of its ugliest hues and something of its most beautiful. It is contradiction, an anomaly. an apparent impossibility, but it is the truth.-Charles Dickens.
 This new arrangement of Oliver Twist" is the identical production in which Beerbohm Tree has won decided success in London. It is admirably repeated at the Proctor playhouse, the Interpreting company meeting ade- quately the demands imposed upon 1t and the settings conforming to metro politan standards.
 Realism is the dominant note of the entire play as shown at Proctor's. Nothing that will contribute to dramat- ic effect is overlooked, and the roles of Nancy sIkes and Fagin, played by Amelia Bingham and l. E. Dodson. re- spectively. stand out as masterpieces of dramatic expression.
 The play is shown in four acts, con- prising eleven scenes or tableaux. Fa- gins den is set with commendable at tention to detail as also Is Bill sikes' room. Lawrence Marston staged the production.
 Mfr. Dodson's Fagin is one of the best characteristic sketches seen fin New York this season He makes this loathsome. half human reptile. devoid even of semblance of decency. so re- alistic. so potential as to cause even the veteran theater goer a momentary shudder as the machinations Of the aged thief are revealed Mfr. Dodson's makeup is notably effective.
 Miss Bingham as Nancy embodies the familiar conception of the role and fn many passages succeeds in illumi- mating 1t decidedly. She is admirable in instances where she represses strong emotion. reminding one of Mrs. Fiske and Duse

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 it's 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 guest un- der their roof shall bestow 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 gho was born and had lived abroad most of his life, was often visitor in the home of 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 moments embarrassment.
 Host and hostess should plan to give guests a good deal of freedom in the weeks-end visit II 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 chil- dren in the family keep them some what in the background American children are apt to exact quite toe much from those who visit their par ents.
 Precocious children are dreaded bI bachelors and young people who art absorbed in their own matters and re- gard kids" as rather superfuous wher garden parties and picnics are on foot and yet some people suffer their chil dren to tag along on every occasion whether they are in the way or not The children will have their inning' later; while they are little let then have the sweet security and retiremen that befts childhood.
 A weeks-end visit is very brief Make it ideal if you can.

THE TROPICAL SON"

Much has been said in landation of Hall Gaines new play. 'The Prodigal Son" which is to be seen at Polls Sat urday evening. and there Is no danger of disappointment. Liebler & Co have put this play upon the stage as very few dramas are presented even in this day of lavish productions. Edward Morgan has scored another remarka' ble success in the role of Magnus. the stolid elder brother of the Prodigal, whose suppressed passion breaks out with terrible vehemence at times. Ed ward Mackay, as the Prodigal him. self. has won for himself high place in the esteem of every student of dra- matie art who has seen him.
