this simple drama for her expression, her mannerisms, and her artistry she employs to their best advantage in portraying character that lives!
 It is much more difficult to do simple things than intricate ones.
 David Warfields Won Barwig,'' in "The Music Master the simplest and the least complex of any character he has ever portrayed will live forever in the memory of theatregoers as a bit of per- lection.
 The simplicity of Joshua Whitcomb's philosophy and simple country philosophy ir "The Old Homestead" is another choice example of the smaller things of life being essentials, if properly por- trayed.

Colony Park was in well-bred con flict with itself. The battle-ground was Valley Tract a pretty basin in a cup of shaggy hills with little lake at the bottom. The issue was whether Mrs. Brett was to turn Valley Tract into formal, sumptuous artificial sunken gardens and terraces or to make it the swimming hole in the mountains which Cora proposed.
 Most expressing of all was the gen. eral knowledge that behind the cam paign for the conversion of Valley Tract was a fight between two> charm ing, capable ~women for supremacy. It gave the campaign the last touch of excitement to have Carter Brett, the head of Colony Park, on the side of Cora Temple and against his wife, while David Temple stood aligned with Rose Brett and against his own wife.
 The park population found itself di- vided sharply. The young set sym pathized with Cora, were eager par tisans for her plan and hoped for her personal victory in winning David away from being monopolized by Mrs Brett. The older element, to whom the touch of wilderness in their park and the swimming hole would mean rcthing, were with Mrs. Brett not only for her Italian sunken garden but also in disapproval of Coras almost sensational throwing down of the gauntlet to Mrs. Brett.
 E,x-arNy ono knew also that the woman whose idea would win as to Valley tract would be the more powerful fac tor in deciding the general tone of Col ony Park as a whole.
 It was decided that the matter should be settled by a general vote of the householders in Colony Park and 4 the adult members of their families. The deciding meeting took place on the hillside that sloped down to Val ley Tract.
 Rose Brett and David presented the plans and arguments for the sunken garden. Cora and Carter Brett pie tuled the joy, the healthfulness and the picturesque beauty of little spot of mountain wilderness in the heart of fashionable colony.
 When finally the vote was taken Cora had Woni
 The gathering slowly dispersed with an outward appearance of having spent pleasant but casual afternoon. But beneath the surface was tension.
 For the younger element, fired by the victory of their ideas as to Valley Tract, now determined to~push on and make their wishes felt in the building of Colony Park while it was still in the making. It was natural that they should look to Cora as their leader. Their elders, however, cou- pied Cora and her ideas with all that was objectionably new and became uneasy lest the younger element, un- der her leadership, wrest from them the influence to which they felt en- titled. They decided to place them selves behind Mrs. Brett.
 As for Rose Brett, who took short trip away from Colony Park on pre- text of studying neighboring fash ionable resort the defeat meant only the necessity for a stronger gathering of her forces. She was too wise 8 woman to show chagrin and too good a fighter to remain quiescent.
 The first intimation from her that the fight was renewed was a telegram from her from neighboring city to her husband:

Banks Hold Too Much Gold for COuntry's Good

New York. November 2.-Extraord- nary additions of gold to the bank re- serve of the country in the form of heavy importations are declared un- desirable because they are not re- quired for the purpose of carrying on the normal business of the country, and if used as the basis of credit are likely to bring about debt expansion of dangerous proportions" in a bulletin issued by the National City bank. The advisability of making further foreign loans is strongly urged.
 The bulletin declares that the nation is doing business at this time under conditions calculated to encourage peo- pie to go into debt. It points out that With money easy, interest rates low, and profits from business unusually large, there is naturally great tempt ation to borrow money to buy stocks of companies that are making phenom- enal earnings. and to enlarge indus tries which are prospering.
 High prices for farm products, it is asserted. will encourage farmers to buy more land.

I have used the yolk of an egg in my pie water for years and my pastry has been excellent always But the man of the house declares the hot water crust is more tender. And vet there is nothing new under the suni You say it was heard of in years agone Add salt and use more flour on board to roll out This hint is for the inexperienced

 You are kindly thoughtful to report your success with the hot water pastry corroborated by the man of the house." An egg is saved by the process! An egg saved nowadays is several pennies earned.

Try little piece of alum in the water in which you boil t. One quart of vinegar (weaken if too strong), two cups of sugar, a few cloves and allspice, one stick of cinnamon, one or two small red peppers.
