and prayer meeting regularly, and
takes part in the services, but is ug-
ly and cross to his wife and children,
what reason is there for us to con
clude that he is not hypocrite?
How would you class woman ac-
tive in church and missionary work,
who habitually repeats stories, whet-
her true or false, against the charac-

tiles and manners that stamp her I'M
mistakeably the lady. commands the
respect Of everyone with whom she
comes in contact; also that it is no

Miss Holmes writes to the Chicago

theory in this regard being set forth
quite forcefully in the following

ADJUSTMENTS.

Do you believe in Santa Claus
This question may be little out of
season, but whether you do or not
you will probably be convinced when
"The Gingerbread Man" comes to
town, and he is due 1ere on Wedne-
day, matinee and night, when he and
his cohorts will introduce Santa Claus
for your favorable inspection. Thanked
by a lot of pretty girls, a lot of good
music, and some excellent comedians,
they will present Sloane & Rankea 8
pretty musical play for your delecta-
ton in way that should excite your
admiration. This charming musical
oddity was presented in this section
last year and received unstinted praise
from all who attended the perform
ance, and their name was legion. TAX
ing it all in all it was said to be a
very commendable production and as
surances are such that the present
one is a replica, and contains many
of the clever people that were in last
seasons company.
The production from scenic stand
point is said to be all that can be de-
sired, and many novel features have
been added to bring the piece right
up to date, and make it an entertain
ment as unusual as it is attractive
Ross Snow and Williams Cameron, the
two principal comedians, are still with
the organization, and young Ameri-
can prima donna, with very fine high
soprano voice, and very pleasing to
look upon, is playing the leading femi-
nine role. The rest of the cast is
said to be entirely up to the standard,
and judging from the favorable criti-
cisms received in the cities that they
have played recently the company is
in for a record-breaking engagement.
No doubt many remember Sloane's
pretty music with which the piece
abounds, as it appeals to all classes of
music lovers, and has sound melodie
virtues. Mr. Sloane has given us.
from time to time. many musical
gems, but never SO many in one opera
as are found in "The Gingerbread
Man"
