PEACOCK BALLET GORGEOUS SHOW

Mrs. L. Tenney Peck accompanied
Madame Foret on the piano. her part
being very pleasing feature Of the
program.
Plot Of Big Ballet.
How the peacocks of Queen Vanite
are lost from the palace garden, how
the court is thrown into great fear
through the order of the queen that
the careless slaves shall be beheaded,
and how the whole trouble is finally
oyerthrown through the discovery of
a mirror by the Snnbeams--this Is the
plot of the Peacock Ballet
The curtain rises to show the pea
cocks at dawn in the queens garden,
who, awaking to find the gate open,
make their escape. The manner in
which they go slowly up the steps and
out of the gate is very we'll chosen
as il shows off their beautiful cos
tunes very effectively.
Comes then the queen, naughty and
superb, to inquire as to the loss OF
her favorite birds, the fruits. flowers
and sunbeams all posturing before her
and her attendants, to win her favor
toward the slaves who have let the
peacoeSs escape.
Queen Not comforted.
Not TO be comforted by this display.
Queen Yanite orders the execution OF
the slaves, and a big booming gong
summons the black executfoner The
fruits, flowers and sunbeams disap-
pear, as does also the queen and her
maids in waiting, and in the darkness
that settles over the garden the head
slave is left alone.
Suddenly the garden grows light
again, for the Sunbeams dance in with
a big mirror which they have discov-
cred and taking this the slaves have
no difficulty in finding the peacocks,
who are lured back by their own van
ity Then the queen returns, happy
once more, the decree is Withdrawn,
and the curtain goes down on an ef-
fective tableau of the entire court
gathered before the queen.

all parts were we'll done. All Of the
dancers executed their steps graceful,
ly and in good time. Miss Laura

most pleasing features.
Miss Mary Won Holt was a superb
and naughty queen, making use OF pan

With 40 pieces, the 1st infantry

recruits, but, nevertheless, at the
heads Of many of the companies which
had no commissioned officers to lead
them marched sergeants as command

Grizzled old fighting men, some of
them were, with faces scanned and a
little aged, but the marching of their
men showed the work they are doing
with the boys sent here from the

The band of the End made a hit on
Victoria street with stirring military
air that sounded well to the tramp of
marching feet.
For the first time the 18th Company
Coast Artillery band appeared in Ho-
nolulu parade today, and the crack mu.

Some Christmas
 Beliefs

Holly berries possess and give won derful power when worn in the shape of a wreath, which must be made in imitation of the sacred crown of thorns and of berries as red as blood. and the wearer must go alone at midnight on Christmas and sit i'll church in the dark, according to an ancient belief. Second sight will then come to him, and into the church will file those Of his friends who will die during the coming year. Worn on Christmas eve the holly wreath will evoke visions of spirit forms "9ming ill the air to sing their Noel songs, and all the beasts will be seen to kneel down i'll worship. If preserved for q year the crown will Eve the owner safety from violence. m some parts of England it is believed hat unless every bit of holly be re- moved from the house by Twelfth Night some i'll luck will come. Mmce )ies can also bring luck, but only one must be offered and eaten in the house.
 The one accepted and eaten will in- sure to the eater a portion of good uck on a day to come i'll the ensuing year. To eat two would spoil the luck, IS if three be eaten on Christmas in )ne house i'll luck will follow. If the pies crust be in the shape of q manager 0he first mince pies ever made had crusts of this shape), then the luck is better. To represent the manager strips of pastry used to be laid crosswise over the pie.
 The same power as the bride cake is possessed by the Yule cake on Christ mas night, and if a maiden place piece of it under her pillow on Christ mas night she will dream of her future husband. A portion of the cake should be kept for the next year, as it brings luck to the house.
 If one would have successful year he or she must again pa"takc of the Ill.n pudding on New Years day.

PROGRESSIVE PARTY
 WILL BE KEPT ALIVE
No AffiliatiOn With Others,
 Keynote at Conference.

Ways and means of keeping the Pro gressive party alive and an important factor in national politics were dis. cussed by a group of its leaders in New York. The conference was called by Matthew Hale of Boston. national vice chairman of the Progressive party.
 Most of those present voiced the opinion that the party must be reOr- ganized in it's entirety. "Reincarna tion,'' ''the new liberal spirit and kin dred terms were used freely in the dis cussion. And in the reformed party there will be only bona fide Progress sives, loyal and true, who had re- fused to go over to the Republicans or Democrats"
 The conference was primarily q meeting of the Committee of Fifteen appointed at the Indianapolis conyen tion in September to take up the mat ter of meeting with the progressive ele- ments of the Republican, Democratic. Socialist, Prohibition, Woman's and Labor parties for a sort of general team work.
 Chairman Hale was empowered to appoint a committee to plan the na- tional convention of the party in St Louis on or about Washington'S birth day.
 4 resolution was adopted reaffirming the Progressive platform of August. 1912, and asserting the desire of the leaders to cooperate with the liberal element of every party and to disrc- gard party affiliations since that time
 Chairman Hale was authorized to be- gin reorganization work at once in states like New York, Pennsylvania sive party is legally dead

U. S. BUYS AVIATION FIELD.
Tract on Chesapeake Bay as Aerial
 Defense Center.

The war department has purchased about 1,700 acres of land on lower Chesapeake bay, near Fortress Monroe. for use as an aviation experimental and proving ground for the army. The price paid was $290,O00. appropriated by congress at the last session for this purpose. War department officials es- innate that $1,500,O00 will be asked or congress for buildings and equipments with the idea of making it one of the foremost stations of the kind in the world outside countries now engaged in war.
 The track is between Back river and Hampton. Va, is flat and possesses all the characteristics, army aviation off cers believe. necessary for a first class proving ground. The station probably will be named Langley field" in honor of Professor Langley, the first official of the United States government to make experimental flights with heavier than air machines.

The Christmas Peal By HARRIET PRESCOTT SPOPFoRD

CWINGING across the belfry - tower The bells rang backward all the
 hour. They rang, they reeled, they rushed,
 they roared; Their tongues tumultuous music
 poured. The old walls rocked; the psals out
 swept; Far up the steep their echoes leaped, Soaring and sparkling till they
 burst Like bubbles round the topmost horn That reddens to the hint of morn, That halts some trembling star the
 first, And all the realms of ice and frost From field to field those joy bells
 tossed. They answered from their airy
 height; They thrilled; they loosed their
 bands for flight; They knew that it was Christmas
 night. Where awful absences of sound The gorge in deaths dumb rigor
 bound, Below and deep within the wood, Mindless and weird the black pines
 stood. The iron boughs slow swaying rose And fell and shook their siftcd
 snows And stirred in every stem and
 branch To the wild music in the air From far lone upper regions where Loose plunged the silver avalanche. All up and down the valley side These iron boughs swayed far and
 wide. They heard the cry along the height; They poised in time with that glad
 flight; They knew that it was Christmas
 night. You who with quickening throbs
 shall mark Such swells and falls swim on the
 dark As crisp as if the clustered rout In starry depths sprang chiming
 out, As if the Pleiades should sing, Lyra should touch her tenderest
 string, Aldebaran his spear heads clang, Great Betelgeuse and Sirius blow Their mighty horns and Fomalhaut With wild sweet breath suspended
 hang, Know 'tis your heartbeats with
 those bells, Loosen the snow clouds vibrant
 cells. Stir the vast forest on the height, Your heartbeats answering to the
 light Flashed earthward the first Christ
 mas night.
