OF the way in which she achieved that
innocence and simplicity Of manner
which writer's have raved about as the
perfection Of art. The simple Yvette
was, it seems, originally a dressmaker's
model, and did not like it. The bust
ness was not spirituelle enough. So she
studied the concert halls and said to
herself: "Here chanteuses ex.entique

early in September. Mr.. Seabrooke's
new play has not yet been named, but
it is going forward rapidly to completion.
When first contemplating the change
from comic opera to comedy, Mr.. Sea
brooke felt some trepidation as to the
outcome. That feeling has disappeared
owing to the very strong demand for
time and the fact that managers who
were holding dates for Seabrooke in
opera were more than willing to keep
their theatres open for his appearance
in comedy.

longer in favor with the patrons Of

His place on the stage has never been

going to try to stop this gap. Mr.. Mack

Cawtnorne appears in "a Cork Man."
Cawthorne already has a reputation as
comedian of considerable magnitude and
the piece is by Hoey. 1t will be full of

The engagement that seems to be recog-

present "The Lady of Lyons" and in the
evening Sardou's comedy ''The Paris

Rhea at the home of L. M. Crawford

While Madame Rhea has been severely

is far too much tree planting of this
kind on Arbor day. In many an instance
plot of ground has been replanted year
after year. I fancy we will have to
reach more nearly to the stage of tree
appreciation before Arbor day will be
pre-eminent success.
Can we not indeed accommodate our
selves little more to the trees growing
where nature planted them? know q
village well where the houses are placed
to accommodate the trees that stood
there when the spot was wilderness.
The main street is little crooked, but
what noble street it isl I recall, as I
write these lines, many Friends meet
ing house and one country school, where
splendid oaks are standing near by, and
to those who gather daily or weekly
here, whether children or grown peo-
pie, the trees are no less dear than the
buildings beside them. The wanderer
who revisits the scenes of his childhood
looks first at the trees and then at the
houses Tree worship. we are told, was
once very prevalent, and it is not to be
regretted that in a modified form it still
remains with u.s.
AS a practical matter, let me here
throw out the suggestion that he will be
doing most excellent work who saves
tree each year. This is a celebration
that needs no special day set forth by
legislative enactment. How often have
heard farmers remark, cit was a mis-
take to cut those trees downP' OF course
it was. In nine cases out of ten the val
ne of the trees felled proves less than
was expected and quickly follows the
realization of the fact that when stand
ing their full value was not appreciated.
Think of cutting down trees that stand
singly or in little groups in the middle
of fields because it is a trouble to plant
around them, or for the reason that they
shade the crops too muchl What of the
crop of comfort such trees yield to both
man and beast when these fields are
pastures?
''But there is no money in shade
trees" cannot repress my disgust
when I hear this, and have heard it
often. Is there genuine manhood in
those who feel this way toward the one
great ornament of our landscape?-

Evans most important witness, col

induced to go to California by some of

was required before the Portlanders

OBJECT OF ARBoR DAY.
To Undue the Young With a Love For
Trees.

To Undue the Young With a Love For
Trees.
Has it occurred to you that, with the
inauguration of Arbor day in almost all
the states, we inaugurate an era of re-
form? Have the boys and girls under
stood that, in planting the shade and
lawn trees with festive celebration, they
do not only start a new vegetable
growth, deriving pleasure from the work
and its progress from year to year, but
they also plant the seed of new era in
the economy of our nations; that they
foreshadow reform in our methods of
utilizing the bountiful resources of our
country?
What is the object of Arbor day? To
plant shade trees and have a good time?
Oh, mol Although the setting of tree
is useful and pleasurable, although the
festivities attending it are pleasurabIe
and useful in impressing the mind with
the memory of the occasion, the deeper
object of Arbor day is to so Undue the
coming generations with love of tree
growth and tree planting that out of
nation of woodchoppers there may arise
asnation of tree planters and foresters.
When first our forefathers came to
tA4o OOuAtIys ~ Was a OO1loO AOA Oo0s 1A0
to make fields and agriculture it was
necessary to get rid of the forest at any
cost. This has produced in our nation
hatred against trees, and we have cut
away and slashed and burned, until now
it becomes necessary to cry halt and
reverse our actions. With the opening
up and settlement of the treeless prai-
ries and plains the settlers in that new
country have learned to appreciate the
usefulness of trees, and it is to one of
those states-Nebraska- Arbor day
owes its origin.
What more encouragement to go on
with this work need there be for pa
triotic American boy than the thought
that by his action he is helping to shape
the development of his people and his
country in the right direction?-B. E.
