Dear Miss Grey: Will you please
give me a recipe for fruit punch :?

A.-To one quart cold water
use two cups sugar, one-half cup
lemon juice, one cup orange Juice,
one cup pineapple juice. If the

much nicer. If you have canned
cherry or strawberry juices. they
add to the flavor. When you
make the quantity desired, pour
it over ice, and add a few slices
of banana, orange and lemon. and
a few candied cherries. 1t is then
ready to serve.

% give the people a higher order u performance
If the people would patroui1c but the people have
become decadent IN their tastes IN the way Of
amuscmeuts, well as in much Of the literature
they read.
Can this be true? Cannot the situa-
ton as stated so truly by the writer be
due 10 the fact that there is a certain
contingent Of the populace who will go
to the theater, come what will. and con-
sequently are I'm attendance at the pro-
ductiOn OF the reprehensible vehicles
spoken of because there is nothing else
offered? Is there not in existence a great
mass Of lovers of the true drama who
do not care 10 attend the theater in the

garity and inanity. but who would go,
frequently and enthusiastically, II some
thing decent or elevating were offered?
Would not such element. who would go

than Offset numerically the people who
now go for the mere sake OF passing the

Of frivollty or salaciousness?

been incorrectly appraised by those who
control the production of plays, whether
coming from ignorance Of true art. per-

fact that such actors as Z. II. Sothern
