HAVE you ever felt sorry for a lono man or woman at a theater, ca
peclaliy a man who seemed to bo a stranger and apparently had
dropped Into the matinee In order to be less lonesome? One of
these men, for whom I have always thought wo should feel sorry,
tells me that there aro few things more entertaining than to attend a mat
inee and elt In the midst of a number of women, who have not seen each
other for some time and havo so much to say that they scarcely havo Umo
to listen to tho play. Hero Is some of tho conversation heard recently ly
a lone man at tho matinee: t
Two nttractlvo young women, one of whom had spent the summer
abroad, sat Just back of him.
"Yes, all of tho women abroad Bmoke," said ono. of them.
"1 suppose you learned to smoko, too," said the. other.
"No, what's tho use, I would havo to unlearn-when' I returned homo
this winter."
Each of them had evidently seen tho play beforo, and their criticisms
were also quite worth while
"This play has been changed In tho third act since I -saw it, and it 1b
Dot nearly so thrilling," said one.
"The leading man romlnds mo of Mr. Blank."
"Do you think so?" replied tho other.
"Yes, indeed, he Is qulto somebody. I think ho Is in "Who's Who "
Bald the enthusiastic one. '
"Ho is more apt to bo one of tho 'Hero's How,' " said tho less optimistic
one.

Thrown from Mails
Many of the Christmas postal cards
which aro being mailed by Omaha people
this week will never reach tho friends
and relatives to whom they are ad
dressed. This situation Is not duo to
the congestion of the malls, bnt to the
fact that all cards which are decorated
or coated with tinsel or metal decora
tions must be enclosed In envelopes be
foro they may be transmitted through
the malls.
Wednesday more, than 300 juch cards
were taken from the malls here and will
be held and eventually destroyed. Some
time ago, a ruling was made prohibiting
the transmission of such cards through
the malls. It Is contaided by postal
authorities that tho decorations pasted
to the rnrds painfully cut the hands of
the postal clerks who are obliged to
handle them. Postmaster Wharton has
especially requested that people 'n
Omaha toko the precaution to enclose
theso cards In envelopes to avoid being
disappointed when friends fall to re
ceive their Christmas greetings.
