Allied infantry did not attempt any

Although Name Sounds
Naughty, Play Would Do

NEW YORK. Oct Is. sleeping
IN Partners" in which John D. VIII
lisms is starring Il B. Warner and
Irene BordonL is billed as a farce
comedy Of the boulevards." This is
a misnomer TO a certain extent, for
the reason that all the scenes are laid
in a Partisan bachelor apartment, but
insofar as the intention was to denote
that the play is typicauy French in all
its aspects. the description is entirely
accurate The play has been adapted
from the French OF sacha Gultry. It
is cleverly written and equally clever
" acted
Miss Bordoni shows to much better
advantage in part Of this kind than
she ever did IN the musical comedies
which she has graced during the last
few seasons
Mr.. Warner gets the last possible
ounce out Of the part, which is to be
censured chiefly because il portrays
a Don Juan who seems to have
stepped out OF the pages Of one Of
the Rollo books.
Clever and Amusing.
Sleeping Partners" is clever and
amusing, but as a naughty French
farce It gives food for reflection as
TO whether French morals are not as
eending, while those in America are
on the toboggan.

can farces which have been produced
within the last two or three seasons,

A LBANIA is the least known coun-

Of it that have never been fully ex-

the curious and the adventurous
4 hundred years ago Gibbon wrote
Of It as a country within sight OF
Italy which is less known than the
interior Of America But he probably
did not guess that long after the in
terror Of America had become the
granary OF a great nation, Albania
would remain an unknown wilderness.
Albania's isolation from the rest OF
the world is due partly TO the char
acter Of its people. and partly TO the
itself. The Albanians are fierce war
riors and hunters. There are two
tribes OF them, the Ghegs and the
Tosks. These still preserve a tribal
form Of government somewhat like
that which existed in Scotland in the
time Of the Stuart kings. This tribal
organization is the only government
for although the Turks are theoret-
ical rulers of the land, as a matter OF
fact they have never really conquered

pay no taxes and give nothing to the
Turkish government except military
service, for which they are supreme
" fitted.
The Albanians are a people OF great
mental capacity. Many men who have
played a leading part in Turkish af-
fairs have been Ablanians.
The blood feud or vendetta is still
very fashionable in Albania, ana
helps materially to keep down the
sparse population. Bandits are also
numerous, and the traveller who goes
into this region does so for the most
part at his own risk. for the Turkish
government is unable to furnish safe

So. when one OF them happened to

Then somebody invented a formula

This sounded plausible. and in
in many other families the truth was
that the husband worked his eight or
nine hours a day and then rested. as
any OF Us would prefer to do, whereas
the wife and mother was contin
uously on duty for q hours q day and
for 365 days in the year. So this kind
OF division OF labor hadn't much to
recommend it, from the woman's

Domestic Ignorance n Disgrace.

really likes to wash dishes. and l
can see no reason why women should
like il any better than men, But II
is certainly a disgrace for any adult
not to know how to wash dishes and
for the moment. that may seem TO be
ones job. And this is a husband s
job now and then in almost every
home that I can think Of.
Homes where all the drudgery is
performed by servants are numeri-
eaiIy few in proportion to the rest
of the population And even in that
class of society one hears idle women
with frightened faces asking each
other where the servants of the fu-
servant supply IS giving out.
But in the bulk OF American homes
the work has TO be done without out
side help. And there is usually more
of II than one woman can do alone.
particularly If she is an intelligent
mother and takes conscientious care
OF her children. This is what the
present day husband has come TO IN
derstand. He may feel tired at night
when the evening meal is over.
But IL is a fairly safe guess that
his wife is still more tired. So. with

helps her get the kitchen in order be-

utterly useless masculine dignity and
to take a share in family life like

their boys in new way If a y year
