IL all plays put upon the stage
were as appropriately named, then
one need never fear when observing
one of becoming ennuiee or bored.
From the rising Of the curtain in the
first act TO its final fall at the end of
the last there was fun in the au-
dience as well as upon the stage,
which was shown by continued
laughter and applause caused by
some comical situation.
The motif" of the play lies in
the fact that Mrs. de Smythe, q
neuvean richie of New York, is
crazy upon the subject of live,
real Lord, and is anxious to mar
ry her niece, Miss Morton, to Lord
Chelsea, whom she expects TO visit
her.
Lord Chelsea wishes TO be loved
for himself and not for his rank and
title, sochanges place with his friend
Jack Earl. Similarly, Miss Morton
does not wish to be loved for her
money, so never having met her
aunt (Mrs. de Smythe) she changes
place with her friend Miss West.
Various complications ensue from
these changed positions, creating
intense and continued amusement
to the audience, which seemed to ZAP
preciate them thoroughly.
Considering the short time, 10
days, since the cast had time to
prepare for its represention, "All

THE VALUE OF LUNG BATHS.
By ALICE K. FALLOWS.

Breathing lessons for a human being
seem almost as foolish TO a casual thinker
as swimming lessons for a fish. But people
who have st-Iied the subject for years
say that three-quarters Of the world
breathes wrong. Humanity would be bet
ter and stronger and happier. they de-
clare. If it would pay attention to this
simple safeguard for health.
One Of the most enthusiastic believers
in right breathing has established a
school where she gives her pupils just the
particular training they need to correct
their faults Of breathing Those who come

so often graduate from her course with
rosy cheeks. sparkling eyes and whole
some interest in merely living that they
feel as ii breathing might cure anything
The general theory Of the breathing
school is founded on facts accepted with
out question by eFeryone-thgt there IS
no quicker way OF Whaling blood and
brain than through the luuE5. and that
life itself depends On an uninterrupted
supply Of air. But what the school
teaches that is new is the art OF using
breathing as a remedy and a tonic. The
requirements Of zach pupil are carefully
studied and the exercise fitted, according

same instruction
