Act I. A great fete is being held in honor of the coming of age of the- Emperor’s daughter, Princess Chrysanthemum. She is loved by Prince So-True and returns his affections, but he has a rival in the person of Prince So-Sli, who seeks the aid of the Wizard Cat, who catries off the Princess Chrysanthe- mum to the cave of Inky Night, leaving the Emperor and Prince So-Tru distracted at her strange disappearance. Act II. Princess Chrysanthemum, imprisoned in cav,. of Inky Night, with her magic ring summons the Fairy Moonbeam, who is about to help her when she drops ■ the ring and canriot find it. Fairy Moonbeam disappears at the loss of the ring, and the unhappy Princess is left to bewail her fate. Prince So-Tru manages to obtain entrance to the cave and finds the ring, which at once causes Fairy Moonbeam to return and aid him. At this moment the Emperor arrives with his attendants and takes Saucer Eyes prisoner, bearing him in triumph to his palace. Act III. Threatened with torture, Saucer Eyes con- fesses complicity of Prince So-Sli, whom the Emperor orders to instant execution. This is, however, frustrated by the appearance of Princess Chrysanthemum, accompanied by- Prince So-Tru and Fairy Moonbeam with her band. The Emperor Saucer Eyes and So-Sli at the Princess’ request, and gives her hand in marriage to Prince So-Tru, thus bringing everything to a happy con- clusion. Here is a New Recipe. Try It. How to ' Preserve a Husband— Be careful in your selection. Do not choose too young and take only- such as have been reared in good, moral atmosphere. Some insist on keeping them in pickle, while others keep them in soft water. This only makes them sour, hard and sometimes bitter. Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good by gar- nishing them with patience, well sweetened with smiles and flavored with kisses to taste. Then wrap them in a mantle of charity, keep warm with a steady fire of domestic devo- tion and serve with peaches and cream. When thus prepared they will keep for years. —From the Nor’easter. The superintendent was examining the school. “Who wrote Hamlet?” he asked. A very frightened little boy rose and said, “Please, sir, I didn’t.” ( 24 )
