tBy s. Whybrew, Richmond. VAL !,
Boys. keep your mouth clean--twas

Don't let it tell falsehoods, or curse

But keep It for mothers sake rosy

Let your mouth be as sweet as Ara

Where your mother sowed kisses; and
often, methinks.
Her sorrows were drowned In tho
fountain Of Joy
That flowed from the lips OF her own
sweet boy.
Remember how sweet were her kisses
to you
When she soothed you and called you

and gray
Her love is the same---you must kiss
her today.

Who lightly regards the love OF hts

For hard Is the heart that feels not

So. boys, remember your mother to-

You owe her debt you never can

But do what you can to add to her

Maurice and Florence Walton, the
co-stars in The Quest of Life, the
Famous Players offering which came
to the Liberty theater last night, are
probably the best known dancing duo
in America and Europe today, not to
mention majority Of the larger cities
of South America, Ii was Maurice
Walton who brought the tango 20 the
U. S. A.. and. strange to relate, he
discovered thi smost aIluring dance
in Argentine Republic.
Not only are the Waltons respon-
sible for this dance in. America but
also in Europe. In England the tango.
at least a variety of the dance, had
preceded them and SO disgusting was
the dance as given over there that
Queen Alexandria had placed it on the
tabu list in court circles. London So
ciety stood aghast at any suggestion
of the tango. The Waltons, however,
were invited to dance at a big court
function and asked permission to put
on. the tango. The queen was eventu-
ally induced to allow them to present
their version of tie dance. On its COM
pletion, it is said, the queen was so
impressed and pleased with the result
the ban was Immediately lifted.
In The Quest of Life the Waltons
introduce the famous Apache dance
which Maurice also brought to this
country from the Apache dives of
Paris. This dance, also. has been de-
.veloped to a science by this versatile
pair.

FASCINATING APRONS


There is something irresistible about
these little Its of sheer white mate
rial daintily ornamented with embroid
cry, lace and ribbon and dignified by
the name Of aprons. They are fash
toned in almost any shape and those
after the card symbols are especially
good and are in great demand for card
parties. A heart-shaped apron has
the point Of the heart at the top. The
apron is edged. with fine edging and
small designs in white, green and cor
al are not too pronounced to allow
the wearing of this fascinating apron
at any time. Ribbon strings are join
ed to the apron with bows. Another
apron formed like a club is lovely
when worked in pink, blue and green
with few. tiny French knots in the
center OF each flower. The diamond
can be ornamented with a New small
daisies scattered here and there. An
other idea is to use the respective col
ors of each card and work tiny spades,
hearts. clubs or diamonds, as the case
may be, on each apron.
