The action is not monopolized by one or two people, but shared by a large cast. Nor are there any vaudeville inter- polations. They are not needed in “High Jinks.” There is a merry enough story in the plot, and the mus- ical numbers that fall naturally in with the action furnish plenty of variation of the tuneful sort. A stolen kiss, wives pursuing husbands, and a comic Frenchman, wild for a duel, are among the factors that complicate the plot. A handsomely go chorus of singing and dancing girls add zest to the festivities.

There is one man who has put in practice a plan of helping the widow with a family to raise. This is Char- les Page, of Tulsa, Okla. Mr. Page started with an intimate knowledge of the troubles and burdens of the widow, for one of his earliest reco lections was that of seeing his widowed mother bending wearily over a washtub in the effort to rub out of the board a sparse living for herself and her seven children. He tried to help her shoulder her burdens and worked hard to help her take care of the children. But hard as he could work the struggle was a heavy one, and it deeply impressed into his bewil- dered child mind a resentment against the conditions that could impose this burden upon his mother. The first resolve he ever made was that when he grew up he would take care of all the widows. His mother worked herself into her grave and left him with the family cares. He did what he could find to do and later, when the family was old enough to care for itself, he set out to seek a fortune. Three times he made one and three times slipped through his grasp. Then fate one day led him to the oil flelds in Oklahoma and pointed out the way. The result of his planning is one of the most unique institutions in the country. It is a town for widows. It almost built itself overnight. It sprang from the conviction of Mr. Page that a widow only wanted a chance to work for her children and to keep them together. It is in no sense a charity, every mother must work out her own salvation—but Mr. Page stands by her while she is work- ing. He is a multi-millionaire now; but never too busy to hear the plea of a widow. At first he found work for them in Tulsa. He found jobs for dozens of them. Any widow who appealed for work at the Page offices and who indicated a disposition to raise her family in the fear of God and without shirking her responsi- bilities found a friend in Mr. Page. The time came when the town was full of widows. “Guess I'll have to build a town for them,” said Mr. Page Established Orphans’ A few miles out of Tulsa he had already established an Orphans’ Home. He had taken it over bodily from a bankrupt institution in the town from which the children were about to be turned out. Mr. Page heard of it and went down and legally adopted all the children. He has none of his own, but every homeless child is entitled to his love and protection. His method of taking care of them is a characteristic one. He had a friend in Tulsa, an officer in the Sal- vation Army, Captain Breeding. “I want you to take these little kids out on my farm and make a home for them,” he said to Captain Breeding. “You need the outdoor life yourself. Put ’em in sime big tents until we can run up some buildings. I cannot stand by and see them turned out in the cold.” The captain protested on the ground that he had a mission he dared not neglect. “God has called you to a greater mission,” said Mr. Page. ‘‘Here are a lot of children to be trained into use- ful citizens. There cun be no greater work in the world,” “Daddy Page’s Children-” Home. Captain Breeding took off the uni- form of the army and put on the blue overall uniform of the farmer and went out on the farm. It was a new sort of orphans’ home. There were no uniforms, no set rules. They were just “Daddy Page’s children,” to be brought up as a large family, in a sen- sible way. Practical teachers were brought there and the children looked upon themselves as especially lucky to be the proteges of Mr. Page. Near the farm he butit his town for the widows. He calls it Sand Springs. It is in a picturesque spot, with low, tree-crowned hills rising all about it. He built a street car line to carry the widows and orphans to and from Tulsa and not a one of them pays fare. The conductors know them all and any child who swings aboard the car and says. “I'm one of Daddy Page's boys” is not questioned. Famous “Widows' Row."” Just outside the city limits he built the famous “Widows® Row.” There are dozens of small two and three roomed cottages for the widows who choose to live there, under the trees, in the fresh country air, gas, fuel and rent were furnished free. A ‘“down- town’ district was built up and fac- tories invited to come, that the widows might have plenty of work. First a canning factory came. The widows might raise the vegetables and sell them to the factory, or they might go to work in the factory at the can- ning. A day nursery was established at the Widows' Row to care for the babies while their mothers were at work. There is a kindergarten for the children old enough, and only widowed mothers were engaged to look after them. There must be plen- ty of love and affection for the ch dren, Mr, Page believes. He likes grandmothers, too, and there are four or five of them at the colony. They putter around all day, do the simple mending and rock the babies to sleep. just as any grandmother would do. Followed three glass factories { to it | Town to Also Establishes Orphans’ Sand Springs, a smelter, a car factory, a washing-machine’ factory, two or three laundries, the electric light plant. a broom factory, an army leg- ging factory, a stove foundry, and banks, stores, restaurants. hotels—all the accompaniments of a thriving city—and all to provide work for the widows and their children. Employs Resident Physician. A resident physician resides there, and Mr, Page employs him part of the day to make regular rounds to see that the babies are kept well. Eyes, ears, noses and throats are carefully looked after. If there are any serious operative cases they are sent to a hos- pital at Tulsa, where Mr. Page main- tains several fifteen-dollar- a-week rooms for his large ramily if they need special medical attention.” He is always willing to take a chance on human nature, and turns a listening ear to any widow who writes of her needs. His mail is tre- mendous, but no widow who wants to come to the Widows’' Town is refused. She must pay her own fare, but Mr, Page will look out for her once she is there. Encourages Callers. Mr. Page encourages callers in Widows Row, provided they can as- sure him that they are honest, indus- trious and having serfous intentions. He believes in good home for mothers. with good husbands to provide for them, and already there have been romances that are none the less touch- ing because they come late. He docs not believe in rules; he likes to ap- peal to a sense of fair play and jus- tice. “I believe in the home,” he insists. “I would be glad to see any of these widows marry good men.” If a mother prefers to live in Sand Springs or Tulsa and pay her own rent, she is free to do so. To to help them to help themselves. provides work in plenty for all of them and makes his benevolences sup- port themselves on a business basis. He has made ample provisions for the maintenance of this philanthropic in his will, and of death the widows would amply provided for. His wife is in hearty sympathy with him in this work, and every Sunday evening is spent by the Pages at the Widows’ Row and at the simple Sunday evening devotions held in the sitting room at the Orphans’ Home, where all the children congre- gate to sing and to listen to a Bible reading. Population More Than $1,000. The population of Sand Springs, which 'is only two or three years old, reached 2,000 the first year and has more than doubled since. A fourth of this figure is made up of widows earning a good living and educating their children. Mr, Page takes an ac- tive interest in the town schools and sees that they are kept at a creditable standard. The boys and girls at the Home are given their choice of a profession and a chance for a training when they fin- ject in case his be give | charity is not his design, he only wants He | for Theater Goers and Women Readers In one of the current magazines I read recently an anecdote of a newly- appointed judge who owed his prefer- ment to political influence rather than judicial training. for the plaintiff had made a masterly re- sume of his case. “I find for the plaintiff,” judge, vastly impressed harangue he had listened to. The attorney for the defendant was on his feet in an instant. “Don’t I get opportunity to present my case?" he demanded. “Well—you can if you said the judge, grudgingly. And The Judge Reserved His Decis- sion. The attorney for the defendant rose to the emergency. When he finished the judge, with wonder writ- ten on his face, ejaculated: “Don’t it beat all—the wins after all!” It's very funny, of course, But it reminded me of another incident in which the propensity of the aver- age individual to act as judge on any and every occasion, and ren- der verdicts as did the judge on half the evidence or less, is illustrated. A woman who, I am sure, con- siders herself fair-minded and Im- partial, came out on the car the other evening during the rush hour. Across from her sat a. man, the hus- band of a woman with whom she was slightly acquainted. There were many women standing.

How many times have you madd some little blunder that you felt no one would blame you for If they had all the facts at hand? How many times have you, smarting un- der the sense of being judged simply by appearances, which were against you, wondered why people couldn’t be more fair-minded? And—how many times judged other people cases? The Biblical injunction, “Judge not that we be not judged,” is aimed at one of the cardinal sins. Few in- deed can resist the temptation, the au- tomatic temptation to render judg- ment upon his neighbors. And over and over again the average man, im- pressed by the evidense so far pre- sented, finds for the plaintiff when® if the defendant had had a hearing, judgment would be reversed. “Don't it beat all?” of of the hos{ indignantly verdict have you in similaz ish the grade schools.
