In former days, mothers lay awake
mt night trying TO devise ways 70 pro-
tcct their innocent little daughters
against the wies Of bold, bad, wicked
men. Nowadays, the thing that gives
mothers insomnia is attempting 10 dope
out some method Of safeguarding
vamping OF flnppcrs.
At least that was the consensus Of the
opinion Of several mothers clubs which
have rec emily held sessions, and which
turned in an almost unanimous verdict
indicting the modern young girl az the
villain OF society. They declared that
she was responsible for the present day
immodest dress, for the prevalence OF
"petting parties" and that she melted
the boys TO Joy rides, and extravaganza,
and all manner OF foolishness, and that
no. mothers little male lamb was safe
with her.
That's right, blame all the boys
faults on the girls. Teach your boys to
hide behind the nearest skirt, and put
| up the old Adamite excuse, "The woman
thou gavest meShe did IT,"
| But how silly, and how unjust, TO lay
all the follies Of the youth of today at
the girls door, for there is no mature
woman, who has seen anything OF life,
who does not know that women are
what men make them, and that every
girl spends her life trying to look, and
dress, and act 80 as TO please men.
Women accept men as they are, be-
cause they have TO, for men are literally
the lords Of creation. A man does not
have to adapt himself to women. He is
not compelled TO dress TO please their
tastes He does not have TO shape his
manners according TO their ideals He
does not have to feign an interest in their
pursuits. He does not have 10 put up
with female bores, nor dance with fat
ladies who step all over his feet, and
muss up his clothes.
Because il one woman doesn't like
his looks, and his manners, he can hunt
up another one who is less critical He
can pick and choose among women, and
make his own selection instead Of having
10 take what's offered to him. He doesn't

Maclyn Arbuckle for Hero.

After Vaughan Kester had COM
pleted his world-famous novel The
Prodigal Judge" there was much
talk of dramatizing it, and Mr.. kes-
ter was asked his opinion as to the
best American actor for portraylng
the role of the prodigal judge. Mr..
Hester agreed that no one other than
Maclyn Arbuckle, the famous stage
actor, whose successes include The
County Chairman and Daddy
Dumping" could portray the role
as it should be played. He was the
ideal type and living embodiment OF
the Judge. When Vitagraph decided
to visualize this world famous move:
naturally Maclyn Arbuckle was Sc
lected for the role of the Judge.
When someone asked him if he
could play the role he replied: u
cannot play it for l am the judge"
And certainly those who have wit
messed his portrayal Of the character
will agree that Maclyn Arbuckle is
the Judge in reality. Not once dur
ing the film does he appear to be
acting. he lives and breathea every
scene.
