Matinee And Evening Performances

Great interest has been aroused over
the coming production Of the play
Carmen, which will be given by a
number of young people from the Ma
val Academy and the town. in the Co
lonial Theatre just before Lent.
This play has never heretofore been
produced by amateurs, the size of the
east and the amount of stagecraft
necessary in production of the kind.
barring il from the list Of plays usual
ly undertaken by amateurs. Mrs. Red
grave, wife OF Commander Redgrave.
U. $. N, who is staging the play.
assisted by Mr.. J.. Boyd Dexter, has,
however, had considerable experience
in coaching, in addition to her tech
nical training while a member OF
Charles Frohinan's forces in New
York. Mrs. Redgrave has also the advan
tage of having played in GARNER"
in Miss Nethorsole's company. From
what we hear of the deep interest and
earnest efforts of those taking part in
the play, even TO the extras who
have no small part in the making or
the marring of play, there will re-
suit performance we'll worth seeing.
The scene Of the play, like the opera
is laid in Seville, about the period
1880, and the Spanish costumes OF
the soldiers, cigarette girls and gyp-
sizes, viii make picturesque setting.
There will be two Spanish dances.
Mrs. w. O. Stevens and Mrs. II. w.
Morrison, who is from Seville, will
dance the Sevillanas in the second
act. The "Bolerov will be danced
by the following young ladies': Miss

Bright Green on White Chip Sailors
The Green Linen Suit in
High Favor. =,

A white chip sailor hat with a wide
folded band and bow at the side of
green silk ribbon is the very smart
thing to wear with all suits and
gowns that allow it, declares Anne
Rittenhouse. Such a hat with a
white wash frock, green suede belt
with broad, square buckle and green
sunshade, makes a most fashionable
combination.
In truth, green-this vivid shade of
it-seems to have taken the place that
violet had last year. For instance,
the very stylish linen suits are now
green. The shade used for them is
not so pronounced as that worn in
the ties and hats. 1t is more faded
and there is no use denying that it
becomes more so each week that it
is worn.
There has new been found a green
dye that will stand the sun; not even
the one of nature. However, as all
colors fade under u hot suns. why

81 MANI l.. 49,
Copyright, 1905, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
When, a few years ago, the son OF
Robert and Elizabeth Browning was
induced tt publish the love letters OF
his father and mother, written to one
another in the confidence and unre-
serve of their mutual affection, every
body shivered as if a blow had been
struck at the most sacred and tender
thing in life.
The first shock ever, everybody who
had found inspiration and joy in the
poems of the marvelously gifted pair,
proceeded to read the letters. Ihey
were found to be not very unlike the
love letters of other people, with no
pretentions to genius and no ability to
pour themselves ont in splendid verse.
Neither Mr.. O MIS-. Browning before
their marriage or after seemed to nave
descended to banality or gush. Their
letters were honest and affectionate
and sensible, and were often rather
commonplace, merely the everyday let
tiers of a cultivated nan and an intel
ligent woman who understood n an
other and were necessary to one an
others happiness.
Love letters that overflow in the Ian
guage of passionate devotion, that con-
tain too great an amount of protesta-
ton or that intrench on delicacy and
modesty are not the expressions OF
true love. There can be no real love
where there is not the highest esteem
and the most chivalrous regard.
Take, for example, the letters ex-
changed by husband and wife when
they are temporarily separated. of
course, they write to each other every
day. When postage is cheap and COM
munication swift and sure, there is no
reason why members of the same fam
lily should not exchange letters fire.
~uuently and constantly when they are
separated by business OF pleasure, but
although the married lovers are essen
tial to each other, although they have,
so 10 speak, the same heartbeat, they
do not fill whole sheets with declara-
lions of admiration.
All that is in the past. Mary writes
about the children, about JOhnny's
whooping cough and Fanny's school
report, and the new paper on the walls,
and the little things that make up the
daily sun of daily life. These are far
more welcome and far more interesting
to the absent husband than the finest
essay ON Life and Friendship could
possibly be. Should Mary send the
man a composition such as she read
on commencement day, ten years ago,
he would fancy her out of her wits. On
his part, Jack writes of the road, of
the people ht has met, of the success

children carried flowers, the maids
and matrons chanted hymns, the
priests swung to and fro the censor,

the procession, representing the
strength and beauty of Athens, came
to the votive altar of the Goddess
Athenae, they covered the white
marble with flowers.
Not otherwise did Daniel Webster,
with reverence and ever-increasing
solemnity, anticipate the approach of
the Fourth of July. To the very last
the thought of Independence day suf-

Once more our people have come to
the day that celebrates patriotism and
the love of liberty. For thoughtful
men who are familiar with the rise OF
liberty, the Fourth of July is still the
golden day in the calendar of free in
situations. This high day of the re-
public holds many associations with
the two Adamses, with Hamilton and
Jefferson, with Madison and Wash
ington, and the holiday is become an
urn that overfiows with sacred and
perfumed treasure. During the first
so years of the republic the Fourth of
July was the one outstanding day, for
Thanksgiving had not yet been made
universal, while Decoration day and
Labor day, and the birthday OF Lin
coin, had not yet been born.
In Athens, on the high day of the
city, the citizens arrayed themselves
in white robes, wore girdles Of blue,
standing for civic purity. and went
forth in solemn procession, cleansed

water for an hour, strain and serve
with the beaten white of an egg and
a spoonful of fruit juice OF flavoring.
This affords a great deal Of nourish-

Fourth of July briggs to my mind
more vivid re~collectiOns than any
other day. 1 particularly remember
day of several members of our family,
and my son was born on that day.
My earliest recollections of the
Fourth, however, center about my
boyhood. which was spent in or near
st. Louis. We were in the country,
and | had watched wiser heads than
mine set off some powder from a hole
in a log, and so concluded to initiate
the spectacle and sound at the very
first opportunity. After tedious and
hard work the hole was made and the
powder set off with fine effect and
plenty of noise-but the second at
tempt was disastrous. A tiny spark
exploded the powder that l was emp
tying into the hole, and my face and
hands were pitiful evidence of the
celebration for many months.
My greatest celebration of indie

had gone with father, who ON the aft

with Gen. Pemberton within a few
hundred feet of the confederate lines,
and l was deeply impressed with the
solemnity Of it all. But the spectacle
of the surrender on the following day
was a scene that cannot be adequately
described.
During the siege there had been a
good deal of friendly sparring be-
tween the soldiers of the two armies
on picket and where the lines were
close together. All confederates were
dubbed "Johnnies;" all Union troops
called "Yanks." Often Johnny" would
call: We'll, Yank, when are you COM

The Lascar crew came to her side and

But Bill went at them with a club: Back

his hair and whiskers gone
And grinned: ut was some hot up here.
D'you think you can hold on?"
And Bill yelled back: IF Germany can

I guess that Ireland down here will stay

Just then a back draft puffed a fame and

And when the thing had cleared away he
