SAYING 1T WITH FLOWERS
garded as lnseparable From the
Period of Courtship.

The Japanese cOurting is as apt
to start in a flower message as any
other way, the loyelorn swain indi-
eating his passion by tossing pale
plum blow into the litter as the OBJ
ject of his regard is carried by him.
II she tOsSes it out his suit is reject
ed, but if she fastens it at her kimOnO
girdle the affair may go forward. An
other method is for the lover to slip
up to his loved ones door at mid
night and fasten a spray of blooming
celastrus alatuS above the door. The
next morning he walks by the house.
If the spray is still there, all is over.
But if it has been taken in, or if it
has been watered, he knows the maid
is his.
The actual terms of the marriage
settlement are carried on by go-be-
tween, always a man, we are told.
A complimentary present" is then
sent, and if it is accepted the
bride and her entire family are in
honor bound to go forward with the
ceremony. The groom then sends her
sixty prescribed gifts that include silk
of a certain length and folded in a
certain way; garments, silken bags
of rice and sweetmeats, and barrels
of wine. The latter the bride, as a
rule, presents to her parents, and the
contents are drunk in cups little larg-
er than a thimble. The groom also
sends a long piece of white silk for
the wedding garment, and a piece of
very fine gold embroidery to be used
as a marriage girdle. The wedding
day is often picked by a sOothsayer,
and there are scores of days that are
prohibited.

Owing to the freezing weather the

the late variety of apples and an oc-

GOOD WORK BY
HOME TALENT
Farce Comedy ooh, Nelliev
Draws Two Large Audi
enceS

That LadySmith has real dramatic
talent was convincingly demonstrated
at the gymnasium Monday and Tues
day evenings when the farce-comedy
"Oh, Nellie." was presented.
Ben Gottsacker directed the produc-
ton and deserves no small amount of
credit for his work. He also took the
role of Captain Skinner in professional
manner. In IN announcement preced-
ing the last act Mr.. GOttsacker spoke
Of the probability that this venture
would be followed up by others of sim
liar nature and it is safe to say that
those who laughed over the cOmplica-
tions that the four Nellies and the
proximity of an insane asylum pro
duced will all want to witness the next
effort of the company in the dramatic
line.
Robert Beaumont as Lieut. Rich
mond, and Miss Ruby Collins as Mel
lie Richmond, portrayed with rare
hiStrionic skill the difficulties and trib-
ulations they experienced as a newly
welded couple forced to conceal the
fact of their marriage from the eccen-
trio old captain, who was determined
TO be matchmaker, but with rather
poor success.
1t is seldom one sees the spinster'S
part as well acted even in professional
productions as by Miss Mona Butler
as Cornellia (Nellie) Skinner, While
her sister, Miss Daisy Butler, inter-
preted with rare skill the role of Nellie
Huntington. forced to masquerade as
a bride and fearful of astranging her
sweetheart by so doing. Her feigned
insanity sadly perpleXed her sweet
heart, Richard Hamilton, very credit
ably portrayed by Roland LeVeille,
who had series of exciting adven-
lures in what he was led to believe
was the asylum.
Mrs Vivian Pagel put on thick and
realistic Irish brogue as Nell Mcintyre,
the maid, and X. A. Smith surely
lived up to the name of "Ferdie Light
head" COrnelia's poetic and romantic
Romeo
The entertainment was presented
under the auspices of the Bethany Sis
ters. Gross receipts were about $2l5.
