Stuart Walker Offerings.
Up at the Punch and Judy theater
playgoers are being offered some
thing actually new and refreshing. It
is a bill Of three short plays by the
Stuart Walker players, including THE
Laughter Of the Gods" ''Stingy." and
"A Night in Avignon."
Mr. Walker has achieved a new tri-
umph in The Laughter Of the Gods"
The play Is by lord Dunsany, the well
known Irish dramatist, and had its
American premiere here recently
As persons know who have read this
play, The Laughter Of the Gods tells
the story OF an ancient king who
leaves his capital city with his queen
and court and journeys to the jungle
city Of Thick. which pleases him 50
nightly that he decides never to
leave it The prospect OF an endless
exile dispIeases the ladies' Of the court
so much that they stir up their hus-
bands, who hatch a conspiracy. They
force the court prophet TO make a
prophecy that If king KarnOs and his
retinue do not depart within three
days the city viii be destroyed. The
king and his followers are all re-
ugious skepticss 1t is only the queen
who feels the approaching doom ana
the cruel laughter Of the gods rings
out when they make the false proph-
ecy Of the inundated prophet turn
into true prophecy BY destroying the
city. The scene is a gorgeous room
in the palace. rich in color, and the
fall OF the city IS a magnificent spec
tacle-

Evening Chat
Who Likes Rain?


A dreary rain began falling this
morning before daylight and when
Fairmonters arose and looked out Of
the window and saw the close gray
mist which hung over everything with
the fine rain falling steadily,-many
we're the EXPLANATIONS OF regret.
Very few people like rain-unless it is
when the charm Of an old.fashioned
attic still holds sway over young
hearts and one can creep stealthily up
and sit among the rafters with old
books and quaint curiosities to enter
tain, Then, the steady patter, patter
on the roof grows into gentle,
fthymic sound which is very pleasant
something which fascinates in spite
OF the dullness of the out-of-doors. If
the sky were not quite so nondescript
ii color and quality-if the sun could
but smile through the tears wh:ch fall
I've wouldn't mind the rain so much.
When many indoor occupations fill
the heart and mind; then rain is not
so bad. But for those who brave the
dampness, going out into the wetness
and mist,-for those who walk under
the bare black trees which seem to
their many dripping twigs just to scat
ter the drops of water down ones
back, the rainy season is not a time
Of great rejoicing. Except to Mother
Earth getting ready at this time of
the year to bring forth her blessings
to us in the shape of gardens and beau.
tiful flowers.
