be WA arrested on charge of bigamy, ami he re-
piled that she was guilty of the same Offense.
On Saturday, Miss Hughes or Mrs. Haish sang
as usual the Globe theatre matinee. She is
very plump, rather pretty, dresses goTgeously,
and sings IL. She was recalled three times,
and the fourth song Tecited the varied q eat
ment of sVt ethe arts and wives-hoR the sugar
OF lover i turned to the vinegar OF husband.
The audience hkened the story Of the song TO
the singers experience, ana laughed and APP
plaLded uprOaTiOusy. The beautiful singer
laughed too, and stopped singing TO say, eyes,
that's about the actual experience. Before
marriage he buys the boxes a. your benefit
throws flowers ana JeweiTy at you, and sends his
carriage TO take you to the theatre and away
again. q, he's just too attentive for anything;
and so jealOus-O, myi After every perform
ance be wants 10 know how many letters you've
got, ana what's in them. and how many fellows
looked askew az you in the audience"
The cant atTice was somewhat flushed by this
time, and seemed rather angry than Factions.
1t was whispered that HaIgh was in the audi
ence, and every bofy tried to pick him out
When the laughter and applause had ceased
again she added, "Ive told YOU how il is be-
fore narTiage-too sweet for anything. But
afterwsrd it IL entirely different. He doesn't
throw jewelry and flowers at you-be throws
cTockery, and chairs, and tables. ., these are
truths, ladies. and there is somebody here that
Knows il as well a. do"
The song was then concluded, and the angry
singer retired under the uproarOus applause OF
the gallery boys and the laughter Of the rest Of
the aud ence.-N. I. Sun, 2St5.
