Julian Eltinge In
cousin Lucy''

Ever welcome Julian Eltinge in a
new comedy by Charles Klein entitled
Cousin Lucy comes to the Pinney
theater April 10.
Eltinge's piece this year is described
as musical mirthful, melodious me-
lange of side splitting complications,
fashionable frocks, delightful dancing,
tuneful airs and beautiful girls, or a
veritable circus of fun and fashion.
Those who have seen the play say that
it surpasses in point Of novelty any
thing Eltinge has heretofore offered
his legion of admirers. A glance at
the cast would indicate that Manager
A. H. Woods has chosen none but stars
to support Eltinge this year, while
scenically some reports say Cousin
Lucy" is a spectacle of luxurious
splendor. The second act represents
New York's foremost dressmaking es-
adjustment, and 1t is during this
scene that Eltinge arouses the widest
enthusiasm. among the feminine por-
ton of his audience by exhibiting
gowns, wraps and hats without num-
Der in a series of lightning quick
changes, which keep the spectators in
state of amazement.
The story Of Cousin Lucy" Is as
consistent as 1t is funny. A young
man named Jerry jackson Julian Ell
tinge) finds himself financially embar-
raised and in desperate straits. He
decides to collect his own life insur-
ance money. To do this he publishes
an account of his own death in the
west, then DISCUSSES himself as his
Cousin Lucy and returns to New York.
Subsequently as a woman he secures
a position with a dressmaking estab-
lishment and acts as a model. But the
insurance company has detectives on
his trail and after brief but exciting
existence in skirts, Jerry is able to re-
turn to his own masculine person,
prove that he is not dead, pay back
the insurance money and propose to

HOW UNBELlEVER SAW LIGHT
Recognized Work of God in the Beauty
and Fragrance Of Flowers In
Church.

1 once heard story about a man
who was a confirmed unbeliever. His
wife, an earnest Christian, tried to
get him to attend church services, but
he stubbornly refused to enter re-
ligious meeting of any kind. And so
it went for many years, until one
Easter morning his wife with tears
in her eyes begged him to go to church
with her.
Robert" she said 81 know that you
do not believe-in anything. 1 know
that you do not want to believe In
anything But won't you come to
church this morning-just to give me
pleasure"
And the man promised to go; prom
ised reluctantly, and though he was
an unbeliever he did not break prom
ises, so he went.
The church was very beautiful that
Easter morning. The air was filed
with the perfume of many flowers and
ferns and palms nodded cheerily to
each other. A great bouquet of lilies
bloomed fragrantly at the mans very
elbow, and a jar of golden-hearted
daisies smiled up at him. Everywhere
he looked there were flowers simple
field flowers, and rarer, cultivated
ones. And the man, leaning back In
his seat, felt great peace steal over
him.
All through the service he sat there,
quiet. And at the closing hymn he
took his wife's arm, and guided her
gently down the flower-decorated
aisle. When they were walking home,
alone, under the brightness of the
springtime sky, he suddenly spoke:
"My dear" he said, "this Easter
morning has done a great thing for
me. l have seen the light believer"
His wife cried out In joy, 'What
was ii that made you believer" she
questioned; twas IL the music, or the
sermon, or-T
at was the flowers" said the man
softly. when l saw them, all massed
together in their beauty and purity
and fragrance, suddenly knew that

fore the Madonna, praying earnestly
for forgiveness and guidance.
That night as she slept the room
seemed TO be slowly filed with a soft
radiance and The Madonna, coming
down from the wall, stood at her side
with hands Outstretched above her
while she repeated softly:
There is no death. the flowers say;
In faith we hide our souls away,
While tempests desolate the earth,
And patient wait the promised birth.
The Southwind chants, there is no death

Against his falling walls / set

A kindred spark abides in thee,
That. like the wind no tether knows,
And yet is comrade to the rose.
The earth thy mother is, her breast
Thy comfort, shield and final rest.
There, sheltered from the storms thou'll
bide
The coming of thy Eastertide.
1t was morning when Marie awoke
and the air was filed with the chimes
of many bells. The dream was still
vivid in her mind and, involuntarily
she glanced at the wall where the pic
ture of the Madonna hung. 1t was in
its place, but she could not escape the
thought that the scene which was so
vivid in her mind had really been en-
acted. The hour for morning serv-
ice was approaching and she felt a
sudden desire to sit once more with
the congregation in the holy silence,
to join in the responses, and to hear
the music of the familiar songs. For
months she had not entered the church
doors, but her talk with Sister Cecilia
and the vision of the Madonna had
decided her to try once more the con-
ISOLATION of religion.
When Marie came out upon the
street that bright Easter morning she
found Sister Cecilia already at the
door.
Il came for you," said the sister,
simply.

They were walking rapidly toward
the church. AS they were about to turn
a corner of the street that led up to
the edifice a hearty voice cried out
Marie! Why do you run away from
me?" and turning they saw Pierre hur-
rying to Overtake them.
Pierre! Pierre !" murmured the
girl, pale and trembling.
Pierre, that was, Jim Bradford that
is. Don't be frightened at the change,
little sweetheart. A sombrero, a cor
duroy jacket and the privilege of

of having to apologize for sailing un-
