McNutt's lecture.
'sThe White Woman's Burden" de-
fined. and good common sense remedies
suggested, was the current along which
Rev. McNutt carried his hearers, the
majority OF them women, this morn
ing. He has studied the home prob
lems, and out OF the fulness Of exper-
fence, even tho he be q man, thinks the
white woman's burdens are becoming
almost too heavy to bear. chiefly be-
cause she Is working along old and
narrowing lines In this age of inn
provement In almost everything else.
The great burden Is that Of intense in
dividualisnl andS conservatism and in
telligence in feeding the brute" as he
puts II, the problem. He breaches the
doctrine Of cutting out drudgery and
suggested many practical ways in
which this might be done. Mr.. McNutt
also emphasized the deep moral side to
this question and said that the reason
many children went wrong was because
the mother becomes too worn out to be
companion to them. The speaker in
addition, emphasized the terribly close
connection between the kitchen and the
saloon, and the often unrecognlzed

Miss Victoria Linn, reader, good In
the sober, interpretative readings of
the great gems OF literature, Is also
captivating in the lighter and more hu-
morous selections. 1t is needless to say
she delights everyone. Her numbers
are wholly devoid of spectacular, dra-
matte features, earnest conversational
tones, with clear-cut enunciations, dis
tinguishing all her readings. Miss Linn
has avoided the fault of many imper-
senators. She does not overdo, and
was true to nature every time, her UNI
affected manner winning hearty appre-
citation. Miss Linn, as we'll as the
members of the quartet, comes from
Boston. Among her readings yestere
day were Joaquin Miller's poem on
Columbus and "Cver the Mending Bas-
ket," monologue in Irish brogue.
