Gasoline has its proper funcâ€" tion when placed in the fuel tank of an auto, but not on leather cushions. Its use here causes the upholstery to crack and deadens the lustre. There comes a time in the life of every car when a new coat of paint and varnish is required to keep the surface properly protected and to keep the machine at its maximum attracâ€" tiveness in appearance. It is a wise owner who recognizes the importance of thus avoiding unnecessary depreciaâ€" tion by a liberal use of paint and varnish. ATTENTION TO WHEELS. ‘ The wheels of a car are likely to need such attention more often thani the body. Wheels need more washing and painting because of their constant contact with dirt. The amateur can usually get away with the job of washâ€" ing and varnishing wheels. It is espeâ€" cially easy to clean and paint the disc wheels. The wireâ€"spoke wheels are more difficult. However, when it comes to a complete job of painting an automobile, the owner who is not an expert painter will do well to send his car to a reliable paint shop rather than to undertake the job himself. t Â¥, (OC Lo aoere Lo. ‘.\ | FANNY FLAPPER BetTy!} | Ar DCek _ 7 hi ‘l6 5ce crcimbe 6B There is nothing more persistent than deterioration of material obâ€" jects, of which the auto is one.

Afar from towns where peelers peel, and coppers cop the jake, I learned to twist the stoering wheel, and yank the clanging brake. My maiden aunts, who rode behind, would sometimes weep and say, "For blitzen‘s sake, can you not find some traveled road toâ€"day? Why do you hunt secluded lanes and through lone pastures go? Drive through the town where other wains are weaving to and fro. "Shut up," I said, in accents meek, while hitting seven knots; "day after day, week after week, I‘ll seek the lonesome spots.

There are several organized . troupes of monkeys that travel about the country and perform in the small temples of the towns that they stop| at. My bhead boy, or butler, came one ; day to tell me that such a troupe was . performing in the town of X and asked whether I would not like to go and see tht spectacle. I said I wou‘d4 and sent him to take a box; then I invited the small Japanese children of our con.pound to come with me; they were the head boy‘s threeâ€"yearâ€"old daughter, | 'my maid‘s tenâ€"yearâ€"old daughter, the cook‘s son and a young person of about ten years who was the bosom friend of my maid‘s daughter and who came and played sedately with her every day. The head boy came too, to "explain," as he said. He was a clever, educated man, my help, my counselor and my comfort, but he never overâ€" came the letter "I." He brought one of our chairs for. me to sit on, as I had not yet mastered the knack of squatâ€" ting for hours on the flattest of flat cushions. The temple was a modest affair; part of the courtyard had been coverâ€" ed with matting, and two pens had been raised a little above the ground to serve as boxes. My chair, which since I was the only European, was the only one, towered above the other seats. In front of me in a brightlyâ€" clad, wellâ€" behaved row sat the four childran; the butler squatted beside and with an elaborate wig decorated with pins and fiowers. Then came the monkey that played the part of the elderly father; he was disguised as a common boatman. The story of the play was this: At beautiful courl lady wishes to cross & ferty to meot her lover on the other side of the river, but the ferryman reâ€" fuses to take her. She implores him;. she casts herself at his feet; she weeps and stretches out her arms to him, and at last he consents to take her in his boat if she will give him one of the pins that adorn her headdress. She gives it to him with alacrity and then gets into his sampan and is rowâ€" ed across. On the other side she meets her lover, whom the ferryman, a rather incomprehensible person, promptly kills. After that unhappy incident she throws herself weeping on the dead body. The dramatic effect was somewhat marred by each monkey‘s being tied by the neck to its respective master, who by twitches and pulls showed what the monkey was to do. If an ocâ€" casional twitch was a little sharper than usual, the monkey would turn with a furlous look and say things to its owner. The lady especially was shortâ€"tempered and would jabber inâ€" sults to her man in the midst of the most harrowing scene. She went down on her knees, progtrated herself, wept in her long sleeves before the obdurâ€" ate ferryman, and when finally she handed him her head pin her wig came a little undone and for the rest of the performance remained rakishly set on one side of her head. The boatman, a stolid, elderly monkey, was much better tempered. While she was imâ€" ploring him he remained absorbed in a hunt for something under his coat, he would scratch himself in an absent way whenever his master jerked him to order. The rowing mcross . was splendid,! considering that it was done over solid matting without anyone‘s movâ€"| ing an inch. The lady sat huddled upt in the boat and kept a bright angry eye on the master. The lover was shy ‘ â€"lovers often areâ€"and hung back when he had to come forward with a lantern, which seemed to trouble him a good deal. He wished the killing business over as soon as possibleâ€"so much was plainâ€"and jJabbered wildly at his keeper before the tragedy and at his ladylove when she flung herself weeping on his body. Meanwhile the sampan man was busy investigating the results of his scratching. The death of the lover ended the first play. The second began with a general display of the actors, of whom there were seven in all. The three In Quaint Japan who had acted in the first play were: evidently the stars; the others had only secondary roles. All of them, inâ€"| cluding the lady, appeared as warriors : clad in armor and riding dogs,. After making the round of the stage, they engaged in a fight and charged at one another. The dogs were goodâ€"temporâ€" ed and obliging; they wagged their tails the whole time, but they must have been pretty warm under the velâ€" vet saddles on which the monkeys sat. The monkeys looked very comfortable, especially one that, holding an open fan in his paw and looking on, acted as a kind of umpire. I thought I reâ€" cognized the lover in the preceding play, but costumes change monkeys as well as people a good deal. The sedateness of my young guests had been wearing out gradually, and by the time of the second play they woere enjoying themselves tremendâ€" ously. An accommodating sweet stuif seller had hoisted his wares toward , us, and I had bought a quantity of tink and white sugar butterflies, The children appreciated them very much. But during the last performance some mischlevous imp tempted one of our: party to throw some of them on the : stage. The effect was magical, Dog horses forgot their offlcial prance and jumped about nimbly to pick up the sweets; monkey soldiers scrambled off their steeds and, flinging aside their swords, ran about on all fours, entirely forgetful of everything except to stuff as many butterflies as possible into their cheeks. The scrimmage was ‘splendid; they fought with thorough earnestness over each piece, and the spectators thoroughly enjoyed themâ€" selves. I engaged the troupe to come to my compound the next day to be photoâ€" graphedâ€"a thing thiff proved to be more dificult than I bad imagined, for the lover had taken a violent dislike to me and would stealthily watch for an opportunity for biting.
