Mrs. Sage comes of « school that does Mot tolerate smoking in women, She Believes, a majority of women of a @eneration ago were taught to believe, ' that the real gentleman never permits “himself to smoke tn the presence of a Indy, and that even though he Is a @moker, there is a room in the house which is his to smoke in, and the rest of the house {s sacred to the wife and other members of the family who do not ike the fumes of tobacco. Mr, Sage Never Smokes, “Zam glad,” said Mrs. Sage, “that the place opened as a tea-room and a smok- ing-parlor for women is to de closed. I fheard some comment when The Evening | World published the story of the start of jthe place that the publication would only ‘ncrease its popularity, and the remark twas made that the place would die if lat alone. But I think the paper did a ‘ good act in making the facts pubile. That is what killed it. 4 “I can't for the Ife of me understand ithe desire to smoke. Mr, Sage never bas smoked.

With there being only 400 it is easy (o take the list and Know with whom to associate. I be- Aeve that the great rank and file of the American people with and without money are getting better.

Pretty Harmiess Start. | The fret act left one somewhat doubt- ful, for it opened with more or less meaningless chatter between threa or| four pretty but harmless young women | about the “fool hero helping an old| woman with a basket across the street | (was there ever a better, or a worse, | ay for such gallant achievement?) and | wound up with the interruption of a roulette game by the unexpected arrival | of the stern and wealthy father. The fool son talked very fiippantly—too fip- pantly, in fact—to a papa who had Abra- ham Lincoln whiskers, and when the | patient parent remonstrated at the nize of the cute one's gambling debts and told | him he had no idea of the value of | money, sonny up and sald he'd wander out Into the world and show that he could hustle for himself, Father in- stantly began to hedge, but sonny in- sisted on being disinherited for a year just to find out who were his really true | friends, Alt with Smntty None. Cruel fate drove the poor boy tmme- diately to the golf links, where various plump young women rolled up their sleeves and exhibited healthfully round- ed arms, quite the best thing, by the way, that these young women d Then Percy—that was sonny's name— did something better. Accompanied vy @ poor but honest French artist, he went to a cheap lodging-house, and there discovered May Vokes playing the part of a siipshod slavery as only May Vokes can play such a part, This time the domestic divinity was Esmeraida. She had smut on her nose, a gaiter on one foot and a silpper on the other, and was otherwise delightful. She gossiped up and down a dumb- waiter with Mamie and Emma, slaveys, and ate ice, at Percy gestion, to bring beauty to her eyes, It's chilling to conjecture how much joe thawed its way to Miss Vokes's stomach during that entertaining third act, but, whatever the quantity, she must have been thoroughly warmed by the cordial applause which commended her cleverness and plainly told her she was the hit of the piece.

Second to Miss Vokes in the scoring was Arnold Daly, who proved surprising versatility in bis volatile rtrayal of the amiable French artist. Mrs. 5, A.

(Soectal to The Evening World) PROVIDENCE, April 15.—From all tn- ications Block Island will be a dry place for the worn-out iin summer. The long fight that has been going on in regard to the sale of rum on the island Js about over, and the Judiciary Committee of the Genate has reported adversely. All gorts of arguments were used by those endeavoring to have the commit- tee consent to the sale of liquor on the |4sland. Some persons interested in ho- tels put forth the plea that Block Island without the opportunity to get a drink would be like home without a mother. ‘They told tales of the suffering of tav- ellera calculated to meit the most hard- hearted. But the residents of Block Island, those with coats of tan a foot thick, for whom the chill of the morn- ing has no terrors, refused to agree to the sale unless they were consulted and “we, the people,’ had received an opportunity to vote, b’gosh, on the question of rum or no rum. Committee Was Puzzled. Between love and duty, having a de- sire to please the summer boarder with a thirst and a knowledge that the boarder of the summer did not vote tn the fall, ‘True, it was pointed when the man from New York who had hied himself to Block Island to drink the ocean salt realized the utter posttion he would turn for relief to the demon rum. It was ex- plained that if there was no bourbon, rye or gin about he might last for @ few days on calisaya, but the end, it was asserted, would the same, The frien@s of the hotel-keepers and the down-trodden seeking rest and recrea- tion from New York said three days on Block Isiand without a chance to line up end have one and duy in return woul@ cause the average summer boarder to go down to the pler and sit there on his trunk fearful he would be permitted to sleep through the whistle of the first boat for civilization.
