gramme OF O new farce recently seen
here there occurred the announcement: !:
"Pajamas and dressing gown worn by
Mr.. -, designed and executed by
the Maison." Luckily this note caught
the eye of the watchful press agent be-
fore the programme was printed finally
and the phrase vas dropped. Gowns and
hats worn by the women had often been
mentioned on the programmes and the
makers of them touted. But there never
vet had been the mention Of a millincr-
even II II was a man milliner--named as

AS an evidence, however. Of the money
which may sometimes be snent on cos

tons, Il Is interesting that two pairs OF
pajamas for this actor cost $500. The
dressing gown to accompany these In
formal garments cost another 5000,
making the so-called masculine negligee
for one scene amount to S400. It Is
needless to say that the actor and not
the manager paid for this extravagant

ton Of your paper statement in which
you quote mo as saying thut I am not going
TO summon any more women juries. because
the jury composed of six women In the case
OF Ellen DAILY could not agree upon ver-
diet. and therefore disagreed. The abovl
statement IL not correct. as have not made
such. What l did say was that It was too
much trouble to get women Jurors. as most
Of them were calling me UP at the last
minute after they were subpoenaed and
wsnted 10 be excused. as they claim to havo
a party or dinner ensasement on, which
mskes It hard for the Coroner.
However. my personal opinion Of women
jurors from past experience Is that th"y
have n greater sense Of Justice than the
average male jury. as they take greater In.
terest In the testimony presented and their
finer nature makes them more apt to COM
bine mercy with Justice, as the mother in.
stinct naturally plays an importan: part in
their deliberations Of a verdict.
I therefore hope that you will in all fair.
