whether or not these remnants OF
more famous temple still exist In their
places after so many rcnovations IL Is
not possible 10 say. ON this site had
stood from 1876 New York's Aqua
rum. which was devoted in part to
musical performances and entertain
mcnts organized by ANGIE SCuoTT. n
mind reader. Its career as a theatre
was never distinguished, although
some OF its productions were CONNER
clally successful. EDWARD IIARRIGAN
took refuge In the theatre after his
own Theatre Comiquc down OH Broad
way was destroyed by fire. RICHARD
MANSFIELD at one time acted long en-
gagcments there. and his most notable
achievement on this stage was the first
production OF "Arms and the Man."
which was the Introduction Of GEORGE
BERNARD SHAW as playwright to
the public Of this country. Then Il
might lie mentioned for what II Is
worth that ANNA HELD first greeted
the American public from this i'm
partial stage.
Theatres rarely possess nowadays
the same memories for their patrons
TINT they once did. In the first place
there are so many more of them. and
the disappearance Of the stock system
has severed the association between
players and theatre which used to be
such an impulse to affectionate men,
cries. Perhaps 1t is the gradual ap-
proach Of the department store and
the playhouse to one another In their
business methods that has helped to
reconcile the public so easily to the
substitution of one for the other.

The Babies Welfare Association is far

The Babies Welfare Association is far
apart from the New Jersey Justice who
decided ex cathedra that the value Of n
baby was only 81. whether In law or
economics. The newest valuation Is
$4,000. sum which all parents and a
majority Of people with hearts will con-
slider far too low. Those who are
sticklers over figures will be apt to
wonder why this particular one was
adopted when $4,000 has such an even
and pleasant rotundity Of value. But.
without cavilling, all will Join in recog-
nizing the urgency in the economy OF
baby life which the association points
out. 1t Is not the economy Of money
that counts, though 100000 is well
worth saving. even theoretically; the
great thing Is the saving in tears and
heartbreak. the conservation Of hope
and light OF life. And what hope II is
not in the narrow circle alone but in
the widest sense. Any tiny. pickering
spirit that is saved may be the savior
of his generation, the inspiration OF HUI
manity in the coming day.

its intention to complete its scheme OF

Theatres and Trade.

When a theatre nowadays gives up
Its art and goes into trade there Is
less OF shock to its admirers than
there used to be. Its last hours are
likely to be devoted to science rather
than art. The fate Of the unfashiona-
BILE playhouse is no longer variety or
burlesque. as 1t used to be. but the
moving picture plays. So there Is
none OF the sadness at the loss of the
personality Of the artist who acted
last on the abandoned boards. There
Is still more human appeal in the eff
forts Of the humblest hummer than
in the sight Of the greatest favorite Of
the film.
So the passing Of the Herald square
Theatre to make way for depart
ment store will have 10 effect now on
the stage In this city. II has been for

In all the fash and play OF tragedy

suffer quickly and are then removed

It Is doubtful which are the better off those outside or those inside Millions mole would have gone had they not been too poor or too optimistic.

 This same paper has published an inter view with King Albert, who expresses his gratitude for what has been done on behalf of 'poor Belgium, now merely the edge of a nation"
 The king urges that the BeIgians be given work, and not supported by charity.
 Lord Gladstone said today:
 We still want acceptable homes, warm winter clothing and shoes. Many of these refugees arrive in families and they dislike to be separated. The principal problem is to get work for them.
