wife had made was right and I was
wrong. So I jslipped behind the scenes
and changed them all," I didn't tell her,
but I changed them. - And then I in
vited her to come down and see the
last rehearsal and bring half a dozen
other good mothers with her. When
they reachc--l- the hall said to them:
"Ladles,- v.' ;ch this play for me and
see if . I've made a mistake of taste.
It's a delicate subject. If there's a
word in it that ought to come out, tell
me and I'll cut it. And if you think it
should not be produced, say so and I'll
pull it off. I've asked you as a. Jury
of white American 'Mothers to decide
this for me. Now be honest with
yourselves and fair to me."
At the end of the rehearsal they
came, one - by one, took me fey the
hand and said ft great many very
beautiful things. I'm entirely too
modest to tell them to you but I will
tell you what my wife said. With the
slightest touch of sarcasm in her
voice she quietly remarked: "You
needn't make any , more changes
now." Tickets on sale at Balkcom's

"To -day A
Th)e menace of woman's present day
mania for clothes and the eeil results
attendant thereto, are graphically
shown in the powerful drama, "To
day1, Which comes here on Nov. 9th.
In the cas-e of misguided Lily Wag
ner, her husband killed her to cure
her of th craze that nad' ruined her
lift, but seeing "To-day" and think
ing about It will suggest less dra
matic cure.
One of the chief problems of very
day life in the cities and in many small
communities is how to induce women
to dress according to their incomes.
Talk to any thoughtful dressmaker
and she well tell you; unless you show t
unmistakable signs of the mania your-, j
self.- that the grip of clothes upon , her
customers is appalling.' Although
earning her living and sometimes a
fortune In dressing women prettily,
she herself deplores the -waste of-ill
considered dressing the- waste In
money. In Interest, in sanity, for see
ing things out of proportion Is insan
ity. She will tell you that there are
uomen to whom clothes are the art
and science of life. They care for
nothing else, think of nothing1 else.
They are possessed by velvets, ob
sessed by chiffons. A moderate lik
ing for pretty gowns and hats and
.wraps is entirely natural. It is in its
simple normal form an expression of
a-woman's sense of beauty and fit
ness. But it is only one of the in
terests that make up a woman's life.
a simple, well thought out wardrcoe
is within the means of most women.
It was within Lily .Wagner's. But
she cared inordinately for handsome
gowns. The sight of one mounted
to her brain and befuddled it as the
fumes of wine befuddle the drunkard.
Beginning as a pretty girl with an
average interest in dainty apparel, the
liking' grew into an obsession. It
became a monster that destroyed her.

Lily is shown as idle, as allowing her

mother-in-law, by the wayt6 do all
the work of their little household,
while she sits "thinking' of heaven

Lily might have learnsd to shop intel

cr most of them. So she might have
filled her closets with frocks that
were pretty and suitable, and by such
simple means the awful tragedy of her
life would have been averted.

I replied: "I won't take out a word.

At The Isis Today.
Sunday's program at the Isis should
attract many, for Manager Davison
has arranged a combination bill that
will not fail to please the raoet fasti
dious. It is an extraordinary -bill for
a Sunday, featuring' the "Million Dol
lar Mystery," presenting: episode Xo.
18, and showing the narrow escape of
the conspirators after their attempt to
-capture Norton as set forth in the pre
ceding episode. Many are following
this ihnlling etory and the fact that
r-ne of the most interesting episodes is
to be presented will serve to draw
manj- to the theatre.'
"Our Mutual Gir!," a favoriie with
patrons of the Isis will be shown. It
is a very entertaining installment and
has some very exciting- climaxes.
"Snookees Day Off," is a-eido splitting-
comedy of one reel that will bring
many a laugh and will have to jDe
seen to be appreciated.
For Monday Manager Davison has
arranged to show the greatest of all
modern productions, "After the Bali."
It probably is one of the greatest fea
ture pictures ever shown In Pensac-jla,
and Is the talk of the entire moving
picture world. "
Last night at 6 o'clock, the city em
ployes, tired from their arduous day's
labor, left the city building, without
giving out the amount of receipts, but
thc lattr overtops anything- in this
line on record.
It wfli real surprising just how many
persons had for numerous reasons
neglected to pay their license fees,
and men In all walks of life looked
after this important matter vesterday,
to dodge the filly per cent, penalty
which "becomes effective Monday.
All manner of business and profes
sional lines were licensed to do busi
ness, and these after the licenses
showed up In person in about every
case. At times the crowd at the
wicket in the , clerk's office had the
appearance of a ticket sale, and nad
to be lined up, taking I heir chance
to get the attention of the men 'behind
the counter. It was as bad in the of
fice of the comptroller. Htre comp
troller Bayless and his assistant, Mr.
Murphy, had their tru.:?es, and both
of them honored the receipts sent from
the office of the cl-irk. Mr. E.cart,
the city clerk and treasurer, and his
assistant, Mr. Heinberg, both re
ceipted for the applicants, and this
was about all done in the clerk's of
fice. When the clerk was called by
telephone, either Commissioner Fou or
Mayor Grecnhut was on hand to ans
wer the calls, leaving the clerk to sive
his almost undivided attention to ti e
line of callers.
Fees received amounted to thous
ands, but did riot cover the estimated
amount from this source. One man
who came to pay a saloon license
brought his money ir small denomina
tions, and it was the clerk's duty to
count out the $1,000 offered. The
lowest fse paid was that , of midwives,
who were tixed $1.00. Feotle ownin
up to the ownership of a dog, paid a
like amount for each canine possessed
Outside of the saloons, the largest sin
gle fee was paid by the Pensacola
Electric Company, the total beirg over
$700. Numerous insurance companies
paid tip, of course through their local
agencies, some of rhe agents paying
for ten or more.

That's the cause of many a man's winning- out.
'"I like his looks" is often due to his clothes. Because
many men judge by appearances, good clothes are
always a good investment.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
London, Oct. 'SI. On of London's
great department stores has removed
from its windows its royalWtronaSe
signs. This is said to be due to a
rov&l rebuke.
This store, where Queen Alexandra j
has heretofore done her shopping,
sent a check for 10,000 pounds to the
Prince of Wales fund. So large a
donation might well be put to the
credit of its advertising account in
view of the publicity given It.
However, the managers of th
Wales fund discovered that the store
dismissed, half of its staff, so that the
donation came really not from the f inn
bu from its unfortunate discharged
employees. Whereupon the check
was sent back and the royal patronage
taken from the firm.
The problem In England Is to avoid
pauperizilg tbo unemployed. Th bur
den placed cn private diarity 1c
all that it can stand. Potn
in the case of the Prince f
of Wales and of Queen Marys funds,
the principal Is to provide employment
rather than to mkt doles to the idle.
While some industries have received
an artificial stimulus through the war.
others have been forced to close. It is
the aim of the royal family to Induce
employers to keep their business going
even at a Josa, rather than lo dis
charge hands and soothe thMr con
sciences by giving to charities which
their own actions have made neces
