Played in Knickers

Newton Mass, May 2S.-'And to
think he did it in those knickers."
That was the remark of a proud
mother today when she received word
that her % year old son, Fred Wright
had gone down fighting in an extra
hole match, the last American in
the amateur golfing word-the Brit
ish amateur championship.
Mrs. Wright went on to explain:
Freddie never wanted to wear
knickerbocks, although he had played
golf in knee breeches as boy he
would not wear Knockers when the
ether young men took to the style.
Freddie is tall and lanky and prefer
red trousers. He stuck to them until
he began to prepare for his trip
abroad. Then his sister told him he
ought to dc in England as the English
do-wear knickerboekers-a so he
took them"
Mrs. Wright was disappointed that
her boy had been defeated and asked
who his opponent was. He must have
been an older man, she said. She re-
called how Fred came by his golfing
fRnCMleuSe WHen as Il ldu ne shipped
away from home to caddy at nearby
links. Notwithstanding parental OBJ
iections that he was too young to
carry a heavy bag of clubs.
The Bellmcnt Springs Country club
sent Wright a cable today telling
him of his election as honorary MEM
her of the club.

Wright, Of Boston, last Of the Ameri-

Merely Mary Ann" by Israel

wright, has been selected by the
senior class of the Olympia high
school as their class play and will be
presented Frida ynight, May 81.
Ruth Royal will take the part OF
MARY Ann, Merely" and Charles
Sternberg is cast as the composer,
Bertram Lancelot.
The play tself is portrayal of life
in the lower classes in the great me-
tropols of England, London. De-
mure little Mary Ann is slavey In
the boarding house of Mrs. Leadbet-
ter, hot-tempered Cockney landlady
and Lancelot is her fairy prince
Lancelot, the composer, the poor
penniless genius, the only one in the
whole house who treats Mary Ann
with any degree of kindness, is on the
road to pauperism when the play
opens.
The two are practically imprisoned
in the gloomy clearinghouse. Mary
Ann earns mere pittance, and
Lancelot, who cannot sell any of his
musical compositions, is without one
penny. Is there any hope for them
Can they ever leave that depressing

Missing Maidens

More than $1,000 girls we're re-
ported disappeared" last year in
America. Doubtless a majority of
them merely answered the call of sex
and left the old home and family ties
of their own volition. At the same
time this is a heavy toll to be taken
from the roll of known and numbered
and placed in the column Of the miss
ing. Books and plays have been writ
ten about why girls leave home;
but there is no break in the outgoing
procession. Taking the country as a
whole, more than 200 young women
disappear from their usual haunts
every day in the year. A generation
ago the complete disappearance Of
any girl of good parentage might be-
come a countrywide sensation. Now
the belle Of the town may absolutely
disappear without leaving much more
than a ripple. She has either run
away with a sweetheart, gone to the
big city for career or sought a job
in the movies. In either case she has
seen fit to sever the family tie and
possibly take another name. But
there is still an army Of lost ones
who are not so favored and have
passed forever from the recognition
of their kindred. 1t is to lessen this
sad toll that reclamation measures
are now sought and desired. Can
every mother answer the question:
where is Mary tonight?" II the
parents were of the old-fashioned kind
they would keep cases on Mary bit
better. Mary isn't wild, but maybe
she is lonesome. Directly or indirect
ly the parents are themselves to blame
for at least half of this shocking toll
of missing maidens.-Los Angeles
Times.
