tact that the camp is going to be
located on these hills above the city
of Augusta would jump at the con
clusion that because the camp is
right here on the edge of the city
almost, it would be as hot as in a
city, but it is as pleasant out here
as one could wish to be In the sum

city.

For Making Country Life Attractive, Stimulate Interest in
Original En tertainment.
“The play’s the thing.” In its ef
forts tty make country life attractive
and the country school a center of vig
orous community life, the North Da
kota Agricultural College at Fargo, N.
P.. has established “The Little Country
Theater.” with the aim of stimulating
an interest in wholesome drama ami
original entertainment among people
living in the open country and villages.
The Little Country Theater is a
large playhouse put under a reducing
glass. It is just the size of an average
country town hall, having a seating ca
pacity of two hundred. The stage is
SO feet in width. 20 feet in depth, with
a proscenium opening of 10 feet in
height, and 15 feet in width. There
no boxes nor balconies. In the audi
torium proper the decorations are
plain and simple. The color scheme is
green and gold, the gold predominat
ing. Three beams finished in golden
oak cross the mansard ceiling, the
beams projecting down several feet on
each side wall, from which frosted
light bowls and globes are suspended
by brass log chains, the indirect light
ing giving a soft ami subdued tone to
the whole theater. The eight largo
windows are Hung with tasty green
draperies. The curtain is a tree shade
green velour. The birch-stained seats
are broad and not crowded together.
The scenery is painted in plain colors.
It has a certain realism about it. The
doors are wooden doors, the windows
have real glass in them. Simplicity
London Social Practices Are Constantly
Changing—Ball Etiquette is Amusing.
“Ask and Be Asked/'
London. —Loudon social practices
are constantly changing these years.
There are as many new turns in a
year now as in two decades in the
good old days of Queen Victoria—
may they never return. I am some
what amused by hall etiquette (or
rather practice) of today.
Hostesses this year don’t ask any
body to halls except' those who give
balls. "Ask and lie asked’ is the
motto.
And so you ask everyone who lias
has ever asked you. As one of the
disagreeable results charming girls
languish through a season without a
single dance invitation that amounts
to anything—unless they are closely
related to dance hostesses. Those
who are “in the swim” are asked and
asked until they are heartily tired of
balldom.
Perhaps expense influences ball
practice a little. Each invitation
nowadays represents a considerable
outlay. Then, too, you are likely to
have more guest 3 than you bargain
for, and to be surprised when your
reckoning comes in from the hotel
company.
For instance, my wife invites three
hundred guests. Four hundred suc

New York.—With the three America's
cup defense yachts, Resolute, Vamtle
and Defiance, engaged in almost daily
test races and Sir Thomas Upton’s chal
lenger Shamrock IV, preparing to sail for
America, Interest in the coming interna
tional races for (lie famous yacht trophy
is increasing rapidly. The status and
racing ability of the three America
sloops are fairly well established but the
full possibilities of the Nicholson 75
fooler will sot be known until she ran

description as cabled from England,
points |t> a yacht which departs from

Designer Nichols',n with ills rad ial In

Shamrock IV is awaited on this side of
the Atlantic, anil raises the question
again as to whether the cup committee
will permit the challenger to he toweil at
nnv time during the long ocean voyage
which is to be soon undertaken.
Same Question.
The same question is agitating Eng
lish yachting circles and there ts much
d'seuss on InTiOth clubs and public prints
regarding this important angle of the
cup contest. Tlie Impression prevails
abroad that the New York Club commit
tee is opposed to granting permission to
tow’ and while the matter Is under dis
cussion neither the challenging or de
fending clubs will state their official at
titude In the matter. Basing their
opinions on the assumption that such per
nrssinn will be granted reluctantly, If nt
all. tiie English yachtsman and writer
bolds that the restriction Is one that
handicaps the challenger. That there
[lr c two sides to the controversy, how
ever. ts shown In the following article
by a well-known English yachting au
thority:
"It is very evident that considerable
misconception exists In many quarters
in regard to the efficacy of towing
Dtir'ng tlie time that the matter was in
doubt comment clearly showed that
there existed a widespread belief that
the handicap which a vessel Incurs in
crossing ihe Atlantic would be very ma
terially reduced If allowed to tow. This
la altogether wrong. The one advant
age of towing Is that, In case of light
winds, and calms the time occupied on
the passage la shortened. It is quite
erroneous to suppose that the permis
sion to tow enables a vessel to be more
lightly constructed. To begin with, the
permission only applies to calm weather
and no one responsible for the vessel
wottld desire to tow when there is any
thing of a breeze I’nder certain con
ditions n vessel of light construction is
submitted to grealer strain In tow ng
than In Haling, and |t Is by no means a
comfortable mentis of progression ex
cepting in fine weather.
The Reason.
"The reason for tips Is that In towing
It Is not one continuous strain. It Is
absolutely necessary to li.ive a very long
tow-line, otherwise there would be the
probability of the vessel In tow rutting
up on the tug. I‘rogress then Is noth
ing more than a setles of Jerks. When
the hawser tautens the vessel receives n
sudden Impetus which carries Iter along
faster than her tug Is traveling. The
hawser then slackens until the vessel
loses her momentum, when It tautens
again, and so the towing proceeds. With
the slightest swell on matters are toads
much worse and to attempt, to to.v a
vessel against a head set Is lo submit
her to anttuch more serious buffeting
than she would receive In sailing.
"Mr N ' liolsop. speaking on the sub
ject. said the question of towing had not
troubled him at ajl Any vessel so weak
l\ constructed as to be unable to make
the passage under sail would stand a
poor ehariee of arriving on the other side
In tow.”
Another feature of the cup rules
which does not appeal to the average
marks everything, both on and off the
stage. It is a model theater for the
open country or small village.
One of the unique features in con
nection with tho Little Country Thea
ter is the Coffee Tower. It is just to
the right of the lower end of the stage.
It, too, is plain and simple. Coffee and
cakes will be served occasionally to
patrons of the theater.
The object of the l.ittle Country
Theater ts to produce such plays as
can he easily staged in a country
school, tiie basement of a country
church. In the sitting room of a farm
home, in the village hall, or any place
where country people ajssemhlc for re
creation.
ICmphasis will be laid on the one-ace
play. Scenes from the best European
and American playwrights will be tried
out In the Little Country Theater, and
if found suitable will be recommended
to the local communities. The Little
Country Theater will tost tho different
samples of comedy, drama and other
forms of entertainment by giving all
eligible students, who come from every
section of the state and the northwest,
an opportunity to appear in at least
one play a year, and to receive train
ing in tho direction, or the getting up,
of a, play. If the play or entertainment
proves satisfactory, people residing in
the rural districts will lie given knowl
edge of the fact. By this method, tho
Little Country Theater ts expected to
become a. vital farce in socializing the

The big ball in a private house is
differ; ut. But very few big affairs
are given exoeut in hotels. The latge
hotel is becoming more and more in
to fashion for reception after smart
weddings, too.
There is so little sentiment or pri
vacy about the modern marriage feast
that the bride of today seems not lo
have (he slightest objection to push
ing her way across the crimson carpet
outside a huge hotel In Kiiightsbridge
or piecadiliy and up to the steps of a
lounge possibly crowded with stran
gers, and holding her reception in all
the banality of an hotel saloon.
There is, of course, little individ

functions, the presents are shown in
n smaller room, and the usual wed
