THE STRANGE CASE
 OF MARY PAGE"
Copyright 1915 by the Mcclure publications)

l sour old maid she'd never hand any body d job if she could get her com- missions any other way, but she has the inside with some of the good managers and you cant overlook any bets in the show business So we went back, and while we were going 1 down the hall Mary looked so blue that 1 had to play Little Sunshine with much business of 'I'Ve-a- -hunch- that-we'n- n-land-today'-to try and make her smile and look pretty for any possible manager. That's why We didn't see David Pollock till we fairly bumped into him, and he made grab for Mary's hand. Then he be- gan to spill out an apology. He said he'd been searching every theatrical agency and every theater in town looking for Mary. I've been wretched, Marv.' he said. think I must have been crazy that night at the Blue Feath- err l was jealous and angry and hurt besides, and I lost my head. Won't you forgive me? I'm not go- ing to bother you any more, but can't live without your forgiveness.' By that time Mary had got the power of speech back and she ierled her hand away from his as if it burnt. I am perfectly willing to forgive you she said, and accept youk apology, but do not care to continue any ac- qualntance with you With that we both sailed by him and into the office, where there was a fine young lineup Of leads and heavies and capital Is, waiting to be selected by manager who was closeted with Miss Prentiss.'
 Did you and Miss Page secure posi- tons i'll that new company?'
 Yes. The minute the manager spotted Mary. he picked her for the lead because she was the proper type and Mary, the darling, said she couldn't take the job unless I went along too. So he handed me an in genue role with about ten sides and twenty-five beans as salary. Old Miss Prentiss was so friendly after that l thought she was going to kiss us goodbye, but she didn't and we got away with our first call for re- hearsal and our contracts tucked in our handbags. Mary's included the fact that she was to be featured in the play which had the giddy moniker of A Woman's Pledge.' "

Has the birth of your baby been reg that this duty is performed without delay It may some time be of the greatest importance to your child that there be in existence an accur- atc legal record of his birth, date, place, and parentage. Such rec ord serves to establish his age beyond question, and through this his right to the legal period of schooling and freedom from labor. It may also serve to establish his right to a dis puted inheritance and to establish for him various property or other legal rights which may be in dispute. There are numerous instances where the lack of this sort of record has been the cause of serious losses of inheritance and of educational and other rights.
 In New York city in 1913 the birth records helped to enforce the personal or property rights of more than 13S,- 900 persons.
 It is, in most states, required by law that the doctor midwife, or other at tendant at birth shall report the birth U the registrar of Ei ths, Gt Tt tins .I,It\ is not infrnq.,C !tlV neglected, par ents should investigate to see whether it has been done properly in the case of their hcildron.

ONE LONE QUEEN
 BEATS ANY HAND

The familiar significance of the title, "A Pair of Sixes'' to American theatergoers, as well as. it's quaint ness, has made it we'll known the country over, apart from the fact that the farce enjoyed a run of a year at the Longacre theater. New York, and is now being played North, East, South and West. Success is attending it at the Lyceum, where the Alfred Cross Players are starring this week.
 The play was received by the me- tropolitan critics with an expression of praise that almost exhausted the superlatives and the hilarious farce has made good everywhere despite this avalanche of praise. It has made theatergoers expect much and they have not been disappointed. For ingenuity of plot, bright dia- logue, hilarious complications and most amusing situations. it has been declared the best play of it's kind ever
 seen on the English-speaking stage. It is by Edward Peple, the author Of 9Th LittIest Rebel" and '"The | Prince Chap,' and three acts-all | unique plot, probably the most ori- 1 ginal ever dramatized.
 ! Mrs. Adelaide Hubbard who is ], playing the strange character, Cod 1 dles' is making the hit of her career l by the wonderful manner she is in | terpreting the lines and situations. At i every performance this week Mrs. l Hibbard's entrance has been the sig l nal for an outburst of applause. ] Those who know Mrs. Hubbard we'll l off the stage would never recognize 1 her unless the program put her 1 name down as the player of Cod

After exhausting all other methods | they finally decide to play a game of cards, the winner to take care of l the business for the period of one year while the loser must play the role of butler in the winners home. l It is easy to imagine the complica- l tions that would naturally follow l such novel scheme. First, the | sweetheart of the loser appears as the invited guest of the winner, and the poor butler that waits on her is

, the individual, but to the state and the nation.
 The complete registering of all does tell us exactly how great is the accessionto our population each year by immigration, or intake from Tor eign lands. At each port of landing immigration inspectors record each arrival and tell us his or her nation aIity, age, sex, destination, and how much money each one brings. But the federal government can not go in- to the states and cities and establish registration offices and tell us how many children enter each state by birth. This work must be done by each state separately. We have no national bookkeeping to account for the ebb and flow of human life as an asset and liability of our civic or ganism. We have no national records to give our sanitarians and students
 basis for their preventive studies. Congress by resolution has urged the states to enact and enforce suitable registration legislation. The states governments must now act.
 Most of the states now have ade- Quate laws; their enforcement how ever, depends to a large extent upon popular support. This support is as- sured if individual parents will insist upon the registration of each birth.

EPISODE VIII. Amy'S Stellar Role.

Nature had intended Amy Barton to be great actress. Emotional roles of any sort would have sat absurdly upon her slender shoulders, but in the part of the insouciant ingenue she never failed to score. She was the quaint blending which modern life has evolved, of an old-fashioned small town upbringing, veneered with a bright crust of bravado born of bat ting for her living in a city brim- ming with temptations, but she had never lost her gay defiance nor had She lost the corn erstone of her simple creed. Be decent, loyal to your friends and don't go around with a grouch."
 Her gaiety was infectious, and as she ripped up the two steps to the TltneSs-chair she nodded a familiar greeting to the judge and smiled at the jury
 Miss Barton" said Langdon you have told us of the experience with MT. Pollock that led to your sudden resignation from The Blue Feather company. Did you see him at any time after that?"
 See him again." she retorted. Why, that man was regular cpl demic!' A delighted giggle greeted the words, emanating from the jury box Itself. We bumped into him the day we landed our first real job for the road. We were on our way to the Prentiss Agency. We'd been there be- fore and they'd handed us the call again sign, so we were playing a re- turn date though we hadn't much hopes. Old Miss Prentiss is such a

she hasn't a particle of self distrust and never did have. She was satis- fled with herself as girl, and she is now and always will be, and con sequently she hasn't improved and never will. Rosa was different, she was less certain of herself. She was sensitive to the differences between herself and the girls who had had IT. ore advantages. If anyone snuDbed Rosa, she tried to find out what the matter with her was, and she found out and corrected it. Today she is r!ore truly a lady than most of the girls; who used to think themselves above her. If people snubbcd Ger 1 trude, she simply decided they were snobs and dislil1ed them.

 This play coupled with Nance O'NeiTs unusual versatility forms com bination hard to match any where. Supporting Miss O'Neil is one of the strongest casts possible to sc cure anywhere. In addition to this cast more than a thousand people worked in the many scenes.
 Tn addition to this latest produc- ton the management has booked as the added attraction, D. w. Griffith's famous morality play "The Battle of the Sexes" a five act mas terpiece. The story deals with the single moral standard for men and women and carries the audiences through a series of remarkable sit nations that are startling to the eH- treme.

We were talking the other day about two sisters, who, though they had the same ount of education and equal opportunities, have made very different uses of them.
 One has developed into an unusually sweet girl. She has excellent man ners, she speaks well. she is interested in the worthwhile things of the day. With very little to work with she has created a pleasant home, restful and full of evidences of good taste. On a small income she dresses stylish IN and with refinement.
 She married into family who thought themselves rather above her but who have learned to admire and respect her.
 In short, she has bought %Olden opinions from all sorts of men, and, unlike the wife for whom that phrase was coined, she will probably con- tinue to deserve them.
 She Is Standing Still.
 The other sister has not developed with the years. Though she married better, from a financial point of view, and had much more to work with her home is not half so attractive as her sisters. She, herself, is over dressed, she is common in her man ner and uneducated in her speech.
