
Of her career.
In both the last named play and
'"lhe Crowded Hour Miss Norman's
parts are rather similar. SO neglected
has she been in her recent stage ex-
periences, Mss Norman confesses she
is getting rather anxious to have a
part where some man falls desperately

GaStineau Gossip (An Intercepted Letter.

Dear Mary:
 You are in for another session with me. A new year, Mary, and it has started happily. You in the South who are picturing us, freezing with the cold of Alaska, cease pity ing us. Do you know that it is ac- tually warm here? Instead of the feet and feet of snow that was on the ground this time last Winter, there isn't a bit of it now, and that is really something to be happy about. Then, the influenza epidemic is over, and we can cough or sneeze to our hearts content without fright ening people into spasms out of fear that we have the flu.
 Did you know that Mrs. Townsend has been doing war work in Wash ington, D. C. for the last several months? She and her husband left Latouche as soon as her husband got his commission in the Engineer $ Corps. He is stationed near Wash ington. One might have known that Mrs. Townsend would not be idle long in Washington. She is such an active person that in Washing ton there was so much to do, she just had to do something.

COUNCIL WILL
 STAND A SUIT
 ON PROPERTY
At Meeting Last Evening Refuses to Lower As- sessment on Zynda
 Property.

Considerable routine business was transacted at the Council meeting last night Two months bills were allowed and after the amount TOT them was deducted the clerk report ed there remained in the City Treas ury the sum of $17,000. Q
 The School Board asked for So,- 900 for current expenses.
 The committees report was accept ed on cancelling taxes for flood sui ferers on Gold Creek. The Council voted to allow the assessment against the property of s. Zynda stand, even though suit was threatened. The Board of Equalization agreed to fol low the same valuation for assess ment as used year ago, at which time the Zynda property was as sessed for $30,000. Through a cler- ical error a card was sent out mak- ing the assessment s25,000. The Councilmen thought to allow such a precedent to be established would give loophole to property owners every time an error might be made and was not wise procedure
 An agreement from Mrs. Grace Lewis granting the city a right-of way on property for Willoughby Ave nue, was approved by the Council.
 The question of collecting Federal licenses from all cigar stores which sell candy and soft drinks was also brought up, and the officers were ordered to get the money.

The Youno idea.

An eighth grade tencher sends us a
few sample answers from n recent ex-
animation in American history. The
list is amusing, and we select these
two for printing:
1.-THE Pilgrims were n religious sex
that did not believe in the doctoring of
the Church of England"
1.-The only means of communication
the colonists had was by horseback,
and in this way 1t took quite long
time for letters to go to England"
Which reminds us of an examina-
ton paper In literature, shown us by
another teacher not long ago. 1t con-
tanned this statement:
1.-THE Autocrdt of the Breakfast
Table was written by Ralph Waldo
Emerson, md its general plan was to
produce perfect etiquet at meals"

PRETTY LEGEND OF eARNETs
Chiefs Daughter Imparts Tails
manic Power to Stones.

There Is n garnet mine In Arizona so
rich In gems that the owners some
times say the whole mountain In which
II Is located Is n mountain of gnrnets.
The Apache Indians. near whose reser-
walton the mountain stands. have
strange myth concerning the gnrne:s.
One night centuries ago. they say, the
little daughter of great chief died.
AS her spirit passed out, the Indians
gathered about saw multitude of
sparks fly up from the tepee and drift
Ing through the air In shining cloud
settle on the mountain side. where they
shone like star dust. making the noun
tain bright. Later, they declare. the
sparks which continued to shine. never
growing cold or dead, sank into the
earth and became garnets.
The Indians believe that the spirit
of the chiefs daughter still stands
guard over the mountain and imparts
to all the garnets found there tnlis-
manic powers to bring good luck to nll
who wear them. These gnrnets are
mined now and sold all Over the coun-
try in rings. necklaces and bracelets
for pale-face maids. Many OF the gar.
net rings are made In swastika design
the Indian good-luck sign-and any
who happen to buy one may be sure of
prosperous fortune ever afterward.
