Between the first and second play, Mrs. LeRoy sang a beautiful solo, "Out of the Dusk," and as 'an encore, 'I Heard You Go By." "Rats" the second play was humorous. Those who took parts were Miss Isabel Munroe, as Mrs. Birdlove, and James Small as the Rat Catcher. This was follow- ed by a solo by Mr. Mills, his selec- tion 'was '"Trumpter." The final play which included a larger num- ber in its cast than any of the others was entitled "A Week's Teial.' Each player displayed tal- ent and also the fact that consla- erable time had been spent in pre- paring for role that he was to play. The plot, though simple, brought out the old sad tale of the house wife trying to secure a competent maid. ~ The. cast for this play was as follows: Margaret Roy, Elmo Nesbitt, Mildred Dorothy Local, John Morrison, Bill Moody, James Small, Ella Chalmers, Dorothy Sis- son, Inez Roy, Audrey Hobbs, Sa- die Local, James Cormack, Bert Clark and Madeline Sisson.

Humbert's marriage has been fol- lowed by love matches which will lead to wedding of Princess Ileana of Rumania and Count Alexander of Hochberg, Miss Loclia Ponsonby and the wealthy Duke of Westminster, and probably bachelor King Boris of the Bulgarians and the statuesque Grand Duchess Kira, niece of the murdered Czar of Russia. Morcover, the last three days -have brought reports of a possible mar- riage between Prince Nicholas, Ilea- na's brother, and the Infanta Maria Christina, daughter of King Alfonso of Spain. It is pretty generally agreed that { the Chancelleries had little or no trouble convincing Humbert - and Marie Jose to wed, and there was still less in mating pretty Ileana and Count Alexander.

Kira has the physicgl trait of a Romanoff, is athletic, strong, a good swinimer, excellent horsewoman, fair at tennis and can play a fine game of ficld hockey. There is nothing official about the much-discussed marriage of Kira and Boris, bat it is known. that Boris has been looking for a bride for some time. He might have married Ileana except that Bulgarians and Ruman- ians have little love for each other and the match would not have been popular, ; Many profess to see the match- making hand of Queen Marie in this discussed match, for she has often visited with her relatives, Grand Duke and Duchess Cyril, at their seaside home near Saint Malo. Boris is understood to be coming to Paris shortly, and, something may develop at that time. Reads Like Novel The romance of the Duke of West- minster nad Loelia Ponsonby reads ks Her impending engagement to Prince Wilhelm of Erbach Schoen- berg has been reported by the usu- ally well-informed Telegraaf. The prince, 25 years old, comes from an old German family, as did Princess Juliana's father. He has been visit- ing the royal family at The Hague, Juliana, only child of Queen Wil- helmina, has had a very simple life, She is serious minded and like her parents, has little time for friveli- ties. For the vanities of dress she has a sublime disregard, Juliana is the first member of the House of Orange to indulge in tennis. Dutch Law requires the heir to the throne shall have her own pal- ace and court, and Juliana main- tains her own household since she was 18, On that occasion ome of her birthday presents was a fully equipped palace. Princess Juliana became a stu- dent at Leyden when 18, and has just passed her final law examina- tion, Her career at Leyden has been that of an ordinary student under the assumed name of "Freule van Buren." But fie put into it an ex traordinary degree of ability and energy. Besides studying law, phil- osophy and theology, with lectures on such diverse subjects as Chinese history and Russion literature, she was a keen member of the club for women students and not only wrote a prize poem but produced her way, There is so much to learn. Of gertain articles and modes it is safe to say that they can no longer be procured, except insofar as rare collections come into the market, and that includes almost all authentic Go- thic, early Renaissance and four- teenth and fifteenth century pieces, Many treasures remain from those centyries but they are mostly in mu- seums, or are held at high ransom by dealers and collectors. "Genuine"? Be Careful A popular misconception as re- gards Sheraton, Adam, Hepplewhite, Chippendale ought to be unlearned. One can safely say that one cannot buy a plecs "by" any of these mas- ters. They were primarily designers and not executors, and the number of their handiwork which can be jraced with certainty to them is not arge. he use of many artifices in the making of bogus antiques approaches but never e the indefinable quality of a genuine antique. First of all there is the patina, the surface coloring on a fine piece of old wood that ages to the sheen and quality of satin. If enough genuine pieces are seen, this quality of surfaces becomes a primary guide. A genuine antique will warp in a certain way and will be worn honestly in such spots as ou Know are Antiques? usage induced. For example, the forerungs of a chair or table will show more wear than the under sides, and the interstices between where chairs were placed will show less wear than where the feet touched the table. Wood does not shrink with the grain, but across it. Human "Beetles," Too The wood beetle is such an ubi- quitous pest and spares so few old pieces, that the faker in antiques uses his borings as one of his prime assets. But here again, a little sci- entific knowledge will guard the buy- er. The wood beetle works under- neath in the soft part of the wood, the human: fabricator exposes too much, In a piece of genuine antique there can be seen the pinpoint holes where the wood beetle enters and ex- ists, but the catacomb of dots which man-made holes shows is not genu- ine even to the nature of the wood beetle. In buying antiques, look carefully HELPFUL HINTS | to the underpinnings, look for fresh varnish and glue, sharp carvings which time would have smoothed, and examine the crevices in which | dust should have become integrated into the texture of the wood.

A FUTURE POSSIBILITY A theatre for children! A per- manent home that they may call their own! A place where they can hear the plays they really like and not the plays that (often) mis- guided grown-ups think that they ought to like! This is the idea mooted in several cities in the old larger cities of Canada. The call is for more plays like 'Peter Pan," but as someone has sald, the inspired Peter was the creation of a us and geniuses are few and far between. At least, in the chil- dren's theatre there would be act- ed the real plays--plays that are pure, unadulterated fun, free from vulgarisms and jokes, plays that are fantastical, plays by which the wonderful excursion land can he indulged in, an excur- ston that somehow grown-ups man- age to overlook, Can you pleture a studio where the child actors are rehearsing?
