The treatment that involved the use Of surgeons,

violent sprays, was contrary to all Natures laws

Now that the Cowden treatment has been 50

as the only cure for Deafness, the only treat

One of the famous Strand ghosts quaint In

impulse I have myself seen. although not on
the historic ground from which its vistations
cannot long be deferred 1t is a new and very
real Peg Wellington. Mr.. Greets company re-
vved the fine comedy. MASKS and Faces at
oxford last week. and repeated It twice at Eai-
ing each performance being received with every
sign Of public favor by crowded house MISS
Eleanor Calhoun was Peg Wellington. and she
played the part with distinction. brilliancy and
unerring instinct. She had taken 1t at eleven
days notice That brief and hurried in
terval in which to learn the lines and stage
work. and to practise two dances-a stately
gavOtte and a rOcking jig. Sometimes the
white heat Of condensed preparation is an ad-
vantage The leisure required for deliberate
study may be fraught with peril. since there
is time for slipping into mannerisms and stagi-
ness. This impersonation had the life-glving
touch of spontaneity. 1t had all the freshness
OF a sudden access Of deep feeling and creative
power
The first act was played with admirable va
