INTERRUPTED DEATH SCENE
Little Eva" Displayed Her Versa
tility Before Taking Final
Flight.

The introduction of songs and dances
into plays in which they have no legiti
mate pisIe is not new practice by. any
means. 1t dates back to much earlier
days of the drama. And there have been
instances when the interpretations were
OF somewhat startling sort. A number
OF weilknown actors were discussing this
subject when one of the oldest of the
party said: Boys, let me tell YOU that
the tendency is not new one. 1t is
c!cer than most of you, and no exam
pic of 1t that / have seen lately has
been as startling as a case | saw in
southern illinois years ago. We were
out with a one-night-stand piece. and
attel long jump had landed in a small
town very tired and very anxious for ex-
element. The manager told us that
there would be no afternoon rehearsal.

to anyone who has the misfortune to
be deaf and who is therefore likely to
be left out of the conversation and to
miss some of its delicate shades.
About giving tips TO servants there
is wide difference of opinion. There
are employers who are extremely an
noyed at the thought that a guest un-
der their roof shall bestow a fee or
gratuity on the maid or the man who
renders a service. Others are less
sensitive on this point, and have no
objection to allowing their domestics
to accept tip from departing guest.
AS company in the house always
means extra work for the help. they
are not to blame if they prefer those
guests who slip little money into the
hand when they are going away. A
lady may please a maid as well by be-
slowing on her some pretty gift such
as a stock, handkerchief ribbon,
or pair of gloves, as by giving her
money outright. Unless host and
hostess are known to be opposed to the
practice, a guest need not hesitate to
give small sum to those who have
ministered to his or her comfort.
Years ago, a man Who was born and
had lived abroad most of his life, was
often a visitor in the home of a young
girl whom he greatly admired, and
who later became his wife. Following
the European custom, he always set
his boots outside his bedroom door at
night, and he invariably found them
well polished when ne opened his door
in the morning. He had been some
time a married man before he discov-
cred that the maid who had blackened
| his boots was the dainty daughter OF
| the house She used to steal softly to
! the door when all was still and carry
! those boots to the bathroom. where
| she cleaned them herself. The maids
who did the ordinary work would have
disdained this homely task which she
willingly took upon herself for her
lover, rather than give him a moments
embarrassment.
Host and hostess should plan to give
guests a good deal Of freedom in the
week send visit. It is a great bore to
be constantly entertained. The free
dom of the house and grounds, liberty
to drive or row on lake or river. and
some degree of license as to reading
writing letters or taking walks are
greatly appreciated. If there are chill
dren in the family keep them some
what in the background. American
children are apt 20 exact quite toe
much from those WHO visit their par
ents.
Precocious children are dreaded by
bachelors and young people who are
absorbed in their own matters and re-
gard kids as rather superduous when
garden parties and picnics are on foot
and yet some people suffer their chill
dren to tag along On every occasion
whether they are in the way or not
The children will have their innings
later; while they are little let them
have the sweet security and retirement
that BELTS childhood
A week's-end visit is very brief
Make it ideal if You can.

and la grippe combined, and was left
in a very bad condition when they
passed away.
II tried everything for his benefit,
but nothing seemed to do him any
good. Month followed month and he
still remained as weak as ever. I was
almost discouraged about him when
/ got the Grape-Nuts, but the result
has compensated me for my anxiety.
in the one month that he has eaten
Grape-Nuts he has gained 10 pounds
in weight, his strength is rapidly re-
turning to him, and he feels like a
new man. Now we all eat Grape7Nuts
food, and are the better for it. Our
little 5-year-old boy, who used to suffer
from pains in the stomach after eating
the old-fashioned porridge, has no
more trouble since he began to use
Grape-Nuts, and I have no more doc

Of Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast,

The SplNSTER.

She's walking in the garden. with quiet
step and slow
Ann Smith, who lost her lover now 30
years ago.
Between the clean, white palings the vii
lage people view
Her moving midst the tulips all drowsy
with the dew.
The breezes breathe of springtime, of
springtime lifts and rill,
There's springtime in the robins enrap-
tured Vesper trill:
There's springtime in the blossoms she
brushes to and fro;
And in her heart the springtime of 30
years ago.
The lane is lying yonder wrapped deep
in fragrant gloom,
BY bursting hawthorn bordered and
cherry trees In bloom.
The moths athwart it hutter on Grant
ghostly wing,
Adown it's dusky vista the crickets
bravely sing
The crescent moon is shedding a tender
light above
The air is soft and dreamy, and CULVER
ing with love.
The world is full of longing of whispers
vague and low,
As in that other springtine of 80 years
ago.
Twas just in such springtime twas
just on such an eve
That there beneath the poplar he took
his last, fond leave.
And blindly she turned doorward, aware
of only this:
Within her breast his promise, upon her
lips his kiss.
oh, April after April, invokes the twi-
light lane,
And April after April the garden wakes
in vain:
For never will their coverts another
springtime know
Like that dear, sweet old springtime of
80 years ago.
Ann Smith is straight and slender; her
brow is calm and fair;
Her voice is clear and patient and
smooth and thick her hair.
No flakes have touched her tresses, nc
frost her cheeks can dim,
To her tbs always springtime, and she
must wait for him.
And when the cleaning gathers around
the garden gate.
And when each thrush and pigeon has
sought his gentle mate,
The children of the village will lead YOU
past, to show
The maid who los her lover now 30 years
ago.

CHAPTER w.

WHAT WAS FOUND AT MANASSAS.
Dark and dreary the winter of the
first year of the war closed in on the
camps about the capital. Between the
Long Bridge and the heights of Ar
1ington lay sea of mud. Dull red,
the Virginia roads were quilted deep
by the wheels of cannon, ambulance
and army wagon that sank now to the
very hubs in sticky mire, and time
and again stalled the needed supplies
almost within sight of their destina-
ton. In vain the darby drivers dou-
bled their teams and piled lash and
iblasphemy. Hour after hour the or
der would ring through the swarming
streets of the nearest camp: Turn
out, boys-more wagons stuck in the
mud" and by whole companies, regu-
lars or volunteers, the men would
wade knee-deep to the scene, and with
fence rails as levers and drag ropes
over the brawny shoulders, prying,
pushing, hauling and shouting they
would "yank" the heavy rolling stock,
one by one, from the slough of their
despond and tide them over to the next
camp beyond, and so, from slough to
slough. pass them on their final desti-
cation.

Too Many Dogs.

This story of Lincoln, which was re-
lated by the late Senator Harlan at an
old settlers meeting at Mount Pleas
ant, Ia, seems to be new one. Some
politicians had called on President
Lincoln, to urge the appointment of
some of their friends to positions in a
certain department. BY way of refusal
the president told the following story:
Gentlemen, the conditions in that
department puts me in mind of the
time that a young friend and myself
tried to court the two daughters of a
peppery widow living near our homes.
The old lady kept lot of hounds.

dogs in here now!'

sation that will bring the Newporters
back to their summer haunts The
time of Prince Louis visit will be
after the regular Newport season
closes, but arrangements are already
being made to reopen some of the
most fashionable and gay houses on
the island. The royal guest will not
want for entertainment and his staff
of naval officers will be given a sam
pie of genuine American hospitality.
Officials of the navy department
will welcome all social attentions
that can be accorded the British sail
or men. They desire to have returned
to the latter some of the courtesies
that have been showered upon Ameri-
can officers abroad. To avoid an en-
barrassing contretemps, the cere-
monies of reinterring the body of
John Paul Jones have been postponed
from this September % to April "a of
next year. The first date had been
selected as it was the anniversary of
the greatest exploit of the intrepid
Jones when he whipped the Scraps
with the Bon Homme Richard. I'm
fortunately this date would fall about
the time Prince Louis visits this coun-
try and it might have been just a lit
tie embarrassing to him to have that
little affair of the revolution recalled.
The date next April is the anniversary
Of the captures of the British ship
Drake by Commodore Jones and will
answer just as well for the cere-
monies.
