A Pageant Play

IN The Little Crusaders, drama Of
L the Children's Crusade, Katherine
Bregy has contributed decidedly worth
while pageant play for children,
The story of that pathetic venture is
still source of wonder; and what is bet
ter calculated to stimulate the magma
ton of young peoplef Katharine Bregy
has added to her very able dramatization
a prologue and epilogue laid in the school
room.
1t may be interesting to add a word
from notes and explanatory matter with
which this volume is filled-the authors
own statement of her intentions:
"The present little play is an endeayor,
within the limits of juvenile perform
ance, to create an atmosphere of truth to
the spirit-and so far as possible to the
letter also-of this beautiful and tragic
phenomenon of thirteenth century life"

Prudence Bradish, in Mother Love IN
Action Harper & Brothers., writes;
"The family and the neighbours children
can get lot of fun out of representing a
picture, the audience trying to guess what
it is. I have seen a child con-
vulse an audience with a Spontaneous rep
resentation of woman at the telephone,
a train conductor, a doctor, a school
teacher, hostess" If any child of ours
tries such thing it will be slippered out
of him. Respite from women at the tele-
phone, train conductors, doctors, teachers,
and especially hostesses, begins at home.

An Inventory of Russia

one of the most insignificant IN the world.
Not a single ship of 10000 tons has
flown her colors. To this the author as
eribes her negligible position in the worlds
markets. From 1911 to 1913 Canada
exported per capita ten times as much
as Russia and Australia eighteen times.
At the beginning of the war the total
value of the foreign trade of her six most
important ports was only 40 per cent.
of the value of that of the port of New
York. To equip Russia with half dozen
first and second class ports with adequate
piers, channels, warehouses, &C., would
require an investment, the author esti-
mates, of about 81, 600, 100000, while to
carry out an elaborate programme Of in
land waterway Improvements and con-
struetion, already formulated, would re-
quire an expenditure of $4,000, 900, 900.
After a brief but enlightening exposi-
ton of the natural resources of Russia,
her forests and mines, her fisheries and
her fax, cotton and wool culture, the
author turns to a discussion of Russia's
banking and industrial systems, both Of
which were totally undeveloped at the out
break of the war At that time Canada
had chartered bank for every 2,400 of
her population, while in Russia only one
branch bank was found for every 100000.
He discusses the effect of the Bolshevik
excuses on the banking system, and Is
able to find comfort-provided the eoun-
try be freed of the blight within the next
few months
His budget estimate for the complete
development of Russian resources during
the next ten years is interesting. Pub
lie schools Will require $4,000, 000, 900, i'm
provements in cattle and poultry, $4,QOO,-
100000. The tobacco and brewery in
terests will require 100000, 900 new cap
ital, the printing industry, $500, 100000.
E.ght billion should be devoted to i'm
pIovements in the condition of dwellings
at the rate of S. per year per capita.
The grand total for the complete REIN
earnation of Russia comes to $3.50, 000,-
900, half of which sum tbs author hopes,
rather than believes, Russia will produce
herself through internal loans and q
doubled budget.
For the remainder he confidently turns
his eyes westward.

Fabrics From Japan.

For long time we have derived
many of our most interesting fabrics
from Japan, and 1t would be hard to
ind a woman's wardrobe that did not
contain some fabric that was Of jap
anese design or that was actually
made In that land of chrysanthemums
and geisha girls. But 1t is only in the
immediate present that the PROPOSE
ton OF getting clothes already made
from Japan has presented itself. No.
they would not be kimonos or obs or
anything Of that sort; they would be
made according to the latest occl-
dental standards, and would be >es-
pecially designed and executed for the
American taste. But why not?

and in a twnklng she had unbucklcd

in with sponge and q bowl OF water,

was to glare wickedly upon the Scare

and silver doors in great numbers,
aud marched up a winding stairs and
into the throne room--led by stern
featured Nome, who was their cap
tain. When they had nearly filled the
throne room they formed ranks in
the big underground cavern below.
and then stood still until they were
told what to do next,
Dorothy had pressed back to one side
OF the cavern when the warriors en-
tered. and now she stood holding little
Prince Evring's hand while the great
Lion crouched upon one side and the
enormous Tiger crouchcd upon the
other side.
Seize that girl" shouted the King
to his captain. and group of war
riors sprang forward to obey. But
both the Lion and Tiger snarled so
fiercely and barred their strong, sharp
teeth so threateningly, that the men
drew back in alarm.
Don't mind them" cried the Nome
King: they cannot leap beyond the
places where they now stand
But they can bite those who at

captain.

"Ill enchant them again. so that they

this, but just then the Sawhorse ran
up behind him and gave the fat mon
arch a powerful kick with both his
wooden hind legs.
"Ow. Murder! treason yelled the
King. who had been hurled against
several Of his warriors and was con-
siderably bruised. Who did that?"
: Il did, growled the Sawhorse,
viciously. You let Dorothy alone, or

Wen see about that" replied the
King, and at once he waved his hand
toward the Sawhorse and muttered a
magical word. Aha" he continued:
now let US see you move, you wooden
mule"
But in spite of the magic the Saw
horse moved: and he moved so quickly
toward the King that the fat little
man could not get out of his WAY.

King, getting up and limping TO his

And how they did run. The war
riors fairly tumbled over one an
other in their efforts to escape the
fatal poison of that awful egg, and
those who could not rush down the
winding stair fell OF the balcony
into the great cavern benea tn
knocking over those. who stood be-

Even while the King was still
yelling for help his throneroom
became emptied OF every one OF his
warriors, and before the monarch
had managed to clear the egg away
from his left eve the Soarecrow
threw the second egg against his
right eye, where it smashed and
blinded him entirely. The King was
unable to flee because he could not
see which way 10 run: so he stood
still and howled and shouted and
screamed in abject fear.
