Value of Marriage.

But let me tell you one thing, 3"
continued Mrs. Barr earnestly, the
matinee girl has no future unless
some good man makes her fall in
love with him and makes her marry
him. The home girl is the only one
that is worth while, and the girl who
doesn't marry if she gets the right
chance is a fool. Only that way
lies happiness. And by the right
chance l don't mean money and au-
tomobiles and the chance to be idle.
A salary of $500, $1,000 or even
$1,000 a year is enough, and more
than enough for any young couple
to live happily on. I don't care who
they are.
"A girl has no business to go
trapesing off to an Office or a store
unless it is a matter of sheer bread
and butter. She has no business try

Caught in the Rain. "

The topic OF farce comedy in Washing
ton lately has been d sore point. for a
very good reason. somewhat similar 10
the cause for the popular sentiment en-
gendered recently in the direction of the
Fitch play. The one and the other. how
ever, redeemed their characters last week.
and, although Caught In the Rain" is
an old friend, many waited until last
week to make the acquaintance Of one OF
the very best native farce comedies We
have seen in many a day.
The play is distinctly American in
theme. with good. wholesome characters

situations comprehended by the native
intellect And above all, it was played
by A most excellent company Of competent
actors and actresses. who delivered their
lines and sprung their witticisms with con-
vincing force.
The genius Of comedy must have rocked
William Collier in his cradle-at least. the
genius Of American comedy-for he is
typical Of that and perhaps we OF all
nationalities have a penchant for crisp.

stage possesses a number OF men who
spend their time in playing comedy and
who reach an honorable height in their

little different from the kind that catches
on in the United States. yet a complete
emancipation from slap-stick methods and
rough and tumble antics is the greatest
charm
These men all have their serious mo-
ments and they can be convincing. too. but
we most prefer them in that rare quality
OF being able to appeal to our sense Of
