The French stage has lost one OF its greatest
actresses in the death Of Gabrielle Rejane.
Though her art was before all else that of
highest and subtlest comedy, she could strike
masterful chords on the deeper feelings of her
audiences when opportunity was given her.
A year and half before the war she played
in her Paris theatre in patriotic piece called
"Alsace." The French Army was marched in
piatoons to see IT, No one who saw her in
that character will forget how at Ahe end of

Neighbour Day Every Day.
To the Editor of The Evening World;
1 do not know TO whom credit Is
due for initiating the Neighbors' Day
movement, but l can frankly say that
nothing better could happen TO the
City Of New York than such a move
ment highly intensified. Why desig-
nate only one day out Of the SS5
as '1Neighbors' Day"
I am a native OF a mid-Western
metropolis running close TO the half
million mark in population, and as
such | have always known every day
as "Neighbors' Day." but when was
transplanted into New York l was
surprised TO notice the expression on
the faces of people residing in the
same building and even on the same
moor as my own apartment when l
assumed the initiative to say Good
morning. or to bid them the time, as
the case may be. have known since
NV arrival In New York of Instances
of severe illness with death knocking
at the door, yet out OF possibly
twenty-five or thirty families In the
building l believe / was about the
only one outside Of the family con-
cerned who knew OF the fact. And
have been told OF cases where persons
have died and been buried and other
families in the same building knew
nothing of II for weeks after. This
most certainly Is not true American
spirit as the founders OF our country
Intended.
NV idea OF "Neighbors' Day" would
be celebrated 365 days OF the year
and such that whenever a neighboT
is seen he would receive a friendly
word and the compliment be returned
and in cases OF severe illness, &c, a
neighbor would take some Interest In
the case and offer his service as faI
as possible. / most certainly abhoI
the class Of so called neighbors who
insist upon borrowing your dlnine
chairs and your wife's new sprinE
hat. sc. for after all that is not q
real neiBhbor.
Your good publication. through it,
editorials and news items, has con
Quoted many campaigns, though dis
couraging and drawn out over q
period OF years. TO ultimate success;
and frankly l cannot conceive Of
any movement which could be fos-
tered by your paper which would bI

presents some interesting hE-
ures, which may throw some light on
the prevalent desertion Of farms.

NND Of the questions brought up
~ at almost every women's po-
litical meeting is the shorter hours
for women. one OF the bills defeated
in the recent Legislature.
The opposition developed to this
legislation was mainly summed up
by some women like this: why
shouldn't I be permitted to work a.

Such women as a rule fail TO realize
what a hardship such a position may
lnfiict on their sisters who have no
choice in the matter whatever. Tho
general answer Is, that the unscrupn-
lous employer might compel extra
hours when no limit has been ostah-
lshed.
But the big point Of It all has seem
tngly been lost In the controversy
that woman very often must be pro
tected against herself.
In the well-lSnown washerwomnn
case, the Supreme Court held that
there were many kinds of work in
which the future of the race waasat
