George Middleton, dramatist, with
his talented wife, Fola La Toilette,
daughter of Senator Robert M. La
Toilette of Wisconin, gave a dramatic
reading of Mr.. Middleton's three-act
comedy, Nowadays" at the Congrega-
tiOnal church, Moline, Saturday at the
February general meeting of the Mo-
line Woman's club. The program was
in charge of the art and literature de-
partment, Mrs. A. S. Edwards, the
club president, introducing the speak
ers
Mr.. Middleton gave the parts of the
men and Miss La Toilette of the wom-
en- in the story. Mr.. Middleton in a
brief introduction, announced the diff
ferent scenes. The scenic settings he
complimented his audience by leaving
to their imagination, guiding the fancy
with some brief, clear delneation of
what the proper stage setting to the
play would be.
The story he announced as IAN in
depreciation of the life of today" and
as "a comedy at which you may laugh
if you will" He described the charac-
tiers as those of people equally sin
cere but of different points of view,
and his description of the elder Mr..
Dawson, the head of the house, was
that of "a conservative; person who
stays put"
The story of Diana, the daughter of
the Dawson household, is said to have
been created for Miss La Toilette, and
is Of a young girl, talented and ambi-
tious, whose love for art as sculptor
takes her to New York city.
The play "Opens with her anticipated
return home, and the story develops
as she brings her lively views of life
her interests, her hopes and aspira-
tons into the conservative old home
! life, much of the disgust of her domin-
eering father who finds his comfortable
world turned topsy-turvey by these
new-fangled women's notions.
Peter, newspaper man, plays ar
important part in the proceedings. in
the ultimate plans and in the affection.
of the daughter, and the leap year pro
posal of Diana forms an amusing in
nOvation of the last act which close!
with the hope that they lived happil!
ever after"
Mr.. Middleton has a sprightly wi
and delightful fancy. He commands
both and while using them cleverly tt
create delightfully."- humorous situa
tons and conversation which make
most satisfactory entertainment for hi
audience he follows his thought in tn
development of his story consistently
naturally and unswervingly to the end
He declines to allow his fancy to rul
away with him although the play eX
ploits the most modern woman and tn
emancipation of the eternally feminin
to suit the most ardent suffragist.
1t may be of interest to know tina
; Mr. Middleton is one of the most sue
cessful of the younger dramatists o
the day. He is the author of a numbe
'of plays aud demonstrations, anon

Dear Mrs. Thompson: a. We are
seven freshman girls, and wish to
know whether it is proper to live up
to leap year customs, such as taking
boys home from parties, etc.

this spring and summer?

cold sores?
"a Is it proper for girls of IA and Is
to dance?
60 Is it injurious to the hair to curl
it on a gas curler?
THE INNER CIRCLE.
a. The girls should call for the
boys and escort them to the party, but
the boys should take them home.
(2) Green is one of the most popu-

kissing, but they originally are caused
by cold or some infection Of the

60 Yes. Rubber or kid are much
less injurious.

Make Skin Smooth

There is one safe, dependable treat
ment that relieves itching torture in
stantly and that cleanses and soothes the
skin.
Ask any druggist for DC bottle of
zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that pimples. black heads,
eczema, ringworm and similar skin trou-
bles will disappear.
a little zemo, the penetrating, salts
flying liquid. is all that is needed, for it
bapishes all skin eruptions and makes
the skin soft, smooth and healthy.
Zemo, Cleveland.
