PAULINE FREDERICK AT KEENEY'S THEATER Pauline Frederick, one of would grace any role that she was giv- en to perform, but in “The Love that Lives” she has been accorded a ve- hicle which allows her to display the | full splendid scope of her remarkable | talent.

It would seem on first thought 1 that the role of a scrubwoman held | few if any possibilities, yet Pauline Frederick has imparted to sucha role all the charm and pathos and infinite understanding of which she alone is capable and Molly, the office drudge as portrayed by Mi a character that lovable, standable and charming.

We believe that the people of this country will be glad to do their part to conserve the sugar supply when they know the facts. These facts are as follows: More than two-thirds of the source of Europe:s sugar supply is within the present battle lines. This has resulted in greatly reducing the production of sugar in Europe. England and France and other countries have been forced to go for sugar to Cuba. Ordinarily, nearly all of the Cuban raw sugar comes to the United States and is refined here, chiefly for home use. This is not the case now. In view of the exceptional world demand for sugar there is no surplus, and barely enough to tide us over until the new crop comes in. The people of the New England and Atlantic Coast States should use sugar sparingly. No one should hoard or waste it. This Company has npo surplus sugar to sell. It is working with the Government to conserve the supply, and to take care of the Allies so far as possible. Do not pay an increased retail price.

One does not have to go on camping par- ties to nieet them. They are the women who can never take advantage of a jewel day for a long walk or a spin into the country because the, planned to do some household task. They are the women who have not time to be comrades for their hus- bands because they are so occupied with the supreme importance of be- ing better housewives than their neighbors. And then they break their hearts if their husbands make comrades of someone else. The ability to let things go times is a fine art, and one worth acquiring.
