NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Four new
plays and a revival, with it's best fea-
ture revised and elaborated, is the rec
ord of the current week in New York,
and since last week gave a start to
equally as many productions, it can
be seen without further comment that
the theatrical season is getting on
with a swing.
The Sins of Society opened the
regular season at the New York the
alter. and as almost, anything that
deals with the upper social world eX-
cites interest, it was only natural that
this new play should create no end of
comment. The work is in the hands
of Brooks and DingWall and has an
exceptional cast, including Laura Nell

son Mitchell, Louise Closer Hale and
several others, as we'll as 200 extra
people who are employed in the en-

of the season. The play is oliver

Framing Pictures.

The framing and hanging Of pic
lures has become an art They are
an important decoration of a room.
In hanging pictures, a study of sur
roundings is necessary, and care
should be taken as to wall coverings.
Avoid large-patterned papers. The
plain-colored or striped cartridge
papers in rather dark half-tones are
the best backgrounds for pictures.
The walls OF a room should never be
crowded, and as far as possible, all
pictures should be placed on a level
with the eye.
The framing of pictures Is so much
a matter of individual taste that It Is
impossible to give rules that will ap-

When mats are used upon pictures
great care should be taken to insure

length. But she might use II to scare
away the bear.
Seizing the gun with trembling
hands, she ran up the stairway to the
kitchen chamber and crawled through
tiny "cubby-hole" back of the Chin
ney. This communicated with the
wood house loft, from which a sta
tionary ladder led to a large room
below, just off which the bear was
standing.
Peering down from the loft, Bessie
saw Bruinetta rise again on her hind
legs and reach into the pork barrel.
1t was only third full of brine and
pork at that season, and the bear
pried so heavily on one side that 1t
was overturned and sent humping
down the cellar stairs. The noise so
frightened the child in the oven that
she redoubled her shrieks, and the
bear, startled and annoyed at the fall
of the barrel, hastily backed into the
wood house and started for the source
of the outcry.
Bessie thrust the muzzle of the
musket down beside the ladder, and
shouted at the top of her voice.
Bruinetta looked up, paused, and
showed her teeth, but the next in
slant again turned toward the oven.
The weapon was pointed directly at
the back of her neck, and within four
feet of her body.
Closing both eyes, and not realiz-
ing that the stock merely rested
against her side, Bessie pulled the
trigger.
The gun had been loaded for weeks
and the resulting explosion was as
vigorous and noisy as could have been
desired at Fourth of July celebra-
ton.
The shock hurled the girl fiat to
the floor of the loft, and for an in
stant drove the breath from her body.
But she quickly recovered her wits,
and crawled to the head of the lad
der.
Bruinetta's days of marauding were
over forever. The charge had sew
cred her spine as completely as If an
axe had been used, and she had sunk
down stone dead, practically without
a struggle.
But little Nell was almost in hys-
terics, and Bessie thought of her faith
er with a rush of anxiety. Descending
the ladder, she timidly circled the
bears body, and drew out her sister
by one arm. Nell did not stop sob
bing convulsively till she fell asleep
late that night.
Mr.. Pickens was found helpless,
half out of bed, from which he had
attempted to climb upon hearing the

the actual peril warranted, for Bruin-
eta was not likely to attack human
being except in self-defense.
"Nell, run to the house! RUM"
she cried. "It isn't a dog; it's a
bear!"
The child disappeared in a flash,
and Bessie with one more glance at
the approaching black object, dashed
to the barn and fastened the front
doors. The young cattle were in the
open yard, and would have to defend
themselves. but Bessie had heard
somewhere that bears were very sell
dom known to venture near such
large animals.
Returning toward the house she
slammed and bolted the pig-pen door,
and then ran to the kitchen. By this
time Bruinetta was in the yard SEEM
ing to guess instinctively from the
girls fright that no able bodied man
was about.
When Bessie entered the kitchen
she heard the muffled cries of her lit
tie sister, but could not locate them.
She searched cupboard and pantry in
vain, and then, with a white face,
turned to the wood house.
For at that instant she heard
creaking sound, caused by one of the
huge doors that closed the front arch
being showed back. Opening the
small door leading from the kitchen,
she was horrified to see the bear in
eli 10 he
simply crawled into the back of the
old brick oven, and was curIed in a
sobbing heap in one cornerl The
child had been too badly frightened
to close either of the doors behind
her, and only the small size of the
brick opening afforded any protection
from the bear, which could probably
reach her with her claws.
Bruinetta growled at Bessie, and
then, dropping on all fours, calmly
walksd across to the cellarway, where
she paved the cover from the pork
barrel that stood In an angle at the
head of the stairs, and fished out ana
greedily devoured piece of pork.
Stop screaming, Nell! Keep still.
and IL get you out!" Bessie called.
although she had no idea what 10 do,
for the bear was between her and the
oven. The little girl was not reas-
sured, even II she heard. but kept up
her cries.
Bessie stepped back and closed tho
door. She heard her father calling,
but dared not tell him OF the danger.
lest he attempt to get out OF bed and
injure himself.
"It's only Nell who's scared!" she
cried. "I'll soon quiet her!"
Glancing about the room, her eyes
fell upon her grandfather's musket
hanging on the hooks above the man
telpiece. She had never fred It. for
the weapon was notorious for kick
! ing; besides, its weight was so great
! that she could not hold It at arms

Origin of Dominoes.

The origin of dominoes has been
attributed varlously to the Greeks,
the Chinese and Jews, but a Paris
contemporary has discovered that the
ever popular game owes its invention
to the Benedictines of Mont Cassin.
Two of the order were sent into
lengthy retreat, and they hit upon
method OF Willing away the spare
time without infringing the rules of
silence by playing with square stones
upon which various dots were marked.
While perfecting themselves they per-
fected or rather evolved the game,
and were accustomed to frequently
repeat when playing in the evening
psalms from Vespers. especially the
first, that is Psalm 100, which begins
'Dixit Dominus Domino meo." When
the retreat was over the game was
soon known in the convent. Then its
fame spread to the village and be-

word, Domino" hence the name as
