The Father Of an Angel.

New Haven Conn., Register.l
A very humorous episode occurred
not long since in Jarman's book store
in this city, in which Willie Edouin.
the funny comedian, and bookseller
having the appearance of an excellent
exhorter were involved. Edouin, al
though a very attractive companion.
lacks physical beauty. His wife is
the accomplished and beautiful Alice
Atherton, of the stage. Their two
little girls inherited their mothers
beauty and also show indications of
their fathers ability. The elder, lit
tie May, has a stage record as Jenny
Wren" in Babes in the Wood, and
two years ago, when but two years and
a half of age, was photographed as a
cherub Many thousand copies of tn e
photographs were sold. No name but
that of Angela was attached to it, and
many persons believed it to be an
ideal picture and a copy from an old
painting.
While Edouin was in this city he
saw one of these pictures in a book
sellers window, and entering, asked
with pardonable pride for that pic
ture of my child" The bookseller
was astonished, but Edouin quietly
pointed out the photograph and re-
peated his request, adding that he
was the father of the original. This
insistance upon what seemed to be
blasphemy was openly characterized
as such by the mild hammered gentle
man behind the counter, who at once
proceeded to enlighten Edouin's igno-
rance by informing him that the pic
ture was typical representation of
an angel. Mr.. Edouin agreed with
all his heart in the booksellers def
milton of the picture, but at the same
time maintained quietly, but with ex-
treme confidence, that he was its fa-
ther. This led to an exhortation as
to the final disposition of scoffers, af-
ter delivering which the angry pro-
prietor went to the lower part Of the
store. The baffled comedian was
obliged to retire without getting
copy of his child's picture. He was
very indignant at the treatment he
had received, mainly because his
word was doubted, but also because
his personal appearance did not suf-
fciently support his original assertion
that he was the father of an angel.
