U will only coma into the public eye again In 191 when the first rumora of the great religioua apectacle of 130 begin to be beard and the Taaalon play committee mets and elects from among the Mmple villagera, the Chrlstua. the Cala phaa. the St. John, the Mary Magdalene, the thlevee. the prophets and all the other principles who take part tn the decennial celebration of the deliverance of the com munity from a plague of the middle ages. When the plans are formulated tor the Passion play of 19J) there will be many chanaea in the methods of management. for the Oberammergauerites have promised to profit by some of the unfortunate ex periences of i the last five months. It is probable that the contracts with tourists agencies, who controlled the booking ar rangements this year, will be materially modified In 1MB. Tor great has been the di satislaction. nut only on the part of visi tors, but among the inhabitants themselves who feel aggrieved at the luck of comfort with which the spectators have had to contend. This is the first season that the Oberanv mergau villagers have allowed agwules to make reservations for the Passion p4a . Heretofore all negotiations have been cun ducted with the villagers direct, but this year the prospective spectntor was per mitted to go to a tourist office In London ' or to branches in any of the great contl nentnl cltlcB, and ask that reservations be made. The tourist office, upon receiving advices from Oberammergau, supplied the applicant with a slip giving the name of the villager with whom he was to find accomodations In the little town nestling In a hollow among the hills, on the banks of the River Ammer. Getting off tha crowded trains from the city of Munich, the visitor, his slip In hand, ppplies at the tourist office at the realioad nation. There he was supplied wun credentials tx his Olierammergau host. Turning to leave the station he was ac costed' by one only one of a large number percentage of those who wltneel tha plays were American tourists who were ao- customed to applauding all stage perform ance of merit. Uut In the .vast ampt Ui eater at Oberammergau there waa no ap plause, even after the most tragic and mov ing scenes. The whole people seemed to be Imbued with the relity of the drama and the sincerity of those who watched was the best answer to the oft-repeted Question: "Are (he Oberammergau players sineereT" The great scene of the play Is, of course, the crucifixion. The player who Imperson ates the Christ, is suspended from the cross for from fifteen to twenty minutes. No thongs are visible. The body seems held on the cross by the nails which are painted on the hands and feet The flirur Is clad In flesh colored tights, with a white cloth about the loins, as seen In all paint ings of the crucifixion. The great shock of the scene comes when the Roman soldiers climb up to the crosses of the thieves and strike their limbs with stuffed clubs. The bodies crumple. As the soldiers approach the central cross a messenger arrives from the Pilate announcing Uiat the bones Of the Nazarene are not to be broken. Where upon a soldier seises a spear and moves toward the suspended figure. The average siH.ctator continues to look, because be feels that there wHl be only the semblance of a stroke. What is his horror when he sees the spear thrust into the side of the central figure. There Is a sudden fright ful spurt of blood and a gasp of suffering from the thousands of spectators. The scene Is terrify Ingly rtalletlc. The illusion la carried eut by having -concealed under the tlghU a small bag of red fluid Just over the heart. When this Is punctured theis Is the gush of "blood" which makes one reel that human life Is actually being taken. Another Impressive scene la ths one In which the Nazarene 'Is persecuted by the soldiers. Pea ted on a small stool and clad in a robe of royal rd, the Man Is scoffed at, spit upon and slapped by his tormentors. Then there Is brought . lorth the crown of thorns. It Is placed upon BIS head and four soldiers seise two long bars. They cross these over his bead and one at each end. they press the thorns down upon his brow. of long haired boya who stood silently at ( A ,lludder of pan Mll over the face nutft jur Jou. ass.

As a rule the women who are most popu-. lar ars the ones who have learnt to keep se.f In the background, says Home Cnac Haven't you sometimes come across ths woman, who, talks of, nothing but ber own personal affairs? As soon as another topic ia Introduced, her attention wanders, and she lets you see pretty plainly that she Is not interested. She isn't likely to be popular. Then thers Is the woman who is never happier than when she Is telling you all about her domestic trials and tribulations, bow naughty her children are, and what a great .deal she has to put up with. But this is not the way to become popular either. Most of us have troubles enough of our own, and do not want to hear too much about the worries of our neighbors. If you want to be really popular, self must be put in the background, and kept there. It is the woman who is ready to be Inter ested in anything and everything, and al ways willing to hold out' helping hand to anyone who needs It, srbOigeta the warmest welcome. So, if you t to be popular, learn first to be'imsYh.' and then teach yourself to be interested and cheerful wherever you are, and'"youv'wtil be well started on the road to popularity. Japanese women are slim and ssapely In middle and later life, when English women and thoee of other European nations are often stout and unwieldy. Why la this? is It not because Japanese-women alt on the floor when taking their meals and at other times when we in England use chairs?

When the answer was yes the boy quietly offered to take suit cases and hags, and trudging slowly ahead through the main street crowded with people, conducted the sightseer to his host's home. There one found spotlessly clean quarters which varied In size and comforts according to the price paid from 13.00 to a day. The rules of the vil lage were that the visitor must stay at least two days in the town, the night pre ceding and the night of the play.

The stage ts tn the open and the rain beats Into the facee of the spectators who are seated nearest the orchestra. The Oberammergau theater ushers allow no one to raise an umbrella during the per formance. If the rain Is uncomfortable the ouly recourse Is to leave the building. The actors are not deterred by deluges. Their costumes are of rich velvet silks and sat ins, but they have no thought for these. They come upon the stage apparently un conscious of all unfavorable weather con ditions. It frequently happened during the season just closed that rains and thunder storms came at what seemed to be most auspicious dramatic moments. On numer ous occasions during the crucifixion scene there would flash from the lowering clouds the vivid tongue of lightning which would illumine the deathlike pallor of the Chiistus and the boom of reverberating thunder as It echoed from mountain to mountain seemed as If the elements were tn lesgue with the simple peasants In giving Impres slvenesa to their performance.

As hs stood behind hts counter showing his wares a group of four or five spectators gathered at the window and began to stars at the man who, on the following day, waa to impersonate the Savior. He seemed to be more or less troubled for a few mo menta and then quietly asked one of his customers if he would object to drawing down the shades as "I do not Ilka for people to stare." Lang in his home Is a kindly, cordial host and greets the visitors with a warm handshake. He speaks excellent English, with scarcely an accent. During the last five months ths central figure of the town has been greatly oppressed, however, by the numerous visitors who have called with the sole purpose of shaking hands so they could "tell the folks at borne." ( Some criticism was voiced Uilsy year against the acting of the beautiful young Ottllle Zwlnk, daughter of Johann Zwtnk, who plays Judas. Frauleln Zwlnk was ths Virgin Mary, and it was urged In many quurters that an older woman and ons who had a wider experienced life would have realized the acting value of the part more fully. But the average spectator failed to take into consideration ons of ths tenets of the Oberammergau Passion play committee, that no married woman shall over taks the part of either of ths Marys. No wigs are permitted to be worn by ths Passion players and no makeup Is allowed. Those who hope to take part in ths perfor mance allow their hair to go unshorn for three years prior to the first presentation.
