Serving Cocktails in Living Room
Dear Mrs. Post: Is 1t suitable
to serve tomato juice or fruit
juice cocktails in the living room
before dinner the way alcoholic
cocktails are served. with canapes?
This would ordinarily be the first
course at the meal, which I pre-
pare and have to serve myself,
and serving it this way in the
living-room by my husband would
mean that dinner could begin with
the main course.
Answer: Yes, of course. To-
mato and fruit juice cocktails may
be served with canapes in the
living-room before dinner just
exactly as strong ones are. Even
when stronger ones are served,
there should also be an alternate
choice Of something non-alcoholic.

SOUTHPORT Nov. 23.-Unusual
in the flood tide of passing yachts
were two little craft that came in
and stopped at Southport Thurs
day. They were a couple of Rob-
ertson canoes. At the moment both
craft we're hitch-hiking behind the
little Marconi rugged sloop, West
Indian, out from New York.
The occupants of the canoes,
when they are in place, were
Adrain Henke and Nat Gerhard,
half brothers, of Bar Harbor,
Maine. From that point they set
out from Miami, Fla, the first of
October. With double bladed oars
and sails they propelled their little
crafts as far as Morehead City
without receiving any lows. There
the West Indian came along and
the combined captain and crew
gave them a line to Southport.
Fully loaded, each of the two
little canoe weigh $50 pounds. The
loads consists OF a Jointly owned
cooking stove, groceries, clothes,
guns, cameras, fishing tackle, bed
ding, etc. All this is slowed below
deck and leaves enough room for
the occupant to stretch out, draw
his waterproof hatch" shut and
go to sleep.
The navigators sit flat on the
bottom of the canoe, the cockpit
being nothing larger than a hole
about the size of his body. This
hcle is fitted with waterproof cloth
and draw strings that are tied
around the waist. If the canoe
turns over it ships no water and
meme of the cargo is lost but the
canoeist finds himself in a rather
awkward position, hanging h e a d
down in the water until he uprights
the craft again.

TRIAL BY JURY
TO Be PRESENTED
High School Glee Club 10
Stage Gilbert-Sullivan
Cantata
BY GLENWARD BLOMME

On Friday afternoon and eve
ming, December 6, the New Han
over High school Glee club under
the direction of Albert Brown, A.
R. A. M. will present the famous
Gilbert and Sullivan Dramatic
cantata, Trial By jury"
The High school Glee club has
gained statewide attention for
their presentations of two other
Gilbert and Sullivan operettas,
III. M. S. Pinafore" in 1889 and
THE Pirates of Penzance" given
in February of 1910.
Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan
wrote the music for the play with
w. S. Gilbert writing the words.
First produced at the Royalty
theatre, London, March Is, 1875,
it was revived at the Savoy, Octo-
Der II, 1884, and ran $50 times.
Trial By jury is the only Gil
bert and Sullivan opera without
dialogue. In a small way the play
follows the lines of Grand Opera
but only in the lack of dialogue.
The scene is a court of justice,
in London, during a breach OF
promise trial. Edwin and Angelina
are betrothed, but he is showing
signs of GOODNESS and looking very
fondly and appreciatively upon an
other young lady-one of the brides
maids. So the fair Angelina hales
him into court on a breach OF
promise suit. The subsequent &C
ton is clever satire. The judge
shows that he himself is not averse
to feminine charms and is visibly
moved when Angelina pleads
her case. Edwin tried to de-
fend himself on the spac-
ious plea that he is but obey
ing the laws of nature, for nature
is constantly changing" He is
quite ready to rectify things by
wedding Angelina today, and the
other fair one tomorrow. This fur
ther confuses matters, and as the
judge is in haste to adjourn court,
he settles the case by declaring
that he will marry Angelina him
self. Thus everybody is happy.
Musically the skit sparkles
throughout. 1t is goodlnatured
fooling, from the time that the
Foreman chants, "Just like a IA
Their I wished to be-" through the
judges explanatory ditty, when
l, good friends, was called to the
Bar" the Usher's solo with Choir
us, Nov, Jurrymen, hear my ad-
vice"-the Jury agreeing, From
bias free of every kind this trial
must be tried" to the joyous and
absurd finale.

Bar Harbor Men Paddle Little
CanoesD own Canal TowardM Miami

But, Adrain said, they have only
turned over once on the trip down.
This happened to both boats at
tie same time on a beach in Rhode
Island. A heavy surf caught them
and bowled them over but both
boys were prepared for it and got
ashore without difficulty or loss.
While they were off Wilmington,
Delaware, they ran into a snow
storm that left three inches of the
beautiful on shore and nearly
caused them to freeze to death,
sitting in their cramped quarters
anc unable to stir about.
Both canoes have six foot bam-
boo masts and with lateen type
sails the boys are able to carry
so square feet of sailing canvass.
With these sails and winds suffi-
GENTLY strong enough to stir up
white caps, each little boat can
make 8 to 10 knots per hour. The
padding is, of course, much SLOW
They go ashore to cook and eat.
At night they simply throw anchors
overheard, wriggle under the deck
and drawstring the hole shut over
their heads. Even in rough weather
they are able to sleep comfortably
as the little craft ride the water
with about as much buoyancy as
pieces floating cork.
Both boys appeared healthy and
strong and were completely sold
on their little jaunt from Maine
to Miami by canoe being the real
thing in outdoor life, even at the
beginning of winter.
