Away up on top of the Christmas
tree stood a little gold dancer with
a bright silver star on her head. She
stood up extremely straight and stiff,
for she was determined to look re-
fined and aristocratic despite the
natural inconvenience Of it.
If she envied the doll in the red
skirt that hung on the tree in vulgar
though pleasant ease, with arms and
legs dangling ungracefully but COM
fortably, she made no sign. And as
for the clown with the drum-she
looked fixedly over his head. He did
not care, but continued to grin up at
her with unabashed impudence.
That was only natural. for the
clown was lowLborn Considered
critically. he was really nothing ex-
cept a spiral steel spring and a bit
of green and yellow cambria.
However, the little gold dancer was
not so truly aristocratic by birth, as
she wished IL 10 appear. For while
on her mothers side there had been
some real gold leaf in the family, her
father was short. stubby unkempt
paste brush. smelling rather badly OF
cheap glue.
stu, none OF the brilliant society
on the Christmas tree knew that; and
you may be sure that the little dancer
talked Of everything else rather than
OF the attic where she was born.
She criticized the decorations and
furniture Of the fine room with a
freedom that showed an the others
that she knew what belonged 20 wealth
and culture. And she mentioned the
pictures la the illustrated papers and
the stntueites and other works ~ art

The making of an ordinary threati-

that requires a great deal of skill;
"Alice in Wonderland" demands not
only masks, but variety of strange
figures and animal DISCUSSES bewilder-

versa. Humpty looks very miserable
as he sits disconsolately on the top
of a basket, while a man bestows a
lovely brightness upon his left eye
with a dab of the paint brush. The
figure is absolutely head and body
combined, with short legs and arms
so constructed that the actor who
gives the dwarf voice also moves his
legs and arms quite naturally. The
huge head is made of papier mache,
shaped in a mould.

The reception at the E Jiscopal

success. Over sixty people at

pleasant social ADJUSTMENTS and
games until about 10 o'clock when
the vestry men marched in laden
with good things to eat and they
mad an abundance. After feeding
every one present with all they
could hold and two newspaper

left OF splendid ham and tur-
key sandwiches, crackers and
cheese pickles, olives, hot cot
fee and chocolate, several kinds
OF cake, brick, Ice cream, and so on,
Everybody had a most pleasant
