 The yellow flag lilies were arranged in Japanese baskets, tied with bows of yell low tulle in the center of each small table. The bright scarlet reeds of the baskets, with the yellow of the lilies, made a gorgeous color motive, which was har- monious with the decorative design of Mrs. Lewis lovely rooms. The perfection of the appointments of the tables em- phasized the beauty of the floral motive and the excellence of the dainty viands.

Miss Annie LeGrand, Miss Gamaliel Dixon, Miss Mary Ware, Miss Ellen Linn Motion, Miss Fredrika Ferguson, Mrs. Robert l..

May 27 the Society for the Prevention of Infant Mortality will present MT. F. E.. Moores production of the Indian passion play, ''Hiawatha," played by real Indians, as Lakeview, Birmingham Country club. Performances will be given afternoon and evening until June l. Ever since its first performance at Lake Chautauqua in 1906, ''Hiawatha' has grown in popularity. In 1910 it was given throughout the summer at Glen Island, near New York city, and then hailed as the greatest achievement in a distinctivey American drama. The Evening Sun devoted a half page to a review of it, and all the papers united il. its praise. One writer called the at tention of Jew York producing managers to the striking effects obtained in the simplest way, and MT. William chancey Iangdon, in the American Monthly. wrote; This is real American drama an American legend presented by Ameri- can actors. and the Indians are really great actors" Six pages of the Epworth Assembly Quarterly were used to describe the play and to express the admiration the writer felt for the undertaking, when 'Hiawatha'' was given at Epworth

Since then all of her family has been affiliated with various branches of church work, and in her native state their name is closely identified in every avenue of religious sentiment.
 From her home parish, which Is Trin- ity. in Portsmouth, one of the Colonial Parishes, there have been eight Mis- sionaries to take upon themselves the work, including Bishop Wingfeld, the first Missionary Bishop to California, also the present Bishop of Idaho.

 Heights. near Ludington, Mich, last sum- mcr. In one place he writes: Tt is diff ficult to explain to a person who has not seen the presentation just how the deep effect is wrought. So far as the spoken story of the drama is concerned Mir. Pi- gott's reading is all there is of it. No word in English is uttered by the In- dians during the entire performance. As the various episodes are reached during the recital of Longfelow's lines, the h. dians appear in native costumes on the stage or in canoes on the water and act out the story in pantimme." At times the Indians interrupt with orations, songs or dances, but these Interruptions do not .n the least interfere with a perfect under standing of the drama, in fact, some writ CTS have said that their acting is so real that no interpretative reading is neces- sary, however the reading has attracted almost as much attention as the play and players
 Bginning with a short prelude the read or leads one from this work a day world back into the days of legendary. Then come the Indians painted and fully armed for war. Some in canoes, some creeping through the long grass, and others suilz- ing behind trees and bushes. Suddenly a war cry is heard and in a moment one sees a realistic old time battle of the braves Through the tumult comes the voice of Gitchee Manito, the great spirit, commanding peace, and promising great leader. The peace pipe is smoked and the warriors sit down to await the coming l...f.a ,.1l.. long vigil is broken by the appearance of old Nokomis bearing in her arms the in fant Hiawatha. The braves spring to their feet salute him, and choose Iagoo as teacher After short interlude Iagoo and old Nokomis lead in the 5-year-old Hfawatha to show the people what he has learned. He sboots for them and dances, first with lagoo and then alone, and the scene ends with Kwasind, the mighty, holding Hiawatha aloft while braves and squaws and pappooses oance around him. When Hiawatha appears again he has grown to manhood, and comes to tell his grandmother that he is going far to westward to find the Wife he has seen in a vision. She attempts tc prevent his seeking a stranger. but he springs into his canoe and paddles away to the land of the Dakotahs. On his way he kills a deer, which he bears on his shoulders as an offering. He reaches the wigwam of the ancient arrow maker, whc sits at his doorway with Mnnehaha, his beautiful daughter at his side. Hiawatha lays the deer at her feet and asks hei father for her hand.
 Gaining the fathers consent he leads her to the canoe and brings her home to his grandmother and his people. Nokoms has prepared a wedding feast to which all arg hidden. and everyone. from the oldest to the youngest, comes to do honor to their <eader. Speeches are made, songs suns <nd representatives of the various na- lions dance their characteristic dances to
