of the curtain, when the large chorus
composed of about fifty voices, dis
closed the Elks singing the Minstrel
Overture, which was arranged for the
occasion by Prof. Gus Frederick, until
the curtain was rung down on the
last act of the Olio, everything went
along fine, and every act drew forth
merited applause.
Bert Williams, Hughie Cannon, Ar

cork artists would last about as long
in contest with the Richmond Elks
as it takes to make the Eggemeyer
brothers laugh.
Eggemeyer and Coo.
The stately gentleman who acts as
interlocutor in the professional ag-
gregation could get much of value
from the way Pleasant Unthank di-
rected his court of testers, and vaude-
vile artists would double their money
If they could fix up such a team as
dealt with Municipal problems after
the manner of Elmer Eggemeyer and
Demas Coe. There was nothing left
out, except the dull minutes which
often mar theatrical performances.

CUT GLASS.
The Way to Make It Show to tn. ,..>
 Advantage.

Cut glass should never be nlacod among light colored surroundines nar- ticularly cream or yellow. The crvst,1 gathers all yellow light to itself, so that the erect Is lacking in the sparkle and prllliancy that should be the principal charm of cut glass. There is also a noticeable lack of iridescence. One orten sees a whole cabinet probably nght oak, full of a small fortune in glass, backed ly mirror. The result Is mere iur1ble of crystal with no meaning Whatever, except perhaps to thrust at the observer an immense money value. The truly artistic eve Is not impressed at all.
 The Ideal setting for cut glass is plain mahogany. It has a richness of color and duilness of tone that are admira- ply suited to bring out all the best in tEe glass. Moreover. there should be no hlffofs, for that only adds con- fusion. Then pieces should have plenty of room. No hant,somer effect could be obtained than a bowl or dish standing on d mahogany shelf or cabinet with no other piece within at least twelve inches of il. If the housewife hasn't enough room for all this or has too many pieces to be eytravagant with space let her ptt some away and change from tine to time. It is better than having a e9ngestod mass where each piece robs the other of it's fine effect
 The next best to mahogany is dark oak. bog and Flemish, or velvet or black or dark green OF deep maroon Furthermore. cut "sass should be kept immaculate Scrpthings with warm water alla soap and thorough rinsings ill cold water should occur very often.
