SOME mm Is It One Duty to Push tfee Baby Carriage and .Adjust the Milk Bottle. (By International New* Service) Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 20.—Courtships —marriage—and the rearing of a fam ily mean more than some folks think when they step into, the matrimonial harness. And right now Atlanta uttorncys, agd leading club women, are engaged . in discussing the question: Js it the duty of a husband to push - the baby carriage and adjust the in i fant's bottle? j And there is quite a difference of I opinion expressed; some asserting it’s 1 purely a fifty-fifty proposition, while I there are o&ers who hold that it’s the duty olithc wife. Then again: Should hubby refuse to ■do these things, would that in itself . constitute grounds for. a divorce? j Had not a judge in Philadelphia I granted divorce to Ralph Stalker oil I the grounds that his wife made him operate the baby’s buggy, and tfieu look after the milk when he came home evenings, none of this discus sion would linve come about. But tile decision of tile soft-iiearted Phila delphia magistrate has started an end less line of discussion. "To me the rearing of children in the home- is a mutual partnership and should be shared by both husband and wife," said Judge Eugene Thomas, of Fulton Superior Court here. "The wife is bothered all day long with babies and should be given some re lief at night by the husband when he comes home.” So far so good. Chalk up one point for the wife. But listen: "1 don’t think a liusbuud who has worked bard in an office ail day long should he made to attend to a baby when he comes home tired out from work unless, of course, his wife is not in good health, and has not adequate servants to care for the baby,” said Mrs. W. B. Price-Smith, of the Atlanta Woman's Club. Strike one for hubby! Now übout divorce: Come forth, till ye baby-pushing) papas and hear these words from Rob-; ert C. Alstou, one of Atlanta’s lead ing attorneys: "Pushing u baby carriage or hat ing to fix the baby’s bottle is not, in my way of thinking, sufficient grounds for divorce.” ’ ' But there's a liiteh. Mr. Alston tins no children.! Still, he maintains that, any man should be proud and glad of the opportunity of attending to ’ais baby when he comes home at night., and that the responsibility should be shared equally between hus band and wife. However, chalk up ■mother score for wifie! "I have reared a large family.” said Mrs. Alonzo Richardson, well known club woman, “and 1 have never known dir time when my husband was not glad tii lend a hand in helping me With l|ic t'.iildren. It is a- strictly partnership business, that of raising a family, in my opinion. To me, I cannot conceive a husband helping with the children being classed as a duty. It should be a matter of love, and partnership that should coino nat- ' u rally.” Oh.’ well, that ends it. Give the victory to the witie’s. And to those loving hubby’s: Do your duty! Things could he worse: There could be a dozen bubies in the family! Lilly—What, are you crying (or. you poor little fellow? What’s your name? Where do yon Jive Boy—l don’t know.

Richmond) I Published nt. Garden (City. X. Y.. by Doubjeday, Page and Company. "Price $2. ✓; “Cherry Square," by Grace 8. Rich mond, tells its story in the subtitle, "A Neighborly Novel", and that also tells just what kind of book the reader will find if he or she has not previously rend stories by .this popular writer. If you like the works of Richmond this story will not disappoint yap. It is n refreshing tale of attractive, -wellbrcd people witli some fascinating hits of self analysis. Many readers complain’ that the characters that come from the pen of Grace 8. Richmond are too perfect. In the majority of the previous bruin children oft Richmond that is true mid for that rcuson many will enjoy this tale for it makes one or two of the characters “even as you or 1 ” The nut her very subtly reveals the Fay feet of the popular idol, pastor of a great church ill a great city, who did not suspect his own egotism and jealousy until hitter shook and dis appointment developed the real great ness of his nature. Per Imps it wasn't until the last ith.at lie realized his de pendence upon his wife—-zent-souled, lovable Sully, nor did lie dream of the tremendous loyalty of Dr. Fiske, who bravely concealed his love for Sully, the pastor’s wife, because, as he said, "I tim the friend of them both." There is also (Jordon Jlackay, magnificent son of his magnificent father, in his splendid sacrifice of opportunity for file sake of his friend. From the above one can see that this book of Richmond's has some of her usual “nobility of character,” hut. less the render weary of too much no bility. there is plenty of very human frailty. If Adelaide Sturgis had not been horn a lady, site might have beeu an adventuress; but even good breed ing could not deprive her of the pleas ure of being quite “cutty,” a xueuk.aud .a snob. The reader is thoroughly de lighted when she gets squelched and cannot have her way in everything. And there are several other characters who are far from being hoblc so the reader feels that lie is almost reading of people lie knows or has met. In fact t’iie characters are human. Jo Jenny, playing a variety of ■ parts and always loyal to the hidden Julian; Norali ©’Grady’s big heart, ! bits of philosophy and charming i brogue; Sago Pierpout. of the trans parent efficiency, and many otlu-r in tensely human characters play their purt in tlie story.” If you want just au interesting story, o» if you read for, a deeper study of personality, you will find a story that will interest you in this "Neighborly Novel” l>y a popular author. * ''Benjamin Franklin, Uic First Civi lized American.” (By Phillips Russell) As mentioned before, don’t read this uuless you are sophisticated, and don't leave it around for the young to read, that is, unless you want them to know of the everyday life of Franklin, life of Franklin and titan parts of ■his life are subjected to the X-ray i Mr. Bussell certainly proves Frank lin to be “civilised”, if civilised means | !

Frank lin. Now, Sin Lancelo, and, to a cer tain extent, the pure Sir Galahad. The authors of today are keeping apace with the trend toward human izing idols. Smashing ideals and myths of our childhood days has ap parently become the pastime of many !of the present-day writers. One is almost afraid to open a book for fear he will read that Mr. Mieawber was a gross pessimist or that Lenoidas | woe nt. home asleep .when Tbermopalae j was fuuglit. John Erskirie lias almost lead the trend of humanizing our myths at the of idealism. First we bud his “The Private Life of Helen of .Troy,” and now with “Galahad: Enough of His Life to Explain His Keputation.” lit- hus'nguiu taken the shield of nobleness that surrounded the heroes of our school days and gives us a man who ate, drank, slept pud had desires even ns other men, hut still retained his predominating virtues. The volume could well bear the title,‘-Lancelot and Galahad” for both arc discussed at length, with the for mer occupying most of the space. I.u nee lot, the story shows, accord ing to Mr. Krskine, depended mostly mama mighty arm and a keen eye for his virtues. He fought upon t be side of right always to the same ex tent that, as Napoleon suggested, “the Lord lights upon the side with the heaviest artillery." Since Sir Lance lot was the most feared jonster in England and might made right, lie came to be possessor of tile most vir tues. Sir Lancelot is not merely stripped of his mythical attributes by Mr. 1 Erskine but further X-rays are made upou his life. The beautiful Guinevere becomes only the mistress of the noble knight in the modern tales of King Arthur's Boundtuble. with the king not earing a great deal and none other with a mighty enough arm to say Luuceloiit nay in his love. Then there is Galahad, born ont of wedlock to Lancelot and Elaine in a most com-, mouplucc, one-sided love affair. And Lancelot, disclaiming responsibility for' bis son until inter years, when'tbe youth also falls under the spell of Queen Guinevere anil develops through her the only outstanding virtues that any of the .character of the story have. v The author has written his novel in a scintillating style, abounding with a light vein of humor and satire that lifts it far aCove the mediocre.
