definite offer to their representa-
tives.
This year there will be given
two tours, Western tour and an
Eastern tour. The Eastern tour
embracing Philadelphia, Washing
ton, Atlantic City, Niagara Falls,
Toronto Canada, Great Lakes,
Thousands Islands. Montreal, AL
bany, Daylight trip down the
Hudson river to New York City,
spending three days in New York
our party will 90 by sea over the
Old Dominion Line to Norfolk, up
the James River to Richmond, re-
turning bv way of Chattanooga.
The Western tour will embrace
salt Lake City, FOUR days tour
of magnificent Yellowstone Park,
Royal Gorge, Denver. Colorado

via Chicago.

expenses paid by the Magazine
company.

Old Jupiter Pluvius did not sue
coed with the joke he tried to play
upon The Book Club on young
April's natal day, tho be brought
every pressure to bear after
cleverly planning it,
But the little god reckoned
without his host, presumably not
approaching the personeI OF the
Club he was trying his pranks
upon, as they saw thru the trick
at once and donniDg rain coats
and rubbers turned the joke upon
the would-be perpetrator by
sallying forth when he opened his
flood gates their widest, as they
knew it would be worth while de-
flying him to attend the ceIebra-
ton given by the hostess of the
day. Mrs. j. Z. South, who ap-
parentlV in league with old
Jupiter, had her guests welcomed
at the door by the president of the
club, Mrs. Phillips with the very
reassuring news, that she had sue
cumbed to the weather and would
try to rally enough to speed the
parting, as she was unable to
welcome the coming guests.
Before the ladies had chance to
admire all the beautiful and
artistically arranged roses that
were used for decoration, through
out the suite of rooms, young
April danced upon the scene with
an attendant and his capers
thoroughly disguised the dignifed
hostess who after amusing her
guests a little while, had each one
tell of some prank or joke apropos
of the day, and when the vote
was taken for the best. the club
prize fell to Mrs. Cunningham
and the guests to Mrs. Carver.
Then the fun proper began as
the two new members Mines.
Reed and Gaiennie Hyams were
initiated and even the goat that
was brought into the parlor for

The Ben Greet Players.

One of the most delightful and
charming forms of recreation is
the giving of a play in the open
air with Gods own sky as the
canopy.
The comedies Of Shakespeare
seem to have been written for
this purpose, and undoubtedly fit
into almost any environment from
an old Norman Cathedral precinct
to the lawn of a modern residence.
Everything from the School OF
Aristophanes at Cambridge, the
wonderful ramparts of Warwick,
or the Grove where Sydney wrote
Arcadia at Wilton, to the piazza of
the Ardsley Club on the Hudson,
has served as background for the
plays of this master of Stage
Craft, the supreme poet dramatist
William Shakespeare:-these, and
and hundreds of others, too numer-
Gus to mention, have been the
ready-made stages of the Ben
Greet Players since Queen Vic
toria's Golden Jubilee in 1887;
when. Mr.. Ben Greet organized
his Woodland Players.
The Ben Greet Players will
present Much Ado About Moth |
ing" on April 29th and Elsie |
Herndon Kearns will head the
long list of players.

His optimism has been q tonic for
his men. Despair does not lift its
head in his presence.
Cadorna kept smiling face through
the long shower of personal abuse.
Never for a moment did he lose his
head.
His military excursions carry him
oftenest to the hardest pressed zones.
He has q shake of the hand and word
of cheer for the highest and the lowest.
Somehow war seems easier after
the little generallissimos visit" said
a soldier in the trenches. This inspir-
ing magnetism is probably the most
effective element in Cadorna's COM
mand.
War too has endeared the king to his
subjects. He has thrown away the
trappings of royalty and PUSHES about

him.
Although smiling his appreciation,
he seemed embarrassed by their en-

once when there was fierce fighting
in the Dolomites, the king suddenly
appeared on the battlefield. He had

Pressed by Cadorna to leave the zone
