A YOUNG ACTRESS who had played success
fully in the lesser theatres of Paris applied
for an engagement at one of the first-class
houses. The manager, who was in want of
pretty girls, was about to accept of her SER

must also engage my mother in the wardrobe
department" ''Oh," said the mana ger plain
lively, lis that absolutely necessary" ''Of

only one in all Paris who knows how to throw
me my bouquets i'm the right way" That
