PLAY IS COMING ; [Continued From First J'age.] i Lancaster, In the very midst of tlie i "Pennsylvania Dutch," by which f term is meant that class of Pennsyl- ' vania Germans vyho are uncultured ' and uneducated, and who seldom, if ever read a newspaper. Mrs. , Martin had ample opportunity to observe their ways and customs, and to become thoroughly saturated with their manner of expression. Their funny side always strikes every body and this fund of humor which the future famous authoress then ab- ' sorbed has given to her books the ' characteristic quality which renders ' them so charming. How She Started to Write "No matter how uninteresting peo ple are," said Mrs. Martin, "you can 1 always find something human in 1 them. And so 1 became absorbed in the 'Pennsylvania Dutch,' who are funny, but intensely interesting. But I would not have you think that all \ Pennsylvania Germans are of this ] class, from from it. "I find that in the dramatization of 1 Barnabetta I have to 'Dutch' the j manuscripts, because Mrs. Marian De- Forest, who dramatized 'Little Wo men' and has done the same for Barnabetta, does not tind it easy to adapt herself to the eccentricities of their provincialisms." When asked how she first came to select this particular field for her literary work, Mrs. Martin replied that she used to return from market and mimic some of those who at tended for the benefit of her family. They saw the posibilities in her and urged that she write up these people with whom she had been in contact Tor such a long time. And in that way site was pef suaded to write the books which have 'appealed in human Interest to the many book-lovers who have enjoyed Mrs. Martin's works. She "was always ambitious as a girl to write, and being j'oung and roman tic, wished to write of romance. The editor of the Ladies' Home Journal about that time wanted an article on the Mennonites, and requested Uhler Hensel, a prominent citizen of Lan caster to write them for him. Mrs. Martin was very iptimate with the Hensel family, and the opening was • given to her, which she seized with eagerness and determination. For weeks she boarded with different families and became familiar with them, und finally wrote two articles which were immediately printed. This was her start, and soon magazines all over the country were demanding articles on the "Pennsylvania Dutch" 1 and the craze became widespread. Finds She is Famous "Tillie, the Mennonlte Maid," ap- . peared about the time her first little boy was born and it was not until ' seventeen months later, on shipboard 1 bound for Europe that she was ] brought to a realization of the fame that had become hers. David Belasco 1 sent her telegrams, expressing a de- ' sire to allow him to have the book dramatized," but contracts held her 1 tied up. Barnabetta is the first of ] her books to be dramatized, but It promises to be a great success. It has 1 been found necessary to change the 1 story slightly to adapt the part of 1 the step-mother of Barnabetta to 1 Mrs. Minnie Madern Fiske, who will ' take the leading part in the produc- 1 tion of "Erstwhile Susan," to appear 1 in Harrisburg on January 5. i The first appearance will be in ! Syracuse on New Year's Day. Front < there the company will move to Al lentown, and then here, after which it 1 will be staged In New York City. 1 Mrs. Fiske, who is a charming actress, was tremendously taken with 1 the character of Barnabetta's steo- ' mother, which was taken by Mrs. Martin from real life. She happen ed to have been her first house-keeper and in the play is an old maid who is posing all the time and is terribly anxious to get married. She is ra tional but eccentric; and with the background of life among the "Penn sylvania Dutch" the part offers great possibilities for excellent comedy, which are capably realized by Mrs. Fiske. The Kaylor-Graybiil Wedding This Morning Miss Ada L. Graybill and H. H. Kay lor, of 21.14 Derrv street, were quietly married tills morning at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. J. H. Baugh man, of, 2121 Derry street. The cere mony was performed by the Rev. E. Victor Roland, pastor of the Re deemer Lutheran Church, and wit nessed by a few intimate friends. The bride who is a trained nurse is popular and held In high esteem by her many friends. The bridegroom is a successful businessman, formerly manager of the Imperial Novelty Store, Third and Cumberland streets, and now the proprietor of the Im perial Hardware Store at' 1202 North Third street. Immediately after the ceremony the couple left for an extended wedding trip, including Washington, D. C., Bal timore and other points of interest.

Some people enjoy cold weather, take pleasure in winter sports and the keen air calls the pink to their cheeks and the red to their lips. Others shrink from cold and turn blue at the least exposure to frosty air. The difference Is in the blood. red blood warms the body. Every long breath of pure cold air increases the oxygen it carries to every part of the system. Thin blood is unable to take up the life-sustaining oxygen. The body lacks nourishment and the suf ferer is always cold, takes a chill eas ily and is miserable all winter. Thin blood Is largely the sufferer's own fault. It results from neglect, because the blood can be built up. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills supply the ele ments that the blood needs to make it rich and red and to enable it to carry more oxygen. Building up the red portion of the blood is simple but because thin blood does not call attention to itself it is often neglected. Have you seriously considered taking a course of treatment with these blood-making pills? If you are in doubt write for information. Your own druggist sells Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills and the Dr. Wil liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., will send you a booklet "Building Up the Blood" free o"h request.—Ad vertisement.
