"PLERRE EFT LOUISE"

FARGO Written Expressly for.Her Pupils
by Madame Celins c. Early.
The Young Ladies' Literary Society of
the Virginia College for Young Ladies
will present an original farce comedy
"Pierre ct Louise" which was written
by Madame Celine c. Early expressly
for this occasion, Saturday, December
1S, beginning at 7:30 p. M, for the pur-
pose OF adding to the literary funds
Tickets can be procured by those
holding invitations at johnson IL John
sons.
The play ia described by the author
as follows; 1t has not been the ambi.
tion of the author in presenting this
to attempt play on the Shakespearean
order, for it must be remembered that
every Frenchman prefers live Sardou
to dead Shakespeare. However, it is
to be hoped that 1t may give pleasure
1t will be very difficult to explain a
play full of tho inimitable French
grace and wit to an English audience,
ana yet one rests assured that even a
meagre and faulty explanation will
force the audience to admit that "the
trenchman invented tho rufiie, al
though an American added tho shirt
Therefore for the benefit of those who
do not understand the French language,
tho following sketch of the farce is
offered.
Tho origin of the May festival dates
from the time of Louis NV, a time
when the nation swan
Down the full tide OF Jest and cpigram-
The careless timc-whcn Frances blucst blood
Beat to the tune OF After us the Flood"
At that time tho first Of May was a
holiday. Tho play opens on holiday
scene and 1t Is in the midst Of the fes.
tival that Madame Favrot, the widow OF
4 retired Partisan grocer, who keeps by
way of memorial the show figure OF the
store in her own house, enters in quest
OF cook and general servant She
wishes also, to engage some nurses,
provided She can find any who are &C
compllshed in the arts of thmetic,
grammar, history, and spelling How
ever she gets no very satisfactory re-
plies in the latter case, as there was no
provision for the "higher education OF
women" in these primeval DAYS.
The nurses one and all assure her
woman has no use for arithmetic, gram.
mar, history and spelling. She does
succeed finally in engaging a cook,
Louise by name, who is to follow her to
Paris.
Scene second finds Louise in Paris
keeping house for Madame Favrot
Pierre, her lover, who is still living in
the suburbs, has been planning to visit
her and through some mischance comes
too soon. He is made welcome by
Louise all the same who offers him
tempting viands but forbids him to
smoke in the house assuring him that
the madame would at once detect the
scent OF tobacco.
She sits down for a long tete-a-tete
with him. In the midst of this pleasant
scence Madame Favrot, who was away
from home at Pierre's arrival bursts in
upon them. Poor Louise is badly
frigh toned and to hide Pierre decides
to dress him up as the show figure
This she does and while Madame
Favrot is scoiding her she leans for
support on this figure which does not
possess it's wonted stiffness. Madame
Favrot has sharp eyes and sees the
figure move slowly. Now is her turn
to become frightened. She faints, but
is restored in time to forgive and bless
the happy couple.

New England Pie of the Roal Sort.


In New England there is pie for the
morning meal, and the whole hearted farm
er boasts, Il may not be as forehanded as
some, but I've never seen my breakfast
table without pie" Henry Ward Beecher
never did a grander deed than when he
sang the glories of apple pie. And there
are other kinds of pie. Pumpkin pie, made
in the proportion of a cupful of pumpkin to
pint of milk, with beaten egg and a
dainty flavorng of spice baked in crust
which hardened n bit in the oven while the
mixing went on; mince pie which is not
the tough little mass of jellied citron and
candied orange peel, baked in the shape of
what the small girls calls "turniper" and
supplied with sirup through n hole in the
top crust in way unpleasantly suggestive
of ii lamp being fed with oil. as are the
mince pies of England.
In this land the housewife adds to one
third of minced apple two-thirds Of chop
ped and cooked lean beef, puts in cupful
OF molasses for each pie, adds soupcon of
brandy if she doesn't belong to the w. C.
T. u, and some cold, black coffee il she
does, spreads the filling on the crust, sticks
1t full of plump raisins and covers it with
delicate blanket of dough crimped on the
edges with fork 1t is baked almost as
lengthy time as the Peterkins' ounce
sauce was cooked. las long as the fire lasts
and then better be put on the next day."
and it's more than worth eating when
done, writes one who celebrates in Good
Housekeeping the praise of New England
cookery
