pours down day in and day out, and
we know nothing of the fogs of Lon

Every day is like those dear soft days
which Washington enjoys during October
or carly May. We wear our tailored jack

merely as precautions. never as a neces-

reason why the average man thinks that
the life OF the aviator must be one con-
slant succession of pleasant and exhilar-
ating experiences.
Smooth sailing is, indeed. the usual lot
of the aviator whose speciality is work
at no very great height from the ground.
Here the air is fairly constant in its vol
ume and density, and with good wealth.

us who make a specially of climbing for
altitude
Air conditions 800 feet from the earth
are vastly different from those 1900
feet up. The lower layers of the
atmosphere are enticngly smooth and
easy to sail upon and offer none OF
the unpleasant surprises which we get
as We go higher and higher. There is
nothing in the first 800 or 1000 feet to
look out for except the vagaries of the
wind, and these can usually be pretty

%N these days when we women begin
getting dinner for the family we
find ourselves brought into active
II and perhaps unexpected competition
with the experts a la eat, and are
required to meet in single combat. armed
only with a large pine rolling pin, the
foreign born and frsky chef and the
vainglorious specialist de cuisine.
1t was not always thus
When grandmother got dinner for
grandfather she was simply situated and
surrounded with domesticity, fresh, home
grown cabbages. butter that the cows
out In the east meadow were responsible
for. and eggs that self-respecting hen
might acknowledge as her own.
Even when mother saw about father )
meals the old home was still set In the
center of strawberry beds and asparagus
bushes and the board was crowned with
the sweet garden flowers Of an uninter-
rupted home life.
When grandma did the cooking grand
pa had to eat what she set before him
or go hungry. He couldn't just take a
sniff at things. rise hastily from the ia BILE
and rush around the corner to the restau-
rant.
And he wanted to eat what she set be-
fore him, too, believe me, or anything
else he could get his hands on. That
was the time when that estimable citi-
zen went out In the early morning on the
farm. marched for several hours between
the high-set handles Of a deep-sea-going
plow. split hard wood rails with an AK

Now, while / am forced to admit that
we buy more things from the delicates'-
sen store than grandma did, yet ! am
far from certain that we buy any more
than that eminently sensible woman
would have bought il she had had the
chance.
Let me impress it carefully upon your
mind that grandma and the delicateSsen
store may have been strangers more from
necessity than choice.
And when you take time to consider
the number Of bushels Of money required
to purchase any given number CT pecks
of apples; when YOU think quietly and
with your eyes shut Of the weird and
wonderful saccharine situation; when
you view with an unprejudiced mind the
embattled ranks of wholesalers and re-
tail merchants who stand haughtily at
bay and say that we shall not have
things to eat in the raw unless We sur
render the rent money. the amount due
for the gas bill and what We had saved

diamond ring for a birthday present.
maybe we will seem more reasonable
and less deserving of severe recrimina-
ton when We drop our large but empty
market baskets, send over to the bakery
for half pound of Geld boiled ham and
a near-cherry pie and let the problem
of how to keep house like grandmother
slip over into the dimness of the irrevo-
cable whence.
Then. again, before faying us descend
ants of grandma for being an unskillful
and bakery-fed generation. you should
recall the fact that we no longer dare to
confine ourselves to being bakers unless
we take the thing up from professional
point Of view
The spirit of the times no longer con-
siders that when We have made a batch
of blackberry pies, fourteen loaves Of
salt-rising bread and sufficient fruit
cookies to fill the two-gal!on crock that
we have thereby fulfilled our entire duty
to our husbands.
1t used to be that our duty to our hus-
bands was of this single simple and un-
complicated brand and was easy of fulfill
ment But not today-ah. no!

5 HIGH CLASS
ACTS ON BILL
Excellent Show at Proct0r's
Theatre This Week.

Five high class acts and a series
of very fine motion pictures offered
at Proctor's theatre for the first
three days of the present week were
greatly appreciated by an enthusi-
astfe audience.
The Ave De VOLTS top the bill
in a musical skit entitled, The
Fresh Air Fund" The singing,
dancing and costuming of this act
is way above the average. Too much
cannot be said in praise of little
Miss De Wolff, who walks away with
the honors and that Is going some,
for the balance of the company are
exceptionally clever.
Usually wire walking acts get
tiresome, but George Il. Austin &
Company have got the right idea.
They Introduce a lot of good comedy
that is new and original, especially
the hat gag. The comedy makeup
of the lady in the company got a big
laugh. Mr.. Austin does some clever
stunts on the wire, and all in all,
the act Is thoroughly appreciated.
La Petite Valerie Laguian, q
~Parisenne, with a delightful person
atty, some oorking good songs, es-
pecially the French Song" and a
lot of beautiful dresses greatly
pleased. This little lady gets over
her songs with the chic m~annerisms
of the French Music Hall artist,
which is decidedly different from the
usual staid American way of deliv-
erfng.
Muller and Muller, two young
men with exceptionally beautiful
voices, sang a number of the latest
songs and made a big hit. The
Rosary was especially good, but
"Dafy Dill Rag" and In @The Twi-
Twilight" got "a tremendous hand.
The comedy sketch, "Oh, Doctor
with Milo, Belden and Co., was very
good. Their idea is unique. The
scene opens disclosing the two young
fellows in bed. They put up a
scheme to get some money from one
of the young mems sister by pre-
tending to be Ill. and the other the
doctor. The comical situations
when the sister finally arrives kept
the house in an uproar of laughter.
1t is q clever comedy, acted BY clever
people.
The baseball returns we're shown
on the picture curtain and created
a lot of interest.

It is no part of our public duty, as we have said, to defend self-capable class.
 but we do conceive 1t to be an obligation to say to as many readers of MT. Town send Martins indictment as we can reach that his picture Is a lie. There was never a time when the members of what he calls
 "society" gave so much of their thought. their work. and their money to real so- ciety as they give today. True, they do not sit in their corners like Pharisaical dolls. They may not even read the Bible as much as they should. They neither regard themselves as things apart nor fear contamination. As active working members of associations for the amelior- ation of poverty and distress they give more than money; they give their com passionate interest. their fellow sym pathy. They do not hire others to go out into the great city's byways and A6dses; they go themselves. and stand shoulder to shoulder with working girls in the everlasting fight against tyranny.
 With their money they employ lawyers and wage and win the battles of the weak and defenseless They combine and strive without ceasins for legislation to protect hepless animals from needless torture. They join the great crusade in behalf of their sex and stand bravelY for their faith on public stages and In pubic squares. They fight the nohlest of fghts for little children. forming great
