Hunt is the title of a book by Miss
Helen NJ. Knowlton of Boston, formerly
of Worcester, which will be published
by Little, Brown & Co., this autumn.
Miss Knowlton was one Of Mr.. Hunts

willis new play, will have its first initial
production in Washington on the 18th
of this month. By that time Mr.. Gang
will will doubtless have forgotten the
bad quarter of an hour that he had in
Deal, when the play was first pro-
duced for copyright purposes. The adj
mission fee then was S., and one per-
son comprised the audience. The law
requires that such a performance be
advertised in the regular way, and that
gave Mr.. Zangw1A no end of trouble
for although Deal is an out-of-the-waY
place, he feared that the printer to
whom he gave the job of printing would
give the job away, and that in conse-
quence of the lead London newspaper
men would come down and attempt to
witness the play and write up the story
and situations. The thought finally oc-
CURED to him to have his work done at
the office Of the Jewish Chronicle in
London at night by one man, the editor
being pledged to secrecy. And so Mr..
zangwilrs secret was kept.
Mrs. Carrie King Hunt has returned

probably give a program at one of their
morning concerts this winter. Mrs.
Hunt will also continue her musical
lectures to pupils and friends and has

necessary to throw overheard a part of
the cargo. Sir Thomas had watched
with deep interest the preparations for
Tightening the ship, when suddenly he
bolted from the scene, and by a S25
uicker with the chief engineer, secured
q stencil paint brush and pot of black
paint. Then, to the establishment of
passengers and captain, he cheerfully
Labelled each boz and bale thrown

cargo ioated ashore and for miles the
literal of Araby and other lands were
strewn with it, while wondering
natives saw the legend
On reaching land, Upton was the first
