A Good P1sy.

The thing that seems most Interesting
after seeing the first ar of q good play
is the ingenious and IL teresting way in
which the story has bet n told to us. We
have been introduced r all, or nearly all,
the characters; we ! ave learned their
names and relations 20 each other; we
have seen something Of the motives that
underlie their actions, and we see that
their actions have led to a most interest
ing point in the story. We are eager to
learn more; we want to see what is to
become of the people. Will they get out
of their troubles? Will the lovers be
united. the good rewarded and the wick
ed punished as they deserve? We have
had a problem. in human conduct pre-
sented to us, and we look forward with
pleasure to its solution.-Werner's Maya

Dear the friends each heart remembers,
As in cheer we stir the embers,
Bid the ash renew its beauty,
Sparkle, flash and glow till duty,
Through the comfort of the hour,
Woos our soul,
And we deem its sterner dover
