Perfect Marriage Almost lmpossibiity, 7 Says Author of Spoon River Anthology" Loyal Champion of Old Fashioneu Virtue in New Fash
 toned Form Declares True Wedlock Is the
 One Great Fruit of Freedom for Women

1 The varietiest, the person who in l his cry for freedom fits rom love to l love in unhampered liberty, is not l acting upon racial instinct; he Is ! merely nlaving on the side, and, as a 1 link in the great cna1'' as step into ! the next generation, is not contribu- l tive.
 l This is according to Edgar Lee Mas ] ters the poet who shocked and sur l prised so many people in his Spoon l River Anthology''-the poet whom l found to be a loyal champion of old 1 fashioned virtue in a new-fashione ed l form.
 ] Measuring Radicalism. 1 One is afraid of radica:s sometimes 1 But MT. Masters in his radicalism is reassuring. We talked about mar riage.
 Now, can think of more wonder full things than marriage, but I can not think of anything more practical ble and at the same time more beauti full than marriage. Varietism won't work for the achievement of the race, but marriage will.
 ''The only excuse for legal marriage that we have now is economic" he said, quietly. "Women can't take care of themselves and their children, and men have to. Marriage solves these questions of inheritance, of financial responsibility, of protection. Now, when women are economically inde- pendent We may have a new, finer, freer kind of marriage. It will not be based upon the helplessness of women, but upon their helpfulness. It will be a true communion of spirit and of in terest, a complete sympathy of mind and soul. It will not need external bonds to hold it.
 "A means of bringing this about will be through sharing labor in common. In my life I have seen one perfect marriage, that of my old grandmother and grandfather. And I attribute it. largely to their mutuar work. They gardened together, they ran the farm together, and they lived and loved as few people do. The perfect marriage is almost an impossibility, you know.
 The Procession of the Generations
 There's something indestructible, something inviolable, about the great stream of life. It's the one impelling force that brings inevitable results. That's imm ortality-the projection of self into generations and generations and generations-the only tangible immortality there is. And so,. mar riage, true, spiritual marriage, which founds itself upon this fundamental racial instinct, is to be hoped for.
 That people who love irregularly are unfair to their children is not to be questioned. I myself would never think of bringing child into the

 '"The Flaming Sword" is a story of the rockbound coast Of Maine and an island far out in the Atlantic where hermit, who has been wronged in early life seeks solace and quiet.

POLL PLAYERS IN
 WESTERN COMEDY

Tn Wyoming,'' Willard Mack's Western play in four acts, completely captured two large audiences at Polls Theater yesterday and bids fair to continue it's popularity throughout the week. The West of the days of COW punchers and horse thieves while rapidly passing away in actuality, still survives on the stage and seems to be one of the surest agents to attract big crowds. It is hardly necessary to say that the Poli Players are well suited to their parts.
 The story of "In Wyoming" con- cerns the running down of bunch of horse and cattle thieves, headed by a competent and very villainous william, and interwoven with are nu- merous love affairs in some really humorous comedy. Needless to men, ton, everything comes out right in the end, leaving the heroes and hero- ines happy and the william properly subjugated.

world to go through the hell that a child born irregularly must suffer. There is the further matter, too, of allowing the state to have voice in saying whether two people may have children. 1t is so much more than a personal matter, it so affects the com munity and the world, that the respon- sibility of decision to marry is aim ost too much for two people to undertake. The Model of the Bees.
 But I wonder, after all, whether all ;, this intellectualizing isn't Tutile. Why can't We be like bees? They are so frugal for the next generation, so con- cerned with the upbuilding of their family. I wonder if we followed our own sublininal selves, without all this reasoning process, whether we wouldn't be more successful racially %
 Going back to the marriage state for women, I wondered just what he meant by free women.
 'Oh, all sorts of freedom" he re- piled, freedom to do and think and talk. Freedom to get out and play golf tc be among men in the business and professional world. Of course, it doesn't naturally follow that the woman golfer, just because she plays tolf, is going to love her husband a great deal more and make him happier than he used to be. I know some very good golf players who say to me of their husbands: oh, yes, Archibald is such good fellow. UT course, haven't any more feeling for him than I have for that post wonder, but lie is good man. Now, that's the scrt of thing that makes me ask you How many perfect marriages have you seen? Heaven knows why that sort of people stick it out. I suppore it's a fatal fascination that attracts, though the object may be hated. Then, too, people are afraid, or too unresource- Iul to make a break
 What are We going to do with the woman who can't be free" I asked him, "the woman. who is stilted and cramped and warped, to whom the end of her nose is the end of the World?"
 Leave People Alone.
 "Oh, let's leave her aldne. How else could we help her unless we gave her money to buy opportunity? If we save her books, she'd read and be- cme restless, and be unable to follow her new inspiration. That woman who is in the rat trap of a home. ca ught by her husband and her chil- dren and her duties, mustn't be teased with visions of cheese outside. Then too, there are worlds and worlds of women who are distinctly maternal, who are pretty and sweet and love babies but who could never acquire scope and horizon if they tried forever.

AN ALIEN,'
 DRAMA, , OF POWER I }

To judge by the enthusiasm of the many thousand who witnessed the 1n- numerable performances or The Slgn of the Rose at the Astor theater, New York during it's lengthy engagement there this remarkable play has taken new lease on life and will continue to move thousands more to tears and smiles The photo-play has enough merit to provide excellent entertain ment for an entire evening.
 Tn production is what might be called a "super-feature" in that 1t is in nine acts, has an exceptionally good story, in this case one of great human interest and is splendidly acted and produced with more than usual care. George Bebans work in Italian chara acterizations has won for him a unique position as an actor. In his gestures, his walk and his facial expression he succeeds wonder fully in portraying the Italian labor CT. But MT. Behans work is marked more than mechanical perfection, for sincerity, sympathy and perception are qualities which makes his inn personation of Pietro thoroughly ad- mirable.
 The story of '"The Sign of the Rose is well known, as the playlet has been one of the most famous vaudeville successes in this country. Pietro's devotion to his daughter, his kindliness and simplicity, and his complete innocence when accused of crime have touched the hearts of thousands The photo-play is filled with incidents which have a delicate humor tinged with sadness Espec- tally appealing is Pietro's story of the night before Christmas and Mr Beban's skill is depicting the simple Italians perp1exity as to how to ac-

 Here is one of the prettiest of the new skirts, it consists of three pieces and a gathered hounce is joined to tho edge in real Spanish style. The nar- rower hounce can be used or omitted as many other possibilities of treatment, for the edges of the flounces can be cut in scallops, or in points and bound or they can be slashed to form succession of squares, the pattern providing for all three styles as indicated by the dotted outlines. Also, if battlements are wanted, 1t will be necessary only to cut slaehes for the squares and to cut off each alternate one, so that the skirt practically gives edges of five different sorts. With the straight edges, it is quite simple, but with the shaped edges, it becomes really dressy and elaborate in effect, and since the binding involves only straight sewing, 1t is very simple trimming as well as most effective one. In the illustration, howered taffeta is bound with plain, but there are of course nunberless materials that are pretty made in just this way tll the fashionable silks and great many of the silk and cotton crepes, while the ttamines, wool voiles and the like, that tire to be worn throughout the autumn, would be very pretty with bindings of silk.
