ON SECOND THOUGHT
BY JAY e: HOUSE.
(From rhiladslphia Public Ledgefl

1t may have occurred to you that
our note OF comment touching the To-
cation of the presidents summer res
idsnce was a trifle scerbetic. We got
that res otion in rereading it, which We
did while pursuing our daily search for
ing against Woods Hole. 1t is merely
that. IL we We're spending a summer on
the Massachusetts, coast, we're prefer
Martha's Vineyard.
We know nothing Of either Of these.
Martha's Vineyard sounds more allur-
ing to us than Moods Hole.
The New York critics have decided
Theda Bara isn't much of an actress.
Having met her casually upon one oc-
casion. and having successfully with
stood the experience. we go on record
with the opinion that she isn't much
of a vamp. All OF which leads US into
the widely advertised field of specpla-
tien. What is the secret of Miss
Bara's drag with the public??
what japanese Think of the Ladies'.
Men laugh with their hearts. women
only with their mouths.
Men who like to take photos with
their wives are henpecked.
Women admire women of their own
| type.
Men who can neither brag nor fiat
ter need not fear being loved by wo-
| men.
A wife who does not know how to
please her husband makes him com
/ nit no end of blunders.
Ills women who know they are ugly
, that powder their faces.

effusive, in our lucubrations concern
ing the attractive sex.
And that reminds u.s. Do you re-
member away back fourteen or fif-
| teen years ago, when we were all KISS
ing the Japanese? It was triumph
in OSCILLATION to which most OF the
newspapers, some of the statesmen
and almost the entire membership OF
the proletariat contributed.

present campaign.

It isn't much of a feat to produce
newspaper that can be read aloud in
the home. Very few of the publicity
mediums that attempt 1t fall in the
performance. But no newspaper would
dare print the talk current around
the average hearthstone.
We do not mind it IL much that we
say is misunderstood and miscon-
strued. We prefer to have 1t so. But
there is one point we wish TO make
clear: The demand for gentlemen
who are able to do female imper-
senations does not proceed from the
column.

some progress in the field of descrip
