THE MOTH AND THE FLAME"

"THE MOTH AND THE FLAME
"The Moth and the Flame with the
Kelcey-Shannon Company, comes to
the Opera House next Tuesday night.
It is a strong drama from beginning
to end. Striking and bold originality
is its keynote It is logically, if dar-
ingly cOnstructed it pictures fashion
able society in the most brilliant COM
edy colors. but a strain Of tragedy un-
derlies the current of every human life.
So it breaks into the life Of this play
throwing a shadow as deep as fate
upon the scene. The dialogue is crisp
and witty, often cynical, and yet ring
ing so true that the spectator trembles
under the revelation. Everything dur
ing the performance happens in such a
natural manner. The actors move
about, talk. laugh and suffer so natu-
rally that an onlooker feels as if the
play were going on in the midst Of his
own life. The presentation here will be
seen with the same company which has
characterized it for the past two years
in all the principal cities, and during
its 125 nights run at Daniel FrOhman's
New York Lyceum Theatre.

The young people in the families of
the cabinet members are always well
come visitors at the White House, and
Christmas day is peculiarly the carnival
of the children there. Mrs. Mckinley
looks forward to this holiday through
out the entire year. making liberal pre-
paration for its celebration. Fancy
work engages much of her attention.
She knits and crochets boudoir shoes,
which are presented to men, women and
children, although for the latter her
favorite gifts are small pieces of jewel
ry 1t has been estimated that she has
made about four thousand pairs of slip
pers, which have given ease and COM
fort to many weary feet. Her faithful
French maid, Claire, puts the soles ON
the slippers as fast as they are COM
pleted, and they are then put away
against Christmas tide.
Mrs. MeKinley's favorite color is blue,
and she likes to have all her holiday
packages ready and tied with blue rib
bons, so that on Christmas morning,
when the gleeful children come to show
her their gifts, she is prepared to add
to their treasures. Among the Christ
mas visitors to the White House dur
ing the present administration are the
two little daughters of Attorney Gen
eral Griggs, the two children of Sec
rotary Porter, the son of Vice President

close relations with the chief executive
or his household. When all are assem-

danced in the spacious rooms to the
music of the Marine band, more than a
quarter of a century ago.
Wagon-loads of gifts are received at
the White House at Christmas time,
They come from all parts of the coun-
y,the majority of them from persons
unknown to the president and his wife.
These miscellaneous articles are the
private property of the recipients, and
the numerous parcels are placed in one
of the family rooms for examination.
They generally contain the names Of
the donors, and to all these notes of
thanks are sent. On Christmas eve all
the employees of the house-the clerical
staff, the ushers and the domestic SER
vants-are given, through the estab-
lished munificence OF the president, a
fine fat turkey. Fifty fowls, selected
from the best in the market, are pur-
chased for this event, so that everybody
about the famous mansion has reason
Tor rejoicing. No one expresses his hap
plness with a more beaming counten-
ance than does Jerry Smith, the old COL
ored man, who has been a member of
the presidential household since the he
ginning Of Grants first term. Jerry was

with a woman missionary in Persia,

things that would not seem to be prac-
