THE SINCERE IN THE INSINCERE. It seems a strange paradox, but there is a great deal of sincerity evidenced in the most absolute insincerity of many things, as for in stance take the ethics of dress. It needs but a walk of a few blocks on any of our principal street# or a -trip on any of the street cars to show us how much sham and insincerity there can be in a woman’s adorning, says an Exchange. Time was when the line was strictly drawn at what a lady could wear. She could be as plain as the proverbial pipe-stem, but she must be real. The thought of imitation jewelry, false hair, paid-for figures and shoddy materials was as abhorrent as the idea of bought teeth. Nowadays girls rather pride themselves on their shams, and will calmly admit to everything upon them being a pretense—but their teeth. Those must still bear the hallmark of nature, even if filled with glass and gold. This change of viewpoint, which permits even gentlewomen to wear what would have horrified their mothers, has come about gradually. The clever manufacturers are responsible. It is they who have evolved imi tation laces so artistic that they are in a class by themselves, have made French jewelry that women are proud to own, and invented satin that is lovelier than real silk. The milliners have been death to sincerity in dress. If they would create hats as big as cart wheels, bought locks were bound to follow. Women who would have scorned to wear a braid to eke out scanty tress es two years ago are bepuffed out of semblance to a human head. It may seem funny, but there is an amusing sincerity in all this in sincerity. Girls do not hesitate to tell their friends, both men and women, what they paid for their latest new hair coronet braid, and one young Augusta woman unhesitatingly announced that the latest acquisi tion to her coiffure was the gift of a coronet braid from a man friend. They will calmly ask: ‘‘Does my rat show?” And readjust it in a crowded theatre as calmly as if they were simply pinning on a flower. Some few are as accommodating as was the young woman who was good enough to remove her puffs beoause they obstructed the view of the ’ man behind her. A woman can indulge in imitating anything as long as she tells it. When a girl wears rhinestone buckles, with the belief that they will be taken for diamonds, it is not hard to define that girl’s social status. Insincerity in clothes may be shown even when one does not dress shoddily. The girl who wears clothes richer than she can afford is plainly a sham. She appears other than she is, often at the cost of her good name. There is a certain insincerity in the girl who is a faddist In dressing. She assumes a pose often foreign to her real self. Fortunately, there is less of this than there used to be. What may be called sincere dressing is to wear the best one can af ford in materials, and wear then suitably at suitable times. French jewelry, imitation lace, even false hair, may be sincerity itself, while an imitation point lace bertha and rhinestone horseshoe is a pitiable sham.

And yet. the answer Is not far to seek —the theatregoing public likes every, thing that is sensational. No calmly thinking person can ap prove of the play founded on "The lyeopard's Spots’’ and "The Clans man,” the two books that, have aroused such intense feeling In both the north and the south, and yet everyone must, agree that the play Is, dramatically speaking, a power ful and an Intensely Interesting com position. It has many of the strik ing elements of comedy and of tra gedy, and Its love story Is a very appealing one. Yet it Is for none of these things that It continues, after three or four years of existence, to race Hotel during tils stay.

Wll let Seed Co. Get their weekly price current. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14. HUNTER’S appeal to a large public, a public that half fills the parquets of the theatres and leaves not a vaoant seat In the gallery and balconies. It Is the ex citement in its melodrama, the op portunity for people easily wrought up to emotion of one kind or another to vociferously applaud or to hiss. Misses and plaudits were plentiful enough last night, and from the heart felt manner In which the first were uttered it was easy to believe the press agent’s story that so wrought up were the people who saw the play for the first time In a small south western town that they threatened to lynch (lie man playing the part of Silas Lynch, a threat that would doubtless have been carried out had not the aotor quickly gotten rid of his cleverly Imitative make-up and proven himself to he a white man. The present company placing "The Clansman" Is, with only one or two exceptions, by no means as good as other companies we have had In tho play; but no company could make the thing acceptable. From svery view point It Is an abomination, and the quicker it Is taken off the stage the better It will be for everybody except those who have never failed to reaii a golden harvest from that which cannot help hut have a perni cious influence In one way or another.
