Mrs. Friedewald Interprets
Morality Play
SMALL HUT CULTURED AUDI
ENCE ENJOYS INTERPRETA
TIVE READING OK FAMOUS
MORALITY SPECTACLE, LAST
SATURDAY.
"Everywoman," Walter Brown's
morality play, was tho subject of an
interesting interpretative reading
presented by Mrs. Salo Friedewald, of
Scranton, last Saturday afternoon In
the auditorium of the Honesdale
High school before a small but cul
tured audience.
' This play," according to Mrs.
Friedewald, " was offered for many
years to one stage manager after an
other. Savago finally took it. Its
premiere performance was given in
Hartford, Conn., while the author
laid dead in his own house. Walter
Brown didn't live to enjoy the fame
which came to him. It was a great
success, running all last year in New
York, and this year will be taken on
the road.
"To my mind, it is not a great
play. As a spectacle it is great. In
the June number of the 'Philistine
Mr. Hubbard praises it. When ho
praises anything very highly I look
for the advertising space, and I find
the advertising is proportionate to
tne amount or praise. I found a
whole page taken up with an adver
tisement of the play. I think he can
hardly 'be sincere in saying that noth
ing can equal it.
" Everywoman is a comnnsltn
character. 'We have some of all
these composite characters in us all,'
declares tho author in his Preface.
He also says He hopes this Play will
prove a timely warning to every
woman who listens to flattery and
lays siege to tho hearts of men.'
Everywoman' is a morality nlav
in imitation of 'Everyman.' 'No
body,' speaks tho Prologue in the
course of which he says:
"Remember but a simple maid,
in ner eany youth, was ' Every
woman!' "
Youth. Beauty. Modesty annear in
the first Act as three very -pretty
young gins. Flattery comes too.
The search for love . commences,

goes tnere. On the staee annenr

celt.
" In the chorus appear Flirt. Dim
pie, Giggles, Pert. Sharp. Smiles. Sly.
Youth, Beauty, Modesty. List to their
song:
"Young and gay,
Not a man
But doth adore us.
Life is short
In the chorus."
Everywoman Is followed by
weaitn since ene went on the stage.
uonscience, a little delicate gray
maiden wno always stands in the
background, now appears for the first
time. Everywoman must and will
find Love. Modesty calls out from
behind the stage 'Beware of Pas
slon. Passion is not Love.' Modesty
disappears as Everywoman comes
out in evening dress.
"Passion appears decked out as a
King, wearing a mask. Everywoman
tears off his mask, crying "Modesty
ana Conscience comfort me." Every
woman has not found Love In the
make-believe places.
"The second Act opens in Every
woman's house, late at night. Every
woman is looking for Love in scenes
of dissipation. Sneak and Grovel,
two servants, are there. So also are
Wealth and Witless, Youth and
Beauty followed by Age in leading
strings.
Conscience, you go." commands
Everywoman, who says of her, 'O,
the jade, sne hath company manners
when I am all alone she rules with
an iron hand. The guests gather
around the table. Beauty is put to
rest, uonscience sits beside her.
Conscience sings 'Sing Weep, Sing
wo, For my Lady!' Everywoman
leaps to the middle of the table. The
clock strikes 5. Conscience sings,
'Sing weep, sing wo.' Everywoman
cries out "O, Conscience, why wilt
mou not sieep except such time as
her mistress sleeps?"
"Wealth Is going to pretend that
ne's King Lovo I. 'Here, am I,' he
says, 'My name Is Wealth.' He tells
her what wonderful gifts he'll give
her. She thinks that is love. Beau
ty dies in tho midst of tho revelry.
Everywoman looks In the mirror
and finds out Wealth wants her but
for her youth nnd beauty.
Tho next Act is laid on Broadway
on New Year's eve. Vice comes down
the great White Way, followed by
a chorus of Fools singing
"Pa, you know,
Makes the dough,
Which wo blow
In dissipation!"
"Everywoman comes along. She
'begins to look aged and ragged. Be
side her creeps Time. 'O where can
true happiness bo found?' walls
Everywoman. Truth answers 'You
can find it if you go with me. 'No,'
she answers 'now Its wealth. The
church bolls begin to ring. Every
woman, ah old woman, ragged .and
loveless, stands alone. She is fore
saken by Wealth for Vice. Youth Is
brought out of tho church, dead.
'Ye gracious Gods,' she cries out,
Judge not Everywoman. Is there
no one who will help?' And a voice
answers. -Nnhn ' i,ZL wAV
Don't touch meP she shrieks. '
Heavy Penalty For Killing
Fawns
GAME COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS
1.ETERM1NED TO PUT A STOP
TO SHOOTING OF YOUNG DEER.
Any one who Is.able to distinguish
a muley cow is dapablo of going
gunning for deer, according to John
M. Phillips, one of Pennsylvania's
game commissioners. If the hunter
is not imbued with the art of making
such comparison he had better re
main at home and allow ihis gun to
rust, says Commissioner Phillips, for
It is far more dangerous to kill a
doe or a fawn In Pennsylvania some
times than it is to shoot a man. A
hunter who kills either animal will
be promptly arrested, made to forfeit
$iuu ana serve 100 days In Jail.
rnatiis tne penalty attached.
There is no law against shooting a
man by accident. So killing a doe or
fawn ' was made an offense more to
protect human life and compel hunt
ers to distinguish between a buck
and a doe. The doe must be saved
at all hazards, sportsmen say, in or
der to protect the breed. Prior to
the passage of the present game laws
hunters would shoot promiscuously
at any clump of bushes which ap
peared to move and especially If
something of a brown color made Its
appearance In the moving brush the
hunter would blaze away and take a
chance. Many persons lost their
lives and the passing of the law rel
ative to the shooting of deer has
gone a long way toward putting a
stop'to the slaughter of human life
and Is protecting the deer at me
same time.
"During the deer season we read
of many persons being shot while
hunting," said Mr. Phillips, "and
many of the shootings followed be
cause no regard was paid to human
life. Hunters take a chance, but
since law's were passed prohibiting
tne Killing or the doe they have been
more careful, for they must distin
guish between a 'buck and a doe.
Mr. Phillips holds that if the doe
in Pennsylvania Is protected the state
will be overrun with deer within the
next 10 years and that venison will
be plentiful. He says that deer pro-
luui sum. mere is.mure came in
Pennsylvania now,, than there

any Dut a male deer with horns was
passed more to protect human life
than to protect deer. The state uas
funds to employ only 10 deputy
game wardens and Mr. Phillips says
that there should be three times that
number. Calls come for deputies
during the game season that cannot
bo supplied. Tho state allows but
455.08 a day to run this department,
or a total of $21,000 a year, and
half of this sum is returned to the
state in penalties Imposed on hunters
for violation of the law, making the
actual cost of protecting the game of
the entire state from $20 to $25 a
day, which Mr. Phillips holds lis a
pittance.

Face to faco with the high cost of

wnicnever way you want to put It;
fronting the dull and bleak days of
Winter; frenzied with the daily bread
and butter problem; for any one or
for all of theso good and sufficient
reasons, only fifteen strong sons and
fifteen darling daughters of Wayno
plucked up courage enough to take
the leap Into the sea of matrimony
uuring xne montn or November,
hundreds choosing rather to stand
shivering on the brink, than to make
the icy plunge.
ine monins marriages wero re
markable for the high average ago
of the contracting parties, that of
the bridegrooms being thirty-six
years and four months, while twenty
seven and six-fifteenths years was the
average age of the brides.
The oldest bridegroom, by the
way, didn't come from Wayne coun
ty, nor did his bride either. As he
was seventy-seven and she forty-two
that combination helped consider
ably to raise tho average age.
The youngest bride and groom
were only eignteen years old. Three
of the brides wero under twenty-
one. Four were between twentv-
one and twenty-five. The oldest'
bride was forty-six. Five of the
brides were "thirty past."
Among the bridegrooms, only one
was under age. Two were twenty -
one; two were twenty-four; one was
twenty-six, and tho rest were "thir
ty years old and upwards." Five of
the bridegrooms were over forty
years of age. Two were past the
Oslerlzed age limit of sixty. Of a
trutn tlie older men are braver than
tne younger generation.
Five farmers took upon them
selves the yoke of married life. Two
laborers decided toll would be sweet
er if shared by another. Other oc
cupations represented included one
eacn of the following: Glass blower,
gipss aipper, nreman, retired, knit

The brides represented six differ

and one who gave her occupation as

that not one of them will ever be
compelled to tell the "census man"
her occupation has become that of
"nousehold drudge."
Tbe County Seat and Hawley
shared the honors for brides, with
two Diusning representatives each.
The grooms came from all over crea
tion. One came from New York;
another from Dunmore: one from
Honesdale, and tho rest came strag

ties follow, with those of the bride

The reporter happened belnc pres
ent one oay in Protnonotary M. J.
Hanlan's Inner office when an elderly
looking man walked in and inquir
ed: "What does a man havo to do
when he wants to get hitched up?"
"Bring the woman around," smil
ingly replied the Prothonotary, who
thought the man was only In jest.
"'Well, let's fix it up." continued
tho stranger.
"I thought you wero only joking."
answered Mr. Hanlan, rising to his
feet In a twinkling and accompanying
the applicant to 'his outer office,
where the bride-elect was natlently
waiting.
Mr. Hanlan catechised both of the
parties at length, and as the law
provides. The bridegroom began to
think the Prothonotary was overly
inquisitive and finally plucked up
courage enough to say:
lou are asking a lot of oues-
tions."
Mr. Hanlan admitted it. hut ex
plained to the prospective husband
that ho was only -doing his duty.
Making out tho papers he handed
them to tho bridegroom, who took
hold of them rather gingerly.
"I suppose a fellow can uso that
whenever he has a mind to?" ques
tioned tho applicant.
"Yes," obligingly answered Mr.
Hanlan.
Following a moment's pause, and
as if he had being weighing a dif
ficult problem In his mind, and at
last found a happy solution of it, the
bridegroom-elect turning to tho bride
to be, said:
"Here, I'll let you take care of
that."
She took the precious bit of paper
ana put it in a silver mesh bag which
she carried.
And, by the bye, that Is tho pTVRr
thing to do. The beautifully engrav
ed certificates handed out by tho
clergymen have precious little legal
value. But the duplicate certificate,
which the minister fills out and
hands to the man after the ceremony,
should bo kept by the brido at all
hazards as a legal attestation of her
marriage.
Tho man and tho woman roso to
go.
"How much do you want?" ho
asked the Prothonotary, almost for
getting the most Important part of
the transaction.

" Wo might expect a mild Winter.
The movements of the animals and
uirus anu everything In Naturo
seems to indicate a mild Winter.
We 11 have 'Winter In Wayno county.

Declaring his belief xhat the com

any ability to make a " sure pre

Mr. Day does not take much stock
In the goosebone. Ho doesn't havA
any confidence In the lean and scanty
