nts, white hose, reaching to the knee, with a band
of colored ribbon, and wide lace attached by a large paste pin at the
top, low shoes with buckles, single-breasted vest left unbuttoned,
showing a white shirt underneath. A lady's pink or red sack will on
an emergency answer for a coat. A lady's velvet cape should be thrown
carelessly over the shoulder. The wristbands of the shirt bound with
wide lace, and a wide lace collar worn around the neck. The head
covered with a low-crowned Kossuth hat, ornamented with a gilt band,
and white plume, which is fastened to the hat with a large and
brilliant paste pin. Both of these costumes can be arranged at short
notice, and the tableau would be suitable for home entertainment. A
guitar, played behind the scenes, will answer for the music. The light
must be of medium brightness, and come from either side of the stage.

ROGER WILLIAMS PREACHING TO THE INDIANS.

"Gitche Manito the Mighty,
The Great Spirit, the Creator,
Sends them hither on his errand,

Let us welcome, then, the strangers,
Hail them as our friends and brothers,

Give them when they come to see us."

homes. This was the first settlement of Providence. Williams was
kindly treated by the Indians, who seemed pleased at his arrival among
them. Every Sabbath he would go into the village and preach to them.
The scene in this tableau represents him standing before a wigwam with
his Bible in hand, explaining the Holy Scriptures to a group of
savages who are gathered about him. A few spruce trees should be
placed in the background of the picture, a fire kindled in the centre
of the stage, which can be placed in an iron furnace, and surrounded
with stones. The floor must be covered with white cloth. Logs and
branches of trees should be scattered around the stage. At the left of
the stage is the wigwam, formed with rough poles, covered with
light-brown
