But there are two tasks perform
ed by the District of Colum bia
Chapter of the American Red Cross
which come under the subject of
this paper and concerning which
few Christmas Seal agents through
out the countryhave any knowledge
There exists postal regulation
forbidding the placing of adhesive
matter on the front or back of
mail matter. OF course, individual
infractions of this rule would pro-
badly pass unnoticed, but not so
the SCATTERING thereof by the bonn
bardment of Christmas Seals. Up
OF our personal solicitation each
year since that regulation has been
in force the Postmaster General
has suspended the rule for thirty
daYs-from December 1st to jan
uarY 1st.
Each year the mail issuing from
the White House during Deem
Der carries the seal. Society follows
the custom and seals are not only
used on ordinary mail and invita-
lions but also on visiting cards
The most novel use yet made of
the seals, so far as Washington is
concerned, is that to which the
American Ice Company put them
last year. For few days prior to
Christmas this company placed a
seal on each block of ice sold by it
using several thousands in this
way.

ADJUSTMENTS.

They spread through the audience, and
there was many a moist eye as the
curtain fell and hands CROPPED for their
| hats and coats. The charming Miss st.
Leon fell into characteristic tears
many times during her portrayal of
the exquisitely impulsive Polly, and
once. when she was trying to smother
an outburst behind the wings, she
broke into them anew in appreciation
of a handsome basket Of geraniumS
that had been sent over the footlights.
It is unquestionably due to the work
of this perennially young lady that
Polly Of the Circus" has endeared
itself into the hearts of theatregoers
to such an extent that they witness it
season after season. There were many
in last nights audience that had seen
it as many as three times. but enjoyed
it anew. It would be hard to imagine
Polly without the personality Of
Miss st. Leon.
Last nights performance progressed
smoothly. Miss st. Leon is supported
by good cast. And the show is well
staged. One gets a genuine Whit of
the sawdust world in the circus scenes
and tableaux. 1t is easy to imagine
from the final tableau the tugging at
the heart strings of the born and-bred
circus performer as she stands upon
the drab, empty grounds where the
tents once stood, and, leaving the life,
watches in silence the long train of
circus wagons as they wend over the
distant hills.
