Cohan is easily the best member OF the

by a grace and finesse that are quite de-

efforts in this line with her brother are
perhaps the most entertaining portion Oh

The Lnrayettc-"Rosc

Last night the Lafayette stock COM
pany returned to its home after weeks
wandering and was accorded such n well
come as to leave no doubt in the minds
of the players in regard to the esteem
in which they are held by the local Iub-
lie. The occasion was notable from more
than one point. not the least OF which was
the debut of Miss Percy Haswell as the
leading woman of the company. Miss
Haswell has always enjoyed the favor of
Washington theatre patrons. and, aside
from her work with W. H. Crane. her
association with the Morris Stock Com
pany at the Columbia last summer found
her place in their regard, proof OF
which was clearly manifested when she
appeared here few weeks ago with Otis
Skinner. Now that she has come to stay,
it goes without saying that the people OF
Washington will give her the support
which the merit of her work demands.
The play selected for this weeks bill
is Rosemary" Aside from the fact that
the piece is written in three acts and an
appendix. the latter occurring hfty years
later, it presents nothing new as regards
construction. 1t is a delightful comedy,
refre shing in its simplicity and appealing
in its pathos. The characters are we'll
drawn and clear cut, SO that each seems
TO stand alone and to demand the best
that is in player in its Interpretation.
Miss Easweil Is particularly suited to
such characters as Dorothy Cruickshank.
and last night added another to the many
roles which have made her so popular
here The arllessness. playfulness. and
absence Of coquetry to which Dorothy
treats Sir Jasper and her undisguised love
for William Westwood were beautifully
and daintily done. Mr.. Eugene Ormonde
was somewhat of surprise in the role
of Sir Jasper. IT Is not an easy task for
a man to follow two popular stars. neither
IL it fair to make comparisons in such
case. But Mr.. Ormonde. however. need
have no fear. fer his Sir Jasper is one OF
the best things he has done since the sea
son at the Lafayette was inaugurated.
Robert Rogers was happily cast as Cap
tain Cruickshank. X. N 1t is fine char

best, an opportunity hitherto denied him

T. Plants have q life. They live and

light, fresh Dir, proper temperature.
proper soil, water . nd moisture. I'm
INSTRUCTED daylight exposure should be
given when possible. To better obtain
this, keep your plants as near the win
dows as possible. Roll up the shades.
Throw back the curtains. Your carpets
may fade. but the plants will take on
enough extra brightness to make up
for all the loss In poorly lighted ex-
posture palms, ferns. rubber plants.

II you can change the air from time

keep the atmosphere moist, and have
plenty of sunlight success Is assured.
If possible. get good, strong, healthy
plants to start with. Do not overcrowd
the plants Better to keep few well
than a large number poorly cared for.
Whenever possible, house plants should
be kept In porous earthen fiowerpots,
with detached saucers. The soil should
be a rich mellow loan. mixed with
we'll rotted manure or leaf mold (cow
manure preferred) and about one-tifth
sharp sand. with about the same
amount of manure. The plants should
have as much light as possible during
the day and at darkness, with lower
ing temperature at night. Growing
plants appear to require rest. A uni
form temperature Of 60 degrees to 20
degrees In the daytime and so degrees
to 70 degrees at night will usually give
the best results.
Great care should be exercised in
watering. as proper watering and mois.
ture are almost everything in the care
of plants. Overwhelming Is easily done
to their injury, and If unduly dry. they
perish. Give those which are not in an
active growing condition little water,
but as soon as there are signs OF
growth increase the supply.
Apply no stimulant of any kind to a
plant not in a condition Of growth.
Some persons, when they see that q
plant is not growing, dose it with stim-
ulants and fertilizers and in most cases
kill it. All plants are sure to be ln-
jured by an application Of this kind un-
less in a condition to make use of 1t.
