ADJUSTMENTS.

Under the Dome" the most preten-
tiOus of the Carter plays will come to
the Grand for three nights, opening
Thursday, October 70. AS a play It is
said to be far superior to anything
turned out by this successful author
heretofore. It is a high class naval
comedy drama, absolutely free from
cheap sensatlonalism and palpable APP
peals to the gallery. Not a shot is fired
throughout the play, with the excep-
ton of the admirat's salute fired by the
United States man Of war in honor Of
the flagship Trenton. The scenery is
both effective and abundant and the
play is being interpreted by a compe-
tent cast.

SHORT ENGAGEMENTS.
4 Custom That Too often Results in
Unhappy Matrimonial
Alliances.

To announce an engagement in these
days is to announce a marriage within
six months. Long engagements are out
of date, although quite common some
years ago. Whether this curtailing of
the courting period is desirable depends
of course upon circumstances.
Unless two people learn to know each
other before marriage, how can they
be sure of marital happiness? And if
their love cannot survive long engage
ment, is it rational to suppose that it
will survive marriage?
Society, which permits the hasty mar
riage of mere acquaintance, will not
allow the privilege of loving and hoping
simply because the elimination of their
loves and hopes is in the future. 1t
cannot be because they do not trust
the American girl and man.
The custom which demands short en-
gagements is unhappy in every particu-
lar. How is it possible for two young
people to know each other in six
months, when half that time is spent by
the bride in preparing her trousseau?
True, they were acquainted before they
became engaged, but merely ac-
quainted.
1t is argued that long engagements
seldom result in marriage. If this is
true, ii is lucky for the parties that
their engagements are broken. 1t shows
that they could not happily marry.
Marriage is, or ought to lie, serious
Institution. Deliberation should prove
of benefit and not of harm. People
learn to be more sure of their feelings !;
they gain tact; they learn to pardon
faults that might have been magnified
into crimes if the marriage had been
hastened; and they come to regard mar
riage itself not as a grand honeymoon,
but as "A continuation of their life
journey sweetened by companionship.

A TRUE TALE.
How n Young Girl Frightened ON
British Soldiers During the
wnr of 1912.

"Oh, If were only a mani" exclaimed
Rebecca Bates, girl of il, MS she looked
from a window Of lighthouse at
Scituate, Mass, during the war of 1912,
and saw British warship anchor in the
harbor.
What could you do?" asked Sarah
Winsor, a young visitor, "See what a
lot of them the boats contain, and look
at their gunS!" And she pointed to five
large boats filed with soldiers in scar
let uniforms, who were coming TO burn
the vessels in the harbor, and destroy
the town.
81 don't care; I'd fight" said Rebec-
ca. I'D use fathers old shotgun-any-
thing How still il is in the town !!
There is not man to be seen!"
"Oh, they are hiding till the soldiers
get nearer, Then we'll hear the shots
and the drum"
The druml" exclaimed Rebecca.
How can they use it? 1t is here. Fa-
ther brought it home last night to
mend. Seel They are going 10 burn
fathers sloop! Where is that drum ?
I've a mind to go down and beat it,"
As flames began to rise from the
sloop, the ardor of the girls increased.
They found the drum and an old fife,
and slipping out of doors unnoticed by
Mrs. Bates, soon stood behind row of
sandhills.
"Rub-a-dub! Rub-a-dub-duh!" went
the drum, and squeak, squeak,
squeak" went the fife.
The Americans in the town thought
that help had come from Boston, and
rushed into boats TO attack the red
coats. The British paused in their worl;
of destruction; and, when the fife be-
gan TO play yankee Doodle" they
scrambled into their boats and rowed
in haste to the warship, which sailed
swiftly away.-Nlail and Express.

BRAVE YOUNG WOMAN.
She Got Away with the Oysters Bat
Not In the Ususi Man

A young girl from the state OF Washing.
ton who came cast to visit a western sen.
stor's family last winter, had an experiences
she hasn't forgotten yet. The first few days
OF her stay in the capital were spent there,
aud her meals were sent to her room. On
the very first evening she ordered oysters
for dinner. Now, she knew nothing of a
real, hfe.sized oyster, having spent all her
days on the Pacific coast, where oysters are
not oysters at all, but something altogether
different. She was young and exceedingly
inexperienced, and she said to the waiter:
Bring me 80 oysters
The waiter gasped.
'ls that ally" he said.
"0h, no, she answered, cheerfully. Bring
newell, dinner, too.
She saws herself that she had to shut her
eyelids tight to keep her eyes from pop
ping clear out of her head when she saw the

She locked the door after the astonished
waiter. and opened the window. IL was q
dark night, but she could see the roofs OF
the adjoining houses almost within arm
reach beneath her window. Only a narrow
alley separated the buildings. She took
fork. and deity and dexterously, one b,

CHIIDREN'S FASHIONS.
white Frocks and Cumming Bonnets
for Mny Tots the Conn
ing Summer.


Charming little dresses for girls for
spring and cool summer day wear are
made from the soft silk warp fabrics,
such as Lansdowne, Henrietta. poplin
and yendella, and from the fine all
woods, such as cashmeres, ribbons
shirred over their own cords being used
for trimmings.
Girls skirts are gored. but do not
have the ultra-sGeath effect of the skirts
in vogue for their elders. The prettiest
bodices for girls are those which, in
reality or appearance, are worn with
under bodices.
A model that is becoming to girls
from four to six falls straight from a
short yoke, the seam being hidden un-
der a deep yoke shaped in four long
tabs. A picturesque hat for such a
frock is large straw with wide brim,
trimmed only with "A crown sash and
huge sweeping bow of silk ribbon.
Piques are shown in many styles for
both little boys and girls OF all sizes.
| They are attractive when new, but
they are difficult to laundcr, a fact
worthy the attention of the mistress of
the household where labor is at pre-
MUM. They should always be shrunk
before they are cut.
For wraps there is nothing jauntier
! for small children than the reeTer
| Jacket; these are made in n wide range
of materials this spring, from plain
cloth to pique. Some are braided, some
are trimmed with heavy lace, overlaid
on collars, put on jabot style down the
! edges from plaits, set on or in plaits in
insertion style, etc. Wide-shaped col
lars are on practically all children's
garments.
There is a marked revival of white
and wash goods for children's wear
The children in fashionable families
are frocked in white Sunday, Monday
and every day in the week all the year
round. Necessary warmth is secured in
underclothes which reach from neck to
ankles and in outer wraps.
Nothing washes SO easily and well as
white, and it soils no more quickly
than any light-hued wash fabric. But
there are, none the less, many pretty
giEghams and percales from which &c
make selection.
The little tots too young for straw
hats are wearing delightfully."- pretty
headgear made of shirred, finely twillet
japanese silk, with plaitings of null
which fluff and fall and fly about tn,
face. Lace is interspersed with the mul
on some hats, and bows of ribbon ant
rosebuds are a pretty addition. Tit
close-fittiDg bonnets are not confined
to infants this spring, some of then
being made with lacelike straw braiC
crowns, and looking quaint as can b'
on little women who have reached tn,
toddling stage.-Gentlewoma

To Toast Biscuits.

Toasted biscuits are better If, after
being split into halves, they are plunged
quickly into hot water and taken out
at once; they should then be put on
the broiler and roasted the split side
down, over a clear fire until brown.
Soft Boston crackers make "A good side
dish for the children's luncheon, SINH
larly toasted, arranged on a platter,
with boiling water poured over them
and drained off at once. They should
be softened, but not broken. A little
piece of butter, salt and pepper is put
quickly on each slice before they are
