The change in policy at Hhe Bran deis theater has brought on such a deluge of comment (to put it mildly) by mail, over telephone and in per son as to test the 'patience of one thoroughly patience-tested manager, yclept Joy Sjutphen. Lester Heyn conce attended the school on the hill. That's where he became acquainted with the passage from "Haruiet" so cleverly parodied in the second paragraph of the1 fol lowing epistle to Joy.: "m enclosing check for two seats for 'Mister Antonio.' First riight and seats fairly well down jn front, as I am- very-dcaf. Also my hearing is improved by placing me on the aisle and, realizing full well that you wish me to enjoy the swan song of the 'Brandeis Legit., you'll no doubt ac quiesce with my wishes. 'Acquiesce' means seat me where you please. "When your Theater Beautiful first opened 1 came from Detroit to see Doris Keen: in the premiejc perform ance in 'Arsene Lupin' and tt is my wish to attend 'thd last rites of this place we . have loved so well. Alas, poor Brandeis, I lnew its Joy; it was a place of infinite jest, of most ex cellent fancy; it hath borne me in its seats a thousand times, and now how i ibhorred in:my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung those scenes I have enjoyed, I know:not how oft Where are your comedies now? --Your dramas? Your operas? Your flashes of merriment that were wont ..-to' set the theater, oft a roar?

Suggestions for Meatless Day. A letief received last week ask'ng me foi suggestions tor meatless day menus erme to thinking that many housewives might be puzzling over the same problem. To bt quite frank, there really are not innumerable sub stitutes for meat, and the housewife must vary these substitutes by dif ferent methods of preparation. Purpose of Meat or Its Substitutes in the Diet - It is impossible to maintain health unless the body tissue, which is con stantly being broken down, is as con stantly bitilt up. Unfortunately every, fopd will not build body tissue only foods containing protein will build the bady. I here are only a few focds which are particularly rich in this bbdy-bui'ding material. They are meat. fish, m.Jk. eggs, cheese, dried peas, dried beans and nuts. From the standpoint of- nutrition, "meat" in cludes all flesh, whether beef, pork, mutton, poultry or game. But from the conservation standpoint, poultry and game are not "meat." Fresh fish make a very excellent fsubstitute1 for meat; but in some parts of the middle west, especially in small communities, it is almost impossible to get other than canned or cured fish, salmon, tuna fish and most shell fish are excellent in cans.

Ralph Adams Cram tias a Sense of Humor When Lights Go Out Ralph Adams Cram, the famous ar chitect from Boston who spoke before the Fine Arts society Monday after noon is a man with a sense of humor. Mr. Oam's stereopticon lantern re fused to do its duty and in trying to adjust the electrio fuse for the lantern the lights in the ball room at the Fon tenelle began to flicker on and off. Mr. .Cram" was iorced to deliver his lecture in a very informal way and in a dimly lighted room for the most pact. He m4de a number of clever remarks about the situation and Mrs: Charles Kountze, who was sit ting in the front row, said," ' "Let's talk about evolution while we are waiting, Mr. Cram." "Do you think wo would get light?" the architect replied qui . kly. A number of Red Cross workers dropped their duties for the afternoon to attend the lecture, but knitted in dustriously. Misj Mona Cowelt, Miss Margaret Bruce, Miss Hilda Hammer, Miss Gladys Robertson and Mrs. Alan McDonald kept their fingers busy dur ing the afternoon. Among the prom inent women active in the Fine Arts society who were in the audience were Mrs. Louis C, Nash, Mrs. Wal ter T. Page, Mrs. Edgar Mcrsnian, jr.. Miss Gertrude Young, Mrs. George Prinz and Mrs. Leonard Everett. A number of men were seen, particularly those engaged in architectural work, Mr. Alan McDonald, Mr. Frederick Scott. Mr. T. 1 Kimball and Mrs. F, C. Ballard, the latter being personal friends of Mr. Cram. Of Interest to Womet.
