of the negotiations had been circulat

be the possibility that some third ma

ed to, by referring to the well-settled
proposition of law that all presump-
tions are in favor of the constitution
ality of acts passed by the Legislature
and that all reasonable doubts are
determined in favor of Legislative
enactments, and that courts have
nothing to do with questions which
go to mere policy or expediency OF
acts of the legislature. It is proper
opinion relative to the constitution
here to state that the arguments pre-
sented showed wide difference OF
atty of the act in question, both by
counsel appearing for the parties tc
the proceeding. and those appear
ing as friends of the court.
1t was contended, first, that the
whole act was void because the title
contains more than one subject, in
violation of section l, of article Nv
of our constitution. We think the
objections to the title of the act are
fully answered by former decisions
of this court, particularly the case
of State v. State Bank & Trust Com
pany (3l New. 456)

3 of the act in question deprives peti
toner of his rights as an elector and
member of the Progressive Party be-
cause that section apportions dele
gates to the state and county conven-
tons on the basis of the vote for rep
resentatives in congress at the last
preceding election, and that the party

no candidate for representative in

BY THE PLAYGoER.

It Is little surprising at first that The
Cinderella Man." the comedy by Edward
Childs Carpenter, which returns to the
Belasco Theater this week, should prove
50 refreshing to the jaded spectator. The
stun Of which It Is built seems old to
the last item-genius In the garrett, SYM
pathetic heiress, harsh father, forlorn old
servant, grasping landlady, tactful friend,
and successful manuscript. Who would
think to dnd an up-to-date tonic in this
prescription? By adding that the senti-
ment Is naive, the humor gentle and
CHEEKY, and the general flavor .Dtckensy,
we complete the riddle and also find a
clsw to the answer. The play refreshes
by sheer force OF reaction. The author
echoes the finest spirit Of the older gen.
Grafton and meets hearty response from
the modern audiences, surfeited with
decadent spices Of the time.
A strong factor in the success OF the
play, however, Is the delightful playing
Of Phoebe Foster and Shelley Hull In
the two leading parts. Miss Foster has
the role OF a horribly rich" young wom-
an who, on returning from Europe and
meeting disappointment IN a grun father
and a worthless suitor, seeks and finds
happiness in acquaintance with strug-
Cling young poet, whose attic in the next
door lodgfng-house she invades with
Christmas cheer by way Of the roofs.
Anthony Quintard, the poet, Is one Of
those droll. whimsical chaps, such as
Barrie might have created, and Mr.. Hull
has just the manner and temperament
requisite for its true portrayal. The two
acts laid in his lofty chamber, with the
innocent visits Of the fairy godmother,
and the contest for the poets attention
between growing love and absorbing
work, form an idyI of unusual purity and
charm.
There are several other characters
played with skill and spirit, the best be-
ing the old servitor Of the lodgtng-house,

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
By FRANCES MARSHALL.
THE NEW HOME NoTE BOOK.

No woman knows how soon she may
have a chance to plan and equip home
Of her own. Boarding or living with
somebody else may at the moment be
the only expedient thing to do. But a
day may soon come when ths separate
home will be possible and advisable; and
then the housekeeper wants to be pre-
pared to start It.
So it is a good idea TO keep list OF
the things that it occurs to you you
would want in your own home. Write
them out as they occur TO you in a note
book and then when the time comes tc
have the new home you won't have to
depend on your memory only.
There are dozens of little convenicnces
you would wish, things that cost very
little. things that could easily be adjusted
in the building Of a new house; yet most
of them would escape you IL you did not
have them written down.
For instance, there is the matter OF
the right light at the sink. It should be
so placed that It casts no shadow oveI
the sink at night. Very often the only
light in the kitchen is directly in the

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS"

The Aborn Opera Company continues its
efforts to give Washington grand opera
in English on an artistic and pretentious
scale. Verdi's exquisitely melodious Rig

ater last evening, attracted splendid
audience, which gave close attention to

profigate. desires his daughter Gilda.
RigoIetto plots with Sparafucile, a pro-
