FRENCH MOTHERS
TO BE SUBSIDIZEE
Harper's Bazar for February says
One of the most remarkable result
- of the war is a plan in France fo:
subsidizing motherhood. A bill whicl
provides for a certain sum of mone:
to be given for the first child, an<
other sums for each succeeding child
is soon to be introduced. There i
sure to be an increased birth-rate ii
consequence. How often have w<
heard a father or mother say: "Yes
we should so much like to have an
other child to grow up with this on<
but we cannot afford it. It will tak<
all the money we can save to giv<
this one a start in life." The feelinj
of financial responsibility for thei:
children is deeply rooted in Frencl
parents.
Here is an idea that American
might well think about. But it i
only one of the unusual pieces o
news we find in the current issue o
Harper's Bazar. As a journal whicl
brings you the latest and most inter
esting news from all countries, Har
per's Bazar is without rival amonj
American magazines.

N'S SYNCOPATED SUCCESS,
Y.FEB. 7. SEATS SELLING.
Me Around," already familiar here
to the fox-trotters and one-steppers,
none of them lacking in snap and
tunefulness, but all musically cynical,
so to speak. Wherever a song
showed danger of becoming soft and
drippy, Mr. Berlin ragged it to life
again. Grand opera not excepted. In
fact, quite the beBt part of the music
was the tasty way in which "Rigoletto"
was ragged without absolutely
desecrating it.
Girls: Gay and giddy, possibly the
best lookers that a road show haa
ever produced.
