lack, the veteran gallant and actor:
Very careful is Lester Wallack about
the usages of good society. He ran
away with the daugher OF an English
nobleman, whose acquaintance he had
made while an officer in a crack regi-
ment of the English army. When
Wallack lost Montague. who gave him
entire satisfaction, he was compelled
to take Osmond Tearle. One morning
at rehearsal Tearle committed the faux
pas OF lifting his coat-tails as he sat
down to make love to o young lady in
her drawing-room. Wallack was dis
guSted with the act. Let me tell YOU,
Mr Tearle, that gentleman's ward
robe is sufficiently large to permit of
his rumpling rs many coat-tails in
day as he pleases. :"
