TITLE Blue Pencil club Of Brooklyn
recently discussed this burning
4 topic:
Does the husband or the wife give
Up the most in matrimony?
Among the very clever opinions con-
tributed to the debate was one by a
lawyer. who said:
The round of matrimony is divided
into three great daily eras-the first,
when the contracting parties are to-
gether: the second. when they are
apart: the third. when they are resting
up for the first era to start again the
next day.
The first era should mean the glo-
ries. the JOYS, the sweets of life the
verita bic bursting forth OF heavenly
benedictions: and so it does-in some
cases
The second era should mean heart
hunger. longing and pain induced by
separation / know II means that, If
I didn't ! would suspect that it en-
braces all the beauties that era one
should. The third era is unquestiona-
bly, the greatest of all To those who
are truly ideal it means preparation for
the day 10 come. To those who are not
ii means relief and succor from the day
that has gone.
Should the man in matrimony give
Up his rights to a club AS a head
qusrters-yes; as a place for occasional
relaxa tion-no. His rights to friends2
AS an obsession-yes as a means TO
keep ripened the sweetness of exist
ence-no. His rights to smoking To
the detriment of his wife's health
yes; because il is bad for the lace cur
tains-no.
should he give up his rights to free
speech II il is dominating. abusive
and unjust-yes. il il is in self defence
no His rights to spend his own
money? If he does not provide justly
yes. II he has any left after paying
the bills-no. His rights to flirtations2

During the season Mr.. Ames plans to
produce four plays in the Little the
alter. He will make the playhouse his
producing plant and if the popularity of
any of the plays warrants it the piece
will be transferred TO another stage.
Granville Barker has written for Mr.
Ames a farce called The Morrice
Dance based on Robert Louis Steven
son and Lloyd OsbOurne's novel. The
Wrong Box" There are twelve scenes in
the play which will necessitate the use
of the revolving stage with which the
theater is equipped
Another offering will be comedy by
u lillian Hurlbut entitled Saturday to

fled by suffragists and ants" furnished
the inspiration for this play. In more

TELL her the truth. That will be
far kinder than continuing your
present course of deception. You
have chosen a rather cowardly way of
getting out Of difficult situation. and
you probably would not have done it
