Fine Feathers AT Lexington Opera House.

1t is so seldom that playgoers outside
of Broadway have an opportunity to
see a genuine original cast of stars.

"Fine Feathers" is from the pen of
Eugene Walter, author of such big sue
cesses as Paid in Full'', The Ia lest
Way. The Wolff and THE Trail of
the Lonesome Pine, and critics have
pronounced his newest effort to be al
so his best. He has written big play
dealing with familiar conditions in The
home and the world of business, and
his characters are easily recognized
types of men and women. He mas
written a number of big, vital parts,
with these stars in view, and every
line and scene is given full value. 1t
is liberal education in dramatic are to
see these masters of the acting art
playing together. This is the first
instance of an all star cast being sent
on the road intact, and those familiar
with matters theatrical can imagine
the perfect performance resulting from
these players appearing in the tremen-
dous scenes and overwhelming climaXas
provided by Eugene Walters brilliant
pen.
Only few of the more important
cities are to see the original production
of Fine Feathers. and this is one of
them.

What a Child Needs Most.

II is not, after all, smattering Of
chemistry or an acquaintance with the
habits of bees which will carry our
children through life. but a capacity
for doing what they do not want to do,
if it lie thing which needs to be
done. They will have to do many
things they do not want to do later on,
if their lives are going to be worth
the living. and the sooner they learn
to stand to their guns the better for
them and for all these whose welfare
will be in their hhnds.-Agnes Repplier

The W0mans Club
Edited By The womans Club

o001~P<PR>S
The formation of all kinds of club is
due, not only to the social instinct which
draws people together. but also to the
growing recognition o. the increase OF
power that comes with cooperation.
We are just beginning to see wi at
great things can be done by working
together instead of working eparately
We hope in the near future to grasp
this fact clearly and work out its full
possibilities.
To combine energies, to make COM
mon capital of Individual knowledge,
experience and talent, is to deepen and
widen our efficiency.
No club can do its best work if it is
content simply to amuse and entertain
its members, no organization will mold
together if its m ethods are purely sell
fish.
1t is a hopeful sign that club women
are becoming more and more responsive
to the spirit of the age whichis service
for others. Our own Woman's Club
feels it is part of great social SER
vice movement.
The fundamental purpose of the club
is not self improvement, though, of
course, the literary department is
primarily intended for that purpose.
During the past year wherever OppOr-
tunities have presented themselves we
have done what we could to encourage
thought along progressive lines, and to
create a sentiment for town beauti-
full. We have tried to do our commun-
ity a service in the way of enlightment
by bringing before it in the past year
such lecturers as DR.. Carpenter and
DIR. Locke, this year We are to have
DIR, Lillian South, State Bacteriologist
and Mrs. Roark of the Richmond Nor
NAL School, together with others who
will speak upon subjects vital to all.
Our last meeting was an enjoyable
musical conducted by Misses Gill, Nc
Roberts and Daniels. The subject for
our next meeting will be School I'm
provement, with such subjects as,
The School as Moral Force. Nor
al value of music. art and literature in
schools. Misses Hendren, Dean and
Smith will have charge of the meeting
and all interested persons are cordially
invited.
We will tell of our Library in another

Testinq the iron.

The ldundress puts little saliva on
the flatirOn to see if it is hot enough.
If it runs along the iron rapidly it is
hot enough, but if it sticks to the bot
tom and is evaporated the iron is too
cold. The reason is that if hot enough
the bottom of the drop of saliva is con-
yerted into vapor and the drop rolls
along the iron rapidly; if too cold the
drop sticks apd evaporates gradually.
