People Are Reluctant.

People Are reluctant.
Many are reluctant to take advantage
of the medical care freely offered on
all sides, but there is also a class of
professional malignerers against whom
physicians have to be continually on
their guard. mild and after all very
natural form of this imposition is a re-
luctance to take q convalescent child
out of the hospital. Not infrequently
the parents reach the conclusions that
the bay is we'll off where he is and
pay no attention to the notice that he
is recovered and ready to return home
While a hospital is the best place for
those seriously ILL., it is not good place
for convalescent children. OF late years
quite a number Of institutions, half
homes and half-hospitals have been es-
tablshed In the vicinity of New York and
these country places are utilized to their
full capacity during the summer At Sea
Cliff OH Long Island, for example, over
looking Hampstead Harbor and the Sound,
there is a convalescent home for chill
dren. 1t contains thirty-five beds, twenty
of which are filled by convaescents from
the East Side who have been treated at
the Post Graduate. A novel institution is
maintained by st. Johns Guild in the
shape of floating home on ory land at
New Dory on State Island. One of the
largest institutions of all has been es-
tablished at Coney Island in the midst Of
ri the varied attractions of Luna Park
and Dreamland.
Perhaps, however, the most interesting
attempt to give healthy surroundings to
the children of the poor is the work OF
the Speedwel Society at Morristown.
Here the babies-for they are nothing
more-are not cared for in any one in
stitution, but are placed In various homes
In the vicinity. The society is directly
connected with the POSTGRADUATE school.
one of the faculty being at it's head. and
the children are visited regularly by ply
seans and nurses from the hospital.
Morristown has been found a peculiarly
advantageous place for this work as
the large wealthy colony established
there for several years has brought
with 1t numerous train of de-
pendents. Most Of these are quite willing
to add to their incomes the money they
receive for caring for their young charges,
and in the great majority of cases they
have been found well able to fulfil their
part of the contract.

Women to Elevate the Stage.

The Chicago Woman's club believes the way to re-
form the stage is to reform it.
This club has started a movement for the opening
of independent theater in Chicago where stock
pany will produce dramas of good moral tone
The theater is to be supported by subscription and
subscribers to be represented by board of directors
whose duty will be to bar any play that does not reach
the standard of morals
The club is composed of thousands of representative
women and there is no doubt it can handsomely support
theater.

matter.
The movement a reminder of the fact that
reform of the theater must from those in front Of
the fooghts The stage it is is largely what its pat
rons have made it.
In this country the theater is purely commercial
enterprise. We have subsidized play houses And
the theates managed not for arts sake but for
ey's sake
Managers cater to the public taste. They ggve the
public what it demands.
And so also Of actors and actresses.
With exceptions, the ambition of the actor is
not to make his generation happier and BETTER to min
lister to truth and beauty in such way to guide the
spiritual life of the people. His ambition is to make

sacrifice of the best traditions of the stage.
1t is not much that the stage is immoral. 1t is
not, the average, immoral. But it is not moral Do
you get the distinction?
The of Chicago realize all this. They are
acute and friendly critics of present day tendencies. In
their effort they deserve well.

of tales, says Hugh Fullerton in
recent story of the big league. The
following Is one of his stories on
our old friend, Treadway, who
played ball in Spokane and all over
the coast. The story starts with
Tim back in '95.
1t was soon after Fielder Jones,
now the manager of the Chicago
White Stockings, Joined the Brook
'lyn team. Treadway was playing
center field for Brooklyn then and
young Jones was sitting on the
bench. Chicago was playing the
Brooklyn team down on the old
Eastern park grounds and the late
and much lamented Tim Donohue
was the catcher.
Early In the game Treadway
made vicious kick on one of
Hurst's decisions, and Hurst merely
bided his time and bowed his legs
a bit more. When Tim bowed his
legs it is the danger signal. The
game was close, and in the eighth
