The mere detail that the lad turned
out to be a comedian instead of a
Booth IS beneath consideration.
At any rate. the Six-year-old Ernes ST
was nothing loath TO be made a Booth
of. and when Melvin organized a dra-
matte school young Truck enrolled.
Edwin Melvin was a relic of the
old, old school. He was sick and
weary, but he was sort Of an artist
He knew the methods OF Booth and
the tricks, If tricks there were any.
He gave dark, somber, but invalu-
able store of knowledge and CLEANED
experience to the young Truck, whom
he had at seven strutting the boards
as Hamlet.

And then some manager saw him,

story of a long but steady uphill

Now, below the low-water mark of
thirty-five, he is playing on Broad

some years. and has effected a sine

Gotham, both speakily and screen

He speaks with perfervor of Chap
lin, and says that his highest ambi-
tion is to be IAN intellectual Chap
lin" Not that Chaplin is not intel
lectual for he is, but to play without
the impedimenta of comedy, the mus
tache, the shoes, ct cetera.
Thus a comedian.

children suffer for their mistakes
One but wishes to impress the error
of their way and point to the better
one. That is not done by harshness
and long-drawn-out coldnesS and
isolation.
If things are as they should be be-
tween children and parents, a short
separation, an hour apart, a meal
alone, a lonely afternoon in the house
while the others went on their trip,
will be quite sufficient to mark dis
approval and give the children a
chance to appreciate that they have
been wrong.
Then let the making-up time come
promptly. Don't let it drag into the
next day and spoil it. Every day
brings it's own troubles for you and
them. Let the day end with a clean
slate and smile of hope for the day
to come.
Send the child to sleep with your
benediction.

ny ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

The tailored suit without accesor-
ies is like roast lamb without mint
sauce-nourishing. substantial, use
full. but lacking in piquancy.
Doubtless the reason, or at least
one of the contributory reasons. why
the tailored suit has been in such
long allegiance is that we had given
up the habit Of multitudinous access
Sories. Primarily, OF course, the tai
lored suit went by the boards as far
as womens clothes were concerned
because the men tailors in France
went to war. Women had not gone
through the long apprenticeship
needed to make q good tailor so they
substituted the one-piece frock and
the cape as the uniform for women.
The war had something to do with
the abandonment of the separate ac-
cessory. AS a matter of economy. both
of time and money, women preferred
not to have to bother with separate
belts, collars, cuffs, jabots. neckttes.
needed to give the tailored suit zest.
Now the stage seems to be set Tor
the return of the tailored suit. Time
enough has elapsed for the training
of new tailors to fill the places OF the
industrious little men. who never
came back to sit cross-legged on the
tailor'S table. And we have leisure
and pin money enough for accessor-
les.
In France, O'Rossen is supplying
very discriminating demand for
straight. severe tailor-made suits, ana
these are invariably worn with neat
organdie collars and cuffs. The collar
difficult is the wearing of the tailored
suits always. Comfortable but always
difficult is the wearing of tailored
Jacket with d collarless blouse. The
regulation notch-collar does not rest
with smartnesS against bare skin. so
the success of the conventional tai
lored suits-predicted for the au,
tumn-will undoubtedly be measured
by the Willingness of smart women TO
put up with the high -collared blouse
or some sort Of stock. Clever heads
have been intent on the question OF
deyising these stocks that Will be
both smart and comfortable. and the
smart shops are already showing IN
teresting "stock-scarfs."
Alpaca is a good choice for the tai
lored suit in warm weather. For au-
tumn choose one of the twills.

The Days End.

The end of the day should leave the
children with a clean slate and a
fresh start for the morning. Each
day should begin as a new one with
no leftover breads or haunting
failures.
No matter what difficulties may
have arisen during the day, no mat<er
how troublesome or naughty they
may have been, the days end must
bring confession and forgiveness, the
sun must set in smiles for the chill
dren.
What good will it do to send them
to bed grieving? They may fall into
dreams and rise in the morning
frightened and weary to meet the
trials of another day.
Trials" is the right word, for a
child feels his difficulties and his
failures quite as keenly as grown
they feel them more. because they
have not the experience, the philoso-
ply or the callousness of the adult
to support them.
Grown people can say. ooh. well,
to-morrow.s another dayi There's no
try again." while the children are
more likely to feel that a failure is

an eternal barrier.
For that reason the close of the
day must see all scores wiped away
with the repentant sinners tears.
1t is not fair to send a sinner to
bed supperless and friendless with no
kindly emissary to steal up with a
prodigals plate and a message of
forgiveness.
Let not the sun sgo down upon
your wrath" must have a special
significance for parents. The sooner
the mistake has been explained and
forgiven the better.
Time makes it harder for either
side to speak and petty things-that
a word and a pat might have wiped
away in an instant-are carried over
until they assume tremendous impoF-
tance and divide the children from
their parents.
After all, one does not wish to make

couldn't without going right out in

So he sat down just on the edge
