Commencement Scenery.

On the stage they are doing away with de-
tailed scenery because the great artists say
that the audience doesn't see IL. The makers OF
the new stage pictures rely for their effects
on color and light.
There's a hint for commencement girls. Why
spend money and dressmaker's eyesight on lace,
embroidery and tiny ruffles that don't look good

There is no question about the wife
and mother having a name and legiti-
mate one, but her innocent child will be
branded unless the mother continues to
be the nominal wife of the father up to
the moment it sees the light of day.
Just why things change miraculously
at that moment, we would like to know.
Is its father more its father before it
is born than after?
Or is its mother more its mother and
less its fathers wife?
Are the months before its birth i'm
mune from law proceedings by any nat
ural law (which, after all, does not take
stock of any legal matter whatever), and
are the days and weeks afterward in
some way different so that the machin-
cry of the courts may go on?
There is no doubt about the legality Of
the marriage or there would be no chance
for divorce.
On the whole, this looks like law put
ting a premium upon illegitimacy, for if
the mother had not been married, there
would have been no trouble about it.
We do not follow the law at all.
Perhaps they have this case mixed up
with the old story of who was the mother
of the chickens. Since incubators came
into use, no doubt has been felt on this
subject.
The mother, who knows nothing
whatever about law, said simply that she
didn't see that it mattered," and We
agree with her.
