George Washington conldn't pop the
question any more than he could tell
lie. He had several love affairs, but his
Iiffidence prevented him from coming

deiph1a Bulletin, who cling to him in a
melner that suggests the love-sick
maidens. He has the manners of a
very young man toward these devoted
women though in one respect he enjoys

and kisses it. There is deal more
Kissing done here than one sees in an
American drawing-room, nearly all the
German ladies kissing the hands ofWag-
ner and List at greeting.

Drury Lane Theater, London. Charles
Lauri, the pantomirnist, made up as e
poodle, runs entirely round the theater

shaken by the future king of England
amid the hearty laughter and cheers of
the audience, especially the pit and the
gallery. crammed with the denizens of
