1t was Grandma Gregory's seven
tieth birthday and the ambitious, bust
ling old lady arose early and sat up
late to duly celebrate the occasion. All
day long her favorite niece, Alma Win
ston, was at her side and because they
loved Alma, half a dozen of her closest
chums brought presents to her aged
relative and gave Grandma Gregory
what she called the happiest merriest
time of her whole life.
With eventide every pretty lass had
a beau and Alma two of them. Ar
thur Gourley came first. He was a
good deal of fOp and sometimes Alma
made fun of him. He was well mean
ing, however, and Alma could not help
but feel tender towards him when he
presented her grandmother with a
lovely bunch of American beauty
roses.
No one ever made fun of Bryce AL.
den, however. He was one of the de-
pendable ones, rather too sedate, some
of the flighty maids said, but when sys
TEN and order came in as elements In
their pleasures or duties Bryce Alden
was the burden bearer. He was
great favOrite of Grandma Gregory
On the present occasion he made hel
his ardent friend for life.
"Pm a practical sort of being. Mrs
Gregory" he told her, "and l heard
that although you have certainly done
your share of work along years, you
are intent on making our soldiers II

Grandma Gregory fiuttered and fuss
ed like a young girl, blushing under a
handsome compliment. The girls
crowded around to view the contents
of the box she unpacked.
"Oh, dearl It's too lovely, Mr.. Al
den. You have made an old, old wom-
an very, very happy" and grandma's
eyes were suffused with tears, while
those about them set up a babel Of
commentator and due appreciation Of
the pretty gift.

culated grandma-'and oh, Alma, just

work in, and the needles Of all kinds,

fitted out for another good ten years
of work." declared the delighted old
lady.
At once Mrs. Gregory started In at
the same. Inside of month she was
teaching half the ladies of the town
how to knit. Alden was at the Greg
DRY home when the first two sweaters
were completed.
'The lucky men at the front who
get those superb beauties will real
lie how they are remembered and
! thought Of at home" remarked Alden
enthusiastically.
"And do you notice the little lines of
red, white and blue running through
the collars, Mr.. Alden?" Alma direct

with pride and Alma thanked Alden
with her eyes for the eloquent patriotic
compliment to her grandmother which
he expressed.

sensational, classic and modern
dances. They will be assisted by

The play is in three acts and five
scenes, and Manager MoroSco has
spared no expense in giving faith
full reproduction OF these Deautllul
islands. The first act is laid on the
Puma Coast, the second shows the
interior of a grass hut, Wilson's
home, and the third the bungalow OF

however, and there is always some
thing different in the song and dance
acts that are presented in Orpheum
vaudeville. In fact, such novelty is
absolutely necessary, and engage
ments are not given to artists who
fail to create or acquire new ideas
OF presentation.
1t was with the purpose of creating
an act that would set a standard
in such entertainment that Mr..
Beck, managing director of the Or

vile knowledge to work. Mr.. Beck
placed Miss Cavanagh under a long
