operetta.*The Three Musketeers, a Florenz Ziegfeld operetta, has all the impedimenta of its kind; there are frequent pretty songs, enormous numbers of beautiful girls with too many clothes on, flocks of toe dancers who caper around the stage in wide skirts and bonnets. Equipped with dusters, they would look as if they had just jumped out of a can of glorified Dutch Cleanser. There is also a plot about Messrs. D'Artagnan, Athos, Aramis, and Porthos; they are serving the King of France to the best of their ability and making love to ladies. D'Artagnan himself...

...spindling little man, whose pathetic shanks, shrunken torso and desiccated arms, contrast oddly with the twinkling zest of his round impish face, the shrewd pucker of his mobile mouth; they picture Peet as his twin, in all respects identical. For such are the eloquent small figures that have long capered in the advertising columns of theatre programs and daily newspapers, accompanied by a jest, a clothing suggestion and the name of the firm. Last week they began to caper in the press of Boston, informing Bostonians that the Rogers Peet Co. has just purchased the entire capital stock of Macullar...

On Christmas day, in grey cathedral closes, in the belfries of State Houses, many bells will sound that are too heavy to be swayed by any bellringers, no matter how much they caper or warm their fingers. Biggest of all was the great bell of Moscow, cast around 1734, now used as the dome of a chapel. Other big bells are those of Burma, weight, 260,000 Ib.; Peking, 130,000 Ib.; House of Parliament, London, 30,000 Ib.; Montreal Cathedral, 28,560 Ib.; Notre...
