Jimmy Skunk was homeless. Anyway
that Is the way Ire felt. OF course, he
wasn't truly homeless, because he had
the old house he had lived in for a
year But house isn't always q home.
NO, indeed, house isn't always a home.
That is the way it was with jimmy.
With Mrs. Skunk gone. it wasn't home
at all; it was just a place to sleep
Mrs. Skunk had left Jimmy and taken
possession of the old house Johnny and
Polly Chuck had left up in the far
corner of the Old Orchard She had
warned Jimmy to keep away She had
told him that she didn't want to see
him about. 1t had hurt Jimmys feel
lngs greatly, because he really was
very, very fond Of Mrs Skunk. He
couldn't understand it, But he needed
Mrs. Skunk's warning and kept away
from the far corner Of the Old Or
chard.
Being lonely, Jimmy took to wander
ing about a great deal Sometimes he
came home to sleep in his old house

and sometimes he didn't. He became
something Of q tramp, sleeping wher-
ever he could find hole or comfort
able dark place. He visited the Old
Pasture and hunted for fat beetles
there. He wandered all over the Green
Meadows, digging out white grubs from
the grass roots and thus being of real
service to Farmer Brown, though he
didn't know it. He even went way over
to the shore Of the Big River and made
good dinner of a dead fish he found
there.
Wandering about in this way, Jimmy
Skunk learned many secrets. He found
the home Of Reddy Fox. lie found the
slippery slide Of Little Joe Otter. He
learned where Unc' Billy Postum and
Bobby Coon were making their homes.
He discovered that old Mr.. Toad had
como all the way from Farmer Browns
garden down to the Smiling Pool and
spent most Of his time sitting in the
water singing. Wherever he went Jimmy
met with the greatest respect. No one
ever quarreled with him. Even Old

Edgar stillman Kelley's musical
miracle play "The Pilgrims. Prog

Sihson, was given for the first time in
New York last evening at the third
concert Of the music festival bv the
oratorlo Society at the armorv Of the
lse Regiment. The work had it's frs.
per!oTmance anywhere at the Cincin-
ha.1 FESTIVAL in May, 1918.
Mrs. Hodgkinson has arranged her
story IN three "acts" or parts" and
seven scenes, retaining much of Bun
vans language for her text. In the
nrst part Christian hears the voices
OF DOOM crying in the City of Dcstruc-
t'on mat the day Of the Lord cometh.

strengthened he proceeds to the VAL
iey OF humiliation, where he meets
the hend Apollyon, whom he over
comes in single combat.
Temptations of Vanity Fair
In the second part or "act" Christian
meets with the temptations OF Vanity
Fair. The tradcsmcn offer him their
yam wares. Mr.. Worldly Wiseman and
Mr.. Money Love advise him to desist
from his journey. Atheist seeks to
shake his faith and Nine. Bubble seeks
to practice upon him her soroerv.

ing of the goodness and beauty of His
City. Thus encouraged, Christian
crosses the river and proceeds to
ms a goal: Here he is greeted by the
Angel with the benediction, BLESSED
Are They That Do His Command
ments." The gates are opened for
MN, and Christian and his comrades
are greeted with the full chorus chant
ing, "Well done, good and faithful
servants"
Judlcious cuts were made last even

part entitled "The Delectable Monn-

MI Kelley Is well known as mn
slc!an of sound training and solid ac
qulrements. He already has to his
credit an operetta, "Puritania'': the
Aladdin" suite for orchestra ia

works. And, inspired by Bunyan. he
has written warm -booded and melodj-
Gus music. He is effective both in the
sacred and in the profane, in the pas~
sages for Christian and the Celestial
voices, Apollyons music and the
chorus of friends. There arc MANY

terances being merely those of a con-
ventlonal siren. The choruses in this
work closes in high vein Of spiritual
exaltation, with uplifting passages for
the heavenly host and the celestial
chorus.
The performance was impressive and
animated. There were two changes in
the cast Miss Mabel Garrison, sud
denly taken i'll, was replaced by Miss
Vera Curtis, soprano, of the Metropol-
itan opera company, who learned her
part, the Angel, in twenty-four hours.
The part of the Shepherd Boy vas sung

originally announced.
