Journalism and the theatrical profession"

very tender ties. Never yet was there .
newspaper man who did not down deep in
the secret recesses Of his heart cherish pas
sion for the stage; and not one in a thou
sand of them is there who has not sometime,
somewhere in his career-perhaps in the
awful solitude of his fifth floor, back attic,
six by nine apartment, where none could
watch his tortured muse-written play.
He becomes dramatic critic, and all the old
actors weighted with honors and wreathed
with laurel leaves, and the young ones with
great expectations, are scourged as they
never were before. They wonder; but
then they did not see this young man
during the long years previous to
his appointment as dramatic critic
and subsequent to the refusal Of his play
the pure child of his maiden fancy-pacing
the floor Of his room with tragic strides,
while his soul cried out for q pen-only
pen--that he might, through the mighty
press lay bare the foibles of actors and man.
ayers Finally. having secured the coveted
pen, he returns from the play boiling over
with Indignation. WHAT he cries, such rot
as this put on the stage, while my chaste and
classic drama lies dusty on the shelf! Can

How They Are Sometimes Worried
--Hard Folks TO Fit.
"The mere getting up and making of cos
tunes is but half the difficulty" said fem
mble modiste when spoken TO on the subject.
"Dressmaking is almost a diplomatic pro-
fession as well as an art. Some days, when
1 close up my work-rooms in the evening and
go home, l am completely prostrate1 by the
worries and annoyanccs Of the day. do not
mind the work so much; it is my business,
and like it. II is the whims and caprices
of my customers that are 50 hard to bear
and that cause me 50 many unnecessary anx-
ieties. q. ~
al often send out a dress that. has been
tried on not less than six times 1t must fit
skin-tight, without n wrinkle; that every
one insists upon nowadays, and after have
it SO fitted and there is not wrinkle to be
seen ladies will stand before the glass and go
through a regular set of calisthenic exercises.
1T pinches here, it pulls there they will say.
They want TO he able to put on their hat, 10
adjust their hair, toacarry their iarasols, and
after they have gone through all these and
all other possible motions and stretched the
dress all out of shape, which, in its simply
basted condition, it is very easy TO do they
will say: There Mrs. -; there is a
wrinkle; please take it out Then, after
the dress is sent home, and it has been worn
some time, it is often sent back with the
complaint that it has stretched all out Of
shape, and will l please to take it up. And
then they will tell me 1 am the best fit
ter in Baltimore. 1 pity the worst then"
"Are very stout people the most difficult to
fit, or very angular ones:" was asked.
"Well, do not know. They are all hard to
fit, from that high up" showing an altitude
from the floor that one might suppose to be
the stature of child. "The most whimsical
and arbitrary are young girls in society.
They are very fastidious about their personal
appearance, and it is almost impossible &c
please them. And then. they never know
what they want. They will change the style
of dress three or four times before it is
completed. There are two kinds of stout
people-thosc who have small bones and are
naturally stout, and those who have had an
gular, bony frames and have become stout.
With these latter the bones will stick out, no
matter how stout they become, and they are
always uncomfortable. These are the harder
to fit, and my severest trial. Small boned
stout people are easy to fit, and never feel
eny discomfort from their clothes Some
ladies come to me SO angular and thin that
they have no form whatever. These l make
any shape / choose; build them out with
padding Some of my Washington customers
are Of this kind, but if you were to see them
dressed for reception or promenade, you
would never suspect such to be the case"

The writer's intention Is unquestionably
excellent, and no doubt there IL real loyalty

make out, TO the nation and the life Of her

be. they would have chosen it to be what il

I miss you my darling. my darling;
The embers burn low on the hearth;
And stilled is the stir of the household,
And hushed is the voice Of its mirth;
The rain FLASHES fast on the terrace,
The winds past the lattices moan;
The midnight chimes out from the minister.
And am alone.
I want you, my darling, my darling;
am tired with care and with fret;
j would nestle in silence beside you,
And all but your presence forget,
In the hush OF the happiness given,
To those, who through trusting have grown
To the fulness of love in contentment.
But am alone.
