The bell rang on July S, 1715, when the
first celebrati0 Of independence Day was
held. On that day the great document
was first publicly read by John Nixon, of
the Counsel Of Safety Of Pennsylvania,
the reader standing in the observatory in
the Statehouse yard. On July the docu-
ment was read 10 Washington's army in
New York by an aid, and enthusiastic
citizens overthrow the statue Of George
III and ordered the lead made into bui-
lets to fight the British. On July Il it was
read in Boston; on July p. in Williams
burg. Va, on August .. in Charleston.
and August 10. in Savannah. The pro-
gramme Of the first celebration consisted
OF reading the great paper. building bon
fires. and ringing bells. In 1776 the popu-
lation Of the embryo republic was ap-
proximately 2O0CCO
On July Q Congress ordered that a copy
Of the Declaration Of Independence be en-
crossed and presented 20 every member
of the Congress for signature. This was
done, and on August >. 1916, the signatures
as they are known to all patriotic Ameri-
cans were affixed Congress then had
ffty-four members some Of whom had
not been present at the time of the adop-
tion Of the paper, but whose sentiments
were found sound. and whose signatures
were ordered placed with the rest. John
Hancock wrote his name larger than
usual. so John Bull can read it without
his spectacles,' he explained. There go
many millions, some one said when
Charles Carroll wrote his name. for he
was then the richest man in America.

that there were many Charles CAROLS.

Commencing next Monday evening. July
S. the Columbia Theater Company. in
cluding both Miss Hilda Spong and Miss
Charlotte Walker. Will revive Pinero's
whimsical and fantastic comedy. "The
Amazons," which was originally brought
out in this country under the auspices
Of Daniel Frohman little more than
ten years ago. In this comedy the in
terest centers around the three charming
daughters Of the Marchioness of Castle
Jordan, who is disappointed because they
are not boys, and therefore proceeds to
bring them up "mannishly," just as if
they were boys instead of girls She at
tires them in bloomers, puts them through
gymnastic stunts, and encourages them
to seek the open afr. Everything goes
well under this innovation until the trio
of pretty girls met as many young men.
with whom they fan in love. This
knocks their mothers plan sky-high and
creates many humorous complications
Miss Spong and Miss Walker will be seen
as the two principal daughters of the
MaTchiOness of CastlejOrdan. These roles
were created in the original London cast
by Miss Lily Hanbury and Miss Ellallne
Terriss, and in this country by Georgia
Cayvan and Isabel Irving. The ANA
IONS" is undoubtedly one of Pinero's
cleverest comedies. Although originally
presented several months earlier than
The Second Mrs. TanQueTay' he may be
said to have written this merry and fan
tastic little comedy by way of relaxation
after the more serious mental effort In
volved IN the composition Of the famous
drama which told the tragic story Of
Paula. The Amazons" may thus be re-
gaTded as an evidence Of Pinero's versa
tility. In 1t he attempts no criticism of
life, he sought TO solve no problem of
morality, sociology, or psychology; he
only permitted himself 10 daily with the
''mannish woman" idea in the lightest,
gcntlest spirit Of satire, and in a most
whimsical mood Of romance. In the
Tangle of Overcote Park, where the COM
edy opens we seem to hear the distant
laughing echoes Of Acadia and recognize
the descendants of Rosalind and Orlando.
The comedy ran Ill nights when origi-
nally produced at the London Court
Theater.

New York.-Live abroad if you want
to, but you must promise never TO
marry a foreigner"
That was the promise the motner OF
Miss Sibyl Kaye made her give. and
Miss Kaye gave it. She has married
an American, Arthur T. Kemp,
young New York millionaire and soc1-
Aety favorite. But in the track of young
Mrs. Kemp's honeymoon tour in Eu-
rope is a long line of broken hearts
the hearts of earls, dukes, lords and
barons.
And that was just what Mrs Angus
tus Post, the mother-she has married
again since the death of Mr. Kaye
was thinking of when she exacted the
promise.
Have nothing to do with any of
these foreign noblemen," was her last
behest to her daughter as she left for
Europe six years ago. Meet them if
you want to, and study them if you
feel so disposed, but don't, don't fall in
love, / beg of you. Marry an Ameri-
can, as your mother did, and be
happy!"
MISS Kaye is well-to-do in her own
right and Mr.. Post, her step-father, is
a man of means and a broker on
Change. But beautiful as she is, New
York society has never known Miss
Kaye, although the 400 knows young
Mr.. Kemp well. He inherited $4,000,
900 from his father, who was a mem
Der of the big firm of chemists, Lam

Coming Home in June.
The young pair intend to return in
June. You may be sure that Newport
and New York are anxious indeed to
see the bride who now takes her place
in the innermost circle, just as the
first Mrs. Kemp did-she was divorced
from Mr.. Kemp four years ago and is
now Mrs. Hollis H. Hunnewell. Mr.

travelled extensively. And from the
first the foreigners were smitten and
more than one heart was laid at her
feet
The Wooing of the Count.
The most ardent of them followed
Miss Kaye and her chum, Miss Mil
dred Harrison, of Philadelphia, across
this continent and all the way to Eu-
rope, but in vain. He was Count Carl
Hohnstein, whose mother was lady-in-
waiting to the wife of the prince re-
gent of Bavaria.
Miss Kaye met him in the west,
where she was travelling with Miss
Harrison, just before leaving for Paris.
Count Holstein appeared at every city
and always at the same hotel where
Miss Kaye was stopping. The count S
mother was with him; the transconti-
mental chase of the nobleman after
the American girls was chronicled in
the newspapers at the time.
But when 1t was over Miss Kaye
was heart whole and fancy-free. She
finally eluded the count and his moth
er at Colorado Springs. She hired a
special car and before the count or
his mother was aware of it the Amer
lean girls and their chaperon were
in New York
The next steamer took them to Eu-
rope, where Miss Kaye has been ever
since. There she travelled every
where-to the British isles, all over
the continent, even to Egypt, up the
Nile and into the Holy Land.
With her beauty and her wealth she
found it easy to be presented at the
courts of Europe. Her social sue
cess everywhere was most pro-
nounced. Even it was whispered that
the heir to one of the minor thrones
had offered to give up his prospective
kingship for the American girls
hand.
But Miss Kaye remembered her
promise to her mother.
None But an American.
'I can marry only an American, :"
she told them all, whether she liked
them or not
Then Arthur Kemp appeared on the
scene.
He had gone to Paris three years
ago to seek relaxation from all his
domestic troubles. He told his friends
he would never tempt matrimony
again; that he intended to remain a
bachelor for the rest of his days.
All of his resolutions were changed in
the twinkling of an eye.
At a reception at the American en-
bassy in Paris Arthur Kemp met
Miss Kaye. He was smitten from

A cottage house 35 by 81 feet Is
given in this plan. This length is
SUFFICIENT to provide for good large
rooms and to arrange them very
nicely.
The location of bathroom in a
cottage has always given architects
a great deal of trouble You don't
want bathroom near the parlor nor
the dining-room, and it is not always
convenient to have it open off the
kitchen. Some architects solve the
problem by leaving out the bathroom
altogether, but most persons need a
bath occasionally, at least civilization
has worked at the problem a hundred
years or SO, and has finally decided
that it is better to take a bath once
In awhile whether you need it or not
A good many jokes have been sprung
to illustrate the point, and they may
have had some influence. 1t any rate
we seldom see good house nowadays
without bathroom, and we never
find person who is willing to do
without one after having once en-
joyed the luxury. The bathroom in this
house opens off from the kitchen, but
there is also a door entering from the
back bedroom, so that there are as
many advantages with as few disad-
vantages as possible in a cottage
house.
This plan is designed for a comfort
able home for a small family 1t may
be built in town or on farm, and
be thoroughly satisfactory for either

of the right kind. A supply on hand
is not only cheaper but it is much
better and more satisfactory in every
way. 1t points to thrift almost as
sure as a savings bank account.
There is considerable room in the
roof of this house which may be fin
ished on if necessary. There is a
good stairway leading up to it, and
it may be used partly for sleeping ptr-
poses and partly as an attic. or it may
be finished up in good style for sleep
ing rooms with an extra bathroom
over the bathroom below.
A great many new houses have two
bathrooms, and it is noticeable that
such houses are never vacant If the
owner lives elsewhere some one is
always ready and willing to pay
good rent for such a house Build
ers in cities are recognizing the fact
that two bathrooms make profitable
attraction to renting property The
men who make money are the ones
who are quick to recognize the trend
of public opinion.
