Consequently the volumes were some

The occupants of the other end of the

Paul was saying, "Miss More, pardon

| English ladies of fashion go through
the penance of morning calls with COM
mendable fortitude. An amusing story
is told. on this subject. Lady B.
was living in part of Scotland where
country houses lie scattered at con
siderable distance from one another, and
the rot1nd of visits she had marked out
for herself would occupy whole day.
To this plan her daughters objected, al
leging that fasting for so many hours
always made them ILL., She informed
them that she had guarded against that
by planning to reach Castle T at
luncheon time. So they started, called
on two or three " friends" with whom
they exchanged the usual conventional
commonplaces, and arrived at Castle
Tt exactly at the calculated hour.
Mrs. T. was delighted to see them,
and entered on ON animated converse
ton, but spoke no word of luncheon.
The visitors felt the pangs Of hunger SO
acutely that they could scarcely bear
their part in the lively talk, and eagerly
awaited the expected invitation. HALF

and took leave of her hostess. But in
doing so she betrayed, to Mrs. T. s
establishment and the intense delight of
her daughters, the subject of her secret
thoughts, "Good-by," she said, dear

on her part, made a full confession, and

A Woman Who Can Dress Quickly.
A lady writes from behind the scenes:
was just realizing that they were
planned to effect lightning change of
costume when the actress herself
| bounced in. She was warm from her
| exertion on the stage, but not bit fur
ried. She did not lose single moment,
though she chatted glibly with me all
the while. a424e s5>Ig - ~. sod Dbl
First, she picked UP the gloves and
began to put them On: At the sama
time the maid unlocked her dress from
top to bottom with quick, deft fingers
| and stripped off the whole garment in a
twinkling. The pretty creature stood
before me in her white clothes laughing
| at my expression of surprise at the
| rapid disrobement. She seated herself
and extended her feet for the maid to
take off her shoes and stockings. The
latter, being stripped down over the
| feet in d Jify, did not disclose the naked
flesh, but deliberately clicked silk hose,
| SO that the fresh pair were already on.
| BY the time the slippers ,wtre on, the
actress had got the last button of her
| glove in its button-hole. A minute and
a half had elapsed. Both had not only
worked with great rapidity, but without
any false motions or vexation of any
sort. Then the maid took off several
puffs and bow from her mistress head
her hair in the last act having been
simply dressed-and put on the more
/ elaborate blonde wig, fastening it in
place with hair-pins, and setting lock
here and there into place. Next, the
actress stood up, and the maid swiftly
put her into the dress that had lain on
the chair. Every part of it fell ad-
mirably into place, the drapery across
the front hiding the junction, and plen-
| tiful hooks and eyes holding alt to-
| gether. Standing before ful1-length
mirror she finally surveyed herself crit
ically, at just three minutes and a half
from the start, and then she was ready
