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. We moved
yesterduy and mother was married
again today.
The nearest approach to perpetual '
motion is a school hoy wearing out
his shoes. ' , |
The displacing of seven major
Icaue managers since the close of the ,
season is furnishing gossip a plenty 1
for the baseball fans this winter.

' “Cherry Square”
(By Grace 8. 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 |
! Babalaisian. But I can hardly say i
; not to read this, for, after reading
! “George Washington, the Human Be
| ing and the Hero,” by Bupert Hughes,
i and the letter written by Lincoln de
manding a soft job for bis son in the
Civil War, one ia hardly shocked by
this Franklin.

I ingtou . . . Helen of Troy . . 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.
