The thestr!oal season which has Just
come 10 an end was richer In benefits FOL
various purposes than any that pre-
ceded IT, Whether the benehoiaries Of
these performances were always enriched
IL another question. In some cases they
received amounts 90 small a. TO be out Of
all proportion to the expense involved.
To make an outlay Of from 5000 TO $4,000
In order 20 earn only 5000 OF 500 would
never be considered good business by any
hut benefit committee.
The organizer Of benefits a. . business
proposition has never met with much sue

cities.
The method Of this person, who is usually
feminine, IL 70 writo 10 some institution on
a chance, asking II 1t would not like TO have
q benefit. For q small certainty and a
share Of the profits this benevolent Inn

The financial conditions differ under various
circumstances, but the organizer stands 10

beneficiary.
The entertainments may Be . seTies Of

provides nothing but the training Of tho

That AN was, Of course, difiicult enough
10 New York. Children Of fashionable
families here do not take part in amateur
performances, nor are they allowed TO
mingle promise ously with other children.
But the task Of the patronesses involved
even more than . pplying the children.
They had 10 beg a manager for theateT,

TO act as patronesses and see that the affair
the proper publicity. This Is the real work
OF getting up benefit.
Women work themselves into nervous
prostTation over these details and are often
put into tie disagreeable position Of hav-
ing to ask favors Of women they would
not otherwise have anything TO do with.
Then after they have worked for weeks
their labon might seem worth while II there
we're a substantial sum earned for the
charity. But in nine cases out Of ten there
Ia no profit. Expenses mount up to an
extent that the good ladies Of tho com.
mittee never dream Of beforehand. Then
the tickets do not go as one would expect.

That ia an illustration Of the zeal the boys
show in their work.
While there are no hard and fast rules,
the most painstaking and exact work Is
done. When the boys are singing together

not at once criticize himself. which he Is

When the public visits the park OPP
portunity will be afforded to see the
bayous which nature has prepared for
beautiful winding lagoons which VIII
be constructed in time. La Plant says
that $500 would cover the cost OF pre-
pairing this lagoon so as not to be over
three feet deep in any place, yet afford
ing an ideal boating place for women
and children. 1t could be filled either
by windmill or by pipe running
west twenty rods to the river. La
Plant estimates that s1,500 would not
do the excavating which nature has
already provided for such a lagoon. In
time it is the commissioners intention
to bridge the lagoon with rustic
bridges, construct drives all around
the park and perhaps add more land
on the south if sufficient funds are
available.

that everyone who is at all dissatisfied

what the place looks like. There are
fifty-seven hitching posts already set
for the accommodation of those who
wish to tie their horses.
AS to the objection of excessive cost
Commissioner LaPlant replies that the
trees and the work previously done
in cleaning up the grove make the
place we'll worth the price paid, but
if this were not enough he has sold
enough sand from one corner of the
land for $50 for the season which is
six per cent rent from $35 per acre of
the price paid, and this sand bar fills
every year so that the income will be
permanent.

Mongkut, 4,the. then ruling emperor,
bought Box Of seidlih powders from
a trader missionary, and, misinterpret-

the six blue papered powders into one

proceeded to swallow the resultant de
