The woman who lays stress on its monotony should not close her eyes to the other side of the matter. There is a pleasant balance between roupne .tasks and those which can be dtfne at the convenience of the homemaker. It is these latter tasks that smould be tackled when the personnels in the mood for them. Sometimes they appeal, and theu it is that the labor sinks into its minimum. These times , come unexpectedly as a general rule. Suddenly one is seized tyith, the, desire. '(&: get some special piece -of work (Tone.'

The critics were unanimous ih declaring this dramatization of Sinclair Lewis' famous novel by Sidney Howard as the en^^ainment to J she insist on doing what' she started tv,1 ui u" * 'ast ,ten years, - out to do, the joy of getting the thing an e pu ic has substantiated their done has oozed away, and with it has opinion y ocking to fill the Erlang-1 gone the atmosphere of ease. The er heatre at every performance. The j reaction is apt to he what the critic a vi inK reception given this splen-1 prophesied, because the task is done did Max1 Gordon offering is but a rep-. under fir^ nf rebuke. This mav not ition of the ovation given both Mr. Huston and. "Dodsworth" in New iike a tiresome arid taslfig. work, plished w it h surprisingly little effort. It actually Is eaisy. , The " energy expended does not drain the strength, nor wear . the nerves. This state of affairs exists whatever the age of the person. But It Is increasingly true as one grows older, or When one is not very strong, or has passed the convalescent stage of an Illness--the time'when vitality Is just enough to carry one through Imj peratlve jobs plus the adaptable ones, provided they are done when the desire seizes the workers. Work With Willing Mind. These times strike an onlooker aa ridiculous or amusing if they seem inopportune. ^Sometimes they are. Nevertheless whep the ^spirit is strong for accomplishment, the body rises to meet its demands. The strain is eased, and as it is this~strain, in large measure that saps energy, the proper ad justment releases it,) and : work slips away 'on light wings. To combat the worker, to" reason with her, to prove it Is not time to do the task she sets out to perform, is often as draining to mind and physique as the actual labor of performance-- and nothing is accomplished.

Charles Collins# critic of the Chicago Tribune, declares Huston's "Dodsworth" as one of the most not-, able stage successes of the year. He goes on to say that Max Gordon staged ((he fc>iece with the superb finesse that has made him a contemporary Belasco. " 'Dodsworth' ", he adds, "is a rich adventure in playgoing, modern in treatment but free from all ultra modern annoyances." Ashton Stevens, dean of American dramatic reviewers, writes--"Certainly Walter Huston's Sam Dodsworth belongs in the nation's gallery of classic dramatic portraits as memory shows them to me, and nothing that you or I can say will blast it out. I have seen Huston's Dodsworth only once, so far, yet already I believe it has become foV me what I and others too often and too lightly term a classic."

TbU does not loose, its grip. Pleasant Help.' •• It behooves the members of a family, to refrain from raising objections when one of them has the energy to do a needed bit of work although it would be a difficult time for them to prod themselves to da, it. Instead, if they feel the task Is too much for her, let them take from the worker's shoulders some of the routine jobs, unostentatiously. This will prove a delight to her, and continue to keep the spirits high, and relieve the person from undesirable reactions. When strength is sufficient, and the. worker is in good health, bothersome reactions would scarcely occur, yet none the less, the performance Of the adaptable jobs remain for her to do at such times as the work seems easiest. It is not that these pieces of work are unimportant to good housekeeping, but that they are apfert from the routine, and hence can be done at the convenience of the worker. The Thankful Attitude. When once we start to give thinks, in place of making complaints, t*e reversal, if we have been of a complalnnature, will prove a revelation of to take her along and buy her seats w h e r e s h e w o n ' t m i s s a t h i n g . " : ~ Tl^e other critics were equally fulsome in their praise, but space is lacking to quote them all. Suffice to say that anyone visiting "Dodsworth" will be repaid for his-or her trouble and expanse. "It is a big show in every sense of the word, requiring 14 scenes and two revolving stages, and a company of 40 actors for its telling. Its visit in Chicago is a limited one, for other cities are already clamoring for the fulfillment of their dates. f When Machines Were NeeJed Tears ago the making of guns entirely by hand was one of the chitef Industries of Guilford county* Jfortfi Carolina. Wild Ducks Live on Commuters' Bounty the good we have, even though w;e mav have it interspersed -with misfortunes. Today we are looking too much on tfie disturbing affairs in our lives and not enough on the fortunate ones. The reason for this Is that most persons have had reverses of somu kind in financial matters. Our eyes are blinded to the truth that money is uot everything. Good health Is mOre, yet we worry and complain over our adversities when in good health, until we wear ourselves out and become physically UL So we add misery to misfortune. . It Is true that some things for which to give thanks are what are termed negative rather than positive blessings. We are not In pain. That may, be negative, but It certainly Is something to be thankful for. We do not go hungry. That is negative, yet it is surely cause for thanks. We have pure air to breathe. Imagine what it must have been on the battlefields, with fumes of gas and fetid odors surrounding us. Sweet pure air is a blessing. • Ball BrndttttA--VND servlo*. .
