little resume Of the play itself may
be in order.
The comte de Candale has taken as
his bride a little convent girl. who in
turn has a very touching love affair
with chap who is entirely too tame
for the part OF a LOthario-
This chap visits the bridal couple
on their wedding day and the hus-
band apparently is very well satisfied
The fact Of the matter is that the
bridegroom has an affair with a GER
tain French nobleWoman and cannot
AFFORD 20 be too critical, but the
brides Lothario is so tame and unin-
teresting that she quickly tires Of him
and falls in love with her own hus-
band The bridegroom about the same
time falls in love with his beautiful
wife-and that is all there is to il.
Billie Burke in Lead.
Miss Billie Burke as the comtesse
de Candale was delightful, the more
so that the role was particularly
suited TO her own conception Of an
ingenue part. A tremendous white
wig OF the period OF Louis XIV COW
cred Miss Burke's delightful bronze
locks. but, all in all. she was better
in this part than she has been in any
thing she has essayed for a long time.
Miss Lucille Watson was a trifle too
modern for a young woman of $50
years ago, but her work had much
more merit and she was accorded gem
erous applause

but frowned sulkily.
While she was frowning and fret
ing, little man dressed in brown ap-
peared from his home in the ground.
Mabel was so frightened she could
do nothing but stand and look at him.
He took hold of her hand and led her
toward her home. Mabel screamed,
but her mother was too far away to
hear her. The brownie led her to his
dark home in the ground.
When Mabel lived with him, she
had to work all the time.
One day when the brownie was
away Mabel crept out of the dark hole
and ran to her home. But other times
when her mother told her to work
she did II willingly. / think it was a

Honor to Soldiers

I am going to tell you all some
thing that was told me. So in a way
it's secret. We all love our grand
mas, don't we? But when our grandma
has been to England and knows all
about what the English children do
to help in war times, why, then, she
is as good as a story book, isn't she?
Well, there's a grandma visiting here
in Omaha now who can tell lots Of
interesting things about England.
She has seen real ladies drive plows
and noble children gather vegetables
in the fell, and do all sorts of odd
jobs for the Tommies.
The new laid eggs are gathered
every day and sent to the sick SOL
diers; the fresh vegetables are saved
for them, and they are the favored
one of the country. 1t used to be the
other way about. Everything went
to the lords and ladies and noble
children first, and now everything

Kaiser's Tombstone.

By Lucille Baur, Aged II Years, At
wood, Kan, Blue Side.
Dear Busy Bees: Do you know
what you buy war saving stamps for.
Yes, to loan Uncle Sam our money.
That is not what / am doing. You
know the kaiser is so famous that
your and my Uncle Sam is 60
ing to buy a tombstone for him.
Our parents bought the tombstone
by the Liberty bonds and we are pay
ing the sculptor for putting each letter
on. They cost Is cents each. And as it
is. such a big tombstone it will take a
great many letters and words on it.
The words cost SIS if you want to put
a word on all at once. We do this
because the kaiser is known the world
over, and we must put big and long
epitaph on his tombstone and you
may be sure Uncle Sam will--he's
the sculptor, you know. The allies are
the names of his main helpers. How
many have put words or letters on the
kaiser's tombstone? For he is known
the world over.

Willful Marjorie.

Years, Slo South S7th Street.
Spring had come. Yes, it truly had,
for the birds we're singing and the
buds on the trees were opening. Even
the tulips and violets were opening
for Easter.
Marjorie asked her mother If she
could not so down by the brook and
gather violets.
We'll, dear" her mother replied,
II might let you go, but don't you
think it would be nicer to wait until
Easter, and then we will ask Jane
and Helen to go with u.s."
well, | want to go now," replied
Marjorie.
"All right them" was her mothers
reply. IF you would rather go now
instead of Easter"
If the truth was known, Marjorie
would have preferred to so Easter,
but this way she figured she could go
twice, so off she went and came back
with an abundance of violets.
When Easter Sunday came, Helen
and Jane came over to ask Marjorie
to hunt violets with them, but her
mother said, why Marjorie, you
went last week instead"
Marjorie was rather ashamed and
said nothing, though she showed her
disappointment.
Her mother saw that she was dis
appointed and allowed her to 60 a
few days later. But though Marjorie
did get to go, don't think she'll ever
figure as she did again.
