Tonight closes the engagement Of
the Denin-Sawtelle troupe, and they
present again the sensational drama,
"Under the Gaslight," with all its
gorgeous scenes and appointments. A
large crowd witnessed the performance
last night, and gave it the heartiest
applause. Tonight we expect to see
the house crowded with the youth and
beauty of Los Angeles to see this
piece, which was put on a New York
stage for over three hundred nights to
immense audiences. 1t is the last Op-
portunity to offer testimonial to the
company which has come at such ex-
pense from San Francisco to favor us
with genuine theatricals.

CURED HER.-An old man up in
Connecticut had a poor, cranky bit of
a wife. who regularly once week got
up in the night and invited the family
to see her die. She gave way her
things, spoke her last words, made her
peace with Heaven, and then about
eight she got up in her usual way and
disappointed everybody by going at
her household duties as il nothing had
happened. The old man got sick of it
finally, and went out and got coffin,

The table is the place whore the
family meet, and there should be the
freest and most unrestrained inter
course. We cat to live but the more
animal necessity is lifted up and glori-
fed when the charms of pleasant con-
versation and of mutual courtesy sur
rounded the custom. So far as the
sustaining of life is concerned, that OBJ
ject may be reached if each took his
bread and retired to closet to eat il
alone. But there is a spiritual life that
is to be fed and sustained, and it is
starved where there is no grace, not
only before, but during meal.


The great trouble with our American
life is that it is too gloomy. We take
no time to entertain and amuse each
other, Not seldom does il happen in
some houses that meal progresses in
dead silence, except when it is neces-
sary to speak about the dishes, or TO
help some one to potatoes or pie This
is almost as bad as rudeness or quar-
reling There ought to be bright,
sparkling talk in which the children
should be allowed to join. There is no
sense, whatever, in compelling on intel
ligcnt child TO sit like deaf mute at
the table I; though, on tho other hand.
children should not monopolize the
conversation, nor be allowed to ask
strings of irrevelent questions. Each
one should prepare for IT by some
simple process of dressing. The hair
should be smooth, the hands washed,
the general appearance of each should
try TO be as agreeable as possible TO
each other It'll quite wonderful how
little refreshing OF the toilet freshens
up the soul as well as the face. So far
we all ought to be luxurious. If the
mother sees TO il, that her school-boy
sons always come TO dinner with clean
hands and nails, and that her daugh.
ters never dwadlc into tawdry fnery
or soiled wrappers, she will do more
than she dreams Of in the work of
making them grow into real gentlemen
and ladies.


The table itself ought to have fes.
tive look. Flowers have special
grace on the breakfast board. A dish
of fruit nicely arranged, pleases the
eye as well as the palate at dinner.
Clean linen, even though coarse, and
whole plates and cups, with bright
glass and silver, help the appetite along.
A few well cooked dishes, nicely
served, will promote health and happi-
ness better than great variety ruined
in the preparation.


Some housekeepcrs, with an eye to
saving trouble on washing day, have
adopted the marble oil cloth, instead
of the white damask for ordinary use.
For our part we would prefer economy
in almost any other way. A fine white
table cloth, or buff or crimson one
occasionally for breakfast or tea, will
furnish the family feast much more
