Once upon a time I had partial charge of keeping the headquarters of a certain society open. The day were divided into sections of two hours each, and various members of the society were pledged to look out for the headquarters during the hours assigned to them. On the second day my telephone rang frantically. The woman who had promised to take the shift from twelve to two was on the telephone. It was three o’'clock and her successor She subsequently explained that she had heen called to town. She did not gay that the call was extremely press- ing and she had apparently made no effort to get a substitute or notify us. Yet she seemed to feel that the post- mortem explanation wiped the slate perfectly clean.

On other hand, there were women who made considerable sacrifices to keep their word. What a joy it was to look at the schedule for the day-and be able to say, “We needn't worry abo this forenoon. Mrs. M—— has it, and she will be there. or see that some- She’s that kind.” I am a bit afraid that some of the opposite sex will read this with a curled lip and say, “Well, that's all you can expect of a woman.” No, Mr, that the ! | Misogynist, all you can expect of some cxcuses and explanations are offered, | women, and of some men, too. He Wanted Performances Not Explan- | ations. | A business man told me that he had | dismissed a young employee who ap- | peared to me the brightest and most | promising of the half dozen in his of- | fice. 1 asked him why, and he sald, | “Because he seems to think that an | explanation of why he didn't do a | thing is just as good as getting It | done. There are times when explana- tions are necessary, but T don't want too many of them. 1 want perform- ances, not excuses.” To enter a man's employ is to tacitly promise to do the tasks he requires. Constantly substi-, tuting excuses for performances is | breaking this promise. Beyond and above and at the heart of the world of material things is a | world of ideals and intangibilities that to some is more real than the tangi- ble actualities. In this world a re- spect for one's pledged word is some- thing very precious and worth sacri- ficing much to keep the right to.

Miss Ruth Spissell, a dainty tot of five years, is playving the leading role of Claudia in the first act. Just to see her go through her performance is worlh a dollar of any man's money. She !'s the per- sonification of childhoed, with its won- derful indescribable, innocence. It takes the audience back to the real days of girl and boy land, the days when no one knew a care nor sor- row, when all the world was a won- derful dream when stern reality had not put in its appearance. Nor does Miss Spissell hold forth alone. Tu the second act of thi play when the leading fcminine char- acter has assumecd the age of eight Years, Miss Doris Eaton comes on the boards and takes up where the little fot of the first act left off. She tao is a mere slip of a child, boasting only eight summers to her career. But withal Miss Eaton is an actress, ang one of the first water.
