BLANCHE AND HER JIMMY.

ley at q New York Theatre.

New York Tribune, July 10.
81 the Pllou Theatre on Saturday night there
wac II pair that attracted some attention.
They sat on the north side of the no use, mid.
way between tine alslcs, about eight rows back
from the footllghts. There was nothing par.
tlcuarly striking about them. The man was
rnther insignificant In appearance. Hewas
slight, "a little understood, with u pale face
and Roman nose. He was dressed neatly
IN o'TS SServ WIN wd modest sSrs scarf the
pin ana plain gold chain Under tho
seat he occupied lay a small straw hat On.
circled by plain black band. The woman
was petty, with " very graceful figure. Her
dress was In excellent taste. II was black, and
quietly but fashionably made. Her hat was II
small round one, black and ornamented with
two or three feathers of dark color. She
wore little or no iewelry. In her
hands, which were ungloyed, she car.
ricd IL blue and white feather fan.
The pair enjoyed the performance. They
had evidently mover seen "pationce" before.
They were Intelligent enough to appreciate
Mr.. GIlberts Jokes, and they laughed at all Of
them as II they had never heard them. Yet
their ninth was never bOlsterous; IL was
characterized by the same good taste as their
dress. The two were not profuse In their Mt.
tentions to each other, although the man
would occasionally lean over toward his com.
papion in an afrectlonatc manner. They were
evidently on the best of terms, but their bear.
Ing toward each other was rather tina, OF II
married couple than of two lovers.
When the last song had been sung AMI the
curtain had fallen the couple left the theatre
Win the rest of the audience. Tho woman
did not take her companions arm ut first. At
the door he stopped and lighted cigarette.
They then turned and walked down Broadway
through the crowd. At Twenty sevonth street
several painted women and loud.talklng men
Unexpectedly brushed against the woman.
She shrank ins,inctlvely from thom, and took
her companion's arm as II for protection.
