LEAVE-TAKING

Playgoers of this city are to see
Forbes Robertson, the foremost actor
of the time, for the last time at The
Playhouse. on Friday, May IA. in "The
Light That Failed" Saturday matt
nee, in Hamlet" Saturday night in
Passing of the Third Floor Back"
Forbes Robertson is retiring from the
stage after a period OF forty years
service TO the drama. an abundant
and illustrious career. The histri-
onic talents, the traits and the quail
ties OF imagination and artistry of
Forbes Robertson have enriched and
adorned the theatre and stand out in
bold relief in this age when great act
ing is so rare.
Forbes-R Robertson was born in Lon
don on January l6. 1858. He made
his stage debut when he was n, after
having devoted three years to the
study of painting, though the stage
has claimed the greater part of his
time and labor and love. His home
contains many canvasses which speak
of the success that might have been
his had he not become an actor
The career of Professionalism is
the history of the English stage for
the past thirty years. He has been
identified with the chief actors of his
time. His own productions are out
standing features of the theatre of
this generation His Hamlet is the
chief glory of the English-speaking
stage of this age. AS "A classical actor
he has no rival. And the classical -
inasmuch as this represents the ma
tural. solid and true school of acting
whether in old or modern drama is
reflected in all his work.
With the loave-taking of Forbes
Robertson the public loses one OF the
most notable figures in the history of
the stage. What consolation there
may be in his parting Is the fact that
we SEQ him for the last time In the
fullness of his powers, in the ripeness
OF his maturity as man and as an
artist.

MADE FROM VEGETABLE OILS
Material Used In Manufacturing Mar
garine, the Substitute for
Butter.

Margarine, the cheap substitute for
butter, is made now principally from
vegetable oils. These are cocoanut
oil, palm Gil and cottonseed oil. A
certain amount of butter is generally
contained in it, but in most countries
the quantity of this is restricted by
law.
These oils are carefully refined by
complex chemical processes and
blended in proportions that will make
them initiate butter as nearly as pos
sible. They must melt readily at the
temperature OF the human body. other
wise they cannot be digested
These fats, although possessing the
same nutritive value as butter, do not
contain the vitamines that are SO es-
sential to maintain normal growth
and health. while butter and olive oil
do contain them, says an exchange.
So anyone who uses these substitutes
should be careful that the rest of his
dietary makes up for this deficiency
For example, a diet CT bread made
from bleached flour with margarine
instead of butter would not maintain
health and would need to be supple
mented by plenty of milk. fresh yege-
tables and eggs.
According to recent dispatch from
Germany. an attempt is now making
there to utilize sunfiower seeds as .
source of material for margarine.

WHERE. REAL TROUBLE BEGAN
Argument Between Hogan, Casey and

Until Stranger 1utted In.

When a man just naturally wants
trouble 1t is mighty easy to find an
excuse for making it. According to
Mike Hogan, Casey and O'Brien were
having an argument of their own.
It had progressed to the extent that
each had forgotten what it was about
originally, and they were wholly OBJ
iivious of the gathering crowd until
an urbane and genteel person in q
frock coat put in.
Come. come, mysman," he said,
gently plucking Casey by the sleeve,
'You don't want to fight. / can tell
It by your looks. Your face is too
benign"

MAKING MOST or THE IRIS
BY |. Nj. BENNINGTON.

Iris of all plants is most Indifferent
10 its surroundings, soil and environ
ment. With satisfactory attention it
gives wonderful results.
For German Iris, plant the Aroots
deeply; but the bulb should be COW
cred very lightly unless planting late
In the fall or very early in the spring,
when they should be planted about two
inches below the soil level. At other
times just barely cover them.
When hoeing In the summer it is
well not to draw much soil to them, as
it is liable to rot them at certain times
when they are more subject to this
decay than others, when covered deep
" with soil; and doubly so after they
become larger.
All the culture they need is to have
the soil kept free Of weeds and hoed
very lightly or raked just SO the crust
Is broken or kept loose.
About November 1, before freezing
begins, give them good hoeing and a
light dressing of manure after the hoe
ing. Plant or divide at any time.
A few very good sorts are foren-
tina. early white; innocenza, late
white; celeste, rich sky blue; pallida
delmatica. rich lavender; fairy. pearly
white; favescens, rich canary; hon
orabilis. rich falls, yellow chocolate
brown; gypsy queen, smoky bronze,
falls deep chocolate; sappho, deep vel
vety purple; all very free.

The Japan Iris requires much differ
emit treatment, while very easily han.
died when their requirements are un.
derstood, yet they are somewhat tickle
The best results are obtained when
the soil Is very rich, well watered
and kept hoed at all times.
Never allow weeds to attain any
start in their beds as they cannot re
sist the encroaehments OF rapid
strong-growing weeds.
Plant them deeply SO that the
crowns are fully three inches below
the soil level Plant late in October
or very early in the spring.
Water well after doing It They
may be planted at almost any time
if the soil is allowed to adhere to the
roots and kept well watered for al
least two weeks. In fact they should
never be allowed to become dry. b
Give them deep hoeing and good
mulching of manure during August OF
September, and hoe it into the sol
thoroughly.
Iris Tectorum, Sibirica and similar
types require much the same attention
and treatment as Japan Iris, but they
will stand any amount of dryness.
Iris Germanica, Susiana, Pumila ant
similar types require the same treat
