The room was filled with interested
spectators and many were compelled
to stand. Miss Gertrude Volk opened
the program with two excellently given
piano numbers, "Minuet' beethoven
and The Witches Dance" (MacDow-
elD. Mrs. B. ]. Lachner sang Song
of Thanksgiving" (AllitseD and Hap
py Song" (Theresi del Reigo), and
then followed the play, a comedy in
one act, The Kleptomaniac," by Mar
garet Cameron. Last year at this time
the readers gave a similar and COM
panion play, The Piper Pays" and
the performance Of last evening was
equally as well, if not better, given.
Mrs. John Burton, familiarly known as
Peggy, the part taken by Mrs. Jay
Garrison, attends a musical and sits
next TO Mrs. Otis Howard.
When Peggy reaches home she
discovers that her purse is missing, and
search fails to find it. She then re-
members that while at the recital she
removed her coa+, in the pocket of
which was the purse, and that Mrs.
E L1Ohdlu udO piChCQ II up NhCH II Ollp-
ped from a chair on which she had
placed it. She at once comes to the
conclusion that the lady has relieved
her of her purse. She Immediately
gets into communication with the po-
lice and notifies the hotel at which the
lady is staying that she is klerto-
maniac. In the meantime Peggy dis
covers that the woman is the wife of
her husbands client and that she is to
/ be a guest at her house that evening
for dinner and that a big deal which
means much to her husband is to be
closed. She at once sees that it will
never do to let Mrs. Howard discover
that she has been accused of steal
/ ing. Mrs. Valerie Chase Armsby, a
widow, Miss Iva Pearce taking the part
Mrs. Charles Dover, a bride, Mrs. 10
seph Goldsmith in the part, Mrs. Pres
ton Ashley, Bertha, Miss Lillian De
Wolff as the character, Miss Freda
Dixon, the part taken by Mrs. Ralph
MacManus, Miss Evelyn Evans, a jour
nalist, Mrs. Arthur Huesing in the part
and Katie, Mrs. Burton's maid, Miss
Marion Cleaveland in the character
help complicate matters and later as
sist in Strengthening out the dilemma
which, of course, ends happily by Miss
Freda Dixon finding the purse in the
rent in the lining of her coat, which is
similar to Peggy's, and before the pc
lice have informed Mrs. Armsby of the
suspicion resting on her. Each par
was splendidly taken and nothing bu
praise can be said Of the performance

How Frostbite Comes.

The first effect of cold on the skin Is
to contract the tiny vessels that connect
arteries and veins. Arteries are yes
sells that take blood from the heart.
Veins are those that bring blood back
to the heart, and the connecting yes
sells are called capillaries. While these
little vessels are contracting the skin
itself becomes tenser. In few mo.
ments or minutes the effects change
The tiny nerves whose stimulation
caused contraction of the capillaries
are more or less paralyzed, and the yes
sells dilate so the skin gets red. Soon
the veins are dilated, and the skin be-
comes blush. Then the nutrient fluid
in the skin 0he lymph is coaguiated.
and the stretched skin ruptures or
CHAPS" If the cold is more severe its
action is deeper, and the blood itself
may be coaguIated. This is frostbite.

In. vaIu. of ResponsibiIi.x.

Greater than the value of contact with facts is the value of responsibil- ity In a mans life it is the arrival of some responsibility which arouses the powers and makes durable the quail ties of manliness. The effect of respon- sibility is instantaneous. It is like a magnet in it's power to charge the in dividual with the faculties needed for the matter in hand. A light Is gener- ated among the fragments of informa- tion Even after systematic educa- ton these fragments seem to lie in the mind in a chance order until this light appears and shows them ready for use: then abilities develop which never would develop. even with practice. with out responsibility.
