be presented by the Poll Players in
Hartford all next week.
The Big Idea" was written by A.
f. Thomas and Clayton Hamilton. 1t
is described as an unusual play and
such is the case. 1t is a combination
of mclodrama, broad farce a bit of
ira gedy and comedy and it is served
up in admirable doses. The story is
q play within a play. the action being
the subject matter of a play being
written by the hero as the action
progresses. In reviewing 1t on it's
New York premiere one metropolitan
critic said: 1T certainly entertained
the large audience at the Harris and
it was with no end of surprise that
the play took such a peculiar twist,

Women of Leisure Work Because
It's More Fun Than Tea Partying
Lady Mackworth of Wales Says That the Story Rumor
That English Women Are Drinking Heav-
lily Is Base Libel.

Uucy Huffaker in New York Tri-
bune.)
Because they have found out that
it is more fun to go to All office or
a shop than to go to tea parties all
the time, women who don't actually
need to earn their livings are
becoming interested in business
That is the explanation made by LaN--
MackWorth, of Wales who is in the city
for short visit. Lady Mackworth
can speak from experience, because
she is not only the daughter but the
partner of David Alfred Thomas,
known as the Welsh coal king Until
q, few years ago Lady Mackworth led
the life usually led by women of
wealth and station. Then-she says
quantity that she is her fathers only
"son'-she began to go to the mines
with her father and learn about the
business just as any son would do.

with him. But soon, quite aside from
the personal part of it, L became inter
ested in the work. Now [ go to the
office every day just as any one of the
clerks does I don't think could run
the business yeti have no delusions
about my ability. But I am learning
the business and l find it most fas-
clnating.
"It is chiefly because 1t is more in
teresting to work than to play all the
time that women who aren't driven
into it by necessity are going into bust
Tn, nf he
cur home is at Charlton in South
Wales-women haven't taken as active
an interest in business as they have
in other places. but still one can see
the change coming there.
Work More Fun Than All Play.
In London, of course. it is quite a
common story now to hear of some
society woman opening a hat shop or
a dressmaking establishment. They
are finding it is more run than going
to parties all the time, even if they
have plenty of money. When they
haven't money enough TO maintain
IL cir position, they feel it even more
keenly. Economic independence Is
something which women are beginn-
ing to appreciate and to work. for.
"Of course, I'm talking about the
women of the upper and middle classes.
The women of the working classes
have always worked. In fact, they have
worked too hard while the parasitic
women haven't worked at all. Per-
haps after while We will be able to
strike some sort Of a balance, so every
one will do enough work and no one
will be compelled to do too much. The
trouble in the past with woman's work
has been that she did it for nothing.
But the modern woman is demanding,
and getting, pay for her work.

their work after marriage and to be
economically independent is just one
, part of the big woman's movement.

HE TOOK FURNITURE,
WIFE WANTS $4,000
Chairs and Tables Hers by
Love and Affection" Says
Mrs. f. Dudley in Suit.

The matrimonial troubles Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Dudley, which for the last
few years have filled court calendars
with divorce suits and counter suits,
received another public airing yester-
day, when the husband filed his answer
to a claim for $4,000 brought by his
wife in the Federal District Court.
Mrs. Dudley wants the forty thou
sand because, she says. in 1905 Mr..
Dudley removed all the furnishings
from the house in Philadelphia where
they lived together. These, she insists,
belonged to her lin consideration of
love and affection" although her hus-
band bought them all. In 1910, she al
leges. he promised to return them.
The articles which she alleges were
taken consist of the fittings of several
rooms. and include twin beds and
twelve cakes of imported soap among
other things. Dudley, in his answer, de-
nes that he ever promised to return
the chattels, and pleads that the stat
ute of limitations dismisses the suit.
The Dudleys were married in Naples
in 1899 They lived together in Cam
den and Philadelphia until 1905. Since
then they have been chiefly occupied in
trying to divorce each other. Mr.. Dud-
ley is a member of many exclusive
clubs both here and in Philadelphia.

Granddaughter Starts Suit

Miss Eleanor b. Fox. granddaughter
of the late Senator John Fox. for
many years president of the National
Democratic Club, has brought Surro-
gates Court proceeding against her
mother, Mrs. Constance NJ. Fox, with
out knowing it.
Mrs. Fox is the general guardian of
her daughter. who has an interest in
the estate Of her grandfather. John
F. Mccall was appointed the girls spe-
cal guardian by the Surrogates' Court.
In that capacity, his charge being a
minor, he began a proceeding in her
name TO have her mothers letters OF
guardianship revoked by the court for
her failure to file an annual account
ing of Miss Fox's property. Both
mother and daughter denied there was
any such proceeding. As a matter OF
fact, Miss Fog. said she had never even
seen Mr.. Mccall, her special guardian.
With or without the daughters
knowledge the action had been brought.
Meantime Mrs. Fox made her account
ing and filed it yesterday. The ae-
counting shows that only sl55 IN casn
came into the hands of Mrs. Fox as
guardian. The daughter has an inter

ASKS COOPERATION
ON UNEMPLOYMENT
Secretary Wilson Names Board
from Federal, State and Mu-
nicipal Bodies.

San Francisco, Aug. 6.-An advisory
board of twelve, representing equally
the Federal, state and municipal gov
ernrnents of the country. to bring about
closer cooperation between the three
branches in desiing with problems Of
employment and unemployment, was
named to-day at the closing session Of
the United States Department Of Labor
conference on employment.
Secretary of Labor W. u. Wilson,
chairman of the conference, said he
felt that the cooperation toward which
it aimed would do much TO alisy.sre, II
il could not entirely eradicate, the evils
from which the laborer suffers.
The need of public labor exchanges,
he said, might never have been realized
had it not been for the abuses Of the
private exchanges, among which he
named the furnishing Of strike break
ers and wage breakers.
As possible solution of "the land
less man and manless land problems"
Secretary Wilson suggested creating
rotary fund" from the $l0,OOO,OOO
which the Federal government gets an
nually from the immi grafton head tax.
The money could be paid back and used
in helping other immigrants, ne sug-
gested.
Among those named on the advisory
board were c. L. Green, general in
spector in charge Of employment and
distribution, and Ethelbert Stewart,
chief statistician, both of the Depart
ment of Labor, and C. T. Barnes, of the
New York State Labor Department. One
woman was named, Miss Hilda Muhl-
hauser, of Cleveland.
