Monroe.
A GOOD STORY.

The story is going the rounds of how
 two of Monroe's promising young men
 drove to an adjoining town, one re-
 cent Wednesday evening for the pur-
 pose of canvassing for nursery stock.
 Arrived at their destination evidently
 they forgot(?) to take their canvass
 ing outfit from the buggy but not un-
 daunted they spent the evening Iwith some very nice young ladies who just happened to be at home. The horse hearing the 9.30 curfew bell ring and being of sensible turn of mind, de- cided There's no place like home," and leaving the bridle attached to the post as legal notice of his intentions started for the Monroe line. Had it not been for the fortunate passing of ore of our local automobilists and some friends at this time, who quickly over- took and captured the fugitive, our friends might have had long and weary walk home, which after such strenuous entertainment would have been exceptionally severe. The driver of the outfit being duly notified of the flight and capture of his steed, rushed from the house uttering the consoIing phrase, "I'll be back" and then much 0 the amazement and 'chagrin of our equine friend he was driven back to lis former station, where he was obliged to regale himself on post-meat md fresh air until midnight hour, no loubt. The canvassing outfit was un- injured in the fray. Now, young men, ake heed; you know not what hour he horse may leave you, so use an au- omobile or a bicycle, and don't stay ate.

ATTRACTIVE MAUWEHoo LAKE.

ATTRACTIVE MAUWEH00 LAKE.
 The editor enjoyed visit to Mau-
 wehoo lake, on Friday, as the guest of George w. Durgy. It is certainly a very pretty and attractive body of wa ter. The lake measures around it just a mile and 600 feet and Is about half mile long. Some seven or eight boats have already been placed on the lake, and on Saturday afternoon or evening
 the lake presents lively and inviting appearance. It is planned in the near future to have board walk along the north side of the lake which would be ideal. The Mauwehoo summer colony includes delightful group of people
 including Rev Warren Wilson and fam fly, w. B. Tiebout and family, Dr Sid ney Smith and family, MT Godfrey and family, ]. r. Bidstrup and family, MT Munch and family, Mir Mallinson and family, W. H. Crittendon and family and others. They are all from Brooklyn and New York and the colony is likely to be increased by the arrival of other families in the next few years. MT Durgy has many attractive building sites on his farm, near the lake, which will be taken up very soon, The Bee predicts. Mir Smith was entertained at luncheon by MT and Mrs Durgy, and was given ride around the lake in one of the boats.

Test of the Drama.
From the Forum

rom the Forum
When Hamlet warned the strolline
players against making the iudicioLs
grieve. and when he lamented that a GER
tain play had proved Caviare to the gen
eral. he fixed for the dramatic critic the
lower and the upper bound for catholiciiy
of appreciation. But between these outer
boundaries lie many different precincts
of appeal. The Two Orphans Of Den
merry and The Misanthropc' OF Molere
aim to interest two different types Of aU-
dience. To say that The Two Orphans
is a bad play because its appeal is not so
intellectual a that OF The Misanthrope
would be no less a soiecism than To say
that The Misanthrope" is a bad play
because its appeal is not so emotional as
that OF The TWO Orphans. The truth
is that both stand within the boundaries
of appreciation. The one makes print
tive appeal to the emotions. without,
however. grieving the judicious; and the
other makes Il refined appeal To the intel
ligence. without. however, subtly hcwilder-
ing the mind of the general spectator.
Since success is to n play the breath OF
life. il is necessary that the dramatist
should please his public. but in admitting
this. we must remember that in city So
vast and varied as New York there are
many different publics. which are willing
to be pleased in many different ways

HAS THE CHRISTMAS AIR
HOLIDAY SPIRIT EVERYWHERE
AT THE PALAIS ROYAL.
Everything Suitable for Gifts and
More Found at the Big De-
partment Store.

Just now the Palais Royal has a habit
Of calling itself The Christmas Store.
and perhaps that tells the story better
than anything else could. For when any
one walks into its great front door at
the corner of 18th and G. streets north
west in Washington. there is instantly
brought to mind that delightful. indie
scribabe atmosphere of Christmas.
Whether Ii is in the very happy look of
the clerks or the tasteful arrangement of
the wares is hard to say-but it is there.
And that is what the shoppers out of
town are looking for just at this time.
They want Christmas presents and they
would resent not finding the Christmas
spirit that American stores especially
Washington stores have taken to them
selves during the last generation. The
firm will tell you that the Palais Royal is
pre-eminently the Christmas store"
They will prove 1t TO you by showing that
buy goods cheaply, and yet they have a
system whereby any one can pay small
deposit on anything in the store and re-
serve it for future purchase.
1t is a department store. and every one
knows what that means No need of tell
ing the things they sell, for large book
would not hold 1t all. From a pin TO d
dress fit for a presentation at the Court
of ST. James. any shopper can get just
what she is looking for. And she" be it
understood. does most of the shopping,
although the men can find things mascu-
line there, too.
1t is good thing for the out-oftown
people to catch an early train to Wash
ington and thereby catch the worm, for
the stores will probably be mighty crowd
ed afternoons from now on. Out-of-town
people seem to have an advantage in that
respect too, for they give over a whole
day or a week to shopping. while the city
folks do their housekeeping in the morn
ings and take the afternoons for shop
ping. That means that afternoons are
crowded and busy times in, the Palais
Royal.
They have a very pretty little depart
ment on the first floor Of the Palais Royal
called the Tiffany Room.
Any one who has been fortunate enough
to visit that great store of Tiffany'S, on
9TH avenue. New York, will at once see
the connection. as the Palais Royal sill
verware is just the kind people want. 1t
