EW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1916. st A STORY YOU OAN BEGIN AT ANY 1IME Her Side---and His How Cora and David Temple Solved Their By ZOE BECKLEY Marital Problems Why Is a Honeymoon? Janet Thayer and Walter Stedman had been five days on that tradi- tional and hallowed emotional excursion called a ‘“honeymoon.” Being a somewhat exceptional pair—both being workers, both being accustomed to think and to exchange views frankly—they looked into each other’s eyes on the fifth day of their new life and said “Why?" Or rather, Janet said it. Walt simply grinned it, understandingly. Men if you notice, are usually more conventional than women, “Now, Waltie, dear,” began Mrs. Walt, setting ocozily on the arm of her husband’s chair. (Good gracious alive! How perfectly funny it seemed to have a husband!) “You're not going to misunderstand or think I'm bored or disillusioned or—or ‘anything tragic if I suggest that we—we go home i pretty soon?” | “Well, madam, I shall at least iry and control my chagrin,” agreed I Walter with mock dignity. “Procesd with your reasons—if you have any."” | “Listen, Walt; I'm really serious about this. I'm afraid! Yes, I'm fl | actually afraid to have a regular, full-sized honeymoon like anybody else’s. [ I wouldn’t risk beginning our life together with a surfeit of each other's company. I wouldn’t risk boredness. If I caught you yawning I'd jump out the window and run for the railway station. If I canght myself sigh- ing I'd run faster yet. “Do you remember the Quintons? moon oodles fessed How they started on their honey- with everything favorable—adored each other, had loads of money, of time, bunches of romantic ideals? And how Bob Quinton con- afterward that they never once spoke to each other on the home- bound railway journey? That they were so completely talked out, so weary of the very sight of each other that they wanted to spend about six months in separate houses in order to get interested again? “Well, I won’t have that happen to us, Walt.”” And Janet gave her spouse a vigorous shake by way of emphasis and questioning, ‘“Certainly not; certainly not, dearest,” rousing himself to fresh won- der at his wife’s good sense. Surely most women never thought of such things. He had braced himself to the conventional idea of two or three whole weeks away from the world, away from his work, activities of his accustomed life. To be sure, these first days had been like the realization of some perfect dream. But Walter Stedman, like the average healthy, busy young man, found more delight In the realization of perfect dreams if lhe.y were not too prolonged. But before he could reply Janet went n: “I suppose honeymoons have grown out of a sensible idea—to give us a chance to get intimately acquainted without the intrusion of friends, work or the commonplaces of life. But for people like us, 'Walt, whose days are to be full of work outside our home there will be a sort of continuous honeymoon. Just coming home at night, getting away from the press of the world, will make each of us a very haven of rest and companionship for the other. ‘We must keep our comradeship fresh and interesting jus‘l because we shall need it too much later on. Why, dear, we shall want to make our home coming a wonderful daily adventure. ~We don’t want to get to know each other too thoroughly now. For we shall have long, delightful evenings together to talk in and tell each other about the day's’ happenings and ambitions and plans and things. “Home is going to be a sweet, dear refuge to us two workaday folks. We sha'n’t depend as much as other people do on outside things lfke the- aters and parties and jaunts. We shall just want each other and a few friends like the Temples. Something tells me, friend husband,” grinned Janet, coming around in front of Walter and bending low to look into his face, ‘‘something tells me we’d best be quitting this dangerous honeymoon and get down to practical hustling—finding a home and purch ’ and tablecloths.” ‘‘Heaven-sent haus-frau! Helpmate of my heart!” cried Walt, ing up and waltzing this most unusual wife of his around the “When’s the next train?” his cronies, the asing chairs jump- room.

We were not coming back to the house at all. Dicky's mother had at last sulkily agreed to go to a New York hotel. She was feeling unusually well, and I knew that she was secretly very glad of the chance to live luxurlously at a metropolitan hostelry for a week. Dicky and I were to stay at the hotel with her the first night and take the Hudson river boat Thursday. Dicky had written engaging a room for us at the farmhouse, of which he had spoken to me.

MAY IRWIN JUST AS GOOD AS EVER It was all May Irwin, the Queen of Laughter, who held forth at the Ly- ceum Saturday night. True she car- ried with her a vehicle of fun, one that bore the appellation “33 Wash- ington Square,” but that is a matter of little interest. The play was writ- ten, it just had to be written, around the genial ‘Miss Irwin, of whom it may be said, “There is no other.” She is just as jovial and jolly today as was, well, say several years ago. For ever since Miss Irwin announced her- self as an ardent supporter of wom- an suffrage she has somewhat grace- fully declined to mention her years, aying, in her off-hand fashion, that a man is as old as he looks, and a woman as old as she feels like be-- ing.” All of which is very truthfully put. And which also accounts for the amount of fun that May Irwin can inject into a thdee hour performance. Back in the olden days, back in the 2o0d old d May Irwin ranked as the leading singer of coon songs in the country. Those who saw the performance Saturday night were treated to some of Miss Irwin’s vocal cfforts and everyone was pleased. Despite the fact that a small audi- ence was present “33 Washington Square” furnished no end of enthusi- Frfom the rise of the curtain until the climax there is not a dull moment in this play. The plot 1is showlng the efforts of a so- clety lady, Mrs. De Puyster, to sup- port a Packard appetite on a Ford income also a colleze bred son who confesses that he is not considered capable of drawing a $1 a week sal- a Traveling Furope Is one of the fashions that Mrs. De Puyster’s set indulged in annually ,but when she is informed that her dividends have been stopped as well as her credit at the bank, consternation overcomes her. Her scheming and plotting 1is indulged in and it is decided that a substitute for Mrs. De Puyster shall make the trip while she will remain in her home for the three months. Her son has a sweetheart who is the daughter of a plumber, to whom he breaks the news of his intoion to wed, much to the discomfiture of his ma- ternal parent. Fe is driven from the house, hut on what he supposes is his mother’s trip abroad lie returns f occupy the palatial residence during her absence. This turn of affairs completely overwhelms Mrs. De Puy- ster, who, fearing heing caught in the deception. decides to take up hoard- ing in a house conducted by Mrs. Gil- bert. TRut the social standing of the place, together with the disposition of Mrs. Gilbert with the actions of Dr. Pyecroft, who turns out to be a thug, forces Mrs. De Puyster and Matilda, her ser- vant (Miss Trwin) to seek sheler back at their former abode. The final act, showing the usual meeting of mother and son, in which the deception is told by Mrs. De Puyster and the rec- onciliation follows. Aldrich Bowker in the role of Wil- liam, a butler, played the part in a highly acceptable manner. Donald Meek in the double role part—Pye- croft-Thomas Presten role, had a d ficult task with plenty of opportunity of overdoing it, which did not occur. Marie Burke as Mrs. Gilbert, Zenaide Williams as Olivette Harmon and Jo- seph Woodburn as Judge Harvey were good.

None can shake such a wealth i of delightful melodies out of his sleeve, and he was in his best mood when he wrote “The Princess Pat,” which John Cort will present with Miss Ruth Welch and a recognized cast from the Cort theater, New York, after its long triumphant run, at the Russwin Lyceum Saturday afternoon and evening. It is not alone the mu- sic, however, that goes to make “The Princess Pat,” so agreeable an offering. ~ The hook and lyrics of Henry Blossom are brilllant and in just keeping with the excellent score. Then there is Ruth Welch and the rest of the clever cast, the ensemble and the stage setting: In the plot Grace Holbrook is going to marry An- i thony Schmalz, an old duffer with a [ lot of money. This to save her uncle from bankruptcy. Schmalz’s scrape- goat son, Tony, with his new found, sort of adventurer friend, Bob Dar- row, appears on the scene and falls in love with Grace. Old Schmalz is rather a gay person and becomes infatuateds with the Princess di Mon- taldo, wife of an Italian nobleman when she is on a visit to Grace. The Prince has been neglecting his wi and she concludes, with Darrow’s as- sistance, to teach hoth her husband and Schmalz a lesson, Princess Pat enters into a wild flirtation with old Schmalz, driving her husband nearly wild with jealousy, and Grace suc- ceeds in getting rid of Schmalz in the posure which naturally follows; elopes with Tony apd is married while the other couples are reconciled. It all serves to bring about many amus- ing complications and gives Mr. Her- bert ample opoprtunity to compose better music than he has written in some time. The cast will include Effie Toye, William Dawson, Carl Stoll, Frank Rose, George O’Donnell, Raymond Ellis, Tots Harks, Ethel Dennison and Ben Hendricks.
