Henri, Marquis of Corneville, who hasbeen in exile since childhood, returnsto his ancestral home on the day of thogreat annual fair in the village that

its name from his chateau.In the first act tho curtain rises on

an assemblage of village gossips uiscussing scandal and small talk. "Setpolette," the village good for-notbiu-

is the topio of conversation. Shecomes in just in time to turn the tableson them and change their taunts to ex-

pressions of rage. Gaspard, an old miser, wishes to marry his niece, "Ger- -

maine, to the Bailli, the magistrate ofthe district. But this does not suitGermaine, nor a young fishermannamed "Jean Grenicheaux," who pretends that he has saved her fromdrowning. To escape from the powerof old Gaspard, Germaine takes advantage of tbe privileges of the fair, andbecomes a servant of the marquis.Her example is followed by Grenicheaux and Serpolette.

The second act is taken up with tbesupernatural visitors who have madethe castle so long an object of dread.Henri determines to find out tho realcharacter of these ghostly appearancesand discovers that it is all the work oftho old miser, Gaspard, who has concealed his treasures in the chateau.The discovery drives Gaspard crazy.

The third act represents the grandfete given in honor of the return ofHenri to his ancestral home. Serpo- -

lette arrives as a marchioness, as somepapers found in tbe chateau indicatethat she is the lost heiress. The miser,however, recovers his reason and showsthat Germaine is the true marchioness,bringing the romantic story to a close.

Great care has been taken by Messrs.Webster and Allen in the arrangementof the following

How To KnJoyA llome.Fullv one-hal- f of the eniovment of

every person' life depends upon theirhome and It Is the nrst duty or a House-wife to make home attractive and pleasant no matter how humble or how elegant your home may be. If everythingis kept neat and made pleasant the wholefamily will enjoy It. The meals especially should receive considerable attention. Feed your family upoa gooawholesome food and good health and anunlovable home will result. Coffee hasbut little if any nourishment and Is veryInjurious to gooa neaita. we rf com-mend to all good housekeepers to substitute a good cereal drink in the placeof coffee. Try Golden Nectar, It agreeswith old and young and is the best tablebaverage on the market. You will soonenjoy it better than you ever did coffee.It makes you fat and healthful and givesgrowing children the nourishment theyso much need. Golden Nectar is forsale by all leading grocers.
