 Last summer. New Britain friends of Mr. Nair happened to be at the popular New York summer play ground when they were introduced to number of other people among whom were Dr. and Mrs. Goodman.
 During the conversation that en- sued, the name of Nair was mention ed. Immediately Mrs. Goodman re- marked that she had cousins by that name in Odessa, Russia. Hearing this, the New Britain people stated that there was a family by that fame in New Britain. Mrs. Good man obtained the address of Louis Nair of this city.
 She then communicated with the local man to ascertain If he was her cousin and upon receipt of his an- swer, she discovered that he was.

Lovely Legend Is
Told in Operetta

A lovely old Indian legend is re.
lated in "Se-A-Wan-A," operetta
which the Indians girls will give
Tuesday evening at the city audi.
forum under the direction of Mrs,
Hermann Scheffer and Mrs. D
Bruce Doyle.
The play opens in forest glade
near a village of the Mohawks
when Se-A-Wan-A is singing
1roquois legendary songs with her
companions. They leave her ia
gather wampum, and when they
are gone, she tells how the young
war-chief, Nakowa, has asked her
to be his bride, and he hangs upon
the rowan-bush a white doeskin
pouch. The pouch contains the
blue cornflower which-is to convey
her assent to his proposal.
When Se-A-Wan-A departs, Ne-A.
qua, another Mohawk maid, who is
in love with Nakowa, takes the
cornflower from the pouch and
substitutes the nightshade blossom
which conveys a rejection.
Ne-A-Qua disappears, and the
cracking of twigs in the forest an.
nounces the approach of Nakowa
A headdress of vermilion feathers
shows through the thick brush, to.
gether with the outline Of a keen
martial face; a long arm. with a
glittering tomahawk hanging from
its wrist, parts the bushes, plucks
the pouch from the twig on which
it hangs, and disappears.
A bevy Of young girls arrive, in
tent on practising one of the dances
Of the harvest festival. SEA- Wanna
who has met with contempt and
scorn from Nakowa since he found
the nightshade flower, has appealed
to O-Gin-E-O-Qua, the Woman OF
the Rose, to tell her what has hap
pened to him. Ore Che, the robin
tells Of Ne-A-Qua's deed, and the
Indian girl confesses. The operetta
ends with the wedding song for Sc
A-Wan-A and Nakowa.
The play will be given Sunday at
the state penitentiary. Other en-
gagements will be filled at Lisbon
Valley City, Jamestown and various
points in North Dakota. On June
10 "Se-A-Wan-A" will be presented
in Pierre, S. d.
