This is a fair warning, and it behooves cv body who expects to be present, to get around in time. The management is not responsible for the size of the theater and just because our patron: anxious to get in to see the best show in the city have not sitting room, 'there is no blame to be placed.

And I think that is what great many people mean when A | they accuse some old acquaintance of rosing—that he has had the temerity to try to change himself, to improve in some way. They find themselves left behind. Their own inertia re- sents this activity and they revenge a pose. Suppose one has an ideal of con- duct or education and tries to bring oneself into harmony with it Of course that is not being wholly na- ural. The perfectly natural thing to follow the line of least resist- ance. Any effort toward improve- ment is unnatural. Civilization is very unnatural. All of which is not claiming that poses are always praise-worthy. Are You Trying to Be or Only to Ap- pear? o I think the line of demarcation comes here, whether one is trying to [ be the thing or merely to appear it. If a person tries to appear cul- tured, that is one thing; if he hon- | estly tries to educate and improve himself, that is quite another. Affectation is another word that is construed in innumerable ways. Some people call any acquired grace of manner, any little air, any man- nerism, an affectation. Perhaps they are, but just the same I don't mlnd if they are not overdone. Too Much Affectation Like Too Much Candy.
