CRITIC "WROTE UP" WEDDING
His Regular Line Was the Drama and
Customary Style Showed IN
His Work.

In the absence of the regular soci-
ETY. reporter the dramatic critic of the
Daily Doings was detailed to cover a
wedding 'I'll do the best | can" b 3
said, but I feel sure l shall make a
mess of it,
This Is what he turned in-omitti ing
the preliminary remarks about the
size of the house and the delay in be-
ginning the performances:
"Mr. Barker, in the role of the
bridegroom, acted the part in stiff
yet listless manner. He has a good
stage presence, but mars the effect by
a total lack of animation and an al
most inaudible voice. Miss Perkins,
as the bride, was much more effective.
Her costume was bewildering, yet
true to life. If one may venture to
criticize, her effort to overcome her
obvious stage fright was a trife too
evident. She was in good voice, how
ever, and her enunciation was clear
and distinct.
ut must be pointed out that both
Miss Perkins and Mr. Barker were
deficient in their lines, and had to be
prompted almost constantly by the
Rev. Henry Harper, who, as the Off
ciating clergyman, was decidedly the
star of the performance"

Mothers and "Baby Talk"

A kindergarten teacher, in speaking
of the attack made on baby talk" by
one of the Tufts college instructors,
said: "Of course, we all know that
baby talk is poor substitute for the
real language, but we know also that
1t is the result of first effort. 1t will
always exist, and thank heaven for
it! The people who hate it are those
who are too matter-of-fact to be moth
eriy. No mother teaches her baby
baby talk any more than she teaches
1t to crawl and to adopt the Tufts
method. And to curb the lisping pratt.
!, tie of the baby, which is usuallr intel.
ligible to the mother only, would be
like forcing the youngster to >tand
! ewhen 1t can only creep. To mothers
and women who know children the
effort to check baby talk is only an
other Of the questionable steps toward
making children 'grown-ups.'

TURKS ENJOY HORSE RACING
First Event Of tho Kind at ConstantI-
nople Proved Exceedingly
Popular.

An enormous and motley crowd
gathered on the beautiful plain of Veil
Effendi on the shores of the Mar
mora, to witness the first horse races
of the Ottoman metropolis. The day
was magnificent, the weather propi-
tious and the people at the height of
their festive mood. The Moslems
had never seen horse races before.
To them 1t was in every way new
spectacle, and to all it was real
sign of advancing times.
Among the many thousands of spec
tators women predominated. Hours

tending to spend the whole day in gaz-

The ladies' Of the imperial harem
watched the races from their car
riages. The sultan was fatigued and
did not attend and his absence was a
great disappointment to performers
and spectators alike. Many of the

'cially constructed platforms and large
numbers of the most elegant elements
of the European quarter also attend

There were six races, and the high

by Lieut.. Djelal Effendi a smart Off
Ger who rode a beautiful Arab horse,
Zip-Zip. There was also a steeple-
chase, in which only two officers par
ticipated, and Rushd1-Bey proved the
winner.
Several deficiencies, such as not
keeping exact time and the inexperi-
ence of the judges, will undoubtedly
be remedied on the next occasion

Manager Charles Carr of the Blues
and few friends were eating lunch in
a grill room one night not long ago,
says the Kansas City Journal, and
while waiting for their orders were
reading the scores Of major league
games which are posted there.
A Jewish bartender. who is a very
enthusiastic baseball fan and likes to
talk when any Of the players are
around, walked up to the table where
the men were seated and said:
Look at the batteries, fellows; all
O'Tooles, Fnnegans, Cheneys and the
rest Of the Irish. Those Irish sure
like to play ball."

FOR A LAW ABOVE PARENTAL
Surgeon Advocates Compulsory Opera
tons for Relief of Deformed
Children.

The question of compulsory opera
tions upon crippled and defective
children, which was decided by Judge
Sulzberger at Philadelphia as entire
ly matter for the discretion OF the
parents, has found a vehement pro
testant in DR.. E. A. Spitzka. The
brain specialist comes forward with
the statement that these operations
should be made compulsory by legis
lative enactment. Doctor SpitzkG
said:
Parents should not be permitted tc
prevent an operation upon child
when that operation was absolutely
necessary for the child's good. If {
conference Of surgeons finds it is pos
sible to correct some physical de
formity by an operation, then no pa
rent should be permitted to step ir
and prevent that child from having
at asst normal chance to compete
with The rest Of mankind.
"Tl good Of the community should
be co. tdered first and laws should
so be lde that the parents mus
be forced to hand over the child fol
an operation at the hands of com
petent experts when it is deemed nee
essary to have an operation"

last night to consider whether or not
the club would continue to promote

the dictates of the pocketbook by

DIG INTO POCKETS.
1t is an acknowledged fact that the
club has been digging into it's pockets
to pay the band, the winners of the
purses and a few other things, such
as advertising. The members of the
club who own horses and have a
chance of getting in on the prize
money, are anxious to keep the club
going, while the men who have no
especial interest except the love of the
sport, are for quitting. They feel that
they have done their share toward
furnishing good sport and that the
public has not aided sufficiently to
warrant further racing programs.

The expense of maintaining a great
collection of wild animals reaches
an amount of money far in excess of
what most people imagine. The diff
Guilty of properly caring for these ami
mails is solved only after years of eX-
perience. There is no feature of a
big circus that represents such a ire
mendous outlay of money or involves
greater risk of loss.
That part of the Barnum and Bailey
circus which is contained within the
four walls of the animal tent is valued
at more than 100000. The first
cost of sending hunting expeditions
into the jungles of Africa, Asia and
South America is small compared with
that which follows when the animals
are secured Men must be employed
