Richard ageman, the Dutch con ductor, vl direct the orchestra. The opet is without a really great leading ’ le * but it makes up for this by givii fine parts to half a dozen singers. The three roles of'Olympia, Giulett^ficl Antonia are usually sung by one i0 Prano, but the Metropolitan has si a a wealth of singers that it offers hree stars in the parts, ramous Gondolier Song. T/i “Tales” is famous especially for/te “Barcarolle,” the famous Vene tian gondoliers’ sing, sung in the sec- oBiact and played as an intermezzo \J he orchestra. It is led by two ytaen’s voices, the chorus joining j he refrain, and the swaying, som- pient music depicts the rocking of fie gondola in the Venetian lagoons is the boatmen swing from side to side in their rowing It is not un- /usual for the whole audience to catch Ithe movement of the air and sway in their seats in time to the music. The opera is not so somber as most of the famous works, nor is it con nected as to plot. Hoffman, a stu dent, in a wine cellar with his com panions, is teased about his arrlburs. He replies: “I will tell you the story of my three loves.” The curtain then rises on “Olympia the Doll,” the first of the love tales. It changes to the story of Violetta and then to the tale of Antonia. Sometimes the first and third acts are transposed for great effect. Hoffman and his companion, Niclaus, are the only characters seen in all of the acts. At the end of the third tale the ■cene shifts back to the wine cellar, where the epilogue is sung. fte old saying—what is home without a mother iould add ‘‘Mother's Friend.” 1 thousands of American homes there Is a bot- 1 of this splendid and famous remedy that has ed many a woman through the trying ordeal. , f her from suffering and pain, kept her in 1th of mind and body in advance of baby’s 'ing and had a most wonderful influence in de- 'Ping a healthy, lovely disposition in the child, here Is no other remedy so truly a help to ore as Mother's Friend; It relieves the pain 1 discomfort caused by the strain on the ligaments.

CHRISTMAS SMC PLAN MAKES I HIT Hundreds of Children Have Be come Members of the “Club” Formed by Jravelers' Bank, A popular chord has been struck with the youngsters of Atlanta by the Christmas Savings Club plan recently Inaugurated by the Travelers Bank and Trust Company. A systematic plan to help the kids save their pen nies when they don't miss them, in order that they may have a fat little cheek to help sweeten the holidays, is something new in Atlanta, and the novelty, as well as the good sense of it. has helped the plan to “take hold.” Hundreds of children are going to the bank every day, carrying with them 1 cent or 2 cents or B cents for their first deposit, according to which class they want to Join, and are com ing away with the proud feeling that they have a bank account. Many par ents are opening club accounts in the names of their children, and then let ting the little ones com© weekly to make the deposits themselve*. J DECATUR LEADERS ACTIVE.

"There will be no flogging either of men or women in the Kentucky State Reformatory while I am warden, un less every other method of discipline fails,” was the assertion to-day of A. J. G. Wells, who was placed in charge of the .Kentucky institution a few months ago. Warden Wells is In Atlanta to at tend the sessions of the Southern So ciological Congress, which began to day. His attention was called to the re cent agitation by some of the Georgia convict camp wardens who wish again to b© given the privilege of whipping their women prisoners. It was then he made known his own policy in re spect to corporal punishment. Whfen he was told how county war dens are chosen in Georgia, choice be ing governed in many instances by friendship or political considerations, Warden Wells shook his head in dis approbation and remarked that a more destructive system and one more demoralizing to effective penolo gy could hardly be devised. How does he discipline these hard ened and vicious women and the near ly 1,400 men without the use of the lash? Here is his answer: By night classes attended by half the prison population. By a system of demerits imposed by a prison court of the same style as an ordinary police court—“except that we treat them better,” says the warden. By meetings for the guards and other prison officials, in which all the phases of criminal life and prison dis cipline are considered and planned. By deprivation of privileges for minor infractions of prison discipline; the solitary for more serious offenses. Warden Wells was a judge in Cal loway County during the night rider outrages, and won considerable fa- 1 vorable notice because of his adjudi cation of these troubles.
