and week later the other actors had
been secured and the time for the first
rehearsal was at hand.
With more than so members Of the
Knights and the staff of actors and &C.
tresses, the party went to the shores of
Lake Michigan, an appropriate stage for
the acting Of such drama. The recon
structiOn of the ships had been COM
pleted by this time and upon the arrival
of the party were launched with much
ceremony. Their appearance in the waters
Of the lake contrastcd greatly with that
Of the modern yachts and gasoline
launches which surrounded them, and
went, on the first day OF the rehearsals,
they were peopled with strengthening
Indians and wcather-beaten seamen, they
gave weird atmosphere to the locality.
No time was lost in beginning the re.
hearsals. Quarters for the actors and
guests had already been erected. and the
work vas begun. From early morn till
dark. dAily, except Sunday, the actors
toiled with their parts. When rain kept
them indoors they acted inside. going
through the scenes Of Columbus ut court,
and the occasion when he stood an egg
on end to prove that the world was round.
This work was kept up for more than II
weeks before the acting was considered
perfect and then another question con.
fronted them. What about the costumes :?
In what manner did royalty dress In
those times? How did the peasants and
seamen dress? Columbus must have been
poorly dressed when he appeared before
Ferdinand and Isabella, and must have
been gorgeously arranged when he re-
turned to them. The research commit
tee had omitted to look into these ques-
lions and the costumers could not supply
the necessary material in such great
quantity as was needed by the actors
1t took several weeks to find just what
style Of clothes to have made. When at
last the actors had been measured and the
clothes had been made, Columbus ward
robe consisted Of four trunks FULL but
his was as nothing compared with the
the course Of six weeks after ordering the
costumes they arrived and dress re-
hearsal was next in order.
Owing to the crowds that had been
daily viewing the rehearsals. and which
had been making themselves objectionable
to the actors, the dress rehearsal was
given late one night. Torches were stuck
in the limbs Of trees that stood a few
yards from the beach and the scene was
an impressive one to the spectators. Co
lumbus, or rather his impersonator, on
one occasion became SO enraptured in the
part he Yas playing that he was actually
moved to tears. It was when the cry Of
land was sent up that this occurred and
although he had been through the part
many times before, the scene At night i'm
pressed him 20 that he was filled with
uncomfortable emotion. This night re-
hearsal consisted OF only the landing Of
Columbus, for the scenes Of the couIt,
the cabins Of the vessels, ETC., had to bel

the coming Of another day. Many dis

and Just as sure as arrangements were
made to do thing on the next day, it
would either be sure to rain or grow

the weather and other conditions the

CUSTOM OF SHAKING HANDS
Display Of Friendly Feeling Origin
ated When Men Were In Habit Of
Carrying Swords.

Did you ever ask yourself why you
shake hands with persons whom you
know? Here Is the reason:
In the old days. when every man
who had any pretensions to being a
gentleman carried a sword. It was the
custom for men when they met to
show that they had no intention Of
treachery to offer each other their
weapon hands-that is, the hand that
weuld be used to draw the sword, and
to withhold the hand was usually tho
signal for . night
So nxed did this habit become that
long after men ceased to wear swords
they still offered the weapon hand to
. friend and declined to offer II to an
enemy. To this day when you refuse
to shake hands with 4 person It signi
dss that you are at war. Among

OPINIONS AS TO FRIENDSHIP
AeaIthy-MInded Girl Faces Facts
Squarely and Looks for Reasons
for Shattered Idol.

Most of us start out in girlhood
with rather definite OPINIONS as tc
friendship" says Anne Bryan Mccall
in Woman's Home Companion, "A
friend should be this or that. We have
the matter all settled in our minds
And then, along comes some expert
ence entirely outside our expectation
The friend to whom we have vowed
undying devotion fails us in some es-
sential and disappoints us deeply. The
structure we thought secure for all
time falls suddenly Some Of us may
perhaps sit among the ruins, bewail-
ing and embittered; but the healthy
minded girl faces the fact squarely
and looks about for reasons.
"One reason our friendships fail
is that we think of them as complete
and established things. Friendship is
a thing never complete-it is always
in the making. A vow of friendship,
no matter how earnest, is at best,
only promise to pay; whereas many
of us mistake it for payment in it.
self. Take any of these big qualities
and requirements Of every honor, un-
selfishness, fidelity-does 1t occur to
you that any one of these can be es-
tablished once and for all? Indeed. 1t
cannot. Loyalty yesterday is not 10y
atty today, nor will an unselflsh act of
the day that is past serve to meet the
obligation Of usefulness Of the day
that is here. 1t is not a luxury. this,
that can be bought and paid for and a
receipt given.
