QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

"Will editor of Efficient Housekeep-
ing please tell me how to pack steel and
iron cooking utensils so they will not
rust while in storage for several
months9"
Reply.-Frying pans, broilers and
similar articles will not rust if coated
with suet. Warm the fat and rub it
on the articles, then wrap them in pa

tion you asked in your letter to us and

"At a company breakfast or tea
where do You place the coffee and tea
cups, in front of the hostess or on a
side table,"
Reply.-The tea and coffee service
should be in front of the hostess and
the cups, sugar and cream holders and
so on should be on a tray. 1t is no
longer correct to have the empty cups
placed beside the plates as it once was.
Moreover the guest keeps the first cup
that is given her unless requested to
pass it on.

CHAPTER n.
A Man With a Past.

The oriental night air was stirless.
1t was without refreshment; it became
labor and not an exhilaration to
breathe it. A pail of suffocating dust
rolled above and about the Irrawaddy
flotilla boat which, buffeted by the
strong, irregular current, strained at
Its cables, now at the bow, now at the
stern, not dissimilar to the las. rock

ton was quite perceptible to the girl
who leaned over the bow rail. her
handkerchief pressed to her nose, and
gazed interestedly at the steep bank.

she saw the flames as one sees a

She choked little. Her eyes smart

and cold-cream seemed only to provide
a surer resting place for the impalpa-

asked they could not, would not, an

asked, and night after night they had
only twinkled as of old. She had trav

doubt beset her. It was to be Leaf
in the dark, with no one to tell heI
what was on the other side. But why
this insistent doubt? Why could she
not take the leap gladly, as a woman
should who had given the Affirmative

that she loved him, away from him she
did not know what sentiment really

whirls of harmony. Their performance
consists of four of the best parts of

George AIDE, the famous humorist, who
wrote the playlet, can point with pride
to this bristling comedy gem. The
clever situations and lines are certainly
enhanced by the capable company that
handles them. Harry and Eva Puck
appear in an original and exceedingly
clever song, dance and patter skit;
Hoey and Lee are back in their usual
big hit of comedy and parodies, and in
fact there isn't dull minute during
the entire performance. Adv.*

Johns Hopkins football player whose

Al. II. Wilson

AL. H. Wilson, the singing German
dialect comedian, will be seen at the
Majestic on Saturday afternoon and
evening in a revival of t'When Old New
York was Dutch" brought up-to-date
by his manager, Sidney R. Ellis, who
has provided additional new scenes and
electrical effects. During the progress
of the play the audience secures an in
sight of the picturesque pioneer days of
old New York, two centuries ago, with
heart interest awakened by the love af-
fair of young German and maiden
of noble family. The play throughout
will appeal to those who appreciate
strong sentiment and generous meas
ure of romance. A natural feature of
the performance will be the songs in
jected at intervals by the star. The
titles suggest that after being heard
they will be whistled and hummed long
after Mr.. Wilson's departure. They
are "When 4 First Met You,' Moon,
Moon, Moon,' "When the Roses in
Spring Bloom Agar" and "Mr. Bear. Z"

"Uncle Toms Cabin

Among the notable scenes of kibble
& Martin s "Uncle Tom s Cabin,
which is to be at the Majestic Friday
afternoon and evening, is the st. Claire
home, showing the tropical garden with
its fragrant magnolia and orange trees,
among which nestles the typical South
ern plantation residence, the home of
Little Eva; Legree's cotton plantation
on the Red river with the cotton in
full bloom; the wild rocky pass in
Southern Ohio, and the ice-choking Ohio
river by moonlight. The transformation,
entitled "The Celestial City" is said to
be the most magnificent tableau over
conceived. In offering his revival to our
city Kibble & Martin not only claim
that the scenic effects are superior to
any ever attempted but honestly assure
prospective patrons that the company
is composed of the most capable talent
obtainable. Adv

NEW USE FOR ALLIoAToRs
Dayton Plans to Use Them as Sewer
Cleaners

Dayton, o., Feb. 23.-The city sof
Dayton is planning to introduce an in
novation in the importation of alliga,
tors to clean out the city's sewers. A
contract probably will be signed this
week with man from Florida, who
will have charge of the enterprise.
The idea is to start an illigator head
first through clogged sewer. Being
unable to turn around, he will keep on
going until he reaches manhole, where
he will be taken out. Attached to the
alligator is to be rope, the other end
of which is tied to scraper. This will
open the way for flushing and the even
tual cleaning out of the sewer.
