Following upon the announcement
OF changes in policy in the various
Harrisburg theaters-legitimate at
the Orpheum, vaudeville at the Majes-
tic, and high class moving pictures at
the Colonial theater. comes the an
nouncement that Herman " Yeager
who for years has been leader of the
vaudeville orchestra at the Orpheum,
will preside at the pipe-organ at the
Colonial theater during the coming
season, which will open August 28.
The Moller Organ Company of Ha-
gerstown is now at work building for
the Colonial theater what is claimed to
be the largest pipe-organ in use in any
theater in Pennsylvania. 1t is a three
manual organ with an additional man
ual separate and apart from the or
gan proper carrying all of the ef-
fects that might be desired to make a
moving picture realistic
While Mr.. Yeager has gained wide
spread prominence among vaudeville
people as one of the most efficient
leaders in the variety houses of the
Keith circuit, it is as master of the
pipe-organ that Mr. Yeager has
reached the highest attainment of his
musical success, giving this instru-
ment up in favor OF the piano in the
orchestra pit only because the field for
vaudeville leaders has been much
greater than that of pipe-organists un-
til the present day demand for pipe
organs in the moving picture houses
got its foothoid. In taking UP the
pipe-organ at the Colonial theater, Mr.
Yeager returns to the line of musical
work he most enjoys. Mr.. Yeager is
a graduate of the Boston Conservatory
of Music where he took a thorough
course of instruction on the pipe
organ
The Colonial theater. which be-
comes a straight moving picture the
ater with It's opening next month, will
undergo several changes between now
and Its period of renewed activity.

Helpful Hints

To avoid staining the fingers when par
ing vegetables or fruit. bind the thumb
and first finger of the right hand with
strips Of clean white cloth. These can
be easily pulled off when the work is
finished and the stains will he on the
cloth instead of on the fingers. stains
on the hands, from fruit especially are
very hard to remove
Cano-seatcd chairs that have sagged
can be tightened in the following manner:
Wash them in hot water and soap and
rinse in clear water. Dry in the open
air.
If YOU are troubled with mice, put
camphor about wherever they are. and
you will find that your trouble will be
at an end. as mice dislike the smell and
leave the place where they find it.
Few realize the many uses bran can he
put to- For painted and vanished wood
work it is invaluable, removing dirt with
out destroying the finish. Colorcd goods
will not fade if washed in bran water
Used instead of soap, bran whitens and
softens the hands.
If the piano keys arc washed with n
soft flannel dipped in alcohol they will
retain their color and not grow yellow,
as they do when washed with water.

I really happy--for the time, anyway; prac-
tical insanity, which has done half the
great things of the world; poetry, music
| human nature-in fact, love.
Just the being with some one whom
you love. and know loves you, gives a
feeling of rest and comfort"
The writer's of these pleasing pieces of
information ignore the reverse side of the
picture and pass over all the chances that
the man or woman in love takes.
One writer declares: ITO meet your true
mate-that is luck; to recognize him when
you meet hlm-that is inspiration; to he
able to win him when you've recognized
him-that is art; and to keep him when
you've won hm-some people say that's
miraclew
1t would appear, then that according
to the opinion of the last-named, the mat
ter of love is fraught with strange diff
ficulties and obstacles.
BE that as It may, there's nothing half
so sweet in life as loves young dream.
And though it may only last short
time, on the other hand it may endure
as long as life lasts-and anyhow, the
game is more than worth tho proverbial
candle

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR BACK YARD
CLIMBING PLANTS AND ROSES

HNHB average city back yard is an ex-
i cessively ugly and much despised spot,

which one does see anything attractive
there one is SO surprised that one imme-
diatelN is filled with desire to emulate
ones neishbor and turn the family yard
into something a trihe less hideous and
more ornamental than it has hitherto
been.
The planting of flowers and various
growing things is, of course, the first
step in the Improvement of the place.
certain flowers, especially hardy, brightly
colored ones. are especially suited for the
yard. They need to be strong and hardy
TO Withstand the CRIME and air and ad-
verse conditions of the city.
The average city dweller adores flowers
and, in fact anything that savors of the
country, There is such n genuine ioy,
too. In growing ones own flowers, in
watching them come up day by day, in
tending them, watering them and looking
carefully after their growth. For flowers
are like children and need the very great
est of care and attention If they are really
to be properly trained and to do one
credit.
One vine that will withstand any con-
dtions, even the most unfavorable, is
the Boston ivy. Its leaves are dark and
glossy, and it sends it's clinging tendrils

about her for any other traces of untidi-
ness which the fustered maids might
have left behind them. I'm solemn in

piteously. "If you turn solemn, my last
prop is gone"
II didn't mean to-" apologized Fern
"But getting married is rather a weighty
thing, after all. Besides that, my con-
science hurts me-"

I'VE were mean to him." declared
Fern I've a notion to marry him my
self to make up for it,"
The pang of distaste which Molly felt
at that speech was not jealousy; far
from it, If anything, it was a mere ques-
tioning of Ferns taste in making such
a remark That was it!
II suppose poor Bert's lonesome" she
suggested. I'VE really ought to go down
and keep him company until the min
lister comes"
"Murder!" objected Fern. "Molly, you
haven't a bit of style about you. You
mustn't even see Bert until you walk in
the parlor on your fathers arm, and
take him for better orwell for better"
You don't seem any too hopeful"
laughed Molly, looking longingly at the
couch. but remembering her gorgeous
gown. ~ don't believe you like Bert
