How's that for a ay k? By the tin Me, Willa Faversham has gone through all the pares set fur “The Barber of New Orleans" by its author, Mr, Edward Childs Carpenter, you conclude you have been all wrong about thinking the South an tile sland where nobody works but the mosquito, If any New York barber to-day half as hard as this New Orleans barber in IS he wouldn't have time to reau the comle papers, But Vietor Jallot isn't © plain, everyday barber who thinks bay rum or witehhazel the last touch of art, He is the proprietor of the “Atelier Jaliot'—-which much more “refined” even than tonsorlal parlors—and a poet and play- vright at odd moments, Jallot bas 60 many outside things to do that you wonder he doesn’t get some: one to run the shop for him at the very Legtining of the play, He no sooner begins one than the author pute him to work at another. The lathered romance scatters Itself right and left. Mr. Carpenter, whose daily range Is the financial page of a Philade'phia news- paper, doesn't write to the point. But the lean Mr. Faversham has a ‘fat part. He feeds upon flowered phrases and swells with mock herolcs, Nothing daunts him, The keynote of his role Is "Next!" Come wnat may he {s always prepared. He trims the con- spirators against Louisiana only to find that the Spanish leader has recognized the beautitul Antoinette as one of his former She is to be sold for what she will bring, for she ts a yalla’ ) Bent emen, what do you bid? more we have ‘The Great Ques- The bidding,ts fast and the vil- lain who wrote that, Infamous libe! for the newspapers {s furtous, He runs the slaves tion.” price of Antoinedce up ty duu. The barber hesitates, but Antoinette ts not lost Jallot still has his lottery p half of which he has promised to hie faithful as- eistant. No matter. He will show ‘em he isn't a cheap barber ‘Ten thousand dollars!" What ¢ we hear from the $8,000 villain? Colses! Sold to the noble barber for $10,(00! lets It go at that. In the next act Antolnette comes to tell him that a mob Is on {ts way to settle the little matter of an American flag over his door, and she remains behind « screen to hear the truth about that nasty piece in the paper while he shaves the contemptible aut Gently, but firmly, Mr, Faversham tucks a towel about the neck of lis despised customer. Neatly he lathers him. Then he begins to rub {t in, Does the ravor pull? He strops {t and the audience giggles. But this is sterr work. Scrape, scrape goes the blade, the customer Is getting it In the neck He {8 reminded that this {s an excellent shop tn which to get his throat cut, and ‘under pressure of the razor he confesses himself a scribbler and a ilar. “Once over" {8 enough for him, but the barber insists upon finishing him off with a towel. As soon as the customer, swearing vengeance, makes his escape, the mob breaks in and threatens to put the bar- ber out of business. But Jallot turns epeechmaker and triumphs over his ene- mies with some red-white-and-blue ora- tory, When all but a third assistant villain have fled, Antoinette comes from behind the screen and hears the awful news that she Is a yalla’ gal. Then, of course, she turns on the barber for buy ing her. To be a yalla’ gal {ts bad enough, but to ba bought by a barber— oh, this is too much! Let the stage man ager draw the third act vell, But the barber {sn't through with his day's work, That very evening “when the stars shine bright” In one of the prettiest scenes the stage has re vealed in many 8 moon, he captures the Spanish conspirato- and forces him to Write a confession that Antoinette Is not only white but a princess who was stolen when she was a child. This cheering news js given to her with her bill of sale. It is also nice to fearn that Jallot, instead of being just a barber of genius, is really the son of a brave Frenehman. Everything at the end with Antoinette in Jaliot's arms. “The Barber of New Orleans’ is decidedly a play for nice young things, Its Fomantic sugar plums are just the sort to be swallowed by sweet sixteeners, Mr, Faversham goes through the play with light step. shaves the assistant villain neatly.

(Copyrighted by Herman Bernatein.) The f{talictzed paragraphs are Count Tolstoy's crigina] comments on the subject Immortality. EATH and birth are two boundaries, Beyond thecc boundaries there is a similar something. | MAN may die a noble or a mean death, even as he | may live a noble or a mean life. The inner J, being unable to control the authority over the powers intrusted to It, renouncing this lofty mission, de- | feated by parasites and partly fallen under the power of its irreconcilable foes, may in the end be driven with disgrace and humiliation from the {temple in which it should have reigned. Or, on the contrary, fulfilling ! {sacred and sound mission, having illumined Its body and soul with divine j lite and love, this inner J, like a good workman who wears out his tools {n ‘his work, may wisely spend all materials intrusted to him, put them aside jcalmly and peacefully and, without changing, pass into other spheres pre- | destined for him.—Edward Carpenter. ee ONLY few people have thought properly about the significance of non- existence. Non-existence after death I picture to myself as the same state in which I found myself before birth. That is not apathy, for | apathy itself may bbe felt; but this is nothing. As soon as I fall into that state the words “I” and “state” no longer My ‘Cycle of Readings’ ee 1c) By Count Leo Tolstoy Translated by Herman Bernstein fit that condition. I think {t {6 something perfectly equivalent to eternal ilfe. I think that a human being feels equally well in this as in the other state. To be and to walt and to act according to our reason—that {s our duty; for we cannot embrace the whole—Lichtenberg. HEN the soul ts toelt occupied the question of immortality does not interest it. Everything is 80 well now that it feels certain that all will be well in the future, too. It 4s necessary to think that what ‘$ most useful for us will take place, and that 4f it is better for ua to ve we toil Hive, It ts far better and easier for the soul to be convinced of this than of the fact that before ua are millions of years, centuries, millenmuma. "HILE we are alive our souls are dead and buried {n our bodies; and when we die they come to life—Heraclitus. ~~ HERE {8 no death, but there ts a serves of changes toMch I have out: lived already, and the beat of them I am atill to live through. nnn 1E human soul cannot be completely destroyed together with the body, but something that !s eternal remains.—Spinoza. HINKEING of immortality, it 4s Impossible to confine one's self to the thought of the future, for the thought of the mysterious past eprings up involuntarily.
