Il are seen in q new farce-comedy
by Hatcher Hughes and Alan
Williams called Its a Grand Life. !"
The play itself is nothing much, and
Mrs. Fiske does little more than, so to
say, walk through it, in the part OF a
middle-aged wife and mother who has
learned to keep her own counsel and
cover up such disappointments and en-
barrassmentS as her somewhat eccentric
husband and children may bring her
with satirical phrase and a wave OF
her expressive hands
The plays importance, aside from
the slight opportunities 1t gives to MRS:

incidental fun that are scattered mere
and there. BY making tabloid news

should so often appear in mediocre
plays. But she has given UP alto

OF her earlier repertoire, and to
find a comedy which will not overtax
her present strength and which will,
at the same time, permit her to do and
say something in keeping with the nigh

the American theater, isn't always so

A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
by Amos r. Wells
PRESCRIPTION
FOR A HAPPY LEE

FOR A HAPPY LIFE.
Hannah More's writings have be-
come old-fashioned, but she was a
wise woman, and we can not afford
to neglect some things that she wrote.
For instance, these lines fit into every
life:
"Since trifles make the sum of human
things,
And half our misery from our foibles
springs;
Since life's best joys consist in peace
and ease,
And few can save or serve, but all
may please
Oh! let the ungentle learn from hence
A small unkindness is great offence.
Large bounties to restore we wish in
vain,
But all may shun the guilt of giving
pain"
NO better prescription for a happy
life can be given than this simple
rule: Be kind! And no better rule for
Kindness can be given than the Golden
Rule. Get into the habit Of putting
yourself in the place of all with whom
you have to do. Before you speak to
them, think what you would think Of
your contemplated words if they were
addressed to yourself. Nothing is finer
than the exercise of the art of
Christian imagination.
be we all compassionate, low
ing as brethren, tenderhearted, hum
bleminded."
Read / Peter 8: 10.
