ForN many years her parents

shortly afterward the mother was

Quanan grew to be a sturdy boy

Home And Motherhood Discovered AS New
Theme In 1911 Drama, Says Grace Shelley

NEW YORK. March l7.-women
certainly received their fair share OF
attention In this dramatic season Just
now drawing 10 n close. Home and
motherhood were the popular themes
and though some OF the playwrights
may have had peculiar fancies regard
Ing these two wonderful things, their
plays caught the public fancy.
The New theater topped II all or

OF the play
And just a few days before that
Ethel Barrymore appeared in a re-
vival of "Alice-Sit-by-the-Fire," In
which she says to her husband, when
he suggests that he will lock up the
house for the night:
You lock up the house? Why, a
man doesn't know what locking up
means. Locking up is going around
from room TO room In the house, TO
the bedside OF each one OF your chill
dren and standing over them and
dreaming OF their futures and praying
for their welfare"
And, earlier in the season, there
was Robert Davis play, The Fam

which, as soon as IL left this city,
sprang into public favor. This play
showed how homes don't stick to-
gether OF themselves and that the

STRIPES
Arg IN Great
YoSu3
BY MRS. KINGSLEY.

From the hat to the boots, includ-
ing all types of dresses and their ac-
cessories, the fact that stripes are
paramount is indisputable.
1t is a season when this favorite
weave is fashionable. and tall women
are made taller, short women are sub
jected to the frightening process
in appearance, at least=and by the
stripes shoulders can be broadened,
waists heightened, and yet there is
no unpleasant zebra effect" in the
dress
Since stripes are the favorite pat
terms, the makers in Paris have
studied them and have turned them
to good use for women.
Probably the black-and-w white eff
fects are the most noticeable in fab
ricks for suits or silk dresses. In
tweeds the stripes are not decided,
and this new weave is much more
satisfactory for tailored suits. Serges
with pin stripes are emphasized in
the openings or many of the Paris
couturiers. The white serge suit,
with a fine stripe in either black or
blue, is frequently trimmed with
satin to match the color. 1t is one
of the fabrics for dressy spring suits
or for cool summer days, and recon-
mends itself to buyers from this fact,
that it can be continued into the next
season.
With black-and-white striped ma
terial there is now used by the lead
ing modistes a touch of cerise. The
vogue for this is very decided, and
on hats. gowns or bags of black and
white this brilliant cherry color is
generally seen.
IN skirts, the stripes will be used
in different ways. A band of the ma
terial emphasizing the horizontal line
will be adjusted at the deep hem.
The stripes on circular skirt will
be cut to meet in a point at the cen
ter seam. Panels using the vertical
lines can be adjusted at the back
When the idea is used with discre-
ton the wearer can not help but
profit. The lines of the figure should
determine the disposition of the
stripes. --

~! maybe the sum of their love is

Would you rather be Mariana or
Gloria? Mariana sits by her window
and means, I'D better be dead. :"
Gloria fights the battles of life and
people reach out their hands to her
because she gives sympathy and does
not demand it.
Life is a battle for most of us. If
you are single you probably look at
your married friends and say, "See
how happy she is. If l had hus-
band and little children I, too, would
be happy" Yet how do you know
that in the life of that married wom-
an there may not be burdens which
exceed any which have fallen on your
shoulders? Then, too, the loss of a
child the loss of a husband. would
leave your married friend bereft, in
deed, and she could not be as well
equipped to take up her fight with
the world as you are.
It is better to go through life Civ
ing sympathy than accepting it. Then
when trouble comes to us we will find
other hearts pouring out their boun-
ty of love and understanding.
Morbid, self-seeking women are a
scourge to their friends. Self-control
is necessity if woman would be
respected. People may listen to
tale of trouble and wonder at the
same time why it is not possible to
keep such things to ones self. There
is a dignity in silence, in bearing
trouble bravely, and she who would
win respect must know that if she
will depend upon herself. work out
her own problems, and say little, she
will be happier than when she throws
the burden of her disappointment or
disillusion upon her friends.

MICH WOULD you b?
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

Perhaps there is nothing which a
woman SO desires throughout her life
as sympathy. We may not be con-
scious of our need of it. yet when we
gain it we are supremacy content. A
sympathetic friend, a sympathetic
1over-what these mean to US!
Yet it often happens that in her
craving for appreciation and under
standing a woman becomes morbid.
She INDUCES in self-pity and is not
happy unless some one is listening to
her tale of woe.
Mariana is one of these girl. 1t is
true she has had an unhappy life.
When she was IA her father died and
since then she has worked for her 1iv-
1ng. Most of the time she has helped
TO support other members of the fam
Ally, her mother and a younger broth
er. Now her mother is dead, the
brother is prosperous and Mariana is
relieved of severe financial respon-
sibility. But Mariana still means
and groans and everybody knows she
has reason to be a little disconsolate
But it does not draw people nearer TO
her to find her always "blue,'' so
she has few friends, and that is the
cause of another grievance. We all
try to pet Mariana and tell how sorry
we are for her. and yet in our heart
of hearts we wish she might pipe one
cheerful note amid the plaintiveness
of her life song.
Gloria, on the other hand, has ev-
cry reason to be depressed. All her
life she has sacrificed herself for 9TH
er people. She was raised in a fam
idy Of old ladies and her matrimonial
chances were spoiled by the inter
ference of aunts and great-aunts and
grandmothers. Gloria is nearly 40
now. and for twenty-five years she
has taken care of her old lady rela-
tions. Yet no one ever hears a COM
plant from Gloria, and this is what
she says about it: 1T seemed to
me that my burdens were so many
that 1 should have to talk about them
all the time. so I went to my old pas
