with more memory than tact will remind
her of the days when she played wltti
r'rancla Wilson. Not that it Is a thing to
be ashamed of, but how many of us relish
to be told of the things we did In those
glad days of babyhood, when our Impulses
were our only guide and our Kdenlc Inno
cence led us into such strange adventures
as wa would be obliged to people it they
did not remember'.' llaoy lavls Is Jusl
such a youngjilei a every lather and

"X Bai-lulor's Haby" Is the sort of a
ylay one would look for from l'rancls Wil
son. It is a uueint mixture; it fun la
always present, soinetlmee bubbling, some
times bulling, sometimes merely frothing.
Now and then its cuurse runs very near
to the pathetic, but Its author sees to It
that It never beooniBs nulls serious. That It
does have a lesson lie admits, and that les-
on is intula ao obvious that It re.nilres no
footnote to tarry it htuiie. Being built by
on actor of rie Judgment and uni jestloned
lMte, it la excellent In its iraft. and as af
fording Fran, is Wilson a vehicle In whieh
his lacs fUcure oiu as a support for his
body It la unique.
One who has nexer seen Mr. Wilson In
Uttle i'ath.r of the Wilderness.'' about
tha only serious pleee. he ever undertook,
has no conception of his real capacity for
the higher forms of draintlc expression.
It la bis pleasant liablt to destroy atnd ef
rgoe any impression of serious Intention ,he
may create b some Ml of buf fitonery at
an unexpected moment, as if be did not
CBra to have folks know that he posser
real aentlirenis. the pams as other people.
But In the closing moments of his present
play he almost forgets to An this, and
shows that he can turn a impressive a
bit af pathos ss one might wish. Kor the
most psrt. though, the play Is Jupt tlt
whimsical fsncv and lrrepreseloiiable fun
of Francis Wilson, running riot. Occa
sionally It holders on farce so closely that
It la hard to le'l the difference. And the
complete undei standing betmeen the author
and the actor la made very clear by the fun
tha one seems to have with the other, all
of which la both amusing and entertaining
la the audience.

The curious aversion ot the American
woman to learning anything about where
and how the goods she buys are manu
factured was pilloried by Mrs. Florence
Kelley, secretary of the National Con
sumers' league, at the meeting of the social
science department Monday afternoon.
Mrs. Kelley found the club women listen
ing to a talk about oriental rugs and their
characteristics, and commended them for
the fact that they were willing to listen
and try to learn anything about the goods
they purchase. "As a rule," she said,
"somen show a great unwillingness to hear
anything about the things they buy. It Is
a fact that many women not only do not
care to learn, but will leave tha meeting
If some one get a up and starts to tall any
thing about the condiUons under which
many of the articles they use are manufac
tured. They are bored by it, or would
rather not know. The tragic result of the
American woman's Indifference Is that dis
graceful truth that we are quite alone
among the civilized nations in the way
In which we use up and wear out our
children's lives In the manufacture of our
goods. No other civilized nation permits
the conditions which exist In our country
today, especially In our cotton mills in the
south. And these condiUons exist because
the indifference of the buyers permits them
to exist.
VWomen show more Interest In studying i
conditions of things remote from them than
Investigating conditions nearer at home, j
They are mora Interested In central China !
and other places far from home than In
conditions which It Is their Immediate duty
to consider and change."
The meeting of the social science depart
ment Monday was a pleasant close to a suc
cessful year's work. The meeting was typ
ical of ths year In Its combination of tslks
by those who knew thoroughly whereof
they spoke, and music and entertainment
emphasizing the social and Informal side
of the department's year.
Mrs. Kelley gave a talk enlisting the In
terest of the club women In the crusade
against the lack of child labor restrictions
in the cotton states.
Housef Xahlgian gave an interesting and
Instructive talk on the characteristics of
the different oriental rugs. These he class
ified as the Persian rugs. Caucasslan,
Turkoman and the Anatolian. He spoke
of the traits of the different kinds of rugs
under these classes and Illustrated by
showing rugs of each kind.
Mrs. C. W. AxteJI added greatly to the
pleasure of the progrsm by her pleasant .
telling of a Persian letrend. Mrs. Axtell as i
a member of the story tellers' league was j
askea also to explain the manner In which
the league promotes interest In good stories
by Its study and re-telllng of the world's
great stories.
