All who have been students at Vassar college, all who have been visitors at this promiennt seat of learning, all who have hopes Of going to this or any other college at some future time, and all fond mothers who have daughters at any college, will be greatly interested in the new musical college play, Cupid at Vassar," in which Florence Gear is appearing this season and which is announced by it's producer, Man ager Jules Murry, to be brought to Polls Friday and Saturday and Sat urday matinee Young women who have spent their collegiate days at this college will recognize their fa- vorite haunts in the scenes given of the grounds and in the rooms of the inmates of the institution, and those who have the promised hope of some day arriving to the dignity of being enrolled with the undergraduates, will do well to study the scenes of the play, as they will give them as clear and accurate a view of their future college home as they could have by visiting the grounds them selves. And then the life of the place is enacted so vividly before the auditors, and the little bits of at mosphere here and there found throughout the play will be most in teresting to the girl who has inten- tions of making this her college home.

THE RED MILL.n

The company that presented the musical play, "The Red Mill" at Polls last evening, was not equal to the occasion. Perhaps that can be accounted for from the fact that they were new in the business and were simply holding rehearsal. There is a chance and big chance for a clever company to make this musical medley a success. It has already been proven a success under Mont gomery & Ston's leadership. It was raw in spots last evening and sa- vored too much of the amateur. The music is beautiful and the songs catchy and bright, but they were sadly treated by about all the solo ists last evening. Coakley and Mc- Bride, the old vaudeville team, es- sayed the part of Montgomery and Stone and they did very well at that. With a little more knowledge of the parts assigned them they ought to fill the bill acceptably. The chorus was weak, unusually so for such a production, and some of the singers seemed to be laboring under difficult ties. The stage settings and appur- tenances were excellent and the play was costumed well, but it needs a whole lot of attention to make it a running success.

Work has been mans lot since the creation, but a day of toll should not have It's penalty of pain. Why is 1t, then, you ask. that backache so often follows? It Is because the modern tendency is to overwork. to tear flown faster than nature can rebuild An unnatural strain is thrown upon the vital organs, and more especially upon the kidneys. which have the work of Altering the blood free of waste and poison.
 The heavy tax of overvork-the strain upon the back that is so com mon to many trades and occupations, fs too great. The kidneys begin to fan in their work. and there is a double danger to health. The poison- ous matter collects in the system. and the Kidneys themselves begin to break down
 Pain in the back is only a warning of trouble in the kidneys- An infam- nation has set ia, and a disordered condition of the urine soon becomes apparent.

In the invitations, which had quaint lit tie pen and ink sketches on them of Mother Goose" in peaked hat and broom, evidently quite ready to sweep the cobwcbs down from the sky" the guests were requested to wear something to indicate a charac- ter in the dear old book of nursery rhymes.
 The table centerpiece was an enor- nous "pie" with a ribbon radiating to each plate, where 1t was attached to a funny little white lambkin. On the place cards most realistic spiders Of Japanese manufacture were fastened by drop of glue.
 Each guest was called upon to re- cite the rhyme she represented when she was correctly guessed. This was the occasion of much merriment. When the dessert course was brought in, the hostess asked all to pull their ribbons, and out of the pie came all sorts of birds. They were found at the favor counter and elicited much favorable comment. There is no tell ing what can be found until you begin to look,. said the interchangeable host ess, who was ever on the alert for something new.
