10 Society } By MELLIFICIA. Wed.nesday, December 15, 1915. % OME one asked me this morning what T B M is. 1 thought everybody kmew, but, perhaps, T B M has not yet appéared in Omaha. It is well to be a half score of hundred miles from the effeteness of the east To begin with, T B M's place in society is something akin to that of satan in theology—he is held responsible for many things. The editors of the big book publishing concerns and the managers of the great theatrical productions charge T B M with the blame attached to thelr business. When a book is quite too unfit for the Y P, we'are told that things are so bocause T B M must have diverting pungent lightness, that his braln is fagged; it is in the interest of a thing, not its ethics, which must be considered on his account. If the wardrobe or the jokes of a Broadway production distressed the late Anthony Comstock, the public wae told that the show was what T B M demanded. In fact B M is an old chap who is in altogether bad with the high- brow criti he is pulling down English literature, degrading the sta and relegating the Niebelungenlied to the scrap heap. The Drama league of America may show he is a myth of the theatri- cal managers, but as yet there is nothing to combat his influence upon music and literatura, If he is not in Omaha, here's to his absence—and may he keep long away.
