Y. M. C. A. BREAKFAST
 POPULAR WITH MEN

The home cooked breakfast at the
 local Y. M. c. A. could not be more
 popular with the men of the service,
 and Sunday morning 69 enjoyed the
 morning meal, which consisted of
 escalloped potatoes, stuffed eggs, bread
 and butter, coff3e and doughnuts. The
 serving was done by members of the
 "Y" auxiliary and several young ladies
 and this part of the affair was much
 appreciated. The brief talk was given
 by Shepard B. Palmer, who is mem
 Der of the United States housing coTn-
 mittee. MT. Palmer told of visits to
 Washington to attend conferences in
 the interests of the matter of housing
 the large number of intuition workers
 and others in large centers; he told
 of sign on the wall of the large
 headquarters of the housing commit
 tee, which read Bow your heads at
 the noon hour and pray for our brave
 boys in the service. over there and over here" It was a very impressive
 sign, said the speaker, but even more
 impressive was what happened at F o'clock. The sound of chimes was heard and one of the members of the committee arose and said: Men, this is the time for all of us to bow in prayer and remember all of our boys in the service" Immediately all the typewriters ceased their clicking all ! conversation was stopped, and it was as quiet as midnight while every lady and gentleman in that large suite of
 rooms reverentiy bowed their heads. It
 was the more significant because it was not in a church but a part of the government machinery. One other thing I want to cali your attention to is the fact that the whole thought of what constitutes greatness has changed. Charles M. Schwab, one of the greatest men ir industry in Amer ica, in recent address to a large group of 1aboring men said: q am called very rich man, and I am a rich man, but my riches never made me happy. My happineS is secured by the service l am trying to render to | my country and to my fellow men, and then MT. Schwab gave utteEance to a great thought when he said: The ariStocracy of the future will be com posed of those who serve humanity" Let this soak into your minds, boys, and remember that we can all be mem bers of the real aristocracy in the coming days The speaker was hearti- ly applauded. Secretary Hill asked all present to bow while MT. Palmer of fered special prayer for the families of those boys who had passed away either from being killed in battle or accident or from the prevailing cpl demie. Pretty flowers were sent in by kind friends and these made the lobby attractive.

 Other cities, however, have had to give up similar plans for the same reason. The seriousness of the Span ish influenza epidemic has greatly re- tarded the progress of the Liberty loan campaign. While everyone is anxious ly awaiting 8 decided improvement in the general health situation here, the women's committee have been work ing hard but cautiously.

By Ralph Block

If every one in the world were a mys
tic, life would be a tremendously COM
Portable affair 1t is true there might
not be so many material comforts, but
there would be more than enough opti-
mism and faith in the general goodness
of things to make up for it. There
would be fewer bathrooms, for instance.
because everybody would agree that
cleanliness is thing of the soul rather
than of the body A mystic is not
so much a person who doesn't believe
in the evidence of his senses as a per-
son who doesn't believe that the evil
dence of his senses is conclusive. All
appearances for him are more than
they seem. He is convinced there are
souls hiding bashfully behind every
fact, waiting to be found. You can do
a lot of things with and-seek
philosophy of that kind and get away
with it. The facts in any given case
are always the least Of your troubles
/ They really don't count.
1t happens, however, in a world that
has been running a good many CEN
turtles that some facts have so well
established themselves that it's almost
| impossible to get around and behind
them. In "The Bluebird" Maeterlinck
didn't have any trouble at all being
mystical about the hunt for happiness
1t is such general conception, Happi-
ness, that almost anything can be said
about it and find acceptance Happi-
ness will be found where it is least
expected; hunt happiness and you will
find 1t where you began your journey;
happiness lives within you-a hundred
! thousand good axioms can be tossed
oft about happiness at a moments no
tice and all of them be good And
these general assertions are all the
kind that lend themselves well to
symbolism, which thrives on general
assertions. In fact, symbolism actually
is nothing more than turning general
assertion into particular thing. SO
mysticism and symbolism go hand in
hand.
In "The Betrothal," which Winthrop
Ames is presenting at the Shubert
Theatre, the mysticism doesn't have
such easy sailing. Nobody really and
truly knows anything definite about
happiness, so anything can be said
about it, 1t is equally true that very
few people know anything about mar
rage, but lot of people have expe-
rienced it and have definite ideas about
1T, based on their experience Mar
rage is an institution for the perpet-
uation of the state; marriage is fight
without rules between the sexes; mar
rage is gamble between the inner
tied instincts of two human beings and
their environments. These are all
axloms based on a certain amount OF
definite experience.

Optimistic on Ancient
Problem in The BetrothaP

Macterlinck does his best to give all
these deductions deathblow. In
marriage, declares the mystical plav-
wright, there is one true way which
you must believe lies behind all the
facts. To have a perfect union
sweet, amiable co-partnership. all YOU
have to do is to find out what that
true way is. It's there waiting for
you; it is your own fault if you miss
it. Go and consult your ancestors and
don't forget what might be the proud
ambitions of your stilI-to-be-be gotten
descendants
1t is very pretty and very comfort.
ing. Believing sweetly in the ultimate
good Of things is always comforting
All SWANS should see the play. 1t will
encourage them greatly. 1t may be
hoped, however, that not every one will
believe it. If it turns out that there
isn't really any war of the sexes what
will become Of the drama?
Il is clear, therefore, that to have
good time at "The Betrothar'-
which you will not fail to do in view
of the children and the very fine imagi-
native landscapes OF the soul--you have
to forget the kind of world you live in.
Outside of the theatre, it is little
hard being a mystic. The facts have
habit Of getting in the way.

Camp Merritt Show
Is Proud of Its
Beauty Chorus

A score Of pretty maidens we're
needed, but where in Camp Merritt
were they to be found? Detachment
after detachment was secured, but alas!
nary a gal was Forthcoming for Camp
Merritt's big soldier show Good Luck,
SAM" which will open at the Lexing-
ton Theatre tomorrow. Whereupon
Coach Frank Lea Short went through
the camp on girl quest, and his report
was that among the varied assortments
of husky soldiers in camp there were
plenty of even-featured lads who could
be transformed into maidens fair Re-
suit: Good Luck, SAM" has so stun
ming a girl chorus that unless some
one tips you off it is not at all unlikely
that on meeting them you will frame a
half-dozen or more mental marriage
proposals.
Oh, yes! yes! there is something
further that you must know about that
girl chorus. At first the soldier boys
baked when it was proposed that they
take off their khaki buds for the fluffy
silks and laces of the chorus girl But
when they saw what fun it was to skip
around like Polly of the Follies, there
were more requests for places in the
girl chorus than there are headaches
in the Kaiser's family. And the poor
coach had to devote a good portion of
his day to keeping the chorus down to
working size Time and again soldier
boy asplrants for chorus lady honors
would sneak into the chorus, and once
they put their dainty boomers on and
discovered how much more fun it was
to do pirouettes than to do guard duty
it required the combined efforts of g
few dozen sergeants and score of
lieutenants to yank them out again
One of those who had to be told that
he was not chorus-girl material was 8
toothless fireman.
Outside of military band, a jazz
band and an orchestra, GOOD Luck
Sam!" carries no musicians with it.
BY the way, have you ever witnessed
court martial proceedings? No? Well
in the third act of Good Luck, Sam!'

stealing a lieutenant's girl.

"The Betrotha' is not as good
play as "The Bluebird." but it seemed
to US a much more beautiful produc
ton. The stage pictures revealed at
the Shubert Theatre are among the
most thrilling which New York has
seen, and they are neither cumbersome
nor heavy. Better yet, in spite of the
marvels which they provide for the
eye, i cannot be said that they ever
turn attention away from the story to
its detriment AS matter of fact, the
scenes possess not only beauty, but
harmony.
