ment, as the crest Of a wave Of resist
ance to the clerical reaction which in
1901-1905 swept the peninsula"
Kipling is the abderite who declared
positively that "for success It does
not matter what you write, provided
you know when to write it," Never
did an author know better than the
author of Electra" how to seize the
psychological moment.
A young woman of a rich and aris-
tocratic house had by her own wish
entered oloister from which her
family wished to free her. Instantly
all the forces of clericism and anti
clericism of Spain were focused on
this attempt to rob the church of n
bride. This was the crux of Galdos's
play, and 1t was produced in Madrid
in the height of the struggle between
the almost equally matched contest
ants. Instantly the play was hailed
as the programme of the anti-clerical
party. The bishops in an encyclical
banned 1t for the faithful and put the
published book of the play on the In
dex. OF course this served as a tre-
mendous advertisement. Equally, Of
course, every theatre in Spain and
Portugal begged for the rights to pre-
sent it. The piece was quickly done
in Paris and Rome and travelled as
far as Russia. Its success outside of
its authors country was not so un-
equivocal. The theme did not present
everywhere the same interest, and
fault was found with the construction
of the piece.
Success at Last.
Galdos who had waited so long for
an overwhelming popular success Che
was approaching 6o). had one at last
His royalties from this piece alone
should have raised him for life out
of the reach of want, and the royalties
from the sales of the play in book
form were placed at a high estimate
Unhappily. he was accused by the cler'
ical party of turning his country's dis
sensions into coin, and, proud as g
Spaniard is in the proverb, he turned
all the receipts of the play over tC
| the poor of Madrid, saying that he
would be contented with the royalty
from the book. Unfortunately, the
Spanish people do not read, or If they
| do they read borrowed books.
IN spite of the success of Electra
and some other dramas by Galdos
| like "The Duchess of San Quentin
the drama occupies a comparatively
small place in Galdos's prolific work
From the first of his romances a plar
was trsced out which he has re-
;igiously followed. They are historical
omances, wherein he shows us the
political formation of contemporary
Spain. it's resistance to foreign domin-
alton represented by Napoleon, then its
resistance to the clerical reaction OF
the Bourbons, of which Carlism has
proved so bloody a phase. He by nc
means limits his canvas to the cour'
circle, but studies the people will
equal care and with happier results
The French critics say that in thest
latter episodes he recalls the simplicity
| and directness of their own Alsatiar
twins, Erckmann-C -Chatrian.
AS with most series, grandiose ir
scope, these political romances of Gal
dos which carry his people sometimes
through thirty volumes, have the faul
of forgetting to tell the reader of, say
the thirtieth, where the antecedents o.
a character are to be found. And some

FOYERS IN FRANCE.

-Four departments of the French
Government have asked the American
Y. w. G. A. to open social and recrea-
ton centers for girls employed by
them-Finance, Commerce, War and
Labor.
Lieutenant Poncet of the Ministry
of Labor recently requested that this
Y. w. c. A. work be begun for girls in
his offices after seeing the social and
recreation centers which had been
opened at the request of the Ministry
Of War. Sixteen centers of this kind
are operated in six cities in France.
Three of them ire in Paris.
The last of these Foyers des Alliees
is for girls who are working in the De-
partment of Labor. 1t is far down the
Seine, under the shadow of the Eiffel
Tower, and overlooks the Quai d'Orsay.
The rooms are bright and cheerful,
with chintz hangings and cushions,
comfortable chairs, reading and writ
ing tables and a fireplace. A kitchen
has equipment so that girls can pre-
pare meals for themselves. They go
to the foyer for their two hour lunch
con time. for social evenings and for
classes in English.

NURSES D WILD
WEST PICTURE SHOW

Entertain Roumanian Countess at
American Show In France.
Picture shows are being put on in
France without cameras, enc or
any of the necessary properties, ac-
cording to reports reaching the Ma
tional Y. w. c. A. from a Y. w. G. A.
nurses hut in a Base Hospital.
Having no film or camera, the
nurses at Base decided to put on a
living picture show and invited a
group Of nurses from a nearby hos
rital to be the audience. It was a
real thriller, one of the wild and WOOL
ly west variety, with bucking bron-
chocs and wild rides on broom and
mop horses.

100000 N ARE
Y. w. C.. A. VISITORS

Four hundred thousand persons and
more served in the cafeteria in one
year is the record of the Y. w. C. \.
Hostess House at Camp Lewis, Amer
lean Lake, Wash.
The majority Of the 100000 diners
were mothers, wives, s~weethearts and
friends who went to the camp to visit
their soldiers. The remainder were
soldiers themselves who broke the mo-
notony of "chow" with home cooked
meals. In addition to all these guests,
$4,000 little children were cared for in
the nursery and the rest room served
10000 tired wives and mothers.
The workers at the information
desk received and answered $1,000
questions varying from how to get the
best connections to a destination clear
across the continent, the rates of SOL
diers' insurance and the kind of Gre
tonne a girl bride should have in her
living room now that Private John is
coming home from France. Eleven
thousand Of these queries required tel
ephone conversations with various
company commanders relative to hunt
ing up a soldier whose parents had ar
rived unexpectedly.

Abundant Testimony a. t Splendid
Work They Have Done In Eng.
land Since War Started.

How E%ngland's women police have
developed into a real force for the
maintenance of order and public NOR
ality has appeared in the report of
Miss Goldingham. deputy comman-
dant Of the women police service, at a
meeting in Richmond, where the es-
tablishment of such a force was under
discussion.
She said that these forces had been
formed from voluntary workers early
In the war. as a means of helping
refugees and young English girls and
boys who were in need of cid or ad-
vice. In three and a half years 1000
women have been trained for the
work and have found appointments.
At present women are policing 20
munition factories, where they per-
form all the duties, practically, that
could be expected of masculine police.
The women's police service has also
supplied police for 18 towns, in four

INSIGNIA, CURTAINS.
A D FROM SKIRTS

Blue broadcloth skirts used for or
ganization insignia and plaid summer
dresses reconstructed into window cur
tains are after war economies of the
nine Y. W.. G. A. secretaries in Arch
angel, Russia.
These secretaries have just succeed
ed, in the face Of food and cloth short
ages, in opening a Y. w. c. A. Hostess
House for American troops stationed
in Archangel, a town behind the allied
lines. 1t was necessary to hunt up a
wolfe summer dress which one of the
secretaries had discarded for heavy
winter clothes in order to have cur
tains at the windows. They live on
regulation army rations.
Archangel is the fourth city in Rus
STA where the Y. w. G. A. has estab-
]ished work. Centers were opened
first In Petrograd and Moscow and
then in Samara, 900 miles eastward
from Moscow.

Y. w. c. A. Saves Wife Of General
From Becoming charwoman.
When the war work Of the Y. w. c.
A. in Russia has all been told one of
the most interesting stories will lie in
the establishment of the first Women's
Cooperative Association at Moscow.
There day after day p%rincesses work
side by side with peasant girls, wives
of high Russian officials make dresses
or trim hats at long tables with simple,
unlettered women, and the money is
used for self support Of these prin-
cesses and notable women as well as
for the peasant classes.
The need and suffering throughout
all Russia was so great at the time
the Association was established that
it was a problem to find where the
money would help the greatest num-
Der OF people. 1t was thought best to
expend it to help capitalize organiza-
tons for giving work and permanent
opportunities to families and indiyidu-
ais to earn their own living.
The women bring their handiwork
to the Association for sale or take or
ders to do dressmaking, millinery, etc,
i'll the rooms of the society or at home.
Suitable work was found just in time
not long ago to keep the wife Of one of
Russians greatest generals from going
out as a charwOman to earn bread for
her husband, who was Ill.
