The Country Cousin"

The combination of Miss Alexandra
Carlisle in the American comedy 1.-The
| Country Cousin" scheduled for the
Oregon theater, has proved most
happy one. When this play, which is
by Booth Harrington and Julian
Street was first produced by Klaw &
Erlanger and George c. Tyler. Miss
Carlisle was featured in the role of
Nancy Price. the country cousin. She
made such a distinct hit in the part
that she was Immediately promoted
to stellar honors and since then has
been starring in the piece.
THE Country Cousin is not a ru-
raj play, as its name might imply, but
instead is a sc'ntillating satire on
New York society. 1t shows Tark-
ington and Street, these brilliant au-
thors and dramatists at their best.
The dialogue is clever and the situa-
on humorous. The dramatists have
contrasted the Middle West type with
that of thr smart set in the east and
these types which are really true to
life are easily recognized.
The story of the play concerns a
young girl in a small Ohio town, who
coming of age, besides to break away
from home and mother and see life
She has a fortune in her own name
and this her father is most anxious to
handle. The father, years before. had
been divorced by the mother and
married again. The country cousin,
realizing the girl has been taken upl
fully because of her money, follows
her to New York and becomes a guest
at the house party being given in the |
young girls honor. Nancy Is made |
very unwelcome and is snubbed and
insulted but she wins out in the end |
and takes the young girl back to !
Ohio with her. She does more than /
this-for she makes of George Tewks- |
berry Reynolds III. prospective |
candidate. and that is go-
ing some. for he was. according to
opinion, the most heavenly
snob. she had ever encountered.
Mss Carlisle comes here with the
original New York Company and pro-
duction. Her support is exceptional

Lunt. Genevieve Tobin Grace Hamp-
ton. Julia Stuart. Helen Holcomb,
Jack Crosby. Phil Seege, George Sey-

FALL FRUIT OF THE TREES.

Let those who will revel in the
summer fruitage of the trees, the
cherries and the peaches and the
like. The apricot and the apple,
what are they to the hickory nut
and the shell bark and the walnut
and the Incompatible chestnut
What are. the summer fruits of the
trees in comparison with those that
are shaken down by the fingers of
the frost? During the night when
the moon shines clearly in the sky
and the furred things OF the wood
lands are skurrying along their
trails, the early frost takes hold OF
the trees with its legion of hands
and shakes down the fruitage of the
fall season. What music il is to lie
in bed upon the slope of peak Of
the Blue Ridge with the widespread
boughs Of chestnut tree dropping
the opened burrs upon the gables
while the frost, with the wind as an
attendant, chortles through the
caves as it reaches for the burrs
and breaks their hold upon the
branches.
Anyone who has ever known the
delight Of stroll or a longer tarry-
ing in the wide open of the woods
where the nut trees grow will never
be content until he has added praise
to praise, in the words Of the poet,
BY gaining fresh experiences of nut
gathering. Then let him think of
the early frost as a tireless and won
drous, a mystical and omnipresent
laborer in his behalf with the winds
to strip the mournful boughs that
sound their dirge over that which to
them is rayishment.

THRIFT.

A valuable educational movement
is afoot in the intensive effort to
inculcate principles of thrift in the
school children Of America. We are
not naturally a nation of prudent
or self-denying habits and the in
clination to spend freely has hith-
erto been handed down rather care
lessly from adult to offspring. Ira
ditional American generosity is one
thing-and something to be eulti-
waited traditional American extrav-
agance is quite another matter, and
has its foundation in the same soil
which nurtures radicalism of vari-
Gus kinds. There never was a time
in the history OF our nation when
there was 50 great a necessity as
there is now for stabilizing the men
talities OF that generation which is
to be our future citizenship. The
habit OF saving promotes good citi-
zenship and will result to the bene-
fit Of the community as well as to
the nation. The man who earns in
tlustriously, spends wisely, and
saves little has not much in COM
mon with the radical or the malcon-
tent. He is, moreover, very safe
and satisfactory person to have
around at this period Of the worlds
history. He is not apt to be mob
leader or a Bolshevist propaganda,
and even if his way of living leads
to smugness and hypocrisy he can
at least be relied upon, in his own
interest, to pursue habits of order,
decency and usefulness to his COM
munity. We cannot ignore the fact
that the American people have been
wasteful. Their recognition Of the
necessity for turning from waste to
economy came with the war and its
attendant economic disasters. Only
within the past two years, however,
has America really commenced to
put into practice the principles OF
thrift which educators, reformers
and economists have brought to her
attention. To make the thrift move
ment a permanent one its principles
will have to be implanted in the
minds Of future citizens. An effort
in this direction is to be found in a
very practical and commendable let
ter which Secretary Carter Glass
has written to 20,O0O,00O school
boys and girls, urging them to ac-
quire the habit Of thrift,

The squirrels rejoice, little broth
ers OF men in greed for the spoil OF
the nut trees. There is enough for
all. As the nut gatherers 60 about
breaking the burrs that have not
been fully opened by the frost and
getting therefrom the brown nuts
nestled in their soft couch; or gath
ering the shellbarks and walnuts,
let them be glad to feel that as long
as time has endured and trees have
garnished the earth, there have been
similar blessings for the races Of
men and similar delights enjoyed
by all those who have ever lived in
the fall nut zones Of the earth.
Why do not the map makers wipe
from their maps their foolish zone
names and supply names that would
indicate the prevailing fruits ? Then
would the tropics rejoice with the
temperate zones, and then would all
the earth be made glad in a sense Of
fellowship in the ideal of produc-
ton of the myriad kinds OF fruits
that hang upon the laden limbs OF
trees. Among them would be the
nuts Of autumn, that gave delight to
the season, charm TO recollection
and fruitfulness to meditation. Let
all get out into the woods with
the coming frost and revive their
experience Of being nut gatherers,
finding therein the beauty and de-
liciousness of the wooded stretches
in the season OF their greatest glo-
ryl Fruition is the wonderful life
word of autumn, and the nut trees
proclaim it.
