HAPPY OCCASION.
Old Homestead Company Observes
ChrIstnns Eve.

one OF the nleasantest occasions Of
this Christmas week occurred at the
opera house last night, when the "Old
Homestead" company met for mutual
entertainment that only theater folk
know how to create. II was Just among
themselves, II was impromptu, and 1t
had never been done before. therefore 1t
was all the more enjoyable. Somehow
or other or some how else and by some
body or somebody use the idea was
suggested OF spending Christmas eve
in social entertainment, as the troupe
never plays on December "a. The lea
was enthusiasts tically adopted. and one
of the most enjoyable theatrical enter
tainments of the season had Manager
Grcenwull, Mrs. Greenwall, Miss t,reen-
wall and couple of newspaper men
for It's guests, and no others.
Among the first features was song
by the quartette whose fame extends
all over the length and breadth OF the
continent. The personnel OF this quar-
tette IA precisely the same as 1t was
ten years ago. when the play was first
presented by Denman Thompson In
New York. where II had a phenomenal
run for three years. 1t consists of A.
g. circuit. Gus Kammerlee. Val p,
Akerly and A. IL. Myers.
Then followed Rotations and songs
by different members OF the troupe, n
song by the lovely soubrette. Miss Ida

Frank Thompson, being particularly
pleasing, Each or these features were
contributed by the members for their
mutual entertainment.
In the center OF the stage was a
table heaped with mysterious packages
and toward this all eyes were turned
about 10 o'clock. After u happy speech
by william Warrington, Gus KammeS-
lee was Introduced as Santa Claus, and
at once began to distribute the pres
ents, calling the names of receivers
and senders. and accompanying each
presentation with fellcitous remnrk
that kent all In n merry humor.
Mr.. Warrington, one of the popular
managers, received n handsome silk
umbrella and numerous other pres
ents from different members of the
troupe. The company as a body pre-
scented him with n long, keen package.
which, when unrolled, was seen to be
walking cane OF striped candy. Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Thomson. Miss Lidn
Wells. Mr.. George Patch and others
were generously remembered, the pres
ents ranging from MIR. Warmlngton's
candy cane to diamonds and emeralds,
rings, watches. shirt studs, gold-mount-
eS opera glasses and so on.

FEW KNOW ABOUT THE SHAKERS.
An Interesting. GodsFeariss People Who
Have Given the World Many Important Dis
coveries.

We NAV not accept their peculiar religious
beliefs nor can we enter into the spirit OF their
sacrifices 1t is not necessary to believe as
they do, but we can and do respect their sim
cerity of purpose and the honor and upright
ness which marks all their business dealings.
The Shakers have always been successful in
ventors and some of the greatest of the con-
yeuiences of the present day found origin in
their settlements
In one particular they excel all other men or
classes of men, and that is in the cultivation
of medicinal herbs and plants and their prep
aration for use. They have made it study
for more than a hundred years. 1t is one of
their peculiar industries. Their lives have
been devoted to it,
Their latest and greatest achievement is the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t is not offered as
a cure for all diseases 1t does not pretend to
be. but one disease it will cure, and that is in
digestion.
Sufferers who resort to it's use have not long
to wait to see the result The effect is almost
immediate. The first dose usually gives re-
lief and if continued permanent cure will
follow.
1t not only contains already digested food
but il digests food as well, thus toning up the
general system. An interesting pamphlet is
now being issued by the Shakers and can be
had for the asking at almost any drug store.

No fruit is more attractive served au ma
turel accompanied only by its glossy,
deeply serrate leaves, than the cherry. II
seems almost Il pity to lose the natural
beauty and delicate favor by cooking. AT
the same time writer in Good House
keeping recalls the fact that little vari
ETY. is often desirable and gives with other
good recipes the following:
Cherry Sponge.-Beat eggs very light,
to the yolks add half a cupful of flour, wet
with cold milk, pinch of salt, one-half
teaspoonful of baking powder and pint
of hot milk; lastly add the beaten whites.
Have ready in buttered pudding dish a
half pint of stoned cherries sprinkled with
sugar. Pour the batter over them ard
bake in hot oven about 40 minutes.
Serve as soon as done, or it will fall
Cherry Charlotte.--Cuti in narrow strips
a few slices of stale sponge cake and ar
range these around the sides of deep
glass dish Stone a quart of fine, juicy
cherries and sprinkle lightly with sugar,
unless very sweet Pour these juice and
all, over the sponge cake. Now whip a
pint of sweet cream very stiff; swcetcn to
taste, color about half of it with red cherry
juice and pile it upon the cherries Let it
remain in the icebox until the moment OF
serving.

WELLESLEY'S FAIR COACH.
Miss Lucille HiN, the Bob Cook of the ra-
NOUS College For Women.

What Miss Lucille f. Hill does not know
about rowing would I'LL very slim pam
phlet and would make very little show
whatever in a book. She is in charge of
the department of physical training at
Wellesley college, and her particular fad is
rowing. She is young woman of ideas
and enterprise and introduced rowing ut
Wellesley about four years ago. She believes
that girl with sound heart and strong
lungs should have an opportunity to enjoy
all the sports that men indulge in, and
that of these sports one of the most enjoy
able and beneficial is rowing.
Every girl ut Wellesley who is strong
enough and desires to do so may go in for
rowing, and there is great rivalry among
the numerous candidates The freshmen
usually have two or three crews on the
water to struggle for the honor of being
the class crew, and the important qucs-
ton is decided each year upon float day
the great annual aquatic event at the col
lege. Miss Hill each year visits several Of
the colleges where rowing is pr;lcticed to
perfection, and not long ago she WAS tho
guest of the Yale crew at New London
She is IA cousin of Captain Fred johnson
