the Colonial theatre next Mon.-Tues.
Never before has Miss Hampton
worn such an array of costumes as
in Mr.. Dwans perturbation of this
famous stage play. She wears ten
different creations, ranging from eX-
quisite negliges to bizarre evening
gowns.
Just to give some idea of Miss
Hampton's gowns. let it be noted that
one of the striking gowns is made OF
peach colored taffeta-Hope Hamp-

gown she wore at the international
silk show held some time ago at the

Another is a silver cloth gown with
an overdrape of orchid chiffon. en-

contrast to this she wears a bleack
satin dress, trimmed with ermine tails
down the side. With this Miss Hamp-

earthed the bones of some of the most
remarkable animals the world has
even known. The most abundant re-
mains are those of the giant creature
known as the dinosaur. A length or
20 feet, or even more, was by no
means unusual for the animal of this
species, as shown by reconstruction
work carried out by American scien-
lists. A mounted skeleton in the Ma
tional Museum at Washington is 20
feet long and eight feet high at the
hips.
1t is not merely through the dis
covery and reconstruction OF the
skeletons that science has been en-
abled to learn something of the story
of these prehistoric animals. for act
ual footprints of the dinosaur have
been found in perfect state of preser-
walton in the sandstone of the West
ern country. From these tracks 1t Is
seen that the huge animals sank
deeply into the sand on which they
walked while they fed on the rank
vegetation or hunted their prey along
| the sandy beaches of lakes then in
existence. The sand of that age has
| hardened into rocks, with the passage
of time and today the three-toed foot
/ prints show almost as clearly as on
the day they were made. In appear

dinarily we'll adapted for growing OF
Easter lilies. The islands (Which are
the tops of volcanic peaks that rise
above the surface of the ocean) are
700 miles due east of Charleston. and
their temperature is Influenced by the
warm current of the Gulf Stream.
Thus they produce remarkably early
vegetables. While it is still winter
with us and all vegetation north Of
the line of everlasting summer Is
locked in the embrace of temporary
death, fields of potatoes and onions
are carpeting Bermuda; and here and
there, even in March, patches of
blooming lilies spread a feast for
the eye.
The total area of the islands Is only
twenty-four square miles, and along
the shores there is too much exposure
to weather to suit the lilies. They
are grown in pockets" of rich red
earth which, usually of no great ex-
tent, are found here and there among
the rocks.

duce bulbs nine to fourteen inches in
diameter (Which will produce bigger
and finer plants) may take three
years or longer. For shipment the
bulbs are packed in sawdust or ex-
celsior.
The market is this country, and
there Is always a special demand for
early bulbs, the highest prices being
paid for those which reach our florists
first, On this account the Bermuda
growers have been tempted to harvest
the crop before the proper time. e.,
to dig up the bulbs while they were
vet unripe--and the result has been
a so-called "lily sickness" very prev
alent in greenhouses during the last
few years, which has caused great
money losses. Plants thus aHected
produce no flowers, but only abortive
buds which wither and drop off.
Raising Easter Lilies From Seed
Partly on this account the Depart
ment Of Agriculture during the last
| few years has been making expert
ments with a view to encouraging the
production of Easter lily bulbs in the
|
tanned that they can be obtained from
seed. That is to say. a seed will pro.
duce a plant which will develop a
bulb, and the rest is a mere matter
of ordinary gardeners skill; the orig
inal bulb multiplying itself by the
familiar process.
The imported bulbs frequently de-
velop plants which are affected By
fungus diseases. But II the seeds are
disinfected by treating them with
formalin or sulphate of copper. any
spores of Injurious fungi which they
may carry are destroyed. Thus Ber'
muda lily seeds can be made perfectly
safe to start with. Some growers II

this method. And in the meantime th'

old masters commonly painted angels

/ Lilies seem to have been associated
with religion since prehistoric times.
Away back in the dim ages when the
Pyramids were building. the Egyptian
priesthood chose the lotus-which Is
a kind of lily-as the sacred flower of
their faith.
The lotus was regarded by the an
cient Egyptians as an emblem of the
River Nile and as symbol of the
creation of the world from its waters.
It has had an immense influence on
architecture, its leaves and buds ap-
pearing in the capitals of classic col
unns, while in every sort of antique

the canyon on its way to Georgetown.
The road winds with the creek, adapt
ing itself to every tortuous bend and
angle, and clinging to the projecting
spurs Of the mountains with impress
sive tenacity. In places the gorge is
so narrow and the bends SO abrupt
that both stream and track seem to
disappear in some rocky cavern, and
the visitor becomes skeptical as to the
prospect OF further progress. On
rounding the bend, however. the
channel is found to pursue an un-
interrupted course in spite Of the
vertical or overhanging cliffs hun
dreds OF feet In height by which It
is so tightly hemmed in,
The most surprising feature OF this
striking railway is that the roadbed
was practically built by nature her
self. In the construction little blast
ing and cutting of the solid rock was
necessary. If the engineers had tried
TO make the road a couple of inches
wider the task would have been an
other story. and Georgetown consid-
ers itself fortunate TO have even a
three-foot track connecting it with
the outer world Of trade and COM
merce.
Where Nature Carved A Gateway

other remarkable bit of natures help

AS seen from the approach, this for
nation seems a bar to further prog
ress Of the tracks, but closer view
discIoses a gateway prepared for man
by the forces OF nature, ready to be
used for railroad outlet at the proper
time. The tracks pass through
canyon, and at this particular point
they come to walls or dikes of sand
stone projecting from the sides of the
gorge in forbidding manner. AS seen
from one point, the two projections.
as shown in one OF the illustrations,
seem to extend so far into the canyon
as to cause obstruction, but this threat
Is deceptive for the reason that the
two walls are not directly opposite.
Offset at a considerable distance from
one another, they leave an opening
considerably wider than indicated in
the photograph. In this way Nature
provided a striking and impressive
railway route through the gorge and
gave civilization a helping hand which
well deserves Its title OF ''CastleEate."

Toys Are As Old

1HILDREN have always wanted
IL toys and have always had them.
~ Even the tots who played in the
shade OF the ancient pyramids OF
Egypt had their toys-queer, crude
things that have been dug up after
centuries, and some of these quaint
playthiugs are to be seen in valuable
collections OF curios. In an exhibit
of pottery, at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York are some
toys found in a baby's coffin belong

shaped to resemble an animal, pre-
sumably a cow, and inside the animal
are hard pebbles which rattle as mer-

as they did ages and ages ago when
some little baby hand held the toy.

How The Plants Are Started

If an Easter lily bulb be examined.
the outer portion of it will be found to
consist of scales overlaid one upon
another, its structure being somewhat
like that of an onion. At the base OF
each scale is a bud, and each bud
represents a future plant. The Ber-
muda lily grower saves out each year
a few of his finest bulbs. and in early
fall he peels off the scales and plants
them in shallow boxes of moist sand.
Delicate rootlets quickly develop, and
in the following summer the young
plants. set out in the field, develop
bulbs.
These, however. are not yet ready
to go to market. They are merely
what the lily grower calls stock" In
autumn they are planted in rows;
they grow all winter. and in June
they are dug up, big enough now to
be shipped, having an average diam
