Wno, sitting at the play, lias not
wondered if those portraying passion
were not moved at their counterfeit
presentiment so real it seemed.
There's tho man in a passion, actually
red in the face and trembling visibly;
the mother -weeping over her child.
How true it seems! If she bo not
crying, there is every evidence about
her of profound grief. Seo how she

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR,
ion of her eyes, and note the depth of
feeling in that sigh she fetches. Is
all this but simulation? So it has
often been alleged; only theatrical
trickery. How, however, comes a
medical authority who insists that no
one can simulate passion truly with
out feeling it at least to a certain ex
tent. He says that the players them
selves will sustain his assertion the
best proof of all being that, from the
earliest days of their apprenticeship
they wero bidden to imagine them
selves the personages they would
counterfeit
Any one who has everbeen before the
footlights when a company was being
drilled will remember tho frequent
recurrence of such remarks as these
by the stage manager: "Mr. Jones,
you're not feeling the part, you're only
acting it. No man ever looked as you do
when he was really mad. Miss Smith,
you would notcry in such a happy-go-
lucky fashion, were you really cast
adrift on a deserted island. Try and
imagine such a condition; think of
your forlorn state, the fact that you
are not likely to see home and friends
again. Perhaps you will starve, or be
eaten by wild beasts when night
comes" and so on.
Another authority, in a recent pa
per on the subject, takes the opposite
view, insisting it is all mechanical.
He says: "By long practice we are
enabled to intervene between tho
psychological and the muscular or
vascular conditions. Oursocial edu
cation accustoms us, from infancy up
ward, to the exercise of some sort of
control over the exhibition of tho
emotions, and to tho well-trained in
dividual it is comparatively easy to
prevent his face divulging his thoughts
and feelings. In the same way actors
gradually become enabled to tear
a passion to tatters without show
ing the emotion to which their mim
icry gives rise in tho onlookers. An
actor who really wept or really
laughed would bo as little fitted for
his task as a medical man who really
experienced the sympathy which his
speech and manners are intended to
convey. Not that there is anything
hypocritical in either case, but both
having acquired the ability to disas
sociate the feeling from its normal
manifeitations. From a theatrical
point of view, it is surprising what
education and practice can do toward
converting into voluntary nets phe
nomena which, in other people, aro
utterly beyond the sphere of tho
will."

Women find a ea ol trouble in
their housekeeping, glome one says
tbey often put as much worry and
anxiety into a loat of bread, a pie, a
cake, into tbe weekly washing and
ironing as should suffice for much
weightier s matters. Sopposa these
things go wrong to-day, tbe lo-mor-towb
nre coming in which to try
again, and tho thing is not worth
clouding your own Bpirit and those
around you, injuring yourself and
them physically for the mind affects
the body and for such a trifle.
When a thing is beyond repair, waste
no useless regrets over it and do no
idle fretting. Strive for that aeren
ity of Epririt that will enable you to
make tho test of all things. That
mease contentment in its best sense.
