MaAy wise mothers think that the
theater should be reserved for adult life.
They regard it as a stimulant and to be
unnecessary for the growing mind. It
may be compared TO those drugs which
relieve headache by affecting the heart.
Still the mother who would make of
her girl "a woman holy and wise will
not exclude the theater. But outside of
some special representations of Shake
speare she will select only simple plays.
such as RIP Van Wrinkle" ''Sweet Law

deep passions Of life are not exhibited,
where the sinful follies of youth are not
presented for sympathy and for commits.

There is one other class Of plays which
she may some time allow for the same
reason that she cheerfully provides ro-

fashioned ~melodrama in which the hero
is triumphant. the villain is brought to
justice and al comes out right in the
end. Such a treat is like the ''frolics"

Cradles Hundreds Of Years Ago.

In manuscripts Of the ninth and tenth
centuries We had pictures Of cradles
formed Of part of a tree trunk dug out,
with holes bored through the sides for
the passage Of straps intended to tie the
baby down in his bed. These dug out era
dies are still common in modern Greece
When we come TO consult the manu-
scripts and bas-reliefs Of the fifteenth
century, we notice that the cradles are
no longer mere baskets or beds on rock
aes, but little swinging beds suspended
bstween two pillars, the prototype of this
modern b~ercelonnette. -Harper's Bazaar

The next sketch shows q three-uuar-

tightly in the back so as to form deep

may be made of the same material as
the cloak-which here is of the fleecy

velvet or MORE. 1t is sewed on full
to make 1T flare at the shoulders and is
trimmed with otter. The mock band is
also otter, which stands up about the
neck and chin in the regulation style.
These things are rich and costly in ap-
pearance, yet the economical woman
can get the effect at slight expense by
making her outside garment of two
materials. A close bodice, double or
single breasted, with several full cir
cular skirts flaring at the bottom, and
very obstreperOus collarette may be
manufactured of remnants, rich in
themselves, but inexpensive. The big
sleeves, the collarette and one of the
skirts may be of material different
from that of the body, and style and
economy both be satisfied. Broad
shoulders, wide hips, and clear con-
sclence-all these and even a depleted
purse could not make YOU unhappy.

Young LanJan, the midshipman

the Admiral to the boy.

Another workman in BROOKLYN

horse was tearing up the street with
wagon behind him. but no driver.
Directly in his track was baby car

nurse who had been wheeling the
carriage across the street had been
frightened by the outcries OF bystand-

to the sidewalk.
The workman did not hesitate.
