Two Actresses in Same Role

The talented young star Miss Mar
garet Ralph, has shown most marked
dramatic temperament and it is pre-
dicted by those who have watched her
steady progress that she will hold first
rank among American actresses, for
besides her youth and beauty she
possesses a voice of remarkable res
onance and range capable of express
ing every variety of feeling. AS the
tole of Katherine in ''The Tanning
of the Shrew" demands forceful
powerful expression she has found it
especially suited TO her and carries the
great scenes of defiance and rage In a
capital style. Indeed she is perfect
realization of the part as Shakespeare
drew it. Miss Ralph is a close student
and her work in this part has not been
accomplished without months of
preparation. She plays Katherine in
the same hearty manner as Ada Rehan
with the advantage Of youth and
beauty, consequently the fascinating
qualities of the famous role are
brought brilliantly to light in the
hands Of such an artist.

February

February is evidently an economizer
of time, for while it is the shortest
month Of the year yet it is the only
one of the twelve that can boast of
two widely known holidays.
On one of these the banks close pa
triotically and all good American peo-
pie are expected to remember the
father Of their country and all the
truth. On the other, which we cele-
brate on the 14th, hearts are open and
Dan Cupid wields the arrow and the
bow and uells delicious lies.
1t is pretty custom of the maga-
zine editor this giving to the public
the special cover designs for the differ
ent months of tie year There is
quite an interesting recreation, for
those who make it study, in watch
ing the monthly appearance at the
book stores Of the various periodicals
with their clever cover delineations
for each particular diversion of the
year. OF all the seasons, thus por-
trayed, February seems a general fa-
vorite, when all the popular publica-
tions of the day vie with each other
as to which can appear in the most ar
tiStic dress and at the same time be
most originally significant by repeat
ing in fresh originality suggestions Of
the good old saint who lived so many
centuries ago, or Of the American idol
Of a more modern day.
The sending of valentine now-a-
days has fallen into disuse, somewhat,
yet the old time game Of "Hearts" is
still being played upon this ancient
holiday made venerable by generations
of lovers that have come and gone.
Sometimes the quiet little game of
love is repeated, in earnest, more often
in jest and sometimes in memory.
For this is a season when even the
disappointed and pessimistic may find
pathetic pleasure in reUrOSpectlOn anu
the loosening of old lavender ribbons
from tile Valentines of the past with
their dear forbidden memories. st.
Valentines Day is happy land mark
on the pathway from winter to spring
coming as it does midway between
Christmas and Easter and giving us
the first hint Of the approach of the
vernal season.
Bright February days have strong
er atmosphere of hope about them
than any other days of the year, for
when was there ever a winter so
gloomy that could darken the antIci-
patton of spring? That period which
banishes the winter of reality and in
a measure the winter of discomfort,
while she repeats the old and bearti-
full story of Nature and again fultills
for us the eternal promise that the
thousand beauties of the violet and
the rose lie hidden in the frozen
bosom of the snow.

4 FEDERAL BUILDING IN BARRE.

While the fact that Barre is included
in the public building bill now before
Congress does not preclude for Ger
tainty the chance to lose, yet it seems
entirely reasonable to expect that the
appropriation will go through, and that
a postofice building will be erected in
Barre soon This bill has been UNDER
going severe pruning during several
weeks, and the committee has cut down
the appropriations to considerable ex-
tent. But what the committee on pub
lie buildings finally recommends is quite
likely to 90 through, unless the nation.
al body should take to itself an un-
expectedIy parsimonious streak and
throw out the greater part Of the fed
eral building items. So we with the
other cities that actually need postoifice
structures may confidently look for a
favorable action. The amount OF the
appropriation, 100000, for Barre is in
about the same proportion to population
as 100000 is to North Adams, Mass.
and $4,000 is to Auburn, Me-, in both
