during his long stage career he had never
been associated with any one showing
undue familiarity with him, save one IN
dividual, man named Bagley, who some
years ago was property man in the COM
edian's company.
This Bagley annoyed Mr.. Jefferson very
much by his somewhat offensive man
ners, but, owing to the valuable services
rendered by him, Mr.. Jefferson has al
WAYS been 10th to take measures more Sc
we're than a reprimand. But finally inc
familiarity of the property man increased
to an extent impossible to endure, SO ne
was summarily discharged. This dismiss
sal occurred just before the opening OF
Mr.. Jefferson's engagement one year In
Baltimore.
That night Bagley got exceedingly
drunk. Paying his way into the theatre,
he repaired to the gallery, there to see his
old employer enact Rip Van Wrinkle"
The angry Gretchen had just driven

SONS is effective, and for the pink and
mauve colors more delicate receptacles
are needed A low basket lined with
moss and filed with damp sand makes
an excellent setting for these blossoms.
Where fruits are used instead of flow
ers there are willow or wicker baskets,
handsomely toned. A beautiful color com

with Niagara or Malaga grapes. DARK
red and pale yellow receptacle filled with
all varieties of polished fruits to be had

tractive by surrounding 1t with spears OF
grain and the smallest variety of chry-
santhemums. The mountain ash berry
makes an exquisite and simple center
decoration when used in combination with
pale green colored grapes.
If the housewife owns a set of crystal
candlesticks, she can use them to excel
lent advantage by placing candles and
shades to match or harmonic with her
centerpiece, and an added touch OF
beauty can be attained by fastening at
each corner of the table blossom and Its
foliage. OF course the best table linen,
china, glass and silverware are brought
forth to grace the festive board. set
of plates should be put right side up at
each place to receive those that are
heated and filled with hot food. This will
prevent any adhesion to the polished

should remain until the frozen dessert
or the nuts and fruit are passed.
