Interest In the Flag.

The Annis Stockton Chapter D. A. R.,
and Colony No. 1, New England Society,
Of Burlington county, kept "open house"
at the Franklin Cabin Home, Burling-
ton, on Washington's birthday. This
little structure has many visitors of all
ages on national holidays. Mrs. R. s..
Williams is always present on these oc-
casions, and one of her greatest pleasures
is teaching patriotism, through the
evolution of our flag, to the children,
especially those of foreign-born parents.
With untiring zeal she relates the his.
tory to each delegation presented to her.
An unusually large number of adults
were among the visitors this year.
Mrs. Williams is a candidate for the
presidency of the New England Colony
at the February election.

naval tactics. What Mr.. MundeJla
would have done under the circum-

he did under Mr. Bowles' interroga-

Trade development is a fascinating
quay river when l made the acquaint-
ance of the Guarani Indian women,
brave and Industrious and the most
accomplished head balancers on the
globe. 1t is quite the usual thing for a
woman to carry a basket on her head
filled with five struggling turkeys and
three chickens while she holds a young
ster under one arm, a large bundle of
firewood under the other, directs the
progress of three children, leads a stub
born burro and smokes a long cigar.
One day l followed a bronze Hebe to
her humble home by the river shore
and saw her bring forth an American
sewing machine and stitch away mer-
rily. Her own garment consisted of a
white creation resembling a sheet,
worn Moorish fashion, but this new
creation was to be a skirt in latest
Buenos Aires style for little Maria,
who attended the mission school and
had never learned to smoke.
Women are the same the world over
In metropolis and hamlet, in brilliant
court and forest wilds, they love adorn-
ment. Every woman covets the other
woman's clothes. In Bogota, Colon
bia, the aristocracy wear Partisan and
New York garments, but in the Atrato
river country the poor Indian girls
have nothing but fiber bark skirts to
wear. One of these maids of the will

indigo blue corsets and bright red open
work hose neatly painted on their choc.

JUD CLING A PLAY.
Frohman Dian't Agree With Tree That
Barrie Had Gone Mad.

Frohman weighed a play by the idea
In 1t, and he never produced a play,
however arbitrary in story or charac-
ters-as, for example. peter Pam
without being able to name specifically
the elements of success he thought II
possessed.
Barrie has gone out Of his mind.
Frohman. ! SIN sorry to say it, but you
ought to know it, we are both so fond
of him." said Sir Herbert Tree to Froh-
man one night. Hes just read me a
play. He is going to read it to you, so
| am warning you. l know I've not
gone woozy in my mind, because l
have tested myself since hearing the
play, but Barrie must be mad. He has
written four acts all about fairies, chill
dren and Indians. running through the
most incoherent story you yer listened
to, and what do you suppose-the last
act is to be set on top of trees!"
But the following day FrohmaD
heard "Peter Pan" and accepted 1t at
once. Long afterward be gave these as
his reasons "First, it was written by
Barrie; next. it was Enthusiastically a
fine novelty. The most emphatic play
in any theatrical season, the n that
is most likely to focus general public
attention, is the most novel. You can
estimate its novelty by the amount of
ineness a play contains, for the com
mon in life, like the poor, is always
with US and can never seem novel.
Only the fine registers with the empha-
sis Of novelty. People go to the theater
not to see life IS it is, but as they wish
it were. The theater's business is to
present not life, but the illusion of life.
Youth is the Illusion of life, old age the
delusion, and Peter Pan is packed
with youth; Sc l was for it."-John D.
Williams in CAntnrU-
