R> RETWOOD BEOsvTN.
Paris, not France or Ky., but Tcoy,
Rot into a fearful muddle once by
undertaking to judge a beauty con?
test, and mindful of his fate we trem?
ble at criticising "Just Girls," the new
Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic, which opened
| in the Dnnse'de Follies on Monday
I night.
We svish we bad not wasted so many
; adjectives already this season, and If
| WS could call them back we would.
i As the title indicates, the plot is
. wrapped up with lots of girls, or un?
wrapped ?f yon like. From where we
Sal the technique of every last one o!
! then seemed to be excellent from
slippers to side-combs.
Speaking of technique, one might
consider the -how ?somewhat after the
following manner:
Mis- Casaidy American dance frock
made by Hickson, iridescent paillot
edged with rose blue and mauve chif?
fon, hangings of tiny roses, crossover
of pink silk, overbodice of iridescent
blue, mauve and pink, with narrow
touches of silver.
But the strain is too great; we can
go on like that no longer. On the
other hand, to stop now would hardly .
be fair to Miss Olive Thomas:
Peace fn-tiim? made by Collins,
white chiffon over cloth of silver; at
intervals around the skirt four shaped
insertions of turquoise blue, caught up :
r.t the waist by tiny chains of dia- \
mon,!-, crossover of white ostrich ?
plumea ??cross the back of waist, two :
big diamond roses at front of bodice. '
There now! We never thought we
could report costumes, but baseball is
such a splendid all-round traininf- for
a newspaper man. We could do
more just like that, but we purpose to
Itop after adding that Miss Leslie, !
Miss Slater and Miss Morris were also j
Costumed to a considerable extent.
The girls had to do much more than ;
wear clothes. Th.' programme abound?
ed in songs and dances. "In Grand
ma's I'ay They Never Did the Fon- \
Trot" wai one ?>f the popular number?, '?
and so was "I Love To He Loved."!
Melville Ellis mad-' a hit at the piano
in a medley of longs, assisted by a,
chorus, and Mlie. Odette Myrtil played '
pleasingly on the violin. Sybil Car- \
men, Kay Laurel! and Muriel Hudson ;
s?,ere all conspicuous.
Yet, after all is danced and sung,
beauty and costume?, too, are only j
iskin deep. The most emphatic hit in !
? ? I-i.w was made by Will Rogers, ?
who wore a flannel shirt of irride.-ccnt
blue, a pair of old gold khaki trousers
wiih a crossover of white suspenders.
Will Rogi i'? irai equipped with several
takes of rope with which he did amaz?
ing lasso tricks. All the time he com
,-erly and caustically on cah
; ret life, lie i si ere, how?
ever, for he tin?-h?d his act by one
ing with -i girl wuhin the limits
of nia las o. 'du ? girls" ought to do
?nuch to help while away the tedious
of the tired business man from
midnight until dawn.
Cyrano aid that a kiss was a rose
re,) dot ??ver the "i" in lovjni.', but on
the American .-t.:*;? it is much more
serious than id*at. Among respectable
characters in any of our plays a kis
is fully as binding as a marriage cere
for thai reason, perhaps, it is
.-ave.) for the final curtain.
The public, for the sake of conven?
ience, has consented to accept the ki-s
?? valuation of the dramatist.]
Aftci ?? ng the hero and the heroine I
. d in each other's aims what j
Thomas ever left the theatre but in I
th. belief ?hat on the following ?1 v
or the week after next the fair lady :
Mrs. Hero? The po
bility of any break between the two i
inconceivable. A man who kissed a
1 thin failed to right the
wrong he had done would be no hero.
N,,w an?! again a mule character will
kiss a married woman, but in such a
case the audience must prepare itself
for S problem play ?f course, minor
characters may kiss a bit more casually
than hero oi heroine, but even for them
an set fraught with grave danger.
The housemaid who permits the caress
of the comic butler ?rill in all proba?
bility follow her mistress to the altar.;
We aie in:?.lined that in real life:
first kisaei are extremely rare, but on
the stage the lingering tableau which ;
I rings the curtain down Is almost in?
variable? the lady's first venture in dot- !
ting her ":"?-? . . ,
Moral standards of musical comedy ?
pre lower. The tenor mav kiss every
girl in the chorus once; again, indeed, ,
il hidden by an encore, only to forswear
them all for the soprano. Worse than
that, be miik.'s love to his new flame j
with all the effrontery of a stainless
man. <?f course, as far a? his affair
with the soprano **oea, bis heart and
vow must follow Ins lipa. The kiss
of the loprano and the tenor comes
jUSt after the '.salt/, -ont and imme?
diately before the ?final chorus. In
i consequences it is Jus!
about as potent as the embrace of the
her.? and the heroine.
The dramatists of the American
stage have accepted Cyrano's defini?
tion of a kiss in so far as they agree
that H is a dot, but they use it not
t?, ind?cate an "i" but to mark a sen?
tence. _

THRONE FOR YUAN

American Adviser Just Talked
?if Benefits, Says Legation.
Washington, Aug. 24. The Chinese
Legation issued a statement to-day,
based upon a cable message from P??
kin ;. declaring that I?r. Frank J.
(ioodnow. American adviser to Pres?
ident Yuan Shi Kai, had not advised
th . latter to set himself on a throne
as emperor. The statement says:
"In an academic discussion as to
whether a republic or a monarchy was
more suitable for China, Dr. Good
now's coinclusion was that, inasmuch
as the republican form of government
had no fixed method of determining
Presidential succession, the monarchi?
cal form of government would, for this
reason, be safer and more satisfactory,
conforming, as it does, more to the
genius of the Chinese people, and the
historical development of the nation,
hut he did not say whether this was
the proper time for such a change."

TAFT BARS SUFFRAGISTS.
Says He Is Too Busy to Receive Con?
gressional Delegation.
Portland, Ore., Au?. 24.?Ex-Presi
i dent Wlllism EL Taft declined to re?
ceive a party of Congressional Union
1 suffragists at his hotel here yesterday.
| it became known to-day.
Mrs. Lee Daver.port. of this citv. led
the delegation, which was composed of
about a dozen women. At the hotel
they sent word to Mr. Taft that they
desired to lay before him their croDa
ganda. iMr. Taft sent back an answer,
written in ii's own hand and couched
in courteous terms, saying his schedule
of engagements for the day was full
and that he could not possibly receive '
them. Mrs. Davenport sent uo an in?
sistent reply, but the ex-President

EDUCATORS WANT
OFFICIALS TRAINED
i Conference Urges a College
Course in Office Holding
Boston, Aug. 24.?The establish?
ment of department? in American col?
leges for the training of public offl
| cials was urged at the second national
I conference on universities and public
? service held at the State House to
'. day.
"The time has passed," said Chan?
cellor Samuel B. McCormick of the
? University of Pittsburgh, "when we
! can rely upon untrained men to pre
? side over the state. An expert knowl
I edge is as essential for a public offl
| cial for the solution of the problems
I of civil government as it is in any
i other business. The state should bear
1 the expense of this instruction."
Frank t?. Bates, of the Indiana I'ni
i varsity, and Burt Williams, publisher
of "The Ashland (Wls.) News," em
iphaiized the importance of legislative
; information bureas as a means of
' educating the prospective legislator
! for his duties.
SUFFRAGETORCH
FOUND IN A CAR
Wrapped in 50 Yards of
Muslin, Passenger Had
Forgotten It.
The suffrage torch has been found.
New Jersey suffragists are nappy.
Last night the lamp of the cause.
| which disappeared eight days ago at
Atlantic Highlands after it had started
an auspicious career across the state,
was present at an enthusiastic meeting
in Passaic. Leaders of the New Jer?
sey campaign consider themselves for?
tunate, considering the peculiar cir?
cumstances, in finding their emblem.
Anthony V. Lynch, jr., of ?14 Wall
Street, trolleyed to Philadelphia on
Monday. When near the city he no?
ticed in the seat of the car a bundle
which a passenger had forgotten. He
j opened it. and found inclosed in fifty
yanls of heavy muslin the missing
torch. He carried i?. with him to Man?
hattan, and notified Mrs. Mina ?.'. Van
Winkle, of Newark, president of the
Women's Political Union of New Jer
I fey.
Passaic was the scene for rejoicing
i last night. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw and
Mrs. Van Winkie motored from Newark
i to the Playhouse, leaving a trail of ,
' dust behind them. Arriving at. the the- .
atre the long lost lamp was displayed.
But another near tragedy was siage?!
in this town. Adopting modern ad?
vertising methods, the suffragists
brought from Newark a llama, valued
at $5,000. Like a New York sundwieh
man, it carried on each side of its body '?
large suffrage placards.
After it had paraded the town for,
several hours Miss Margaret Flannigan '.
gave the animal to two boys, who
promised to lead it to its atable.
But the youths went not to the !
stable, but around town, leading the
precious llama bv a long rope.
Flanmgan was almost in tears when '
she learned of the animal's disappear?
ance. After hunting for the suffrage
standard '?earer for an hour and a half
the animal was found in its stable much
the worse for its long tramp.
