THE LIGHT’S DAILY SHORT STORY
(By Ada Nell.)
"Beauty in a woman," observed the
middle-aged man in the corner seat,
who wore the ugliest tie In the whole
carriage; "beauty in a woman is a
nuisance any time, and if the woman
happens to be your wife, it's a dashed
nuisance. If a woman chances to
nave a bit pinker cheeks than the
ordinary, or a nose that's cut on slight
ly better lines than that of the woman
next door, she at once gets It Into
her head that she's a prize beauty,
and that she has to spend all her life
looking after her appearance."
"You’ve perhaps read that some
where, air,” drawled the youth on the
opposite seat, who had spent the time
between the last station and the one
before In reading a letter written on
thick, tinted paper.
I’ve perhaps noticed it." snapped
the man with the tie. "I've no ob
jection to beauty as beauty, for those
who care for that sort of thing, and
It wouldn't matter, provided the
women didn’t find out about it. But
you can trust ’er to find out the good
look,s they've got long before any
body else has noticed It. And then
they start making trouble.”
, "I can't follow you," said the
young man. “A girl has surely the
right to make the best of herself.
Indeed, I should not say the right,
but I should put It as a duty to her
self and those about her to make her
self look as nice as she can."
"What do you mean by looking
nice?”
"Well, if she’s got pretty hair, let
her dress It nicely and show it to ad
vantage. And if she hasn't, let her
spend a little time in making it so.
And where's the harm in her looking
after her complexion, keeping her
hands soft, and so forth?"
"My notion of looking nice Is to be
clean and tidy. When a woman has
combed and brushed her hair and
pinned it round on the top of her
head so that the ends don’t stick out,
I don’t reckon she can do much bet
ter. I’ve no use for the frizzing and

BEAUTY IN
A WIFE
fussing and curling. Start a girl on
that and she’ll wear out every looking
glass in the house, so to speak; she'il
spend every sixpence she’s got on
curling irons and frizzing lotions, hair
pads and fancy combs, and she'll
waste hours a day playing about with
'em. She'll waste money and she'll
waste time dragging her hair Into
sausages, puffs, rolls and corkscrews.
In the same way she'll throw away
time and money in trying to get her
complexion like the face of a pink
wax doll, and she'll cover her face
with nasty, sticky stuff every night,
so she can look like a baby in the
morning. As for the soft hands, a
woman gets them by being work-shy.
They don’t want encouraging to be
that nowadays. You encourage a
woman to stop working for a day,
and she'll stop for a week."
"I don’t think men are much dif
ferent In that way. But about beauty
—It would be a deuced dull world
without it. If you can’t appreciate It.
It's your loss. You seem to look on
girls as machines—to get so much
work done. Now. I shouldn't care
about a wife like that.”
"That's because you've not had any
experience. The ideal wife is one
who can and will make her husband
comfortable —a mildly sentimental
person who can cook, some one who
finds her pleasure in the house, and
w ho thinks more about her husband's
comfort than her own pleasure, and
you don't find women like that among
the pretty ones.”
"Useful, but not Interesting? You
like them plain—and deadly dulL”
"No, not necessarily dull, b8t a
steady-going, ordinary woman with no
fancy notions, no Ideas in her head
about her beauty, and one who is
there when she's wanted."
"There because no one. else would
want her, eh? A woman who has
no ideas in her head about herself,
has no ideas In her head about any
thing. A woman like that couldn't
hold my affection. What 1 want for
a wife is a companion, not a drudge;
one who has got some ideas—about
herseli, if you will, or at least about
something. A woman whose mind
Is never out of the kitchen will pret
ty soon drive her husband out of the
house. Now, I want a woman who
can attract me, because then 1 shall
have pleasure in being with her.
Beauty attracts me; therefore, give
me beauty in a woman."
"It would cease to attract when the
dress bills began to come in.”
' I reckon it would be part of my
duty to see that she was properly
dressed. And I should like to help
her to buy.”
.Because you would be paying, eh?
and would want to prevent her from
getting wildly extravagant?”
"No, because 1 should try to be
interested in what interested her; and,
again, because when she was prettily
dressed it would give me as much
pleasure as it gave her. 1 should
look upon her beauty as my special
property, and I should want to pre
serve it and enhance it on that ac
count.”
"You’ve got some rum ideas,”
grunted the man with the tie, as the
train stopped.
The young man did not answer. He
jumped out on the platform and ran
to meet an exceedingly pretty girl,
who was smilingly awaiting him.

Jeanne Towlrr in “The White Sister.”
No play that has been presented in'
late years has been so universally,
praised and endorsed by the press and
public of this country as Viola Allen's
latest success. "The White Sister,” In
which the gifted actress, Jeanne Tow-i

will appear at the Grand Sunday night I

Chicago Tribune says: ” The White
Sister’ is a play every Catholic should
be sure to see, but is a play so clev
erly written that the people of every
creed will enjoy it to the fullest ex

echoed by the critics of New York
and Boston and. In fact, of the whole
country.
"The White Sister’ Is a human story
of the romantic love of an Italian maid
and her soldier hero, and throbs with
all the conflicting emotion the human
soul is capable of. The scenes are
laid In and around an Italian convent
and In the. apartments of the soldier.

Sirolin, although very powerful
in attacking the Tubercle Bacilli,

and creates an appetite that would
do credit to a healthy man, thus
making it a great body-builder.

THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
IozmI proportions. The American stage
has never before seen a production
carried out upon such a tremendous
scale. It was Mr. Savage's desire from
the start to excel, not merely to rival,
the metropolitan representation of
Puccini's last and greatest work. And
he has spared nothing In the way of
expenditure and effort in giving to the
cities not visited by the New York
Metropolitan company a production
equally as elaborate and as painstak
ing as the one presented there last fall
when the high records of cash re
ceipts for an operatic production was
established. Mr. Savage has made a
practical demonstration that music
lovers desire to hear and understand the
text of an opera; and in “The Girl From
the Golden West” this is especially
essential. The dramatic theme of Be
lasco’s dram* which Puccini has ren
dered into the greatest work of mod
ern times requires a perfect under
standing of the librettto to thoroughly
appreciate the remarkable music. Mr.
Savage and his agents scoured all Eu
rope for his singers, visiting all the
principal continental opera house*
and the result is that he has five com
plete casts to accompany his organl
[zation. He was equally solicitous in
I the selection of his chorus, and the
I seventy men who were chosen to rep
resent the gold miners are the exact
, types in the minds of the dramatist
and composer. The orchestra num

the personal direction of the great
Giorgo Polasco of Naples and Venice,
;the life-long friend of Puccini, from
I whom he has caught the exact spirit
1of his wonderful melodies. To trans
port this extraordinary organization an
entire special train of ten cars is re
quired. There are tons and tons of
