Trifling Gifts Sent in a
Spirit of Foolery.

The first of April. of all days in the
year, enjoys character OF it's own. in
as far as it and il alone is .consecrated
to practical joking.
OF the origin Of the custom nothing pos
tive is known. Many explanations have
been given, but the most plausible
ascFibes its birthplace 10 France. France
took the lead in commencing the New
Year on January instead of March %.
Before the change was made the New
Year merrymaking lasted a week and
at the elimination, April !, gifts were
bestowed When the change was made
many sent trifing gifts in a spirit Of
fOoieTy to those who had forgotten the
change
England borrowed the custom from
France. but we find no evidence of il
until the beginning Of the eighteenth
century.
The earliest literary allusion to Il is
by Addison in the Spectator, where he
scornfuIly tells how MY lanGlady had
falling out with a neighbor Of mine
about a fortnight ago for sending every
one Of her children upon some sleeve
less Grand as she terms IL. Her eldest
son went to buy a half penny worth of
inkle at a shoemaker's, the eldest daugh-
ter was dispatched half mile to see
a monster; and In short the whole fam
lily Of innocent children made April
fools. Nay. my landlady herself did not
escape him. This empty fellow has
laughed upon these conCeits ever since p"
In France the fools are known as
"poissons d Avrile-"

"The Road to Yesterday"

One of the greatest American crit icsi was asked the other day to give his opinion on the question whether the stage is supposed to teach or en- certain the audiences. He answered.; My idea is that play must be intel lectual and entertaining. The only question is whether one is entertained by watching a multitude of show girls or listening to the product of wonder full brains?"
 Theatergoers who are entertaiJed by a comedy of fantasy which treats in the most wonderful manner the question of the evolution of the hu- man soul, should not fail to see Beur lah M, Dix and Evelyn G. Sutherland's play "The Road to Yesterday" which will be presented here by Sam s, and Lee Shubert at the Hyperion on We'd nesday, December 4, the original New York company headed by Miss Minnie Dupree.

Wallingford, Dec. 2.-The town hall was crowded this evening for the opening night of the Methodist bazaar. The entertainment which comprised ''The Bachelors Reverie" proved all it has been cracked up to be, and that the large audience was much pleased with the endeavors of the cast was shown by the frequent outbursts of applause. The piece was full of com edy, and the various costumes worn bv the performers made the sketch a mirth-provoker from start to finish. The poor, lone man certainly had his share of matrimonial opportunities. The articles at the different booths sold well, and although a great many things were disposed of there are still some left for tomorrow afternoon and evening. The elephant proved to be a winner among the young as well as the old, and was surrounded by an enthusiastic throng during the entire evening. The cast of characters for "The Bachelors Reverie" was as fol- lows:

"Glcr.ious Betsy"

Fresh from long and successful engagement in the east Mary Manner ing will play a limited engagement at the Hyperion theater Friday and Sat urday, December 6 andsl7, with Satur- day matinee, in Rida Johnson Young's successful American comedy "Glori- ous Betsy" undoubtedly the best play yet from the pen of the noted author of Brown of Harvard" "The Boys of Company B." etc. The production here will be a notable one and will be under the direction of the Shuoerts, This new play has for its central fig ure that radiant belle, Betsy Patter- son, whose beauty and ambition made for her one of the most brilliant ca- reers ever attained by an American woman. From a Baltimore belle, whose wit, pride and Father daring in- dependence made her the admiring comment of all fashionable society in America, she sprang suddenly into in- ternational notice by her marriage with Jerome, the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, just at the time when he WAS plOCldlltCQ CilAPCl VI VI liiI French
 It is at the springs in fashionable Virginia, that Betsy first meets Cap tain Bonaparte, who weary of the end- less round of entertainment and adu- lation he has received as the guest of the American nation, has travelled to this out of the way resort incognito and for whatever romantic adventure might appeal to youth of nineteen, full of high spirits and away from re- straint
 Jerome becomes infatuated with the reigning belle, Betsy Patterson, and manages to have himself employed during her stay there to give her les sons in French, Betsy becomes in- tensely interested in her tutor, but her pride and ambition fights against acknowledging that she could love a man in such an inferior position,
 She coquettes with him, however as she does half dozen others, and and leaves the springs ignorant of Jerome's true personality, deeply off tended with him because of his refus- al to accompany her party to Balti- more where great preparations are being made for the reception of Cap tain Bonaparte. It is here at an elab- crate fete given in his honor that Betsy first discovers that her tutor and the much talked of brother of Napo- Ion are one. Previous to this discov- cry her pride overcome by the ardent wooing of her supposed tutor, Betsy has confessed her love for him. The rest of the play deals with their en- gagement, the efforts to prevent their marriage and the final triumph of the | lovers.

"The Fatal Card" Presented With
 Pronounced Success.

IEOilOuHCeu ouCceSS.
 The New Stock company has scored another success. There were two of them-two fatal cards-and from the time one of them became the property of two men, until the other decided
 that one of those two men should end the life of his benefactor, and even when still later the half of the first one decided the fate of the man in whose. possession 1t was-not once did the interest in the outcome abate
 George Forester's life is saved by young man, Gereld Austin, who later in life and in another country falls in love with the daughter of the man whose life belongs to him. Forester is living under another name, Mar rable, and w.5h his followers is follow ing the life of bond rohber. One of his men, Jim Dixon, in attempting to rob Austin's father, kills him, and the blame is put upon the son because he has been seen In his fathers office, where the parent and son had angry words and in going away hurriedly Gerald leaves his cane, which Is used as evidence against him, and he is about to be arrested for the murder of the old man when Marrahle's daugh- ter begs him to go to the cottage where she has heard her father and Dixon plan a meeting. Here the real mur- derer Is discovered and Marrable, Dixon and two companions draw lots to decide who shall kill Austin who has heard their conversation and de- clares he will give them into the hands of the law. Marrable draws the card that makes him the man to put the would be accuser to death. Just be- fore he is leaving the cottage Austin asks Mariahle to take the locket with his mothers picture to his sweetheart, Marrable's daughter. While looking for the locket In Austin's pocket, Marrable finds the half of the card which at the time Austin saved his life Marrable tore in two and gave him the piece of. i Marrable throws the bomb which is in tended to end Austir's life out of the window and saves his life-but Mar rable himself is killed. There is q pSetty bit of love making here and there, and some good comedy-and this wel-balanced stock company is doing we'll with the piece.
