Rebekah's Entertainment.

Last Monday evening the I. y. o. p.
Hall was crouded to see the Mock
Initiation" given by the Rebekahs.
Promptly at 8 O'Clock the program
began by vocal selection by Miss Mary
Hull, which was rendered in a most ac-
ceptable manner, as was demonstrated
by the repeated calls for an encore.
Following was well rendered and an
propriate piano selection by Miss Esther
Underwood which was also encored.
Mrs. Underwood then took her station
at the piano, and as the sweet strains of
music came forth the doors were opened
and the Daughters of Hilario ,Jocundi
marched In dressed in black capas ard
caps followed by Gee " hiz and Great
Scott dressed in black robes, caps and
masks of long. flowing boards.
After the usual salutations the pre-
ldlng officer commanded Pions Primas

Weary Willie, who was enough over
dressed and underfed to make the aver.
age hobo ashamed of himself. The
candidate was given all the tess and

the efficient manner in which they CON

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Electrical Cookery.

The advantage of cooking by electric
lty as summed up by housekeepars who
are using it are these: There is no
smoke, fame or SCOT and of course no
ashes or the dust arising from them
In fact, when in use there is nothing
visible to indicate the presence of heat
The disks and broilers look exactly the
same as when cold, but the cooking
goes on just the same as 1t goes on over
a gas flame or a bed of Goals.
Not even match is necessary, and
when one reflects what q boon the in
ventiOn of the match must have been
to housekeepers it seems strange that
with electric lighting and heating that
useful little implement is likely to be-
come practically obsolete in domestic
use. There is no fuel and no large
range, the apparatus being accommo-
dated on any convenient table. There
Is no vitiation of the atmosphere and
practically no emanation of heat into
the room.
OF course 1t would be idle to say that
an oven heated to the roasting point
radiates no heat, but probably there is
no system of cooking where this is so
little as by electricity. There is no la
Dor I'm maintaining a uniform heat and
no danger OF fire or explosion. Tt is
quickly available and of high eficien-
cy. II properly cared for the cost of
service is no greater than for coal. For
baking operations like boiling a hen
or baking beans the heat can be turned
to the low point, and the cooking viii
go on as rapidly as such viands require.

had become completely ratified" tried

before.

could not afford to waste his time cod

condemn her, as she suited his fancy.

her place was taken by her understudy.

Mcleod, when he saw her, had not
the slightest remembrance of having
ever seen her before. Not SO Miss
Cheever. SIZE noticed him sitting In
one Of the foremost rows directly be-
meath her and recognized at once the
man who had sounded her stage death
knell before she had ever trodden the
boards. Perhaps it. was because for
five long years since she made her de-
but In part usually given to a super
she had met with little success, per-
haps 1t was that woman does not
take kindly to criticism. Be the cause
what 1t may, she had never for
given Dennis Mcleod. However, she
had made the most of the training he
had given her and had come to initiate
his methods in parrotlike fashion
that had given her meager living.
Miss Cheever played to an audience
disappointed at having missed star
and obliged to put up with an under
study. She went through her part la
bOriously, and as she came to the diff
ferent points In the play In which Nc.
LeOd had given her especial drilling
did her best to honor his instruction.
In this she had decidedly improved,
and the critic became interested.

the criticism he would hand in to the

OF tobacco smoke.


Miss Cheever retired to her dressing
room to weep. She knew that on this
first occasion Of her playing promi-
nent part she had made a dismal fall
ure, and that in the presence of the
man who had warned her to choose an
other occupation. But, womanitke, she
illogically blamed Mcleod for her fall
ure rather than her want of histrlOnic
ability. From tears she passed to III.
ritation and from irritation to anger.
The curtain went up for the second
act, and Miss Cheever took her place
on the balcony. Romeo spoke those
poetic lines beginning:
He Jests at scars that never felt .
wound.
But soft! What light through yonder
window breaks?
1t is the east, and Juliet is the sun!
The man was splendid actor and
gave them beautifully. Juliet was be-
tween two influences. On the one
hand she felt the inspiration Of the
scene, on the other she was in a rage
with Mcleod, whom she could plainly
see from her perch. Then came her
own lines:
Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name,
Or, IL thou wilt not be but sworn my
love.
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
Whether it was inspiration or def
ance she never knew, but something
prompted her to speak the lines in the
fashion Mcleod had tried to train out
OF her, and she gave them with all the
natural feeling the part, the scene, the
impelling recklessness impaired.
A hush came over the audience.
Romeo spoke the single line:
Shall I hear more or shall / speak at
this?
Miss Cheever hesitated q moment
before her reply, then went on as ma
ture, not art had taught her, and from
that moment to the end of the scene
every eye in the audience was fixed
upon her, every ear listening for her
slightest whisper
The understudy played the part of
Juliet through to the end as she con-
cefved it, not rs some one else had con-
cefved 1t or how the lines should be
spoken. On that night new star arose
above the theatrical horizon, and Miss
Cheever never played as an understudy
again. r. A. Mitchell.
