Thc au , thor had a real motivo In writing ' this play, for she wished to bring he ! fore tho public eye In a characterls ? tic and forceful manner tho evolu tion of an Illiterate family. The pro blem of this family was met and ' solved by a teacher of an adult ' school, who possessed the rare nnd -THRIFT Thats Up-to-Date. WHAT is Thrift any way? It is not thc hoarding of money. It is not less buying and less selling. It does not mean that you should tighten your purse strings forever. You should not close your purse and refuse to buy such merchandise that you would make your conditions better. The Thrifty Man will not allow his house or barn to rot down for need of roofing; nor will he allow his farm to wash away for thc want of good Implements. Good Tools and good Farm Imple ments are very assential to good living. ?fi To Make Money You MUST Invest Money. ?* Our stocks of good Tools, Farm Im plements and Building Material are com plete, and we will appreciate your patron age?

The family consists of the mother, and father, neither of whom at be ginning of the play, could read or write. Mrs. Anderson, even though advanced in years, bends all her en orgies "io learn to read." The sol dier boy, who has Just returned from tho war, where he received his first lessons, yearns with his whole heart and soul for a chance. He wonders if, through "Sand," his goal can be reached. And the youngest member of the family, a small urchin named Jimmie, n most natural boy, makes the family circle complete. Tho value of an education is not only brought out from an education al standpoint, but also from a social. When Miss Hary first enters the home, there is an air of untidiness and mismanagement. Old Man An derson could not be persuaded to work, but when Miss Gary returns five years later he was glad to help bis "old woman" bring in the stove wood. And five years later, what a different, atmosphere is found In this home. Where disorder prevailed now ls found tidiness and good order. What an attractive dining room, and what a cheery, homey sitting room, where any one would like to remain. Around tho whole place there is an i air of thrift and comfort. Romance, too, has its place in the play. The love plot and tho vlllian scheme aro skilfully interwoven. Miss Clary, who is the apex of the tri angle, finds the solution.
