Believed the Old Sign.

Ethel Barrymore said at dinner: Il
gave party to some little girls the
other day, and. when the cake came on,
said to the children:
I've put in this cake a coin, tiny
doll and a button Whoever gets the
doll will be married very, very young.
But whoever gets the button will be an
old maid
We'll, the cake disappeared rapidly,
and the little girls soon found the coin
and the doll The button, however, failed
to turn up. Nobody got the button.
This amazed me, and at the party's
end said to my fayorite little girl as
she was taking leave:
= II can't understand what became of
that button, for | put it in the cake
myself
I'm tell YOU the little girl STAN
mered, with a blush. q got the button
but | didn't want everybody to laugh at
me, so | swallowed it.

OF his numerous descendants, Bob OFT,
is a player whose capacity for quiet
comedy is known throughout the world.
Bah is a farceus of capital spirit and
delicate methods. He takes himself Sc
riously, and accordingly makes his every
point tell with becoming forces.
Bob OFT, as Hans Worst, in six Lit
tie Taylors," is an impersonation of
much artistic value, and makes one wish
to see him in q work of a more exaeting
kind. 1t is an entirely satisfactory
company which supports him.
The story is written around James
Taylor, manager of the Taylor emquori
UNI; he has six daughters, known as the
"Six Little Taylors." Their mother dies
and leaves will, STIMULATING that her
husband must see each and every daugh-
tiers happily married before he even
dreams of taking a second wife. All
the girls are OF the bachelor type and
refuse to marry. The father is madly
in love with Clara Dickinson, but cannot
marry until he gets rid of his daughters.
Clara and Taylor plan to trap the
girls; they engage Hans to make love to
ONE, thtg dsh III 1edi W hlhke loNe " uHe
of the others. Taylor offers a large re-
ward TO any man marrying either of the
girls Situations follow thick and fast,
and much fun is derived.
The play is filled with up-to-thesec-
ond musical numbers. One must not fail
TO hear the Rag Time DRAINS. This is
one of the funniest burlesques ever heard
or seen. Also the pretty ear ticklers,

help the busy mother. One way to make
the work seem ike play is to have each
child draw slip of paper on Monday
morning. On the slips have been written
down some tasks. which each child must
do that week, such as tying up the laun-
dry bundle, feeding the pets, busting the
living room, watering plants, etc. This

Ot course there can he no teamwork

Tins is equally true Of a football or

rious ranks and degrees OF authority.
And sometimes thl, necessary orgdni2a-
ton and close regulation creates an i'm.

But the fact Of the case is that Amcri-
can soldiers accept the reasonable dis

things are necessary They accept them
without losing IN the least their real
independence as free citizens.
Furthermore. American armies arc
