A Homestead Wedding Dinner.
From the Atlantic.

From the Atlantic. -
Our dinner was a success, but that is
not to be wondered at Every woman for
miles around contributed. Of course, we
had to borrow dishes. but we couldn't
think of seating every one, SO we set one
table for twenty-four and had three other
long tables, on one of which we placed
all the meats, pickles and sauces, on
another the vegetables, soup and coffee.
and on the third the pie. cakes. ice cream
and other desserts. We had two big long
shelves. one above the other. on which
were the dishes The people helped them
selves to dishes and neighbors took turns
at serving from the tables, SO people got
what they wanted and hunted themselves
q place to sit while they ate. Two of the
cowboys from this ranch waited upon the
table at which were the wedding party and
some Of their friends. Boys from other
ranches helped serve and carried coffee.

we're tolerably good linen and we had
ironed them wet SO they looked nice We
had white lace paper on the shelves and
we used drawnwork paper napkins. AS
I said, we borrowed dishes, or. that is,
every woman who called herself our
neighbor brought whatever she thought
we would need. So after every one had
eaten I suggested that they sort out
their dishes and wash them, and In that

CARD-CATALOGUING THE STAGE
Keeping q Card Index Of Emotions
and Things That Stir Them.

From the New York Evening Post
Theatrical managers have often on their
lips the phrase. What the public wants.
The layman has not always been con-
vinced that they knew quite what Is i'm
piled by it. He, poor man, in surveying
any theatrical season, has seen little
more than an unclassifiable variety Of
plays. Beside raw, so-called red-blooded,
red-lighted pieces, he has observed spec
tacular phantasies roaring farces, certain
excellent subdued comedies, sometimes
with settings as remote as the eigh-
teenth century, with an occasional
Shakespeare. He wonders whether popu-
lar tastes are sufficiently homogeneous
to be embodied In the term public" and
concludes merely that a good play will
nearly always go and that certain
number of poor plays contrive to have
their runs. He is stiH optimistic to the
extent of believing that the best in human
nature can be stirred by the stage. but
that, left to itself. the human-natured
public Is not always the best judge
But 1t now appears that the layman
has been all wrong. While he has been
cropping, the theatrical manager has been
employing such a scientific device as the
card catalogue. Mr. George Cohan in
the current McClure's has divided emo
tions felt by an audience into three large
classes: tears. laughs and thrills: and
enumerates well known managerial tricks
to produce each. Some of the leading
"tear-getters,' to use his matter of fact
phrase, are the following: "A child in
a nightie saying his Now I lay me. .;
"a little child dying on the STAGE" ''any
love scene played in the moonlight" IAN
errant woman at bay and crying out, i
am not bad woman .; "a lost child re-
turned to it's mothe4." "a character lab
oring under great sorrow with smile
on his face" Nearly all these details are
cessful plays.
The laughs are too we'll known to

Of slap-stick humor. The writer reck-

surprised to learn OF some of the disin-
genuous ways by which thrills are pro-
duced. Sometimes a pistol which has no
part in the action is kept in sight to help
along a dull scene. or the stage is dark
ened without logical reason, simply to
create an effect of ominousness. In such
q scene 1t Is well to have a man carry
