 Somebody always is trying to take the t.joy out of life. I've noticed re- gently in newspapers and magazines much adverse comment the rapid iy spreading tendency among girls to go out after the scalps of ,unprotect- ed persons of my sex The complaint is made that, whether we are mar ried or single, the dear girls are crazy to get us go:ngto lead us on to tell 'em how we are misunderstood at home. and then reward us with af- fectionate sympathy up to point where we lose our heads, when they calmly gather in our scalp and pass on to the next.
 l am informed on reliable authori- ty that this so-called evil is now so rampant in London that a society of esteemed wives, mothers and old maids has been organized for the purpose of eNerting moral suasion on all girl sca1p-hunterS and make them promise to behave. They held a meeting of ways and means at the Iyceum club, at which the chairwo- man said:

But thatse no excuse for eXerting her at fractions, hit-or- miss, on other Wo- mems husbands or fiances merely to add to their collection of scalps This evil must be stopped .3 Now, rise to protest.

IN THE THEATRES
LYRIC (Review.)

The PoH Players sprung a genuine surprise on their friends last night by appearing in black face during the presentation of that extrem ely laughable comedy scream, Come Seven," which opened the week at the Lyric. Come Seven" is from the pen of Octavhs Roy Cohen, who has made such of it with his negro char acter stories.
 The story of the play is of a dia- mond ring and a crap game The ring is substituted and pawned but eventually returns to it's original owner with another and profit to all concerned except the skinffint who wants to get married more than any, thing in the world.

 fThe theatre managers in general have received the conlmendation of the government for the part they have played in meeting the increase of cost of running the government. and they have done this cheerfuI1y Q aa patriotic duty,'' declares a prom inent manager of a New York thea tre and two theatrical companies "But there is a, limit to their pa tience and they begin to suspect thar this new imposition is made because they accepted the former burdens without protest. Now, however, there should be common ground=3for objection to this new tax.

 The feature is musical travesty on the movies entitled His Reel Peaches" Billy Kelly, the comedian, has the audience laughing from start to finish. being extremely funny in his actions, and having a wonderful combination of original wit and rep artee. The girls who assist him are all pretty and are ve-y clever dancers.
 Ioress1eri and Klaiss are holding up the houses at each shtow. This is a piano act with a comedian of the ec- centric type who works in panto- mime except for a curtain speech. His makeup and unusual methods of producing laughter make an un- usually interesting skit.
 The Ballot Trio, equilibrists, aside from being among the topnotcherS of their line, have the faculty of making every movement of their act artistic. The scenery and setting also shows a refinement usually lacking in acts of this kind, and they carry a little dog who seems to enjoy himself as much as the audience which applauds him.
 Stanley and Lea present a musical act, their instruments being the banjo and accordian which they play very well. Wardelle and La Coste, a trio, and comedy. They were well ap- plauded for their sterling efforts.
 William Faversham in "The Sin That Was His'' has been so favorably commented on that it is useless tC say more. This picture is considered the crowning achievement of an ex- ceptionally brilliant career. Clyde Cock has taken the place of Charlie Chaplin in the hearts of those that like that comedy.
