Which meant that the audacious
soul Of Mr.. Devine was humbled. but
not crushed.
He had tried to demonstrate to Mr..
Hewington that his estimate Of Cherub
Devine as one Of the socially unfit was
a mistaken judgment. But evidently
he had demonstrated nothing of the
kind. The Hewingtons had given him
no chance to show what he could do
in that line. Well. should he quit
then? Mr.. Devine allowed himself to
smile grimly. Almost any one in Wall
street could have told you what that
meant.

being why Smith Left Home" which
IS holding the boards at the Belasco
theater this week. To say the least,
Mr. Broadhurst deserved all he got as
a result of writing "Why Smith Left
Home" 1t is a laugh-producer good
for all times and all places. Every
character is recognizable and every
situation Is possible. The lines TEEN
pleases the risibilities of any audience.
There are so many serious phases to
modern life that a journey to the Be
lasco would do most anybody good
Ida Lewis, as "cook lady" has the
best opportunity of the women in the
cast. She makes the most of it and
contributes in no small measure to
the laugh making. Helene Sullivan's 8
makeup is irresistihly funny. Florence
oakley as Mrs. John Smith has an un-
satisfactory part She fills the role in
an acceptable manner although she
has portrayed other characters better
in the past. Her big opportunity will
come next week. Grace Gardner as
Mrs. Billetdoux and Adele Harrington
are exceptionally clever and Beth Tay-
lor Is charming in her ingenue way.
OF the men, Rihard Vivian as Gen
eral Billetdoux has the best role, al
though all the others are seen to ad-
vantage. Mr.. Vivian is comedian
of no small ability and therefore
makes his characterization of the war
rior who fears nothing and nobody,
excepting his wife, screamingly funny.
Lewis S. Stone as John Smith has a
more or less colorless role. Charles

Kate Waller Barrett spoke before
the meeting of the Associated Charities
yesterday morning taking for her gen.
eral subject the preservation of the
family. The particular idea current
throughout the address was that moth
ers and children should be kept to-
gether, and that all plans should be
tried, all possible arrangements tested
before separating them. In unmarried
mothers, Mrs. Barrett thinks this sys-
tenn even more important than in 9TH
er cases, for frequently the mother
love which comes when mother and
child are kept together under peace
full surroundings will awaken the de-
termination to live with such straight
forward purpose that she will
strengthen not only her own charac-
ter, but will unconsciously form that
of her child along strong self-reliant
lines.
Mrs. Barrett is one Of the most elo-
quent of women speakers. Her sub
jects are near to her own heart, and

Mrs. Barrett urged the societies
whose business it is to make homes
for these mothers and children to give
attention to the annual report of Miss
Mason of the National Associated
Charities. Miss Mason said that she
had found positions for SS3 women at
cost per capita of $3.93 and that 80
per cent of these women had been
faithful to the positions she had found
for them,
The local association will hold its
annual tag day Saturday May Z, and
will have tags in five different colors,
one of each of the high schools, one
for the general public, and one for

marks, come to feel the same sense
of interest and a lively responsibility
in the matter. She has been an ava
kening force in many of those things
which pertains TO great social prob
lens. Herr remarks yesterday aroused
manifest interest among the hearers
and many of her observations elected
warm applause.
In part she said: "The normal home
is the place for a child, and If he has
not one of his own he should be given
one. 1t is not enough to isolate a
child from unfit parents. If parents
are poisonous to the minds and char
acters of their own children they will
also injure other children. 1t is the
parents who should be isolated"
Speaking of the child of the unmar-
ried mother Mrs. Barrett said:
There is no such thing as an ille-
gitlmate child. Every child comes into
the world pure and honest. Fathers
and mothers should bear the stigma
of illegitimacy, not the innocent
child"
