" A e TRAVEL FESTIVAL A BROAD EDUCATION 2 ‘ The great vogue and popularity of Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival which comes to the Lyceum on Sun- day night is due to the fact that the public has become more and more discriminating in the photographic quality of films as well as the sub- Ject matier. This same public rea- lizes that in these respects Mr. Howe's exhibition meets the demands of the most critical and exacting and that it can always be depended upon the sur- pass the most . sanquine expectations. In his entirgdiy new program Mr. Howe promigés one of the most de- lightful pictire journeys he has ever presented. Tt will take local “Howe travelers” to Venice—the city of the sea. The series is unique— because Venice is unique. All other cities in the world resemble each other in many respects, but Venice alone re- mains distinetive-——a city of romance where poetry conguers prose. And it {s exactly his poetic beauty of Venice that Howe’s films conveys ex- quisitely. ~ Of ‘course, the mnew pro- gram inocludes numerou§ other note- worthy features such as a descent in- to the crater of Vesuvius where spec- tators peer down into a vast abyss of boiling lava. Then there is a thrill- ing ride on a runaway train. This, too, is a descent, but an an appall- ing rate of speed down the moun- tain side and around curves—the train increasing in momentum at every foot until spectators are trans- fixed in suspense as to just how such an eventful trip will end. The muys. terious development of flowers; the grace and beauty of nature's nandi- work - during the growth of ‘plants: the fascinating formations caused by the electrolysis of metals, and a rail- road ride through Greece are only a few of the many other features to be presented. In addition there will be those amusing, clever animated cartoons which always form such a GOe‘rs_ “Swapping Wives and Husbands” Not Bad Social Sign, Says Mrs. Putnam Denounces Entire System of Moral, Reigious, Social and Economic Training Which Found Divorce a Dangerous Practice. (By Doris E. Fleischman in New York Tribune.) “Swapping wives and husbands has become as swapping horses in our country,” said Justice Froderick E. Crane from his bench | in the supreme court, Brooklyn. And he further bewailed the lamentable state of affairs which makes “judges the supposed guardians of the law, practically to sit back and wink at felonies and watch the offenders go free.” as common iariage is the cheapest thing under our law. Marry one day and then come bhack in court the follow- ing morning and get divorced. If we want polygamy, why don’t we come out bravely and establish it here,” said the exasperated judge. Mrs. Putnam’s Views, We asked Mrs. Nina Wilcox Put- nam, novelist and short story writer, ‘who is preparing to make definite scientfic research , into this very problem, to give her views on Judge Crane’s assertions, and in her chary acteristically direct manner of &peech she dénounced the entire sys- tem of moral, religious, social and economic training which found di- vorce a dangerous practice “Our entire view of the matter is wrong. This man states that we are having a lot of divorces at the pres- ent time. Of course we are. Tnat is a hopeful sign. “There is nothing more immoral than forcing people by law to lve together after love has ceased. And pleasant diversion. Seat sale at Crowell's now. SOCIETY FILM SERIES OF LAUGHS | “Who's Who in Society,” the laughing success with a cast of Broadway favorites, including Della Connors and Dan Moyles, is the big attraction at Fox’'s tomorrow night. The story is replete with mirth-pto- voking situations, excruciatingly funny climaxes and is one of those laughable comedies we always enpoy. Mrs. O'Brien, newly rich, vainly as- pires to social prominence, an am- bition in ‘which her comman, chess- loving husband does not sympathize. Pretty Miss Ellen, the daughter, and therefore I think that if two. people do not want to live with each other any longer that should be a sufficient ground for divorce. Naturally Polygamous, ‘““We are not naturally polygamous I firmly believe that every man and every woman will remain constant it they but marry the person whom they love, and if the conditions of mar- riage are as they should be, “And chief of these conditions is the 'economic independence of wom- en., If women can earn their own living they will not marry except for love. And love s the only reason for marriage. And if they maintain this independence they will not fear di- vorce.

Hap- piness is based on freedom, and un- less there is freedom in marriage a Jap butler constitute the household. One day Mrs. O’Brien sends out invi- tations to\ a' party which the Van Dusens and Van Astorbilts refuse to attend. While she is mourning this loss, an automobile breaks down in front of the house, and a slender young mna, who introduces himself as Lord Algernon St. Clair, seeks refuge while his car awaits the re- pairman. Mrs. O’'Brién, scenting a noble match, promptly ihvites him to stay for the party. Meanwhile a rough looking character alights from an automobile, and after a careful in- spection of the house, rejoins his friends and disappears. n hour later, immaculately groomed, he en- ters the club of which O’Brien is a member, and finding the solitary old man playing a lonesome game of chess, offers himeelf for partner. In this way he obtains an invitation to attend Mary Ellen's party. In due time the guests arrive, consisting of the good natured but illiterate friends, their children and the stranger. There immediately commences a vigorous suit for the hand of prstty Mary Ellen on the part of Lord Algy and the stranger. Mary KEllen shows her preferénce for the stranger, and then weird things happen, and finishes up in one round of laughter that will keep you rocking in your chair. Several eingle reel dramas and comedies of the popular makers will augment the program, and with the usual organ recital a pleasing and diversified pro- gram ip in store for the legion of Fox Sundsy night patrons. ‘“Wermwood,” Marie Corelli's masterwork, picturized by the William Fox forces, is proving a popular attraction, being shown for the last times tonight.

THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME there will' be no happiness. “Love should be a free gift. And it should have the witching element of romance., But clean romance Tasn't had a chance in the world, be- cause women have been making a eapital of their only profession. They have commercialized love.” Married Nine Years. Mrs, Putnam, who has beén mar- ried for nearly nine vears. and who looks surprisingly young, then told of the chief fault in behavior which characterizes most marriagés. And strangely, her cure seems to beard the lion-and make it the instrument to keep out its own evils. For accord- ing to her society has restricted the gocial intercourse of married people to members of their own sex, on the ground that breaking down barriers would lead to. the desire te “swap wives and husbands,” too, very fre- quently. It has also held that laws which made separation difficult pre- vented people from marrying when they were unsuited, and prevented them from putting themselves in a position wheére they should desire to “swap.” But both these Mrs. Putnam de- clarés to be false. “Nine-temths of the illieit romance in this world is caused by the charm which liss in the secrécy. But if a man and woman are not sure of each other, if the charming uncertainty of the ecourt- ehip is never entirely removed, the | husband and wife will continually try to gain each other’'s regard anew. They will never find the bonds of watrimony irksome—for if they do they know they can cast them off without opprobrium attaching itself to their action. Hence T say that it is freedom to attain divorce which will girectly ‘and radically decrease the desire to have divorce. 0ld Idea of Posscssion. “You see, there is now too much of the eold {dea of possession.

They are afraid that tney, meaning the other member to the party, wiil fall in love with some one else. But and wife truly love each other, if they iry to keep pace with eaca other, and it there is nothing extraorcinary in the regard which each nas for cther’s freedom of action.” The crux of the matter, apparently, seems to be-to marry the person that one loves and no other. ~And that is not as difficult as one might think,” rays Mrs. Putnam, with ner voice and her eyes and her entire pose one of challenge. “T think that each man i: made for one woman. If women n’t ‘marry just so’that they can be pported or not to be ‘old maids’ n of derigion which is merely an cuses be all right. Mistakes Are Possible, “Of course there are mistakes. Sometimes they. are called infatuation. But people should not be forced to iive together the rest of their lives be- cause of that. They have had suffi- cient puniehment in the period in which they discover their mistake, Further punishment by the law will not act as a deterrent to others.” “You see, it all comes down to the economic independence of women, If v;omen could support themselves they could marry young. And that is the sreatest boon that coula be granted us. In the first flush of their young romance they are likely to choose the until we do. But monogamy has never had a chance to assert itself with us. There have been too many cuntrolling influences to prevent it. We can never get rid of experimenta- tion until society places sex on a re- spectable standing.” Then Mrs. Putnam summed the mat- ter up in scécinetly. She has but just published a novel, “The Little Mis- gioner,” in which she points out the fact that no marriage can be happy while one-half is dependent upon the cther, for this state but results is a system of lies, deceit and sorrow. Women Must Be Educated. “Women must be educated in order | tc put an end to the present ev Until women are politicdlly, sociall morally and ecomically absolutely equal with men marriages cannot be happy or endurable. Ana until that tbat time we must be freeaom of di- vorce. For even children are better cft when their parents are divorced than when they are living together unlovingly. “And even after the equalizing of the sexes we must have absolute free- dom of divorce, for gpsorutely knowl- edge is never assured. Divorce, where the love is dead and the state of mar- riage is unhappy, is unquestionably moral; where divorce is absured, just as when any other social institution is abused, is is absolutely immoral. But if we are ever to have moraiity, as the world understands it. We must have access of divorce, the most expedient and the least understood of all the possibilities which lie before us.” ND CONCERT. American Band of This City Will Give Program at Lake Compounce.

Dazzling the heélper might be the title of a sport which is extremely popular among a certain class of women. 1 once had a washerwoman who worked the day before for a woman emphatically of ths type. She came to me crammeéd, so chuek full of facts and figures with which her yesterday's employer had sought to dazzle ber and establish a sense of her own importance that some of them simply had to spill over. “I jroned Mrs. Martin's best table¢loth yesterday, and what do Yl think she said it cost? Eighteen dollars. Yes'm, eighteen dollars, or sister gave it to her when she was married. Her sister has lots of money ghe says. Keeps two girls and a man. The napkins to go with that tablecloth cost two dollars apiece. | guess Mrs. Martin must have had grand wedding. She said there were four hundred people there, and the silk in her wedding dress cost five dollars a yard.” The Crowning Revelation. At this crowning revieation my washerwoman's eyes grew large, and it was plan to see that my neighbor’'s desire to ddzzle her had been amply fulfilled. My neighber is evidently an extreme case of devotion to this sport, Mt I suspect that a great many of us indulge in it to some extent. Almost every woman comes into contact with helpers of various kinds whose worldly position and possessions are less than hers—perhaps A maid, perhaps a manicurist, a washerwoman or a seamstiress. And as the chief joy of having worldly positionor possessions is to dazrle someond with them, and as she cannot daszle Her associates who have as hlch as she, is it strange that many a woman acquires the habit of displaying her glories to these people who are 8o satisfactorily impressed by them Part of Their Business. 1 T onee knew a little seamstress who came of a wealthy family and who had had far more luxuries in her youth than any of us who employ er Some of her newer patrons did not know this and it was half pathetie, half humorous to me to hear one of thém trylng to impress her with her own huymble splendors. To my surprize, however, she seemed deeply im- pressed. 1 asked her about it afterward “it's part of my business” she said, “to give them pleasure that w 1 don't grudge it.” I've been wondering since if a good many others do not, like her, pretend to be impressed because they realize that that is a part of their business. Not a flattering thought if one is addicted to the habit, is it? ey Co. b Rt S - BY MAY MANTON | ) 8677 Circular Flounced Sidirt, 24 to 32 waist.
