A thoroughly delightful dramatic
novelty is being offered at the Garrick
theater this week in the Road to
Yesterday" It's first audiences went to
the theater with the vaguest notions
of what would be really revealed in
this curiously named play, concerning
which It had been so mysteriously an
nounced that 1t dealt with the spirit
Of fantasy with the idea Of reincarna-
ton OF souls. What they have seen is
a refreshing, whimsical comedy, half of

falls into a sleep-liNe trance in which
she is waited back to the England of
Elizabeth and Shakespeare. The odd
part of it all is that she not only seems
to be herself living a real life among
the picturesque figures Of that time,
but she sees all her modern London
relatives and friends moving around
her in the strange guise of that by
gone age. The metamorphoses, or
changes of conditions are strikingly

the fourth and last act the dreaming
heroine and all her mystically REIN

yesterday to today again. New be-
wilderments attend the change back
to modern scenes and personalities
once more, and two love romances-
one serious and poetic, and the other
happy and light-hearted-are brought
to a pleasant climax in curiously in

ANY frosty morning
When the grass Is white
You can track Brer Rabbit
BY his paddles light.
How he goes a-bobbin'
Down the country lane
With his bunch of cotton
Showing just as plain!
Silly little rabbit,
Scudding through the frost,
Signaling to dog and gun
That his game is lost!
Never knows he does 1t,
Not a little bit;
There's where Brer Rabbit
Gets the worst of 1t.

Bless their little hearts-and forgive
their funny brains-those lasses who
imagine they resemble some of the
great dead and gone! Once upon a
time there was a girl who had been
told that her pallid white skin, black
hair. straight eyebrows and general
cast Of features resembled Napoleon.
The idea possessed her TO the degree
that she forthwith modelled her ward
robe to be that of a feminine little
corporal. 1t was tremendously becom-
ing and made her a great social sue
cess. The Napoleon girl must have a
long coat modelled on the lines of the
top coat worn by the defeated general
on the Isle of St Helena. The pattern

in wild 1uXuriance. After the middle

and thencefOrth they all blOOmed con-

The Dahlias did not receive any care
in the way of hoeing. and certainly
not in the way of watering. They
were not troubled by insects of any
kind. The cut-wOrms, for some un-
known reason, gave them a wide berth
