Upon the walls hung a large pastel sketch of "Old Uncle Remus playing his and a similar sketch showing a bright-eyed darkey boy whose sole oocu pation consisted of his endeavor to devour a mammoth watermelon. Many other appropriate pictures of Southern scenes and small Images of darkles were used in the decorations.

Many Southern plantation songs were sung by those present and new and navel games were introduced and enjoyed, and the guests were profuse in their applause of the Misses Mildred Eldard and Ida Bin-son, both of whom exhibited their marvelous powers of elocution In reciting and enacting various poems and sketches dealing with Southern plantation subjects.

This gentleman, whose iden tity later in th evening proved to be that of Mr. Frederick Schutte, of 741 McDonough street, the amateur minstrel impersonator, did certainly succeed in evoking the laughter and persistent ap plause of his audience. Uncle Rasmus was attired in a bright green swallow-tail suit and he wore a very large and loud red neok-tie and light sombrero, and carried an immense hickory cane.

Amid these gay colors of apparel Uncle Rasmus' Jet black face, large white eye-bolls and big Juicy red lips and white teeth stood out in strong contrast Although the night was warm. Uncle Rasmus kept everyone in an uproar of laughter for fully half an hour, during which time he related many amusing in. cldents, cracked Jokes and sang some original darkey songs, concluding with his famous song VDown Where the Watermelon Grows." Bo well did Unole Rasmus perform his part and so accurately did impersonate the character which he assumed that none of the guests Vera able to discover his identity until Mr. Schutte had changed his garments, scrubbed his face, and was again Introduced.

Pictures of faoes are better If taken In a light less strong than the An extreme strong light is uncomfortable to the eyes, causing a strained and pinched expression and an endeavor to avoid the light, which make the face wok dark against the balance of the picture. Large hats, sheas or heavy foliage, just above the persons, should -be avoided. The- background should be selected to form a contrast to the figures, be dark for light clothe and vice The grouping must be so a to have th smallest person in front and at ends, -the tallest ones in center and in rear, '(The camera should not gin adds to the plqtum and also avoids too Close to, the group as a am.au mar" cutting off part of the outer persons. When making time exposure, the use a smaller stop is advisable as it makes th picture 1 sharper and gives better depth' also, allowing tor slight error in fooueing as to distance.

It was at the National Librarian Con vention, held last year at LakS George, while serving as one of the three delegates selected from all over the United States to represent the children' work department, tnat Miss Cutter became ao qualnted with Mr. Doubleday, of Double- day, Page 4k and he was the first publisher to contribute to the library which Is now on its -way, to Labrador.

His worthy was followed by all the publishers to whom application for assistance was made, and to these Miss Cutter desires to express her sincere (ra tification appreciation. It is the purpose ot Miss Cutter to take charge of the library when estab lished in the St, Anthony orphanage, but she hopes that by the time she leaves the institution, some of the -older girls will be able to take her place. 1 To this end she will found a librarian's class for such student as have the necessary Pr llmlnary education.

Theee elm are in the two inner row ok th Parkway extending from Washington avenue to Buffalo avenue, and are the finest trees on the entire Parkway, Commissioner this mat ter up with the Public Service Commis sion some weeks Since then he has bad the trees and 'their root system examined by tree experts of national repu tatlon, such aa Mr. Henry Hicks of West-bury and Professor Tourney, Director of the Forest School of Tale University- Ai a result of these Investigations, the 'offl- dial view of the department is clearly set forth In the annexed report made to Commissioner Ingersoil by -Professor This portion ot the report designated as plan No, 2 seems most likely to prove practicable. The Park Department Is now waiting to bear from the Public Service Commission aa to the engineering features involved. "Report on the preservation of two rows of trees in Eastern Parkway, N.

in the construction ot the proposed subway; y): "The two Innermost rows of elm trees in Eastern Parkway are within approximately five feet of the excavation neces sary for the proposed subway. These two rows of trees are in middle life and for the most part in talr condition, al though the growth Is slow because of the adverse conditions as to soil fertility and soli moisture under which they are growing. A lew of the trees show dead limb at the tops ot th crowns and are already on the decline, due chiefly to ad verse soil condKlona Under proper soil treatment and protection of the from infects there is no Inherent reason why these rows ot trees should not con tinue, in the main, in good condition for city tree for a half century longer. "In the construction of the proposed subway there are three courses that can be pursued in reference to the two rows df trees. Lower the subway so Chat in no part of Its course It Is within six feet of the surface, and by suitable construction methods do not disturb the soil with in ten feet of the boles of the trees, as shown the appended sketch (Fig.

1). This method of treatment would cause the least disturbance to the trees, and, if properly executed, they would show no ill effects from the construction of the ubway. Practically all the roots are in the six feet ot upper soil and no roots of Importance are likely to extend beyond the limits of ten -feet from the boles of the trees under the pavement Even were it necessary at th stations to excavate under the tree at a depth, below six feet from the surface, In my opinion they would not suffer from the excava tion, were the surface Soil loosened, fertilized and kept properly If it i found necessary, at the stations to ex cavate under -the, trees, at less than six feet from the surface, I should recommend their removal, as the adverse con ditions due to shallow soil and disturb- ance in the construction of die subway would likely cause them to deteriorate rapidly and probably necessitate the re moval of many of them and give the remainder a ragged and poor appearance. Even were it deemed practical to follow this method of the subway below the present proposed level, it would be desirable to loosen the soil between the tree and at the aide ot th rows away, from the proposed subway. The loosened soil should then he heavily fertilized with organic manures and watered at necessary intervals during the dry season.

"1 The two rows of trees can be removed in their entirety before the excavation begins. This would entail less cost in the construction of th subway, as It would not necessitate lowering it be low the proposed level of not less than tour feet from the surface and less attention would have to be given to the prevention of the disturbance of the soil of the sidewalks of the excavation. If tht were done, after the completion of the subway, small trees of uniform size could be, planted or the space left Open. On Important advantage of discarding the two lines of present trees and reestablishing others by planting Is in the uniformity that would be attained. The saorlfloe, however, of these two rows of well-grown elms would be a great loss to th city, and personally I believe they can be saved, except where the station occur, by following out the method proposed under paragraph 8.

"8. This plan does hot contemplate lowering the subway and the excavation Is to be made on th proposed line ap proximately five feet from the boles of the trees, a shown in the appended sketch (Fig. 11). The effect of the excavation will be the removal, of from one-third to one-fifth ot the root, system of the trees and the exposure of the soil to abnormal drying out If nothing were done to overcome these bad effects, in my opinion it would be best to remove the trees because of their rapid decline, whloh is sure to follow. If.

however, the soil is suitably treated, I see no reason why the trees cannot be made to steadily Improve even with th loss of part of th root system. If this plan is followed out Which, oh the whole, I believe to be the most practical one; the following should be fully In the excavating, the soli, should not be disturbed within the four or Ave feet from the boles Of th trees, 1. the curbing should be put in place with the least possible disturbance of the soli of the side wall. If It 1 found neces sary to out back two or tour feet or to the very base of the boles, I do not believe it is worth while to try to save the trees. 1 -'v- The soil should be thoroughly loosened and cultivated between the tree and at least for a distance of ten feet from the line of tree toward th curb.

It should be heavily fertilized with well-rotted organic manure, and facilities arranged for keeping th soil in the best moisture conditions by watering. "If this procedure 1 followed out I sea no reason why there should be the loss, of a single tree. I further believe that they would chow Increased growth over that of the present time. This, however, doe not apply to th tree In the two lines where th 'Station occur and where the excavations must sxtend to or even beyond the tine of trees, If the excavation at the stations is within two and a half feet of the boles off the trees, -1 believe that, efforts should be made to save them, so a to keep the lines as nearly complete as possible. It less than two and a half feet it is in my opinion net best to try to save them.

"As a summary of this report, it Is my opinion that efforts should be made to Iretaln the treos under the plah proposed I mdefatlsrable worker ani has been' re- sponsible -tor much of the modernizing ty and economising that has been effected at the hospital within the last few years.
