umphantly! But we are always glad. We know that at least two persons arc happy, and we wouldn't really lave to have any show after that at all. They'd think 1t was grand any how.
 Troubles of ushers? Let's see.
 It's with electric fans and bald headed man." said the girls behind the jobs
 Know What to Expect
 When we seat a baldheaded man, and it's near fan, we don't expect anything but that in few minutes the man will he signalling, and be- seeching:
 Won't you please turn that thing off '
 Sometimes we do--and sometimes we don't. If we do, there usually comes great howl from any mum Der of other persons who want the fan turned back on. They are dy- ing with the heat-'suffocating.' If WIG don't the baldheaded man spends miserable evening. So we usually compromise by turning the fan off for little while. and then on for a little while. In this way, we know we are satisfying some of the people | etll titt liiHttA IL S lne DthL We cH1 do. For we can't move the fixtures.''
 When all is said and done, just like in every other walk of life, 1t pays to be sweet For if you've been nice. and are talking. giggling or discussing the subject loudly. the little ushers will slip over and tell you to be quiet, instead of summon ing the superintendent the police, or the flogging squad.
 However, such services are really very embarrassing and trying to an usher--the most embarrassing of anything except having to meet cer- tain types of youthful smart -Alecs who proclaim loudly:
 "i'li say she's the prettiest usher in thls theatre Aint she a peach though? She's my grill Hey
 The little ushers have never been able to understand how any youth or man hoped to make any headway by such manner. or get himself admired by any woman.
 Disgusting
 1t simply disgusts redblooded girls. and sensible ones. And they agreed that if 4 girl really craved sweet heart and wanted to marry it wouldn't be that type which would

girls. No wife could ever be sure she alone possessed the love of that sort of man. The men that women really admire are those who are courteous. dignifled and refined, who mind their own business. and who, if they address a woman. do so in a kindly, businessllke way
 What do you think of that for early learning to know the world?
 As for actors, actresses and perfor- mances-ushers know how to size them up.
 Having seen so many hundreds. about tell, after one good look at the actors. whether there was going to be a good bill.
 Just the way actors move them selves around is an index to what they can do, and while many of them often act stuck up or something, we do our best for them If We have to help them in any may. The fun niest thing about actors is. though. that most of them wander about by themselves. There'll be a girl-and- boy act, whore they make all sorts of dying love on the stage, but just as soon as the curtain is down, you'll see that man in one place and the girl in another.
 Lined up md Lonesome
 Sometimes we can count five or six actors standing between the theatre and the Ten Cent Store. every one of them by himself, and every one ; of them looking lonesome. Their main expression seems to be that they wish they were somewhere else. And I guess that's the way they ap- pear in the next town they come to. Their lives mostly seem to be spent between the hotel and the stage. After they learn this route, they ap- pear to let the rest of the town go by. Sometimes we speak to them and they speak to us. But mostly they are absorbed in their thoughts.
 To be successful ushers-and these girls certainly are--and mighty. mighty sweet. they put the principal of modesty first; then politeness; then kill 'em with kindness"
 And you'll find that, If you'll hold your temper and be reasonable. they'er way ahead of you all the time, ready to help you out in all dif- ficulties any little moment you want to try them out. They'er one reason that the big, wonderful old Lyric is so popular with you and me and all of us. Watch the delft way they handle the crowds next time you go down. More than ever you'll feel like doing your bit of make show night very gayi

i, When I went down to get this story, asked these young women not only to outline to me the beautiful side of being an usher. but to relate to me what troubles agitate the pro- fession as well. So. with the assist ance of Fred A. Montebaro. superin tendent at the Lyric sthe man who takes your tickets at the door1 and the girls-Mae Sanders. Florence Ferguson. Mabel Moore. Bessie san ders, the following has been gleaned:
 Sometimes Difficult
 Sometimes it's just grand to be an usher. Then again you wish you were Tarzan on rampage. You would love to be the latter when some folks come in and act like 1t was peanut day at the baseball game"
 This group. with two others, Ruby Gray and Orline Kelly, serve as ush- CTS at the Lyric. From two to five years. they have so prettiiy rushed to serve you. taking their very realistic role in the show--which Is to make you very merry from the moment you enter the playhouse. and with graciousness and quick work make you flutter to the feeling that 1t Is pleasant to be there; put you in a frame of mind to enjoy every second of your good time
 If you are cross, they meet you cheeriIy as you come in. They give their whole attention to you to as sure you joy and comfort.
 When the bunch marched in, they reminded me of a small troop of sol diers. There on the dot, just like any of your actors might be, they were getting ready to Ego on," too-and must slip into cunning uniforms of white, with white shoes and stock ings. and black ties to set off their middy blouses.

TALKING OF THE MOVIES

Haywood Broun, in Judge.
 In the world there Is mud and much bad modelling. We take the ocean as we find 1t. In somewhat the same mood we pick our friends. Even those we love have faults which make them less than one hundred per cent. aesthetically. We surrender our heartss even through Helen's eyes may be just a shade too closely set together. Gwendolyns mouth, if she will pardon the personality. is just a shade too wide. There is the sug- sestion of ring underneath the eyes of Miriam. In the movies this defect would be obliterated by the grease paint and perhaps we should not be equally faithful to this false present. ment of the heroine. After all, she was loved for what she was rather than her personalities. Artistic ideals are heightened rather than demolished by slight variations from perfection. There ought to be dis sonance in countenances.
 If the truth were known, it is more probable that we should discover that Helen of Troyswas not quite a beauty Her nose, we understand. was litt ie crooked. She had mouth too large. but infinitely gay and charming in it's friendliness No wonder such W oman set the ancient world on fire. She moved through community which had trained itself by art to the worship of formal and perfect beauty.
 Heiens dry smile was flame. Man roundabout had become finder 1 It is our belief that any motion | picture director who is wise enough
 to realize the appeal of the lady who Is not beautiful will bring to the | public another Helen. Who knows what the results might be?

AS TO coRsETs


 Man may not be able to add a cubit to his stature, but there isn't much a woman can't do with hers If she puts her mind on It." says El- eanor Chalmers, In the Delineator. She used to do it with her corset strings and the bedpost. Now, how ever, the present fashion has re- versed the method. Let go'' being the motto of the moment. It has also changed our ideas of the figure it. self. The less there Is of it as to lust and hips the better 1t is, and 1t is moided into a new and more plastic shape. Ii Is so soft and supple that it seems almose boneless. very slender, but round, and neither flat, thin nor angular
 The great question is whether one should arrive at the new figure through corsets or by doing without them. The young girl has settled the question to her own satisfaction by discarding them altogether. or for the very slight support of ribbon girdle that does little more than hold up her stockings. Women whose figures are slender enough to require very little control have adopted the topless corsets. made almost en- tirely, if not altogether. of rubber and with very few bones. The top of the corset is replaced by a brassiere which supports the figure but keeps 1t soft and pliant. other women, especially If the world has gone well with them and their shadows have not grown less. feel the need of a corset that Is really a corset. and which comes above the waistline. Usually 1t is made of stout batiste or brocade and has sufficient bones to support the figure. A safe rule to follow Is to chose corset as low as possible above the belt, wide in the waist, narrow through the hips. fairly long below and with very few bones -remembering that the closer you come to the uncorseted look of the very young girl the nearer you are to the ideal figure"

RAIL BROTHERHOOD
 HEADS WILL DECIDE. ON STRIKE BALLOT.
More Than 100000 En- pIoyes to Be Affected by Decision Made at Cin-
 einnati Conference
By Associated Press

Chicago. June s.-Strike votes af- fecting 100000 of America's rail- road workers, returnabie on the same date. probably about August 3, will be decided upon at the railway labor confernece at Cincinnati next week in the opinion of B. M. Jewell. presi- dent of the Railway Employees de- partment. American Federation of Labor.
 The employees expected to vote are those affected by the new wage re- duetion orders already announced or pending from the railroad labor board.
 We are certain that the general committees would reject the new wage reductions" he said. "So there is little necessity of placing the mat ter before the committees. as a strike vote of the membership will deter mine what action is 10 be taken"
 Eleven standard railway union heads will gather in Cincinnati Tues day to take some definite steps re- garding the boards new wage cuts, Mir. Jewell said. however, that strike action would be taken individually by the organizations but added that undoubtedly If strike was voted there would be concerted action by all the organizations as to the date of the walkout and other general matters.
