She was more F icular about emphasizing the Stranz part than the Crafton part. The Strangs, she soon mentioned to Janet, were the old New York Strangs. Mrs. Sted- man knew the family, of course, Everybody from New York knew the Strangs, who had that wonderfully beautiful old house at the corner of University place.

Doesn’t he— wouldn’'t he—like to have you go sometimes “He’s always imploring me to go,” answered Dorothea, who had been born a Strang of the New York Strangs.

They announce that any resident of this community can go to almost any drug store and get a com- { plimentary trial can at the | expense of the manufacturers. | If the druggist has no gratuitous packages, the person may buy a 25 cent tube with the unqualified understanding that if that first tube does not do that person more than a dollar’s worth of good, he or she can get their quarter back from either the druggist, or the Kondon Com- pany at Minneapolis. Over 35,000 druggists know Kondon’s Catarrhal illy is effective, harmless, clean and pleasant to apply—and they know the Kondon people will gladly live up to this offer — “quarter back if not worth a dollar.” Addrass— {ONDON'S CATARRHAL JELLY.

A Cruel Of all the nonsense that is written and talked about the failure of the woman of today to measure up to her grandmother’s standard, nothing ir- ritates me more than the trick of criticizing individual women because they have few or no children. In the first place, take the idea that the greatest thing the woman can do for the world is to add as largely as possible to its population. Ac- cording to that the millennium will be the day when the world is so crowded with people that food will be scarce and existence difficult. Again, have you any right to blame any given woman because she doesn’t have so many children as her grand- mother or even because she has none at all? The Man May Not Care For Children. Not by a good deal.. The woman may be just as anxious to have chil- dren as you are to see her have them, and it may be that her husband does not want them. We hear so much said about the women who refuse to have children because they want to have a good time and don’t want to be tied down. For every such wife there is at least one husband who doesn’t want to face Injustice three or four instead of between two. She May Hate Her Quict House. Besides, many women who want children cannot have them for one reason or another. Many a woman is criticized for not wanting chil- dren when she is eating her heart out because her home is orderly and si- lent instead of being untidy with the blessed litter of childhood and noisy with the pleasant din of children’s voices and laughter. The Cause is the Substitute. Another absurd injustice or the cause or the amusement with which women thus deprived fill up their time for their childlessness. That is con- fusing cause and result. In the ma- jority of cases the woman is merely trying to find a substitute for what | she has missed, instead of choosing | those things in preference to mother- hood. What would her critics have the childless woman do? Sit at home and twirl her thumb?. Of course, the childless woman can- not go about explaining to her neigh- bors exactly why she has no children. She cannot justify herself. Which is all the more reason why people who cannot possibly know the ins and outs of the matter should refrain from the self-denial that will be necessary if he has to divide his income among criticizing her. i gy mi house?

Indeed, yes! It is hy f the best attempt this company has made: by far the best offering of the season. Nor is Walter Wills the whole show. Ah, no! There is the charm- ing leading lady, Miss Georgia Camp- bell, who as “The Red Widow,” leaves nothing to be desired. And then there is that wonderful singer, George Bog- ues, whose voice is one of the big drawing-cards of the company. He and ) ¥n Smith are the happy pair on the stage when Miss Campbell makes her entrance in the first act. The song that follows when these three harmonize, “When Woman Is the Question,” is alone worth the price of on. Aside from Miss Campbell the week in the other songs thal sings, not only ‘“The Song of Songs.” there is the dancing of little Miss Leona Courtney. Her nimble feet add mightily to the even- ing’s entertainment. With Lee Daly she sings a few songs that are well received. “We Will Go, Go to Go Go” is one of their ducts that calls for many encora: These two figure in another song hit, “You Can’t Pay the T.andlord With Love.” Miss Camp- bell and Mr. Bogues sin a duet that is well worth while, “I Love Love,” which calls for many encore; Others who figure in the st are Belle Flower, William Meehan, an S.
