Einns M Work

The modern monarch has as much
work of a purely business-like char
acter to do that for the most part he
finds Il necessary to adopt strictly
business methods, regarding himself,
so to speak, as the head of a great
commercial concern.
Probably the most energetic and
business-like of the European rulers
is William of Germany. 1t has been
said that the Kaiser is In his Office
busily attacking affairs of state when
most Of the other sovereigns are still
abed-that is 10 say, he is hard at
work by 6 o'clock in the morning.
William long ago found that such
early habits on his part were neces-
sary If he was to accomplish his task
successfully. Besides signing In
Vulnerable documents, every one OF
which he reads himself, the Kaiser
holds many conferences with his min
listers and chiefs of departments. II
is said that the Emperor either writes
or dictates about fifty letters a day

DRAMATICS At
PLAYGROUND
Future Leading Men and
Stars" Entertained With
a Varied Program

A clever dramatic entertainment was
given by the little girls of the Mum
dy playground, at Third and French
streets, on Saturday afternoon. TIE
children had prepared costumes, set
ting and dialogue, and Miss Elizabeth
II. Talley, in whose honor the play
was given, and few grown-up friends
were invited guests.
Masters William Davis and Nathan
Golustein, helped with the curtain,
which was much appreciated by the
young ladies', as Il was some work to
Irvine that sheet over the line so that
it did not obscure the stage. The au-
dience was its own orchestra, and
sang heartily between times. The
first act was The Fairy Ball" Misses
Jennie Cole and Marie Schoenhaar. in
purple tissue, as fairies, gave some
pretty dances, and the Fairy Queen,
Miss Bertha Pizer, aged 4, sang Pony
Boy" and Rings on My Fingers" Miss
Bertha was in white and silver Miss
Marion Pier was stage manager.
In act two, Marion Pier and Mary
Esthridge acted two gOssipy old maids
in a summer hotel, while a naughty
summer girl, Eta Pizer. passed" at
intervals, amid encouraging remarks
from the audience. Harry Pizer, aged
2. also occupied the stage whenever he
though it was suitable, and very cum
ming he looked.
Act three was a western scene, evil
IDENTIFY taken from seeing the moving
pictures. Eta Pizer was a pretty
Indian maid, Mary Esthridge was a
cowboy, and Marion Pizer a young
lady from New York. The cowboy in
formed the New Yorker that western
ers didn't take to ladies who smoked
cigarettes, and the New Yorker said
he was slow.
The play closed with popular songs
by all the characters and the singing
of Wilmington, my Wilmington" by
all present.
The Mundy boys are very proud of
new football, the gift of Miss Tai
ley.
The boys are practicing at football,
and the girls are hoping that some
winter arrangement can be made for
them. Miss Talley said that on the
recent boat trip which the girls took
to Philadelphia, many passengers
crowded around to watch the play
ground games. which they played on
deck. Several asked what children
they were, and hearing they were
Wilmington playground children, said
Wilmington certainly had some bright
and imaginative children.
