NEW YORK, Dec. 13 — Helen |

Her play adaptation of Jane Aus-
tin's novel, “Pride and Prejudice,”
haa become one of the leading dra-
matic hits in town, and a lucra-
tive sotirce of revenue for herself.
Miss Jerome hag done the same

version of “Jane Eyre” haa been

This species <rf girl often marries to be sup- j famous French courteson; and a
ported, or because—liking the man who wants play she <wrote about Charlotte
to marry her better than the others—she sees “—-*— *-
herself supplied with an escort and life just
under option
one found of parties at home and abroad.
This kind of girl lodes upon a husband as
a desirable adjunct, to supply money, back,
grotutd, and protection, she expects to keep
cm going places and doing things, and gets
the jolt of a lifetime when she finds her play-
reported at the time that j ^ trwwfm-med
plles.
There are men who wont settle down after
marriage either, but judging from the scores
of complaints that come to my desk from
wives who are rarin’ to go, the majority of
men do settle, and settle quickly, if they are
given a half a chance. r
'-My husband won’t go to dances,” one wo-
man will write, or, ”My husband just comes
home and settles down with his paper,” an-
other will complain. This shows rather con-
clusively that wives are not overly partial to
the settling-down process. j
it takes two to xettie down comfortably.
When either the man or the woman does not
take kindly to it. things are made extremely
awkward for the mate.
It Can’t Be Done
One can’t very well settle down and let the
other gad about without almost surely land-
ing on the road to Keno. Two may go places
and do things, or two may settle down on the
matrimonial hearth with some hope of still
remaining mates, but not when one stays
home and the other doesn't.
Greatly to the surprise of many a husband,
the wife who has been, so to speak, the life
of the party, refuses to relinquish her role.
Why he sould be surprised is not clear.
Marriage works many changes, some of them
remarkable, but it takes time and circumstan-
ces. plus the marriage ceremony, to effect the
change. Still, it’s silly- to suppose a girl who
loves parties hasn’t the timber to become a
good wife. She may nave had nothing else
much , to do with her life and energy than to
flitter wbout enjoying herself as best she might.
Marriage provides a new and a bigger inter-
est If she is intelligent she sees this a| once
and lets the responsibilities of her new life
absorb her.
Responsibilities are not all liabilities. There
are ^responsibilities one gladly assumes and
gets a kick out of. The right sort of gill rec-
ognises this and quickly learns to put the right
valuation on parties. She learns to take them
or leave them, as seems best for the team.
Plenty Settle Dawn
Plenty of frivolous girls have settled* down
into excellent wives and mothers. They out-
grow the folly of youth. I think men should
be fair-minded enough to adrplt a normal girl
must do a certain amount of going about, and
is entitled to little adventures in romance.

REWARDED—The ways by which
New York night clubs rise to pop-
ularity and profits are marvelous
Indeed. A few years ago a certain
restaurant, now widely known In
the Fashionable Fifties, was open-
ed by a man (who had a little ex-
tra money In hand. He hod been a
head waiter ^t the Ritz Carlton,
but he was also a comic artist of
considerable ability.
8ome years ago, in fact, he was
on the staff of the old New York
World, and one of his comic char-
acters was very much like the Lit-
tle King which Otto Soglow has
since made famous. It was while
on the World that this man opened
his restaurant. But the place did-
n’t go.
“I can’t understand It.” he told
an editor friend one day. “I have
a nice plaice, good food, low prices
and a fine orchestra—but no one
comes!”
“Don’t be a) fool,” advised ^»ls
.friend. “What you should do is to
triple your prices, throw out the
.‘orchestra and put In some cock-
eyed, novel instrument instead.”
With nothing to lose, the res-
tauranteur raised his prices to the
highest in town, charging 75 cents
or so for a cup of coffee. Instead
of an orchestra he hired a zither
player and stuck him in the center
of the floor. '
The place has been jammed ever
since. Society swells are delighted
to pay.the large checks, and they
think the zither is awful cute. The
owner, rolling In profits, hasn’t
touched pen and Ink since.
It shows how merit is always
rewarded.

already won wide acclaim.

of her as another Edna St. Vlnceht
