Frank Bunker Gilbreth, the father, was of the opinion that all the twelve child- ren should be boys, after the trouble he had with his teen -age daughters. Anne fEleanorJ, the oldest, was the most trouble. The others, Martha fCarollj and Ernestine fConnieJ, were also thorns in the side of their efficiency expert father, who thought the home could be run 'just like a factory. The developments that ensued after the step-up of Mr. Gilbreth's efficiency program, in an effort to leave the family prepared for his trip to Europe, and Anne's amorous adventures with her frightened boy-friend, were, at the very least laugh provoking

Junior Play WHICH SHALL HE MARRY? By Omeara Denison . According to the terms of his late grandfather's will, Dick will inherit two million dollars provided he spends a week in the Randolph home and before the end of that week proposes to and is accepted by the one of the five girls who is his grandfather's favorite . The name of the favorite is to be disclosed to Dick by the lawyer after the proposal. Each girl outdoes herself to impress Dick. Elaine, the beauty, completely dazzles him for a day. Susan, the brains of the family, interests him for a short time. Patience, the good angel of the family, drags him around to visit the sick and poor, thus winning his temporary admiration. Frankie, the athlete, wears him down with hikes, riding and tennis . The fluttery, effusive mother practically referees the contest, driving Dick almost to distraction. But his lifesaver is plain Mary jane, the quiet little home-maker, who curiously enough is his grandfather's favorite . The part of thecolored cook Magnolia and the attourney are small but important parts .
