COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
‘
Have you ever made a study of Obser-
vation? Ever analyzed observers?
There are so many kinds of observers
of pet subjects upon whibh they bend
" all their powers, to the exclusion ab-
solute of all other fields of interest.
Take, for instance, the happy woman
she who was “born with a happy
temperament.” What are the things
she observes? Only the pleasant
things.
If you meet her she has a story to
tell of some jolly jaunt from which she
has brought only pleasant memories;
it will be the observer of unpleasant
trifies who will keep reminding her
that the dust was bad or the mosquitoes
troublesome.
There are people who rejoice in a ray
of sun light traversing their sick beds,
while others see only in it the ever
present mote of dust. fi
_ The whole trick of life lies in this
question of what you observe, for it is
needless to say that memory is stocked
only with those things that we have
particularly noted.
It is Odd that we do not cultivate this
power in any direct way; that we, hav-
ing grown up with little or no control
_ over our faculties in this respect, 1 let
our children follow us in the same
state of ignorance in regard to a power
lying dormant within them that once
awakened and developed can actually
raise the commonplace to the excep-
tional. .
All genius lies rooted in a highly
developed power of observation in some
given field. The musician hears mel-
Ody, in nature where less observant
ears hear onlyE noise. The artist sees
~ color and form; the dramatist, tragedy
and pathos; the author, tell-tale char-
acteristics, individual and local, where
the non observant see, hear and find
nothing at all of beauty,interest or note.
ATO be non’observant is to lose the
cream of life, to do injustice to each of
the five senses; to let the faculties lie
stiff with rust.
The happy man is he who observes
keenly, for the present is always full
to him, and the transition from the
sluggish state where one is a prey to
boredom to the condition of being
where one is sure of entertainment is so
easy to make that the marvel is we have
not all found the way and crossed the
line.
Why not take up the study of obser-
vation ? There are classes in observa-
tion formed and very popular now in
London, and we are pretty likely to
follow suit and begin to shape our
games for. children, and grown-ups,
too, for that matter, with an eye to the
development Of this trait.
Try to awake and cultivate your
powers of observation, and see whether
the results are not even. more satis-
factory than you anticipated.

every individual shows most prominent-

Now that the season of buckwheat

The collecting of handkerchiefs is

The ball gowns, with their glittering

Though they say that sick persons

Go‘od Goods, Well Advertised.
Going the rounds of the press is an
item stating that the Royal Baking
Powder Company is the largest adver-
tiser in America. Of course, the busi-
ness itself must be an enormous one to
gustify so great an expenditure in pub-
icity There' 13 no fallacy more dan-
gerous than that success can be gained
by advertising an article of indifferent
merit. But, given an article of the
highest quality like Royal Baking Pow-
der, which when the housekeeper has
once used she finds if she desires the
best food she cannot do without, then
the greatest measure of succces is at-
tained by keeping it continuously be-
fore the public. Great merit and good
advertising are both essential to make
a product a great success. The Royal
Baking POwder possessing the first, its
proprietors have wisely used the sec-
ond, and the result" 13 apparent through-
out the land. The Royal company be-
lieve that there' Is no medium for ad-
vertising like the newspapers, since in
:Ifiese enlightened days everybody r eads

AMUSEMENTS.
“ The Christian.”
Miss Viola Allen’s debut as a star in
Hall Caine’s new play, “The Christian”
5 the greatest legitimate, ' scored in
many years. Not only has. 1, 4- sAllen’s
acting as Glory Quayle played a reve-
lation in dramatic art but alSO a revela-
tion as to her ability. She has been
looked upon for some years as the most
talented of the younger actresses in
America, and as a lady who would some
day make her mark. She has done so
in this piece, which has given her the
opportunity to display the unusual
range of her art, the part requiring no
only skillful inte1 pretation in light
comedy, but also 1n very st1 ong heroic
situations.
“The Christian” was first presented at
the Empire Theatre, in Albany, N. Y.,
Sept. 23rd and 24th, for three perform-
ances. The receipt§ exceeded $2,600.
From here Miss Allen went to the N a-
tional Theatre, in Washington, where,
during the week commencing Septem—
ber 26th, “The Christian ” broke all
records in receipts, both as to advanced
and regular prices. The opening, fig—
ures were $1,316. The house was filled,
but from that time until the end of the
week, the recei pts constantly increased.
At the Saturday matinee the receipts
were $1,852, and Saturday evening $1,-
708. The take-in for the week was
$10,521.00. , Nothing like this has ever
before been recorded in American stage
history. Monday evening,Miss Allen be-
gan a week’s engagement at the Provi-
dence Opera House in Providence, R. I.
Last Saturday evening her advance
sale for the week exceeded $2,000.00
and the indications were that she
would beat all records in receipts at‘
this theatre. This Monday evening,
October 10th, Miss Allen begins a long
run at the Knickerbocker theatre in
New York. Since this engagement
was announced, therevhas been constant
demand for seats, the advance orders
now being the largest in the history of
the house, althohgh tickets will not be
issued till Thursday, October 6th. It is
quite likely that it will be necessary to
secure seats during Miss Allen’s en-
gagement many days in advance.
