high appreciation of your rendltior
of the part of "Queena" the heroine
in the drama of that name, at th

days of the drama and the stasre
I, therefore, congratulate you. Wish
ing you a long and yet more brllli
ant career in your chosen profession.
I am yours very truly.

Watermelon Booth for a Summer
Fair.
The feature which scored the great
est success at a summer-resort fair
was a watermelon booth, the bright
invention of an artist sojourning a!
one of the hotels.
The booth was hung with featoons
of red and green tissue-paper and
lecorated with piccaninny heads cut
Irom black paper, with features paint
ed in water-color.
Big slices of watermelon af ten
cents a slice were served by one of
the ladies interested, blacked and
bandana-ed to represent a portly
Southern mammy. The "Watermillion,'
owing to the warm weather and the
novelty of it, took like the proverb
ial hot cakes. Woman's Home Com
