FRANKS ON THE STAGE
MANY ACTORS HAVE VIOLATED
RULE AGAINST "GUYlNG."
How Edwin Booth Decorated the Face
OF a ling Desdemona--Louls
Jameo Was an lnveterate
Fun Maker.

While "guying" and playing pranks
on the stage which are liable to upset
ones fellow actors and cause them 10
deliver their lines while In d condition
of almost helpless hysteria are strictly
forbidden by theatrical managers, the
practice has always been favorlte
one more or less with some or the
worlds brainiest and, so far as ap-
pearances go, stern and serious stage
celebrities Take Edwin Booth, for IN
stance. He often yielded to the Temp
tation to play the comedian. even the
buffoon to his company while the
audience saw only the tragedian. A
writer in the Bookman tells how Booth
once enlivened the last act OF Othello.
While smothering Desdemona he man
aged to get some OF the brown paint
from his own makeup onto the tips OF
his fingers.
Then while delivering the lines OF
the scene with his usual impassioned
fervor and apparently sitting Des
demona with pillows, he painted a
mustache and goatee on the helpless
lady's countenance. The audience OF
course knew nothing of it. But when
Gratiano and the other actors came on
and one by one went to the bed TO
gaze at the features of the murdered
bride the sight of bewhiskered lady
almost threw them into commissions.
Each in turn approached the body
with loud lamentations and each sud
denly turned away shaken with con
vulsive laughter which the audience
fortunately mistooh for manifesto
tions of grief Another of Booths
tricks was to rub his face against
Katharines when he was playing
Pctrucho, IN Tho Tanning of the
Shrew," smearing her face with the
paint from his makeup mustache. But
this was at the end Of the play as the
curtain was descending.
Louis James was an inveterate fun
maker on the stage AS Virginus he
would rouse the audience to enthusi-
asm and then strike terror to the
hearts Of the timid In the mad scene
OF the last act. But while going
through this role without skip or
break the chances were that poor Ap-
plus Claudius, who lay dead on the
floor, was praying for the curtain to
come down so that he might laugh
outright instead of choking to death

Man and the cocoanut.


According to the opinion of the old

Of the size Of a mans head. 1t Is a
round, black nut on which all the
parts Of a mans head may be seen,
mouth, nose, eyebrows, eyes, hair and
whiskers, before it was formed from
Adams clay. A wonderful sight
From the same clay God created also
the Wakwak, found In India, the fruit
Of which resembles a mans head,
which shaken by the wind emits the
sound OF Wakwak Finally was Great
ed also the palm tree from the re-
mainder of Adams clay at Kufa, near

the cause why the palm trees of Kufa,
Medain and Ommaun are straight and
upright, like the stature of man.
II you cut Its branches, 1t does not

AS TIE TwiG IS BENT
1T is EASY TO TEACH LITTLE
CHILD GOOD MANNERS.
While Ills Mind Is Plastic He Should
Be Trained In the Home In Proper
Behavior and Language.

Good manners, like charity, should
begin at home. Let me add that they
should begin with the little children,
while their minds are in receptive,
plastic condition. With use. the
good manners, especially of speech,
grow toward state of perfection.
You do not need to have a governess
or tutor for your child You can be-
gin to train him yourself, being care
full to correct every bad tendency and
to encourage and praise every good
action.
Some little ones are painfully shy
In the presence of strangers In
spire confidence In them and let them
gradually become accustomed to the
outsider. Do not force the shy child
to kiss a stranger or to talk to one
when yon see that 1t Is positive tor

When you call q child, do not per.

enough for the hp-to-date woman.
Violet is frequently shown with bright

ionable and equally smart for all ages.
One of the caprices of the new
suitings is the extensive use of wide
shaggy camel's hair effects with bold
borders. Blues and greens in these
are noticeable among the more expen-
sive materials, and often the plaids
are so wide that only two blocks are
used in the banding at the bottom OF
the skirt. A novel use for pronounced
plaids Is the fitted sleeve running
from the wrist to the elbow where II
