ABOUT TIGHTS.
OPINIONS BY AMERICAN ACTRESSES.
Some of the American papera do manage to zet hold of extraordinary information, and one- of our Yankes contemporaries has lately been propounding the conundrum of several well- known actresses, "What do you think of tights
"Wearing tights has never fajoied me,” says Miss Jessie Bartlett-Davis, who almost avows a preference for this form of stage attire.
"Bat ihen," she adds, “I am a large, strong woman, and I could endure what others couldn't. Í have known of many cases where the choru girls fainted away because the tights disgged on ihem so. The straps and strings around the walat are what pull on them, and the tights have to be pulled up very tight. It is very easy to catch cold in tights." Abem 1

You can't blame them. But all the women in our company-the principals and the chorus girls are symmetrical. When you see us on the stage you may be sure we are not deceiving you."
Wear
Another young lady, Marten Manola, who has frequently appeared in Europe, says she would rather play parts in which she has tights; but she, too, seems to lean to the view that to some women the wearing of them injuriane."They pull and dreg, and the strings to hold them ap sink into the fish sometimes. But if a woman isn't strong the stage is no place for her. Positively, too, one can catch cold very easily in tights, with the strong daughts that are always to be folt behind the scenes. But most women wear what is termed under-tights, both to keep off the dye on the outer tights from causing blood-poisoning, and to keep themselves warm. In conclusion, please put me down as favoring tights. The person who object to them is a bigot."
One vivacions young lady, named Jenny Joyce, begins ber confession by saying, "How do I look in tights? Just fine." Which is, I need hardly point out, a modest avowal, and coe withal which shows how truest mod.esty may be found in rows of legs always lifting themselves in concert, always working plakly es marsi, and always floating like bespangled mates in ibg oftimes empty sunbeam of latter-day burlesque.
But there is some excuse for Jennie's some- what startling frankness, for she goes on to tell a delighted world how she now prefers tights to dresses, how when she used to appear in Phila delphia she didn't know anything" about her. self, and how it was not illi I got to New York that the boys told me I had a beautiful shape I took their word for it." Which, of course, was Philadelphian mirror (act the excellent periodi very wise. At the same time we fancy the

· It isn' pleasant to be ridiculed, What does abs think about it? Pretty much as he does.
She likes those smaller courtesies of man to women, doesn't she?
Yes, but she would rather not have them than be the subject of comment.
Who makes such comments? Mostly persons not as happy as the average, Are there enough of them to comst? It appears yo.
Isn't there some other reason besides that? Possibly.
Men and women, and husbands and wives, get a little tired of each other don't they?.

Does he go to it?
Yes; he finds it pleasant there sometimes. And how about business ?
He finds business engagements occasionally interfere with engagements with bis wife.

And he could forego the pleasures of the club also in the courtship days?
His friends at the club say so. She knows about it, doesn't she?

Dr. Bedloe has spent the past four years la China, at a point not nearly so near to Honolulu as San Francisco is, and not in the least superior to that place for purposes of observation on Hawaiian astre. He has occupied himself in improving the Celestial mind and Illustrating the great advantage of the American joke as a mother of the aperities of Ufe. That Chias is all the happier and better for his sojourn there we have not the shadow of a doub", and that Dr Bedlon bas made the community of Amay wiser and mearier and more comfortable gees without saying. But what all this bas to do with Hawall we cannot, for the life of us, Imagice, and why the New York Herald should drag Bolloe the Nordhaff Spreckels cabal is a mystery wholly beyond our power of solution. The Doctor has never spent a month in the Sandwich Islands. Pe cannot possibly understand the real significance of the situation there, and, finally, we do not believe that he would, under any circu

It were too bad it Dr. Redion should be sacrificed to the Herald's futile and ridiculous enterprise.

And we take the
