Her Side---and His How Cora and David Temple Solved Their Marital Problems By ZOE BECKLEY What Is a Woman’s Business? N . “I can’t understand it, Janet It seems folly to me. Men’s business & to take care of their wives and .women's business is to take care of the ome. X The speaker was Beth Woodford, a cousin of the Temples, and, through them, a more or less intimate acquaintance of the Stedmans. One never somehow thought of Mrs. Woodford as “an intimate friend.” She in- tended; ber caustic criticisms to be friendly. They were invariably de- signed for some one’s “good” But they always left her victim ruffled discouraged or angry, according to her disposition. “You might as well say,” replied Janet, holding her , resentment in leash, “that men’s work is hunting and fishing and fighting. It used to be. But civilization has given men other things to do—things that used to be ggr_}fi by women.. Why should women not reach out after new things to “Oh, that kind of talk always bores me!” said Beth. “Here you are, tolling as David Temple's secretary, coming home tired at night, never haying time to enjoy your home, not taking time to think out and buy pretty clothes. Never anything but work, work, work! You'd be a great deal better off lie Cora Temple—with a house and a baby.” “Cora Temple’s husband has ten thousand a year. Mine has barely twenty-five hundred,” said Janet. “I see no reason why we should live on Walter’s salary when, by doing work I like and am fitted for, we can have more than twice that to live upon.” “You could keep a very nice little home on twenty-five hundred,” re- plied Mrs. Woodford, whose husband’s law practice netted him that much a month. Plenty of couples who make quite a showing live on twenty-five hundred.” 4 “Yes—and how the wife has to work in order to keep down expensos! talk about being tired-~there's nothing like housework inside four wa! v make you tired. Because it not only tires your body but your soul. (M don’t talk to me, Betl about-a ‘man’s work’ and a ‘woman’s work.” Who's to say which is which? Do T inherit only the household talents of my mother? Don't T also inherit the business mind of my father? Suppgse I had been born a hoy instead of a girl, would that have guaranteed that I would have been a good engineer? No—a boy might he like his mother and love beautiful things and fine clothes and poetry and music. But it wouldn’t be ‘man’s work’ to follow dressmaking or writing poetry. And so thousands of boys have to be sent into trades they hate and aren’t fitted for. And thousands of girls have to he kept at housework and sew- ing when they could be architects and lawyers and doctors and business women. Look around you, Beth, and see what successes women are mak- ing in the world—doing things they like to do, useful, splendid, develop- ing things!” Beth Woodford sniffed. “‘Oh, yes, I see them, Janet—discontented, masculine creatures, not knowing that they really long for husbands and bables and care. Bvervthing’s at sixes and sevens nowadays.” “You mistake upheaval for discontent,” Janet retorted. “You think the ‘sixes and sevens' are signs of catastrophe when they are only proofs of progress. We have to tear down in order to build up.” “I should think you'd long for a little social life and—and, a baby or two like Cora Temple. That is a woman’s business -‘But not necessarily that alone,” persisted Janet, refraining pointing out Beth’s own childlessness. “In good time that, too, may my business.’” i “You can’t do both,” snapped Beth. Janet smiled. “Can’t 1?” she said, and changed the subject. “SPORTING WIDOWS” - THE SEASON'S HIT maybe, from sessed with ability to sing, ticns of “My Queen “Omar Khyam” and ‘“Dangerous Girl,” going big.

Come- dians who are funny, songs that are new, handled by eniertainers who know how tec harmonize and pretty girls, coupled with handsome cos- tumes, are some of the bright fea- tures that go to make up-an attrac- t%on that should ‘prove to be a big success before the end of the week. Seldom is a burlesque fitted out’ with so many features that insure suc- sess. Termed a musical hodge-podge Jacobs and Jermon, the managers, it would seem as if musical extrava- ganza was more appropriate. One of the features appreciated by last night's attendants at the show, was the introduction of a number of .ausical hits, new to Hartford and suburban patrons, The comedy roles are in the hands of Harry Cooper, Leo Hayes and Abe Leavitt, and it is a close race between the trio to determine who is the win- ner.

The Lyceum Players chose as their introductory number, “The Time, the Place, and the Girl,” an old-time favorite which enabled them to interpolate new lines and situations any many songs of the day, although the old favorites of that musical comedy have not been aban- doned entirely. While the audience was small, it was appreciative, nevertheless, and nearly all of the singers were forced to respond to encores. The play proved that the cast can sing and dance and while the score was not strictly adhered to the musical num- bers made a hit. Among the favorites of “The Time, the Place and the Girl,” several other songs were interspersed with good effect, Miss Georgla Campbell, prima donna, is to be congratulated on the manner in which she handled her lines and her songs, As a winlome nurse Miss Campbell is the 4hub around which the play turns. t is e throw himself off a moving trolley car nd get a broken arm just so Miss Campbell might nurse him. “Auf properly belongs to an- other popular musical comedy but it lost none of ils sweetness sung by Miss Campbell in the Lyceum entertainment. “Blow the Smoke Away,” sung by William Meehan, set lots of folks in the audience to dreaming. It was effectively rendered and assistance was given by the beauty chorus and a male quartet. “The Waning Honeymoon,” by Miss Campbell, also was well re- ceived. It was while she was singing this number that the audience realized beyond doubt that the company has a prima donna whose voice bids fair to make New Britain her residence for a long period, Miss Leona Courtney, a mere slip of success of the opening night. Miss Courtney is a versatile young woman and her accomplishments are numer- As a singer or dancer she is | ally at home.

Comedy has an important part in this week’s photoplay program. The fun is started by no less a personage | than Charlie Chaplin, who Is appear- ing in his latest success, ‘‘Behind the Scenes,” and he is continued by number of comedy stars of the film world. The Chaplin attraction is to be kept for the entire week. It is the biggest fun-maker in which the eccentric little fellow has been seen and the audience fairly howls with delight over it.

What is there wrong in their doing this? Nothing. The wrong consists in that each feels that she has been generous. How were they any more generous than if each went out and hought what she wanted?
