ten, and doubtless a lot of the peers, will
hasten directly to photographer to have
all this transitory glory perpetuated. No
one can blame them, for it is the one occa-
sion when peers and peeresses look differ

1t must have been an ungallant old mas
ter of ceremonies who laid down the rules
that govern coronationS He provided that
all peers should have a page, not above
fourteen years old, to carry his coronet on
a cushion until the coming of the great
moment when the bauble was to be put on.
But 1t was provided also that the peereSseS
must carry their own coronets, and in
paintings of past coronations you can see
them looking awkward enough with coronet
In hand, as unhappy over it as man with
a SILK hat IN crowded church aisle. Half
dozen of these grand DANES, however, are
peeresses in their own right-the aged and
philanthropic Baroness Burdett-C outts, for
instance-and it is a question now being
considered gravely by the college of her
aids whether or not those excellent ladies
have right to pages.
officials Who Are HustIing.
1t is the college of heralds, with the
Duke of Norfolk at it's head, that is ar
ranging the historic details of all this Won
derful ceremony. That is about all the So
called college has to do, except look up
the pedigrees of ambitious folk who believe
themselves entitled to bear arms. Up to
the time of Queen Victoria's death the col
lege had been a rather sleepy institution
for the last sixty years, but it woke up
with start then, and had lively time of
it arranging for the Inauguration of the
new king.
Another department that has been stirred
up nightly over the coronation has been
the lord great chamberlain's office-a who'll
ly separate institution from the Office of
the lord chamberlain. There are those joint
hereditary lord great chamberlains, the
Earl of Ancaster, Earl Corrington and the
Marquis of Cholmondeley. What is worry
ing them at present is that applications for
a place in Westminster Abbey during the
coronation are made to them. After the
peers and peeresses and invited guests are
provided for, a few hundred seats will be
left, and several hundred thousand people
want those few hundred seats, and intend
to have them at any cost. The prospects
are not bright for the great flock of
Americans who are counting on seeing the
ceremony. CURTIS BROWN.

Mr.. f. H. Miller has been painting
most interesting picture of white COW
standing in the shady shallow water of
small pond. The COW Is painted with great
accuracy and strongly modelled, and the
surroundings are pleasantly picturesque, a
distant sunny field making a striking con-
trast with the cool. wooded shade. He has
also been finishing a large, attractive por-
trait of little girl, who Is seen seated
upon broad vine-covered piazza overlook
ing the Hudson river just as the first soft
sunset glow is creeping into the sky. The
face and figure are both painted with much
feeling and delicacy, and the background
lends picture element to the portrait,
which gives 1t a reasonableness and re-
moves the impression of formality which

cause the ice-man has lost so much
time that he cannot cover his whole

Akron is no longer country town."
Ice dealers attribute to three causes
the increased consumption of ice.
One is that people are prosperous and
can afford to buy; the second, that
Akron has grown rapidly and that
ice is no longer considered a luxury,
but a necessity; third, that people are
saving the water of melted ice for
table use. The water from which ice
used in Akron is made, is filtered sew
eral times and distilled If the re-
frigerator is kept perfectly clean, the
melted ice is the purest kind of water.

WHEN WE WERE TWENTY-oNE-
FRIDAY, DEC. 13
1t is generally conceded that Mr.
Esmond has given TO the stage u very
remarkable and wholesome play, When
We Were Twenty One comes at the
right time. 1t comes as a wholesome
check TO decadence and degeneracy. 1t
is sweet as mountain air that has been
kissed by the heather, and all the men
are brave. sympathetic, honest loyal
fellows They are not ashamed to wear
their hearts on sleeves, they do not care
how many davis peck at them. so wrote
the critic of the New York Herald
about the play When We Were Twenty
One. which will be presented at the
Park Theatre on Friday December, 13.
The play requires the most delicate
shading and artistic atmosphere. An
ordinary company would fail to appre-
ciate the subtilities of Esmond's deli
cious writing. This has been carefully
guarded against by presenting an or
ganization far above the average in
point of dramatic ability.
