Stnge Version ct The Vicar or Wake
neId" by Mr.. Irving aud His Company.

The dramatization by W. G. Wills OF Gold
smiths famous story. Tho Vicar OF Wake
field" was acted at the Star Theatre last even
ing by Henry Irving and his company. The
play is entitled OLIVIA" and II gives a repre-
sentation particularly OF those OF the good
clergymans sorrows that arise from his bank
ruptcy and the elopement OF his eldest daugh-
ter. Like the other stage versions Of the mar
rative this one Is not inlay to command nore
than quiet and perfunctory admiration; but
1t yields character in which Mr.. Irving
demonstrates his remarkable facility in
distinct Characterization. and so served
good purpose. Imagination can hardly
picture and surely no actor can portray. two
personages more com letely dissimilar than
Mr.. Irving's Louis Al and Dr Primrose One
Is an embodiment OF selfish craft and religious
cowardice. while the other Is controlled by
conscience and true piety. In each case the
nature OF the man Is perfectly expressed. and,
notwithstanding the actors own unconcealed
individuality. the bad hing and the good Vicar
Will not bear the slightest relationship with
each other in the memory Of those who see
them: 1t is by such performances Of
New lorks best esteem. At first IL was his
stage craft that succeeded here and there was
disposition TO rate him II little higher as a
dramatic manager than as an actor; but by
means OF one revelation after another in his
gallery OF portraiturc, from history and fiction,
roundlngs artistic ana beautiful as they are.
All the amianilty, patience, and ingenious
ness implanted in the Wear by his author are
fully preserved 10y his actor in this perform
anre. There Is even an appreciable amount OF
idealiZation. too. for tho character on the stage
is more delicate and tender than lie is in the
book. Ellen Terry is the OIriG. OF whom she
makes a mOthery sister OF the younger chill
uren. u winsome darling OF the father. and an
impulsiye sweetheart OF the lover with whom
she runs away. Her acting is damaged by
fdgetY nervousness. There is the proper
sweetness. aud unavoidaoly a lack OF strength,
in these pr incipals. and so the entertainment
which the play gives is delightful in its quiet
way. but not calculated TO arouse enthusiasm.

Canned Vegetables.

Some of the canned and dried veg
etables make healthful and economical
changes for the table. These veg.
etables should be treated with great
care. Canned peas and string beans
should be turned from the can into a
strainer and rinsed by pouring cold
water over them. AS a rule, these
vegetables are cooked enough in the
canning, and when to be served should
only be thoroughly heated and properly
seasoned. The simplest and best way
of preparing these two vegetables is to
add to can of vegetables, after being
rinsed, one large teaspoonful of butter,
one of sugar, one level teaspoonful of
salt and one gill of hot water. Place
on the fire and do not cook for more
than ten minutes. Canned corn is ex-
cellent if prepared in this manner:
Turn the corn into the double boiler
and add half pint of milk, one tea
spoonful of salt and one tablespoonful
of butter. Place on the fire until
thoroughly heated-say for about ten
minutes. 1t ruins corn to be over.
cooked. Dried Lima beans are de-
licious vegetable. Soak half pint over
night in cold water. The next day
drain off the water and rinse the beans
in fresh water. Put them on the fire
in one quart of fresh water and cook
slowly for two hours. Pour off all the
water except about gill; then season
with level teaspoonful of salt and a
tablespoonful of butter, and cook ten
minutes longer. Another way is to
pour off all the water and add gill OF
milk and the seasonings, the cooking
to be continued for ten minutes. The
cooked corn and beans may be mixed
just before being served, thus making
delicious succotash. There is almost
no end to the use to which canned
tomatoes can be put for soups, sauces,
entrees; and as vegetable they are of
great value. The store. closet should
never be without a few cans of this
useful vegetable. -Maria ParlOa, in

The Stitch In Time.

The "stitch in time" which saves
nine, the old proverb, is just as appli-
cable as it ever was, and it ought 10 be
a standard motto in the household econ
omy. To be sure, we are as people
enjoying greater degree of prosperity
than prevails anywhere else in the
world, without any doubt; but that is
no excuse for wastefulness or neglect.
If few moments time and little
skill will put garment, even if not
very valuable, in condition for further
service which otherwise it could not
render, that time and skill are well
spent in its repair. 1t is the looking
after these small amounts which make s
the difference between prosperity and
its opposite. Who but has heard ex-
CARNATIONS like this: "You may we'll
believe that l don't spend my time
darning holes when 1 can buy new
pair of whatever may be under con-
sideration and at comparatively small
figure. Oh, yes, the cost is small, to
be sure; but if that small amount could
be in hand at some time in the not dis
tant future, it would perhaps aid to Sc
cure some coveted article, or would add
30 much to the provident fund which
should be laid aside for that "rainy
day" which after all comes to so many.
