Shrew'' has been in Miss Rehan's home
and will be brought to the West Twen-
ty-ninth street galleries, where it will
be placed on exhibition Thursday.
The sale Will be notable one be-
cause of the high intrinsic values of the
different pieces. Nearly every object
used in the several comedies was Sc
lected abroad by Miss Rehan and Mr..
DAILY and no price was too great for
2 piece of furniture or a tapestry that
fitted into a scene. Many OF the chairs,
bronzes and vases are of the Louis
XIV, XIV, and XVI. period, and cannot
be duplicated.
In all, there will be between 400 and
$50 pieces of scenery, still in a good
state of preservation. With these are
the elaborate costumes that have been
so often worn in New York theaters.

Several of the chairs used IN THE
Tanning of the Shrew" are covered with
Beauvaise tapestries, and cost Mr.. Daily
as high as 5000 each
one of the pieces to which VIII be at
tached sentimental value is the bust Of
Miss Rehan, by Hazeltine Mr.. DAILY
paid 81 500 for this, and thought he had
a bargain. Another piece which has seen
much service in and out Of the theater
is a silver punch bowl which served as
an accessory to THE School for Scan
dal." and played a pleasant part in the
I ceremonies following opening nights 1t
Dalv's theater 1t Will be nut up along
with several paintings from the lehan
residence.
One of the interesting collection is a
Francis 1 set which includes the gold
suite bought at the famous Hamilton

KEEPING OF LENT A FARCE.
Rev T. J. Mackay, of Omaha, De-
nounces Modern Careless Meth DDS.

Omaha Neb March Rev. T. ]. Mac
kay. rector of All Saints Episcopal church.
the largest and wealthieSt congregation in
the city, has caused a stir by denouncing
in vigorous terms the modern method of
keeping Lent calling it farce and also
by a caustie attack on the absentee bishop
of the diocese, Right Rev George WORTH
ington.
ITO large extent says Mr.. Mac1ay in
article in his weekly parish paper,
Church and Home, Lent is a farce, made
so by the manner in which it is observed
Lent should be something more than alb
staining from pastry, custards and can
dy The rule should be something to at
tain instead of something to abstain
from.
Bishop Worthington's luxurious life in
tho east is sharply cCnTasted with TIE
pastoral urging self-denial during Lent.
which the aged prelate issued couple OF
weeks ago. Bishop Worthington has spent
nearly all his time in New York and east
ern cities. assigning physical disability
the cause of his long absence from the
dioce Sc and leaving all the work to be
done by Bishop Coadjutor Williams.
Bishop Worthington sends US a Lenten
pastoral at long range from the Hotel
Manhattan, New York. says Mr. Mackay
in which il is pleasant to hear that We
are still remembered by our faithful, self
denying self-sacriicing diocesan It is
also pleasant to note that the Providence
that Separates us from our beloved bishop
is dealing gently with him and that he IS
corning his far distant diocese. We
should be deeply grateful to Cod for the
assurance contained in the opening WORKS
of bishops pastoral.
