New York. = Women Of the stage
have long been looked upon as wicked
especially by those harbored, pamper-
ed individuals who have never been
throwwn Into a phase of life demand
Ing utter frankness and a strength of
character, not given to everyone, to
combat that indefinable borderland Of
emotion and action between frankness
and abandon. But though many act
resses continue virtuous despite the
environment, more or less lax, of the
theater, II Is not often that they go to
such extremes as occurred In New
York last week. A young girl who was
playing the part Of Parisian-bred
woman, which We may imagine called
Cor risque language and ultra-modern
dress and actions, gave notice to the
manager that she was cancelling her
contract because It was case Of do
ing so or renouncing her church affili-
ations. Wouldn't you like to see this
girl, in the rouge, decolletage and
mannerisms incidental to her stage
work, transplanted to the midst of a
safer-clad, solemn congregation? And
yet the heart Of her would be the same
as demonstrated by her remuneration

Maysville Women Are Finding Relic,

II does seem that women have more
than a fair share of the aches and
pains that afflict humanity: they must
keep up" must attend to duties in
spite Of constantly aching backs, or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down
pans; they must stoop over, when to
stoop means torture. They must walk
and bend and work with racking pains
and many aches from kidney ills.
Keeping the kidneys well has spared
thousands Of women much misery.
Read OF remedy for kidneys only
that Is endorsed by people you know.
Mrs. z. L. Cullen, 332 West Second
street, Maysville, says: Three years
ago l had an attack Of kidney trouble
and my back ached continually. I had
no ambition to do my housework and
everything seemed O drag to me while
going about 1t. / had binding, didzy
spells and my head aclled all the time.
MY Kidneys were not ucting regularly
and In other ways showed signs OF
disorder. Doan's Kidney Pills were
recommended to me and I sent to
Wood & Sons drug store and got q
box. After using them l got over the
trouble entirely and have never since
been bothered. / willingly recon-
mend this remedy"

My artistocrat Of the stage is soon
to be with US. The woman who walks,
talks and breathes as only lady can,
no matter what her role may be, is
due in a play by Zoe Atkins, known as
the Varying Short" Elsie Ferguson
is to have part totally unlike any
thing she has yet portrayed. Yet
every one knows how she will play it.
A curious thing about this piece is
that the order of the action Is com
pletely reversed; the play opens with
the leading lady in the last years OF
her life and through the succeeding
acts one is carried back through her
career. This novelty and the amazing
aptitude of Miss Atkins for writing in
triguing plays, makes yet another
event in the midst of busy theatrical
year.
Ny
Folks in this town are greatly given
to what the English call Side" The
expression means putting on extras
which are not part of us but are
done for impressive purposes. For IN
stance. one caterer in New Yorl
makes a speciality Of sending the mos
beautiful and luscious tropical fruit
conceivable in lovely ornamental
bowls to the house of people who are
entertaining. He does 1t on a pure
gamble. The hostess does not expec
the fruit to be eaten. 1t would be quite
like cutting rose out Of an attractive
canvass, SO perfect is the picture made
b ythe collection Of fruit II, however
some very grasping guest should nib
