/ PUNAHOU, April 20.-In chapel to-
day, the Dramatic Club gave a sketch
. from Maurice Maeterlincks play,
Home" One of the daughters of the
family has been drowned and the
news has not yet reached the home.
On one side of the platform was the
home scene, and on the other was
peasant and a stranger holding con-
verse. They were supposed to be out
side Of the house, in the shadows
looking in. The father Claude King,
was nodding in his chair by the fire.
Opposite was the mother (Maude Bal
lentyne), holding the baby. Her two |
daughters (Cleo Case and Katie Sin
glehurst), were reading and sewing.
The home scene was acted in panto. |
mine, and the peasant and the strang.,
er talking of the different actions of |
those within, and the peacefulness OF
the home. Clarence Wills took the |
part of the peasant, and Woods Peters |
the part of the stranger. They talked !
Of the beautiful daughter and of her |
death. The peasant had only seen her |
that morning on her way to her |
grandmother's across the river. The |
peasant dIsi1kes to enter and spoil the |
peaceful home scene. Dorothy Hoogs
enters, as the peasants granddaughter |
and says that procession is coming, |
chanting prayers and hymns She too |
sees the peacefulness of the home |
scene and does not like to disturb it.
Stella Hoogs enters, another grand |
daughter, and says the procession is
just outside in the lane. Then they en-
ter. The procession is composed of |
F.. Davis, Mary Smith, IneZ Gibson,
Margaret Smith, Gladys Halstead and
Dorothy Walker. Then the peasant |
goes down. knocks at the home door
and the father opens. The peasant
enters and seats himself He tells I
Of the dreadful news and the family /
all rush out of the house. The moth

mer and terrace balance up to make a splendid picture. The wide projection of roof and the heavy cornice are especially suitable to the proportions of the house. The style is what is generally termed story and a half, which in this case gives almost as much floor area in the upper story as it does on the first, because of the space over the front porch, which is utilized for the large front bedroom.
 It will be noticed that there is an extra wide front entrance commencing with the cement walk that leads to the front porch. Also that the front steps and the front door entering the house all are wider than usual.
 A study of the plan in general will bring out several such combinations. It is the manner in which the different main features of the house are brought together in one harmonious blend that makes the house so attractive.

WILL BUY USED CARS
MANY IN THE MARKET FOR SEC.
 oND-HAND AUTOS.
Few Machines Are Really Worn Out When They Are Discarded, and
 Can Be Marketed.

Few secondhand cars are being should. according 10 popular belief. last many years Wagons and buggies go to the scrap heap in sufficient num- bers, yearly, 10 make possible a large output of new vehicles. On the con trary. an old auto will run almost in- definitely with proper attention and minor repairs.
 Most owners sell their cars because of loss of style or social prestige or because a larger or finer car is called for. Few. very few, cars are actually worn out to the point where a new one is needed. In the last six or seven years there has accumulated a large quantity of used automobiles. These are a menace to the maker, who must keep up a large output of new cars. In a measure this has resulted in a saturated motorcar market
 Critical buyers who have the money demand new things, Few frst-class buyers will get along without electric lights, starters and other late improve I4tlllS anu hCOId44l- cally the cars they discard may be as good as ever, but if it is d little out of date it will be sold or traded for the latest creation on wheels. This same car will serve the less critical person admirably. There are many good American families who enjoy the woods, the fields, the sun, the sky. the open road, who cannot afford to pay s3.00O or even $500 for a vehicle and can never hope to own a brand new car
 Here, then. is the natural market for the used car. IL is no use to try to force the secondhand car back in to the buyer strata from which it de- scended. It is equally foolish to kill the sale of a new car to a prospect who has the money to pay for the lat est model For the car agent and gar age man the remedy is to sell the used" cars to that class of prospects who cannot afford. or do not desire. to pay full price in order to get all the latest improvements.
 There is wide natural market for secondhand cars. as there is natural market for first" cars, but the sales should be made to two different classes of people. There is splendid service in a used" car of sterling make, and there are plenty of pros- poets who can be persuaded to invest in the older models.

Tour From Coast to Coast Can Now Be Made in Great

GOOD ROADS ALL THE WAY
Experiences of Those Who Have Made the Journey Told for the Benefit of Those Who May
 Contemplate lt-Bad
 Stretches Are Few.

That it will not be long till the mo torist can feel certain of a good, sound, safe road from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast across the United States is proved by a recent letter of A. K. Pardington. yice-president of the Lincoln Highway association, part Of which is as follows:
 In November a six-cylinder car car rying three persons, fully equipped for every emergency and weighing about 1000 pounds, travelled from Los Angeles to San Francisco. and at San Francisco took up the trail of the Lin coln highway. That car came through, detouring to Detroit, thence on to New York. and the driver told the writer that his mileage was about 5.5Oo miles. He stated that the worst con dition on the Lincoln highway which he found was between Reno and Salt Lake City, Utah. He further states that if fifty miles in short stretches between those two points-the total distance being about TOO mi!ss-could be improved, it would be possible to tour in comfort every foot of the Lin coin highway.
 Last fan an aged couple purchased a new car in Detroit. stating to the makers of the car that they were go- ing to drive through to the coast and asked for touring information. II was suggested that a tour of that sort was inexpedient because of their age and their inexperience. To provide for emergencies and contingencies, they provided themselves with those arti- cles of equipment ordinarily consid- cred necessary for desert trip. Upon arrival at the coast they wrote back stating that the hardships which they expected to encounter were all myth: that they had driven in comfort and had not been required to use any of the equipment which they had car ried under advice.
 We are daily in receipt of reports from people who are either touring the entire distance or shorter dis tances. and who state that tbsir mile age on the Utah and Nevada roads is, except when they encounter cloud bursts or nedNg Edihs' e9udi tO NhNe of any ordinary touring mileage in the East.
 The efforts being put forth by the states, the counties and even by the individual citizens of Wyoming. Utah and Nevada, are most remarkable. and the result will shortly be most grati- fying to the tourists who this year will find themselves headed toward the Pa eific coast
 The state and county consuls, all ot whom are voluntary officials of this association, have undertaken to ar range more adequate hotel and sleep ing accommodations, particularly m the ranch houses along the route, and we have received letters from natives fn that section stating that they are prepared to make comfortable the tourists, and urging that 'the women folks" come along

service. It projects into the living room. where considerable ingenuity merges the chimney into a fireplace where it blends with and supports z wooden mantel, designed especially tC form a prominent unit of the inside house finish which extends through the living room, reception hall and en circles the dining room.
 One kind of woodwork is selected and millworked to one particular design The design is worked out, molding fashion, in sections, which may De built up to considerable proportions For instance, the baseboard is fin ished at the top with a plain. simple O. G. cap that curves gracefully over to meet the plaster, without ,eaving a level ledge. The same graceful O. u curve marks the outside finish of all holdings in the three rooms. The crown molding at the joining of the side walls with the ceiling is finished in the same manner at both the upper and lower edges.
 The plate rail in the diningroom is made to correspond. Openwork in the stairway and all other work in the reception hall is turned out in the same way. The buffet at the end of the dining room is connected with tine other woodwork by bands of moIding at the bottom and top that extend clear around the room, so that the blending of the interior woodwork in the front part of the house is just as pleasing as the general architectural effect produced outside.
 Kitchen woodwork is by no means neglected, but the designs are more simple and the finish is all in white.

right, the size and the weight of the cornice has been studied. the gable end over the front porch and the gabled dormer in the front side of the wide roof all correspond without being made exact duplicates of each other. Also the treatment of the front porch and the so-called terrace" at the side, which is left uncovered, are similar, but not enough alike to appear monot. onous.
 The large chimney at the end Of the house is another decorative feature It is built of rough-faced, darkcolored brick, laid up with white mortar and topped with white terra cotta chin. ney to match the white painted cor. nice.
 This chimney is intended moro for decorative purposes than for actual
