don Tit-Bits. 1t Is really II botanical
collection Outwardly each volume pre-
sents the appearance of block OF
wood. and that Is what ii actually is.
But an examination reveals the fact
that it is also Il complete history of
the particular tree which it represents.
At the back of the book the bark
has been removed from space which
allows the scientific and the common
name of the tree to be placed as title
for the book. ono side is formed from
the split wood of the tree. showing its
grain and natural fracture. The other
side shows the wood when worked
smooth and vanished. One end shows
the grain MS left by the saw and the
other the finely polished wood. On
opening the book ii is found TO con
tain the fruit, seeds. leaves and other
products Of the tree the moss which
usually crows upon its trunk and the
insects which feed upon the different

Yours Truly. isspurely an Ameri-
,can farce, bright and sparkling, scint-
Hating with Yankee wit. 1t is not a
played out French or German comedy,
rewritten; it is a comedy of the min
ute, original and full of screamingly
funny situations. The skit is clean,
new and bright, without resorting to
horse play for laughs.
It is unfortunate that the public has
been misled in its selections of amuse-
ment, especially this is true in must
cal farces; every artist presenting a
new farce is looked upon with sus-
picion until they have convinced the
public that their act merits patronage.

story of the farce, one must see it in

'Yours Truly the new comedy by
Matthew OFT, which is underlined for
Tuesday matinee and night is a
'cleverly conceived, brightly written
and wholesome play; its merits are

musical interpretations and frequently
displaying itself in numerous unfor-

and interest.
An evening spent with Bob OFT is
an evening OF rare delight. Possibly
the truest standard by which to judge
a play, is to note the impression ii
makes upon the audience. While an
