and a struggle against repressions
The staging OF such play as this
| one is no slight undertaking. There
are three men concerned in this ell
terprise, each of whom can qualify
as thorough dramatic tactician
William A. Brady. Willard Mack and
Lester Lonergan. The result at
tanned would suggest a tripartite
agreement in the matter of co-ordi-
mated effort.
The central thought of the play
is expressed in the role of Stephen
Ashe. taken by Mr.. Lonergan. Ashe
is an advocate of absolute social
freedom. with personal conscience
as the only guide. His daughter in
her admiring devotion learns his
lessons far too easily and applies
the teaching even in the face of the
angry protests of her husband. The
Lonergan character has the added
interest of a study IN moral recov-
cry; a. biiliant lawyer destroyed by
dissipation who makes q last and
triumphant stand 10 rescue a loved
one from. the penalty OF the law.
Alter redecniing 50 many years OF
wasted life. in one splendid hour of
effort this brilliant figure cvadcs any
suggestion of q trite and enthusiastic
union all round. He sinks into his
chair apparently sleeping peacefully.
The discovery that he is dead is
managed with artistic restraint and
becomes proportionatc part OF .
story whose first claim 10 consid-
GRAFTON is its effort 10 avoid arfi-
fetal, agitafions. TO remain, however
tense. always natural.
Protests have arisen from time 10
time against curtain calls. The abb
surdity of reviying hero who has
met death in the drama TO come for
ward either alone or in the group
with smiling acknowledgements has
frequently been pointed out. Yet
no producer has had the adaman-
tine heart TO deprive the player of
an opportunity 70 identify himself in
the eyes of an admiring throng. But
plays ct the present are so con-
structed and so rehearsed that the
applause almost invariably waits un-
I'll the end OF the act. When Mr..
Brady was fguring as a star in such
plays IS Under the Gaslight," APP
pause was sought by Evolutionary
energy and even by mechanical de-
vices At every point in the action.
Mingled laughter and applause
was considered a fair recipe and the
struggle for soplething particularly
grand on which 10 bring down the
curtain was often palpable, but un-
resented. Now the true dramatic
expert Seus himself as an applause
dodger and plays the game on ex-
pert lines by seeking 10 hold in

Drama Again Declares

ciai star whose lonesomeness seemed
appropriate 10 the season of Joyous
sentiment. The theater at present
is not an expression of the Christ

arena in late December as at any
other time of the year and does not
hold a secure place in competition
with the streets and the shops.
One of the most important new
productions was brought 10 this city
by William Al. Brady. Mr.. Brady
has been involved in more or less
responsibility for compelling police

fessionaliy in the moral and ethical
aspect of the metropolitan drama.
8 The title "A Free Soul" might hint
10 those who have not read Adeia
St. Johns novel of another expert
1nent in which society is dehed and a
spirit Of domestic independence as
serted. This drama is a description
OF such an attitude toward life, but
attempts no championship of the
wiiifuIness that underlies much cur

trimmed with printed material of
blue, rose, and black, on white back
ground. The collar and the trimming
on the pockets carry out the scalloped
design of the front. Slashes at right
angles to the armhole in both front
and back give yoke effect and are
means of adding fullness. Set-in
sleeves are required for this style.
Straight-legged panties to match rath-
er than boomers are used. They add
to the simplicity Of the whole effect.
They may be made by taking enough
width from the bloomer pattern so
that no gathers are required. Any com.
mercial bloomer dress pattern with
set-in sleeves and plain shoulder may
be adapted to this style by simply cut
ting extra width toward the underarm
seam from the point where the slash
is made.
Little dresses that open down the
front are so easy to put on and take
off that they can be planned for very
tiny girls between two and three who
are learning to dress themselves. Like
oil coat-style dresses, this one is easily

A few new school dresses are need
ed by every child in the fall, whether
because of unexpected growth during
vacation, or because of a depleted
wardrobe, or just because most little
girls love new and pretty things,

class with a new teacher, and perhaps
some other new conditions.

Keep Plants Healthy by Frequent Bathing

MANY women do not realize that
their indoor plants need baths almost
as often as do their children. If they
are to thrive" declares Prof. O. A.
Johannsen af the entomology depart
ment af the Cornell university.
"Plants as well as persons need reg
ular cleansing to keep them healthy.
Some sort of spray must be used at
fairly regular intervals to kill the in
sect parasites which constantly infest
them.
"Plant lice are especially common
and threaten all varieties of growth.
They attach their little white eggs to
the under veins of the leaves, and the
parasites suck out the juices from the
stems and stalks. The plants, thus
robbed of their nourishment, soon turn
pale yellow and die.
"One of the best home treatments
for plants, not only because it is
cheap and accessible, but also because
1t is effective, is soap solution, which
can be made at home In five minutes"
This solution Is made by shaving
quarter of pound of soap or putting
a quarter of pound of soap chips in.

A boy wants room sufficiently at
tractive to bring his friends to, and
sufficiently plain to seem masculine and
businesslike. He will leave all the pas
tel colors, fussy draperies and light
weight, decorative furniture to his sis
ter, in favor of surroundings that will
stand little friendly "rough-house'' or
pillow fighting once in while, and re-
quire very little care or attention. A
good many boys enjoy the feeling Of
order and neatness about them, but at
the same time they are quite likely to
throw themselves down on couch or
bed to read or study without thinking
to remove their dusty boots. A
"dressed-up" looking bed that prevents
boy from using it in this way may
be enough to keep him out of his
room entirely.

TRAPPING HOUSE
FLIES MADE EASY
Logical Method of Control Is
to Preuent Breeding.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
While the logical method of fly con-
troll is to prevent the multiplication
of these pests by proper disposal of
or treatment of their breeding places,
some degree of control can be main
tanned by the use of traps. Both the
house fly and blowfies may be cap
tured in traps, according to the ento-
mologists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, but the character
of the bait and the location of the
traps are important consideration in
trapping the different kinds Of flies.
Farmers Bulletin 734-F, "Flytraps
and Their Operation" by f. G. Bishop
of the bureau of entomology of the
department, gives directions for con-
structing a number of different kinds
of traps, the same general principle be-
ing used in all these fytraps though
they appear to be different. The flies
are attracted into a cage through a
passage, the entrance of which is
large and the exit small. Once in
side there is little chance that the
flies will find the way out.
Light is an important factor in the
success of all fytraps because flies
have tendency to go toward the
light, after having been attracted be-
meath it by the odor of the bal. or
after entering room in search of
food.
1t is important to use bait suit
able for the kind of flies to be caught.
For house flies, mixture of cheap
cane molasses with three times as much
water is one of the most effective and
economical bats to use. Blowf1ies are
more readily attracted by animal mat
ter. Around slaughter houses, mar
kets, and butcher shops where blow
flies are troublesome, such bats as
mucous membranes which form the
Innings of intestines of cattle or hogs
are suitable.
A copy of the bulletin may be OBJ
tanned from the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, Washing.
