HORSS AsouTIT Be Real Rough with the Hapless Heroine —Now Goes in for the Peaceful Life and Takes Umbrage at ‘‘Teddy’s” Teachings Is Going Away from Here Because He Doesn’t Want Shaw to Become Merely a: ‘R. DALY was in a bad way, He had # nasty cold and Shaw-ttis in @ virulent form. The first he caught in San Francisco a lew ‘weeks ago, the second in London last summer, He sprayed his throat occasionally, but, apparently, was doing nothing for the deeper: dl! Y hardly recomsized the Arnold Daly who, i seemed but yesterday, had Gihoursed gayly on the artistic necessity of giving the helpless heroine a ‘Ward blow. He laughed then, and the joy of Itving wad in hie eye, and fellow- players stopped at bis door to call “Hello, Arnold!” au! those dear young daye when the hero\ne got it good, and Daly could slways be relied upon to They will never come again, alas! Ddottle fs gone from the herolne’s dressing table, The merry crew l¢ misa- ng from Daly's room. He !s alone with his Shaw, Thus we found him, grave and pale, and getting paler every minute with the "cast of thought” which came in a small white jer and was Tabbed on vigorously. “Why are you golug away from heret” I asked with all gentleness and the right guard up. “Because,” he replied, “I do hot want Shaw to become a fa/i in New while—fs ft worth while at all? Would Roosevelt have asked Shelley, or Burns, or Milton, to show they were ‘worth their salt’ in that way?” Mr. Daly wheeled about and put the question direct. I really coulin’t say—and I didn’t, j “Tt is very easy to go Into the street and fight with your fists,” Mr, Daly 4 assured me, though I didn’t believe a word of it. It’s so much easier to] contend to the contraty he milght fittingly say, ‘Very well; if I have suc stay on the sidewalk and be “nice.” I'm atrald Mr, Daly must be dreadfully belligerent, for he added: “It is only when I resist the temptation to give some fellow A thrashing that I feel proud of myself. Why should’ we re- sort to physical force? Why should there be war? Why, if the’ heads of two nations take a notion to quarrel over a strip of land, should the people of those nations, born with the rigtit to live and to enjoy God's free air and sunlight, be dragged into the quarrel and sacrificed? If Roosevelt wanted to go up San Juan Hill, why didn't he walk up? Why did he make a horse take him up? Surely the horse didn’t want to go. What had it to gain by war? Would it get any of the glory? ‘Would it not have preferred to remain peacefully in some green pasture? Let's ask the horse about it.” . Horses aside, Isn't it remarkable the interest actors take in “Teddy?” ia it that they recognize tu him @ brother actor? Se" “crool and brutal.” “And Shaw—is It his wish, also, not to become a tad?” “Certainly. He has no patience with that sort of thing.” “He wants to be taken seriously 1” ONSIGNING the poor, abused nag to the powers of darkness and an- other Powers—knowing full well he would take care of it—I brought Mr, Daly back to Shaw by asking him whether observation had shown Shaw a poseur, or as merely affecting @ pose. “Neither,” he decjared, “Personally, he is a simple, modest man, and there {s certainly nothing in his writings to warrant the assumption that he affects a pose.” “Not in the frank egotism of his prefaces, even?” ‘ “No, He simply says he knows what he is doing. He says ‘I can do this,’ just as you might say ‘I can mend this broken window,’ come to do the job.” There wasn't a window in the place, yet che {llustration was as clear as| wig has not become #0 out of a realization of what a downright, clever | tn any efeat, pred “and you take him seriously?” (Silly question.) “Most sasuredly.” “Even in ‘How He Lied to Her Husband?” A stile was the only answer to this, ) SACAHAW Ie tn deadly eurnent,” sald his disciple, slowly and solemnly, “And he is doing things. The characters he creates do things, They fight for something, most of them, and in the end they show *what that something s, There's more than one way to fight. The other! day I saw President Roosevelt quoted as saying ‘A boy who won't fight isn't worth his salt.’ Marchianks could tell the President a thing or two adout that. It might do Teddy good to.have a talk with little Bugene, on better, with Shaw himself, Ia physical fighting the only kind that's worth ‘were you to stranger, whom he suddenly sees struggling in the water, As tor mon, 4) ‘Mrs. Warren's Profession’ teaches,” i ii i 2 ag 8 Wontn Wile iH i £ f i ceeded in attracting attention by standing on my head in the park, there is nothing to prevent your doing the very same thing.” “And his attitude toward woman, is ¢ as eccentric in real life as his writings make it appear!” “Well, when it comes to Mrs, Shaw, of course, he’s quite like the rest of married men, But aren't women eccentric? They haven't any honor.” “What?” I gasped. , “{ mean,” explained the audacious Arnold, “that a woman isn’t honor- able when it suits her purpose to be otherwise. That is, she will, nine times. out of ten, let her interests lead her honor by the ears. When I say ‘honor’ I have no reference to the seventh commandment. There are many forma of {mmorality, Let a woman ask for @ glass of water. The man is willing to| « tetch it. But suppose he isn't. Then she exerts her subtle influence, and says it this way: ‘Won't you get me a glass of water?’ and the demon- strator put a soft seductiveness into the plea which would win any thirsty temperance lady of such alluring speech at least a barrel of water, “Woman knows her influence, anf she uses It unfairly as often as fairly, This talk of a man wooing and winning & woman is all nonsense, If @ woman doesn't want you she won't have you; and if she does want “No, I don’t suppose it will, Still, it will serve as a you—God help you!—ste'll get you sooner or later, You're perfectly help-| tacks which the press or the pulpit may make, But I less, And s woman will lie for any one or anything he pleases.
