Sunday Joe E. Brown v in "BROAD MINDED" Comedy--News- Screen Song IRBIE was one of those women who had married, early (a firstlove elopement), had spent the subsequent years bemoaning the fact that she had not availed herself -of the opportunity for a college education. The stage had ail been set for Sibbie to attend a state university when she eloped instead. It had been no great blow however to her parents, the idea of college, which in t modest way they had*been ttble to Afford, had been to them more of a new-fangled notion than a project of value. So when Sibbie eloped with nice local boy, with prospects In his father's machinery shop, it had seemed' more of a blessing than a calamilj'.. / • ;in a way this was true, because the pretty- Sib'bie was to enjoy three years of complete marital happiness before her husband succumbed to influenza during an epidemic. It had been hard sledding after that. Her little, girl was Just two when the father died. Her father-inlaw's machine shop was destined to bankruptcy, her own parents had passed on meanwhile, leaving assets that were chiefly in the form of mortgages. Ther» had not been a time after those first three years of married happiness when Sibbie had not been harassed, pressed and burdened with the responsibilities of the struggle for existence of herself and little girl. And through all the driven, work-ridden years the regret that had lain uppermost in the mind of Sibbie was her failure to avail herself, when a girl, of the opportunity of a college education. Lack of it seemed the fundamental explanation of so many of the handicaps that oppressed her. It was humiliating when she thought of her little daughter Lottie, that she, Sib- ,bie, instead of earning their living by some such activity as teaching or prtn. 'fessional work, should be obliged to accept a salesladysliip in a dry goods store or sit behind the wire cage of a cashier's, desk in a lunch , room. A college woman happened to run one of these lunch rooms In which Sibbie was employed as cashier. The very books she kept on her desk were a sign of reproach to the mother of little Lottie. T-hey were the kind of books Sibbie was not only unprepared to read herself, but was unprepared to pass along and discuss with her daughter. Books of psychology science • collections of essays. -•----- Because her mind had never been sufficiently trained, Sibbie had not the patience for reading anything except the most superficial magazines and the tabloid newspapers. Vaudeville and motion pictures were her forms of entertainments and it was all she could do to keep awake if she accompanied her little daughter, for the sake of its cultural significance, to i lecture or a symphony concert And so Sibbie found herself going though life, branded, as It were, by this- outstanding lack; branded by the fact that as an uneducated woman she was fettered to walks of life that otherwise might have been roads to a higher destiny. Try as she would to excuse herself, Sibbie was forced at last to realize that her intellectual curiosity had simply never been awakened. The proprietor of the restaurant oblfged to be absent She had a Am executive quality and once or <twic« it bad been Sibble'fe privilege to sit at one of these aessions and se« W young daughter, pert, slim, alart, an< Intelligent, conduct the affairs of thia cultural organisation with manner and precision. Sometimes the literary society, or the dramatic club of which Lottie was also a member, met in the modest little home where Sibbie took great pains to serve excellent refreshments.

He attributes his family Miss to the fact that his wife is ugly, knows it, and does not mind being told about it.

Early U«e of Tobacco Tobacco was introduced into Japai) in 1595, which was as early as or •ven earlier than ita use in : the formative years. Sibbie realized that same need within herself. She had no talent for culture; no appetite, except one that should have been artificially stimulated In her youth. And, of course, this regret began gradually to be offset by an ambition. Before Lottie was in her 'teens, a gleaming resolution had already lit Tibbie's eyes. Lottie would never know the bitter pangs of regret that had eaten their, way through the life of her mother.- - • When Lottie was thirteen, the fund for her college education already amounted to three figures In Sibbie's little bank book. And delightfully enough, Lottie showed promise of a distinct appetite* for learning. She was the sort of child to whom going to school was a pleasure. Her teacher liked her; her reports were excellent and to Sibbie's delight, it was not unusual to find the little girl, after school hours, curled up on a couch reading a book, Instead of playing out of doors vHth the neighborhood children. And good books they were. Dickens. When Lottie was sixteen, she spoke French alitost as well as the graphophone records from which she had learned it By this time her application was in for admission into a large eastern College for girls, and Sibbie's nestegg was already large enough to account for the first two years of Lottie's college life. ^ ~r Even in her choice of companions, Lottie brought gratification to her mother's heart. She was not only a member of the high school's literary Society, but vtte president as well, pnd presided when the president of the organization *Ix)ii Brown, son of principal ol &clioolf wag of wealthy parents, who had come to be a great chum of Lottie's. Sometimes they practiced their dramatics together, while Sibbie held the book and prompted them. Lottie and Edda were bound fdr the same college. Once, too, Lottie was chosen to play Juliet opposite Lon Brown's Romeo in the'-school production of that play, and it seemed to Sibl^ie, sitting there beholding, that m* fulfillment could be finer than this vicarious one that was hers. Compared to the. joys of beholding in this girl Qf hers the fruition of her own Runted and blunted desires, the years of struggle, grief and despair, wer« as naught. In a way, Sibbie useil to argue with herself, it was a blessed dispensation that she had been too silly and Ignorant a girl to .realize the incalculable advantages of aii education. Otherwise, 'she might never have realized thus keenly how essential were the cultural attributes she desired so passionately in her daughter. The world was filled With women who had suddenly found themselves in the routine rut of homes, without having had time to equip themselves for life; women without the capacity to desire the better things. Sibbie had been such a woman. The avenues of good reading, of foreign languages, of art were closed to h^r, because she had never prepared ( hw1 mind to understand or loveTfbem. 'there came to be something horrible to Sibbie in the news that this and that young girl of Lottie's acquaintance had married. Too soon, too soon, was what her heart tolled when tidings such as these came to her. These young girlti, just out of high school, had not time to prepare themselves for the better things; the" banquet-things of life's table. When Lottie was eighteen, she was graduated with honors from ber high school. There were three months between her and the time she was to enter college; months that were heart-hurt- -ing and terrible to Sibbie in many ways, as the time bf her separation from this child approached, afid yet months that were lit with the flame of fulfillment. * To add to the excitement and the fine quality of her anticipations, Lottie won a traveling scholarship o£ two months in Europe, on the strength of an essay she wrote for a local newspaper. It came out of a clear sky, because Sibbie had not even known that her daughter had entered the competition. Two months in Europe! Two months among the art galleries, the palaces and the capitals of England, l|rance, Germany and Italy. Why, that in Itself was enough to give a girl a running start In a cultural life that was limitless in its possibilities. More than that, think what it would do to jerk the pretty Lottie, tired from the arduous activities of her graduation, out of the apathy which had fcome over her of late. But as a matter of fact, the effect was just, the contrary. Like a flower drooping of its own weight, Lottie somehow failed to respond to the incredible good fortune that had befallen her and for somft reason, all the old enthusiasm abovrfjfter entrance into college had flowed out of her, leaving her a wan and listless girl Who was puzzling to her mother. After all, It was Impossible to' account for a lassitude so deeply rooted as Lottie's, merely by the strenuous activities attending her graduation. Something fundamental was to be reckoned with in Lottie. It all became startlingly clear, Just one week before she was to sail for Europe. She eloped with Lon Brown. The effect upon her mother, the subsequent happy setting-up of the two young people Into a small homestead, and the resultant years of good fortune and tribulation, happiness and heartache, are precisely what would be expected. Sibbie, with the unconquerable resiliency of the human being. recovered from the shock of her disappointment and learned to accept in good faith the really pleasant destiny that had overtaken her daughter. Lon was a good fellow, industrious, ambitious and capable. Their first child was born on Lottie's birthday. She is six years old now, her name Is Sibbie. iHie nest-egg toward her college, education has already been started in the sayings bank. ° FOB SALE!--Home grown early Ohio potatoes, 75c per bu. Phone.
