and r~efreshinglv pretty bit Of dia-
|logue and pantomime, A real look
ing album had been built and as the
grandmother, looking like an old pic
ture herself. showed the pictures in
the album the scene was charming in
its simplicity and old worldiness. The
pictures represented the different
characters of a country village such
as are known to the readers of fic-
ton. The costuming was in keeping
and made the pleasant deceit seem
very real indeed.
Those acting the parts of the living
pictures were Miss Clara Wilson, Mrs.

Miss Lena Sterling, Miss Pearl Tomp-
kins, Miss Mary Mathewson and Pansy
Hook: Messrs. Milan, Roy Henderson,
Myron Douglas, j. T. Parks and II.

Between the EIkS and the
Little Bears

Is there anywhere about some little
! girl or boy who isn't dead sure Santa
Claus will creep down the chimney
Christmas night? Down in front of
Matson's there is to be a mail box,
and the Elks want every child in the
city to write them a letter and say
they are coming to the biggest, most
beautiful Christmas tree celebration
in the history of Albuquerque. Che
big doings'' is for every child, mind
you, but a certain space in the thea
ter will be reserved for the guests of
honor, who will be those who won't
get stockings well filled at home.
Purple cards are to be distributed
among the public school teachers,
ministers and different societies, who
will give them to various children,
n the holders of these bits of paste
board will be those entitled to gifts.
But no one must stay away and the
Elks will be disappointed if every
tiny lad and lassie in the city doesn't
accept the invitation to join in the
joyous proceedings. The letters must
be in by the 23rd, else they won't
know how many Riddles are coming,
nor how much candy to buy.
The doors of the theater will be
| open by 6:30 in the evening, Christ
mas Day and the curtain will rise at
Z o'clock, disclosing the most onder
full scene ever seen on the local
stage. Mr.. Ruppe and Mr.. Sol Ben
jamin are going to have charge of
the decorations and electrical effects
and are to outshine all previous ef-
forts. Mr.. O'Rielly and Or. Lukens
are the other committee members,
with Mr.. Barth as chairman. Mrs.
Roy Mcdonald has been appointed
chairman Of the ladies' decorating
committee and will choose her as
sistants.
There will be songs and all sorts
of Yuletide Rotations. Miss Lorna
Lester and Miss Grace Stortz, two
well known Juvenile musicians of the
city and Miss Mamie Kelly will as
sist in the program. and others
whose names will be given later. OF
course there will be a real live, fat,
jolly Santa Claus (Mr. Isaac Barth,
so they say) to dispense the gifts and
general good cheer. It's going to be
a huge success, just as all the affairs
under the direction of the Elks prove
to be. This is for the youngsters and
it is hoped every seat in the wide in
terror of the theater will be filled
with one or more wee ones. So pass
along a little Christmas cheer by
the children abou the Elks'
entertainment and aid them to give
each and every child a Merry
Christmas"

Sacred Concert Tonight a
Society Event

The sacred concert, which Is tho
most %pretentious affair of that char
acter ever attempted In his city, and
which is to be part of the presenta-
ton of the Passion play tonight IN
the Elks' theater, was rendered in
full at 81. Joseph's s%anitarium Friday
night for the benefit of the sisters.
h large dining-room was used
for the "impromptu concert, the ply
sicians bringing the piano from the
upper floor for the occasion,
1t was a pretty scene, the nun in
their sombre attire listening with rapt
attention to the music, which is Won
derfully beautiful.
Mrs. Frank in singing 'Inflam-
matus ct Accensus" and Ave Maria"
with violin oblagato, proved the mar
velous range and power Of her SPLEEN
did soprano voice and those who hear
her tonight will realize the possibili-
ties Of her voice as never before.
MY Rosary with sacred words by
Father Riley. was sung by Mrs. Rob-
ert Smart, who possesses a mezzo So
prano Of great depth and sweetness.
Mrs. Smart gives a beautiful interpre-
tation of the famous song which ac-
cords perfectly with the sacred words
written by Or. Riley.
Mrs. Roy McDouald's voice was
heard to rare advantage in the
"Wacht Am Rhein." and Mrs. S. b.
Miller's expressive contralto gave ex-
quisite rendition of MendelssOhn's
Thou KnoWest. Lord" The solo
calvary was rendered In deep full
bass by C, w. Milholland. and Mr..
Andrews. who possesses a sweet lyric
tenor. sang THE Psalms"
Probably as beautiful a number as
the fine program affords is the sing
Ing OF "Adeste Fideles" by the double
quartctte. There is a solo part by
Mrs. Frank: a duet. DR.. Smart and
Mr.. Milholland; trio. DIT. Smart. Mrs.
Smart and Mr.. Milholland; and solo

Now, last week twas a crouch or

dainty trifles for Christmas distribute

Parties? OF course not. Dances?
Why, no. For it's just before Christ
mas and we are as good as we can
be.
Husbands, so they say, are not
tremendously fond of these pink e
and bridges, and care less for the
bill" of proceedings.
Wives, maybe, regard the wishes OF
the husbands more-just before
Christmas.
The writer does not state this as a
fact, but merely makes haphazard
guesses at the reason for this sudden
lull in social life.
If anyone can suggest a better
by all means-let us hear. It's GER
tain thai the swallowing-cash-soon-to-
choke-the-mail process is well under
way and the chief topic of converse
ton in the drawing rooms and kitch-
ems is Yuletide gifts and celebrations.
All humanity now stands before the
shop windows looking at the glitter
ing beauty within, wondering what to
buy, and some less terribly existant,
how"
But the merriest, cheeriest season
of the year is but two short weeks
away; the very atmosphere breathes
good willard it's free.

The Passion Play

Society has been interested in the
| Oberammergau Passion Play produce
ton and will be brilliantly represent
ed tonight in the Elks' theater. The
fame of Rev. DIR. Riley has been waited
about and those who have made his
acquaintance are most enthusiastic
over the young priest who blends such
charming geniality with his priestly
dignity. Some in the city have heard
him speak, on one occasion in the
Immaculate Conception church ana
one evening last week Father Riley
talked to the knights of Columbus
! those are somewhat prepared for the
| brilliant lecture of this evening which
Is to accompany the presentation Of
the wonderful slides of the stupend-
Gus spectacle which has thrilled thou
sands. Only a small per cen Of the
Lpeople in the city have listened to tfe
eloquence of Father Riley and those
who have not known that pleasure
will not be able to gather ony great
Idea OF his %oratorical ability until to-
night. It's a treat in store for all
these that go and few feai rs though
they CUn afford to miss the presenta-
ton. The seats have been in great
demand and it is likely one of the
largest crowds In the history of the
opera house will convene tonight in
the theater, which has been so often
the scene of musical and dramatic
reVelry. Other tragedies have been en-
acted in hat interior, but this is the
greatest tragedy of the world, won
drously depicted, and the presenta-
ton once seen will likely never be for
gotten.
The musical program this evening
will be participated in by splendid
local talent, the names of whom as
sure its perfect success.

The Methods of Man

The Queen of Hearts breathed &
of shining tarts with modern house
wifely satisfaction. 1t was a lazy
summer day-long before the days OF
domestic s~cienee: which tags along
with the cults and isns of this most
highly progressive age-but good
cooks thrived before cooking became
a science, and then, as today, cooks
could be hired n fired, but not
made.
The queens sleeves were rolled up
in a business-like manner, displaying
her pretty dimpled arms and a
coquettish cap r~iotously rode the
golden eurls. Then q shadow fell
athwart the splendid sunshine which
fell through the open door in glim-
mering pools on the floor. The
Knave stood silent in the doorway
surveying the scene with a smile
crinkling his face. He was an indo-
lent looking fellow with merry eyes
and a whimsical mouth and with a
queer hat worn at a rakish angle on
his clustered curls.
Good afternoon" he said presently
in a pleasant voice.
The Queen turned quickly and
looked at the tall figure lolling
against the doorpost: 80 it's you, is
it?" with a toss of the golden head.
And the sunshine" suggested the
Knave.
The Queen wrlnkled her pretty eye
We'll, what do you want?" she
asked.
The Knave ventured into the room
n sighed deeply as he said:
Il need your generous assistance,
dear lady" and his voice was artis-
tically filled with tenderness.
The Queen gave him a look OF
quick suspicion and gave a fleeting
backward glance at the rows of tarts.
What it is?' said said with a note
Of suspicion lingering in her voice.
The Knave sighed again and his
merry eyes grew dreamy and dis
mai. I'm In love-" he said simply.
For a fraction of a moment the
Lady Of Hearts regarded him in
doubtful silence-then laughed.
Don't be ridiculous" she gurgled.
He looked at her rep%roachfully and
me eyes grew deeper, and as ii they
held never a hope in life.
Am / then merely a fool and to
oe permitted never a serious
thought?" he sadly asked.
The Queen flushed just a tiny bit.
one never knows when you are seri-
Gus, she defensively answered. ITS

TIL Knave smiled a wry little
smile which seemed a brave effort TO
lhluse some brightness into his tones.

questioned, looking absently at tn,
tarts.
The Knave looked at her gravely
with his lack-lustre eyes.
IL lost my appetite for the
first time last evening"
The queen regarded the tarts with
more interest and looked suspiciously
at the Knave whose face was as un-
movable as Fate.
wei, what do you want me to dc
about it? Why tell me your trou-
bles?" and her voice had hardened
ever so little.

marked the Knave more calamity.
The Queen showed her pretty white
teeth in q gay smile. Il guess you

sighed the Knave fervently.
"Who is She" asked the Queen
with the truly feminine urn of mind.
IF / only could tell you" he said
wistfully.
What is she like?"
"Like?" his face li%ghtened with
quick sunshine and he seemed about
to embark in a %wondrous description;

Dear me-" remarked the Queen,
Il can't think Of anyone about her

said the Knave disconsolately, mere
words cannot. She is more beautiful
than the dawn, the rose-tinted even
tide or the soft moonlight of the
night. She is all the PROJECTIONS

"Oh-Oh. how beautifully you do
it. She must be the most wonderful !
person in the world. Do l know

The Knave looked at her with sad,
heavy eyes.
'She is your best friend-and your
worst enemy." he said. erayely.
The faint pink of the rose gathered
on the charming face of the
Queen. 'Where can ! see her!' h
softly asked.
