vallnaj the Drama.
IiONDON. March 13. There la no nlaoe
In all the wrrlil whore Hons can he made
to roar ail easily ami entertainingly as
they do In Iomlon. Hlgh-browcd Intellec
tuality la the. English fad of the present
day, uid debating clubs, clubs for the ele
vation of the drama, for the discussion
of pniHjy and for social Improvement exist
In legions, and to their meeting most will
ingly come the Intellectual Hons and read
papers or lead discussions.
first of all there ore the societies for
the elevation of the drama, any number
of them, with new ones cropping up all
the time. Plawwrights offer their plays
gratuitously to those organisations In the
hope that a performance will brlrur at least
f recognition of their merit. Actors w ho
have tot rears been established London
favorites give their servient at a small fee
for the mere Joy of acting; before a really
Intelligent audience.
Performances are given on Sunday even
ings, and It is possible to spend every
Sunday at the theater If one wishes to
subscribe freely to all the societies. They
must be supported entirely by subscrip
tion, for if tickets were sold the censor
would be able to prohibit many of the
plays and the rigorous English Sunday
laws would stop the breaking of the Sab
batic Work of Stage Society.
The Stage aoclety la the largest, best
known and most successful of these or
ganisations. Such men as Bernard Shaw.
William Archer and Granville Baker were
among the founders, and now after ten
years they still give a great deal of time
to the reading and selection of suitable
plays and the production of them, while
such actors as Flahor White, Leon Quar
termalne, Norman Macklnnel and Henry
Alnley and such actresses as Ethel Irving,
Hlkla Trovelyan, Marlon Terry, Llll.ih
Maocarthy and Margaret Halston, whose
names are household words in London,
give their services.
The Pioneers and the English Play so
ciety are other organizations of the same
sort. They succeed in getting well known
managers like Sir Charles Wyndham, Fred
erick Harrison, Arthur Bourchler and J.
Grant Allen among their subscribers and
helpers.
Then there are the Sunday nlglit debat
ing clubs which discuss the drame some
times over dinner tables, some times with
out any feast save that of reason. Of these
the O. P. club, the Dramatic Debaters and
the Playgoers are the best known.
The O. P. club has a Sunday even
ing dinner at which speeches are
made, with some actress In the chair to
call upon the speakers. Miss Marie Lohr,
Miss Constance Collier, Miss Dorothea
Balrd and Miss Ellen Terry have all pre
sided there, and Max Beerhohm, 11. II.
Irving and Mostyn Plgott have been ro
om t attractions.
The O. P. , not long ago got
particularly frivolous and Invited the1 whole
"Merry Widow" company to dinner, an
Invitation accepted with alacrity. Maud
Allen gave1 them a deep and soulful lecture
on dancing and Its meaning the other Sun
day. HoW -they succeeded In luring her
to their dinner no one knows,-but she cams
and talked about terpslchorian art far less
ably than she exhibits it at the Palace
Music hall.
Poets Are Frosperona.
There is nothing In the Poets' club par
ticularly suggestive of poets as history has
shown them. These modern English poets
dine sumptuously anf-wear well cut dress
suits, but lions throng to them and glnrtly
roar for them. At last week's meeting
Bernard Shaw, Gilbert Chesterton, Hugh
Law Irish, M. P.. Hllat're Belloc, M. P.,
and Maurice "Hewlett were all guests.
Mr. Chesterton, after a long and excel
lent dinner, waa over-lectured. His sub
ject was the difference between the ancient
and the modern English and Scottish
ballads. When he had finished he Invited
discussion after the time-honored fashion
of lions In the chair. Then followed much
talk on every subject under the sun except
the one appointed. This was poet's license,
and Mr. Chesterton was prepared for it.
He said he thought it would happen. He'd
been to these affairs before.
Bernard Shaw added to the general merri
ment, as usual. His Idea Is that the only
way people can discuss things intelligently
1 to fast for a while, then their minds will
be clearer. He thinks poets should write
ballads with music In their thoughts and
readers should read them in the same
fashion. He himself reads and elucidates
Browning in this manner. He keepa some
bars of music in his mind and sets the
stansas to them. Then he finds Browning
as clear as daylight.
A fiery dramatic critic roundly attacked
Mr. Chesterton for certain opinions. But
you can t ruu.e Air. Chesterton a good
humor. And, though he broke the leg of a
chair, it was don only in an erstacy of
delight at some parts of the discussion.
and an ecstacy of delight with a man of
Mr. Chesterton's prooprtlons ia likely to
break something.
Makes Life Interesting:.
These Intellectual meetings, with or with
out dinners these gathering'; together of
high-browed men and soulful women in
garments which flow but don't fit make
London social life of the present day very
interesting if somewhat amusing. From
clubs it is spreading to home affairs.
The craze far literary lions us guests Is
making a new function of the erstwhile
staid and formal English dinner. The lion
leads the discussion here, as elsewhere,
music Is done away with and conversation
is the great entertainment of the present
day.
Only one club keeps to Its ancient fashion
and scorns all tbla craae for mental Im
provement and sharp discussion. That

HOME - MADE QUININE
HAIR TONIC
The high cost of a good quinine hair
tonic prevents thousand! of men and women
from using such a preparation daily on
the hair. This has resulted in the study
and investigation of the subject by some
bright men and women who use quinine
hair tonic regularly, but who do not care to
pay for the expensive, ready-made tonics.
They find that by simply mlxiug 1 oa. of
Beta Qu.nol with half a pint of water and
half a pint of alcohol that they can make
more than a full pint of quluine hair tonic
of better quality and more beneficial to the
hair than any of the widely advertised
brnnds. A tonic made as described h re
will help the hair to become beautiful,
glossy, long and abundant. It tends to pre
vent dandruff and failing hair and keeps
the scalp in a healthy condition. This
home-made tonic la used by women who
have most beautiful hair and plenty of It.
as well as those whose hair and scalp are
put In perfect condition. The Beta Qulnol
and ahohol can b procured at any drug

more and better hair tonle than you could

New American Shape"
CAN WEAR
Directoirc Gowns
with
Grace and Comfort v
The Nemo "New American Shape"
has been adopted by jLondon, Paris
and Berlin, and its influence is already
shown in recent changes in Paris
modes and the statement that
"In 1909 the waist-line will resume
its normal position. "
The Nemo "New American Shape',
is simply this:
Extreme Directoire slenderness with
the tapering waist retained.
This effect can be produced only by
the new Nemos for 1909. The long,
barrel-like corsets which Paris has
made and America has copied, can crush
J 'our figure, if you pull hard enough;
ut it's misery to wear them, and they
won't let you sit down.
Nemo Corsets for 1909 give you abso
lute comfort and the ultra-fashionable
figure. j
The illustration shows one of the new
Self-Reducing Corsets No. 405, at
$4. 00. Its long skirt produces extreme
reduction of back, nips and upper
limbs when you're standing. When
you sit down, the pressure is released,
and you are as comfortable as though
you had no corset on.
The new Relief Band add greatly
to the hygienic value of thi3 corset
They are extra-wide, follow the con
vexity of the form, and give complete
comfort by firmly supporting the abdo
men from underneath.
This is only one of the Nemo Spec
ialties for 1909. Later we'll tell you
of others equally important
