A CLEAN PLAY IN
"FRECKLES" COMING HERE

The Broadway Amusement Co., the
producers of "Freckles" which comes
to the M. w. A. Opera House next
Tuesday, October 18th, has spared
neither pains nor expense in staging
this song play in the most elaborate
MANNER possible. In the first place
there is an environment in "Freckles'
which very few plays possess; chanc-
es for scenic investiture amazingly
natural and picturesque; and when
it is understood that the manage
ment has brought 1t up to the highesr
standard of stage production both
from a scenic point of view and by
means of a thoroughly competent
and perfectly balanced cast, there is
a double assurance of merit. This is
the original cast that played at At
lantic last season.

Among the many difficulties mothers

children Is lack of cooperation on the
part of the father.

has said, My husband tells me it is my
business to look after the children. If
they ask him for permission to do some
thing. he invariably says. Ask your
mother and when they are naughty and

off and tells me to punish them. What
am l to do about it,:
This state of things has its amusing
side. In one family l know well the
children include their easy-going, !ndif-
ferent father as one of themselves. Often
they run to the mother to tell on daddy
for breaking one of the rules.

shelters his family; who cannot reach
that home for his own late dinner until
long after the tired little eyes have again
closed for the life giving rest of another

children awake except on Sundays and

Homework by the Hours.

The system of visiting trades has been
rroposed as a solution to some OF the
difficulties that now attend the question
of domestic service. Perhaps you I'VE

services of a maid all the time. Or per-

Well. what are you going to do? If
YOU have a maid in for only few hours.
YOU want her TO be skilled in the work
for which you employ her. You want
her to be reliable, expeditions and you
want to be able to secure her services
at few moments notice. to be able to
reach her on the telephone If need be.
In other words what you want is sys-
tenn whereby you will have many of the
advantages of having the services Of a
highly skilled servant all the time COM

families. But many of them make their
need of rest an excuse for Sinking every
duty but business" Business Is the
| terrible Minotaur which is eating up our
| American home life. And unless we
mothers set our faces against it's inroads
the day will come when our children
may as we'll be reared in institutions and
We ourselves seek our houses only to
sleep as far as any genuine home life Is
| to be considered
The maintenance of a home and the
rearing of children demand sacrifices of
physical ease from the father no less
than from the mother. That father is
wilfully self-indulgent who does not do
! his part with the children on SUNDAYS If
he has no other time. I am going to
tel you how one father and mother met
this problem. 1t is best told in the letter
of the mother. who wrote:
Dear Aunt Chatty: 1 know YOU are
always glad for us club members to tell
you the things we find out. SO here is my
experience We live in a small town near
city and my husband is away all day
at his business. SO that he hardly ever
sees the children except Sundays. Then
on Sundays he used to feel he had to
sleep all day to get rested up for the
week. Well. We noticed our little girl
; years old. was getting shy of him At
hrst We laughed about it, but she kept
getting worse and worse. hanging on to
my skirts and putting her finger in her
mouth when he spoke to her, and finally
one day she screamed as if she were
frightened when he tried to take her on
MS lap. That made Us both FEEL bad
and that night We talked about it a long
time John said he guessed he'd been
seinsh leaving 1t all to me and never
trying to get acquainted with the chill
dren when he was at home So the very
next Sunday he began
He brought a picture book home
with him and soon he had the child
on his knee looking at the picture.
She slipped of as soon as she had
looked through it. but next time she
staged longer. Then John planned
walks-he knows a lot about birds
and howers-and soon he had even
the little 2-year-old interested in the
pretty things out of doors he knew
so well how to exploit. Now they're
all good friends. and you don't know
how il helps. They don't seem to be
as naughty as they used to be now
that they know their daddy will ask
them on Sunday what they have been
doing all week"
Truly. the world would be a better
place to live in If more men would
court their children's love and COM
panionship as that father did The
Bible tells us. you know. Male and
female created He them" The one
is the complement of the other, and
no true home can be built for the
nurture of the souls of the children
unless father and mother walk hand
in hand together with their little
ones
