There is a serious outbreak OF
trouseritis among women.
The men blame this on to the fact
tnat somebody once said trousers were
daring" and now women find them
an ever recurring temptation.
Certain it is that wherever women
are permitted to don the basic bifur-
cations you seek in vain for skirt.
At all the recent fancy-dress balls, in
tle newest reviews and in the latest
trocks women go trousered, therefore
happy.
At the victory ball girls were dress

knitted-woo'ens which you'll never
wear, or making vows of eternal
hrmespun which you'll never keep.
It's very difficult. Of course, it's
not that we don't like parsons-we
Just dote on them in the pulpit but
the people don't pay enough to keep
them there. And it is narrowing to
think that some of those curates who
tell you such soulful things every Sun

to keep the home fires burning.

LONDON, Sept S.-With five first
nights last week and five more during
the current week, London's theatrical
season is opening in a blaze of color
and extravaganza unequalled since pre-
war days. "Chu Chin Chow" still
holds the stage at His Maiestys Thea
tire, commencing its fourth year run.
Despite the outspoken opposition of
the British playwrlghts the American
play still predominates, although sew
eral new all-British productions are
making their appearance. TOO Many
Cooks" late Of New York, IS finishing
a short and unsuccessful two weeks
run at the Savoy Theatre to make room
for Robert Lorraine in the always pop
ular "Cyrauo &c Bcrgerac,' but among
the opening productions many are writ
ten or produced by Americans
There is apparently no prospect OF
an actors strike here, as managers and
actors have agreed upon mutually sat
isfactory terms the secretary of the
Actors Association, which corresponds
to the Equity in New York, has de-
clared that there is no possibility of
strike, as all classes of actors, includ-
ing the chorus girls, are we'll satisfied.

George, it seems to US that Reed may

in the theatre. lie has q distinct gift
for recording true talk. His charac-
ters talk as people do. This, how
ever, Is a handicap rather than an as
set in the form which he has chosen
for his first play. "She Would and
She Did" is light comedy, the light
est, perhaps, which New York has
seen in years, and in such a. play the
characters cannot afford to talk as
real persons do. They must talk much
better. We will not say that it Is I'M
possible to write q naturalistlc light
comedy effectively, but at least it is
very difficult. At the moment We can
think of not. one. Certainly all the
American authors who have succeeded
IN light comedy have adopted far
different method. Langdon Mitchell's
II he New York Idea" for instance, is
definitely founded on the scheme OF
making every single person in the play
a brilliant conversatlonalist. 1t is an
enormously amusing play, but | think
few will contend that it has more than
passing resem blance to life.

In another respect it seems to u5
that "She Would and She Did" fails
Of the requirements Of light comedy
Certainly light comedy should be
agreeable, and Reeds heroine. in spite
of the charm which Miss George is
able to bring to the role, seems to US
to be thoroughly Objectionable per-
sem She is definitely bad sport and
her methods of campaign are all Of
the lowest grade. Her weapons are
trickery, cajolery and bribery. We
have seen enough Of women in politics
to feel that the portrait is by no means
typical.

Alexander Woollcott, author Of
The Command Is Forward Century,
an excellent book, mentions Clare
Runners Good Gracious. Annabelle'
and "a Successful Calamity" as pieces
of quality rather similar to She
Would and She Did" This seems to
us a singularly inept comparison. The
charm Of the Hummer pieces rested
wholly on the sponsibility of what
everybody said and did This was car
ried to the point of fantasy. "She
Would and She. Did" has nothing of
the fantastic quality. 1t is decidedly
literal. 1t could very we'll happen as
written. but it is too dull to. be good
light comedy and much too limited in
subject to be comedy.

High School is dividend paving

are more and more making educa-

After his arrest hundreds of men
and women tried to take him away
from the police. Reserves had to
be called out. Policemen were
struck and beaten, their clothing
almost torn from their bodies. This

crowd becomes mob. II is a
dangerous thing-a reaction from
The long restraint we put upon our
selves through the war period, and
letting so of the things that make
us civilized and make for orderly
government. The good citizen must
now, as never before, realize that
government means Self-repression
In action. Unless there can be
orderly processes in relations,
there is no government and no
civil liberty.
This same thing is manifesting
itself among us to the extent of
making us freer in our gossip and
IN our habits and insinuations
against others. Let this keep on
growing. and the thing will trans
late itself into more dangerous,
though not more damnable, crime.

THE LEAGUE OF NOTIONS.

An arrangement whereby the
peoples Of all lands might get into
such relations that war should be
no more has been the ideal and
dream of many generations of men.
When tribes began to emerge united
as nations and the peoples of the
world began TO find orderly gov
eminent better than having clan
and tribe fighting for existence,
men began TO dream of time when
nation should no longer be arrayed
against nation.
For the first time in the long his
tory of the world the realization Of
this dream and hope has become a
possibility. The League of Nations
Is an attempt to realize the highest
ideals Of the best thinkers Of all
time. 1t will be realized as an ac-
complished fact unless the league
OF notions in the United States Sem
ate, under the leadership of Lodge
and his fellow partisans, bring
about its defeat. They have moth
ing to offer in its place save only
the old race for armament, the old
system of numbering men i'm war.
Yet their notions, mostly sprung
from pure partisan broth, dis
cussed and preached with the semi
rcverent attitude Of one who would
make lie persuade, are likely to
defeat the hope Of the world
But we doubt if they will. for
men who are not moved by high
motives are towards at heart. 1t is

United States Senators will not

But their little selves will haunt
some who have the opportunity TO

ON OUR WAY.

The High School bond issue cleo
ton in Frankford district, on the
14th, carried by a very large ma
jority. The section in which this
election was held has for its popu-
lation a conservative farming po-
pulation. Most of them are opposed
10 debt, and hate debt as a per-
sonal and bitter enemy. That does
not mean, however, that they are
opposed to making investments on
credit when they can see certain
returns on the investment. And SO
they have viewed the bond issue
for High School. They borrowed
money TO invest in better and
stronger citizenship. They can see
this investment earning dividends
in the way of better education and
trained citizens in the days to come.

WAGES AND HIGH COST OF LIVING,

1t must be Self-cvidcnt to those
who think bit that the margin be-
tween living cost and wage income
cannot be increased, taking the
country as a whole, except and I'M
less labor increases its usefulness
produces more. II must also be
Sejf-evidcnt that an increase in
wage, without corresponding in
crease in production. must increase
corrcspondingly the cost OF pro-
Huction and therefore the cost Of
living. Organizations that have
Tor their aim shorter hours or
higher wage have also for their OBJ
Ject the increase Of cost of living
unless such organizations also en-
courage labor 10 increase its pro-
ductiOn.
me fact of the matter is that the
Oh tIme Wholesome desire on the
part OF the man who works to make
himself invaluable TO his EMPLOYER
by rendering faithful and efficient
service has largely disappeared.
There were abuses then, of course.
Tor labor was exploited in too many
cases Because Of this mistreat-
ment OF labor, unions became nee
cssary. But in the long fight for
shorter hours and higher wages it
mas happened that labor has TOO
much lost sight Of its obligations.
Labor has turned the tables now
ana has begun to exploit, not capi-
tai, but society. And society does
not however, approve reduced
hours for labor. nor reduced wages.
III does want increased efficiency.
and an increasing desire TO serve.
II wants labor 10 be worthy of IFS
hire. For most labor is entirely
able largely TO increase its produc-
ton, and that without hurt or harm.
The war between capital and labor
has at last changed the views of
cpital. But in the process Of bring
ing about this, labor has gotten
wrong conceptions. And until
TABOR reforms its philosophy social
uHrcst under labor's exploitation of
society must be expected.
