CARE OF BOOKS.

Books. unless thoroughly busted once
in three months, will not last as long
as if properly cared for. Moreover, IN
order to preserve the bindings the Work
should be done with care. Fine EDITIONS
have money as well as a sentimental
valne. and books are among the articles
that should be bequeathed from genera
ton to generation.
There is no better way of busting, &C.
cording to experts, than to hold vol
ume firmly in both hands, open it and
close it smartly with such force as to
drive the dust from between the lear
edges. If cloth is rubbed across the
ton il will send the dust between the
leaves, causing them to dry and become
| brittle before their time. =,
/ The outer covers are to be wiped Win
a soft cloth. Each volume must pc
| opened and shut two or three times "
i complete the cleansing.
i when a book is being read, and the
/ nerson nuts it down for a few moments,
i the volume should be closed and not
i nlaced face downward, for this stretches
i the back and the binding threads, max

TEMPLE STORIES"
Vaudeville Performers in the Headline
Division Are often Arbitrary
and Dictatorial.

Rose Stahl, who appeared at the
Temple theater several times, previous
TO becoming a star in the so.called
legitimate theaters, once wrote the
press agent OF the Temple from dis

under which Nine. Hermann. the ma

OF the star dressing room in the thea
ter whore they were appearing. Being
unsuccessful, wrote Miss Stahl. Nine.
Hermann looked at me as II she
would make the attempt TO pull a
rabbit out OF my ear"
This IS simply an illustration OF the
jealousy OF vaudeville stars In regard

than the other dressing rooms, but ~
it has become known as the star
