the officers. and also shows the amusing tone of
superiority they use toward veterans of armies

THE STAGE KISS.
Effect on an Audience of Two Varieties O.
Oscillation.

Effect on an Audience of Two Varieties of
Oscillation.
The stage kiss is q poser. 1t has at times an
effect that is occult. inscrutable and deep. No
man can tell what its impression on an audience
will be. and the shrewdest of theatrical judges
turn difident when asked about it.
The last time that the beautiful Adelaide Neil
son played Juliet in New York she had babe
Romeo a lingering farewell. and was turning
away from the balcony when a sudden within
seemed to seize her, and, wheeling about swift
~, she caught his face in both her hands, and,
The house was still as death. The
audience, already seriously wrought upon,
and feeling parched, arid and uncouth.
leaned forward nervously. Two thousand eyes
were riveted upon the actress. There was a long
wait; then she slowly pressed her lips to Romeo's
and seemed lost to everything around her. The
prople sat like stones. A programme foated
down from above, and fell athwart a woman's
bonnet and she did not raise her hand to remove
it. A spinster coughed. Juliet raised her head
slowly and glided away, looking back over her
shoulder as she disappeared, with an expression
that no man who saw it will ever forget. There
was a long silence, and then the play went on.
But no one paid the slightest attention to it.
One by one the people relaxed their strained
and intent attitudes, and leaned back in their
chairs. There WIS no rustic or noise. The
woman did not notice the programme on her
bonnet until the curtain fell.
Miss Anderson played Juliet here when she
returned from London, and in the fourth act she
kissed Romeo. AS she approached the event the
bald headed man in the orchestra who habitually
dawdles with the base viol rose from his seat and
looked over the footlights. Everybody knew
the kiss was coming, and when the actress
leaned forward, frigidly and resolutely placed
her face in the immediate proximity of Romeo's
the house was all attention. She leaned back
again. The deed had been done. The bald
headed man in the orchestra sank back in his
chair. shivered a bit, and turned up his collar.
The lights fickered. An usher sneezed, and,
tip-toaing lightly to the door. he put his hand
across the crack to see if he could find out where
the chilling draught came from. Then a howl
ing swell rose from his seat. blew upon his fin
gers. pulled on a fur o~vercoat, went out into
Thirteenth street and wished audibly that he
was dead.

PRETTY BOY, NAUGHTY noY..
How a Bachelors Bath Was Disturbed Ey

New York Herald.
From his appearance he might have stepped
down from some antique picture in a dusty gal
lery of paintings. Everything about him was
faded. even to his blue eyes and his blonde
whiskers. His vest, or "waistcoat," to use a
more liberal term, was the most gorgeous bit of
apparel that the Yorkville Police Court had ever
probably beheld, being covered with lowered
figures as profusely as the famboyant windows
of a French church centuries ago. A wizened

The court recovered from its amusement over
the recital, and, after the little woman had told q
pitiful story of her 'Polly," the case was dis
missed.

An Absent-Minded Woman.

Washington Letter.
There was a sensation in Epiphany Church
last Sunday, when a well known lady came walk
ing up the aisle with a pair of opera glasses in
her hand, which she carried in a most conspicu-
Gus manner. AS soon as the services com
menced she discovered her mistake, and her de-
votions were somewhat disturbed by the fear
that other people had noticed it. She explained
afterwards that she usually kept her prayer
book and opera glasses together, and in a fit of
abstraction she picked up the wrong article and
started for church.

Actresses and Their Costumes.

New York Letter in Boston Globe.
One of our most prominent actresses says that
by a special arrangement with her modiste ,he
never pays for a dress if the play she wears IL in
ia q success. In that event the advertisement it
gets from night to night is certain to bring the
dressmaker orders enough for duplicates of the
costume to compensate her for the first invest
ment. It used to be said, with what truth /
know not, that Harry Montague paid only half
price for his clothes, the advertising his wearing
gave them offsettiug the other half.

Perhaps the most forlorn object in animated
nature is a man whose wife is giving a ladies'
luncheon. To see him dodge in among the car
riages at the gate, slip around the back alley and
find enforced refuge in the kitchen. while the
fair guests are discussing the salads and the ices
in the dining-room, and dissecting the sex of
which he is the wretched representative, is o
sight to melt the hardest heart.

Upon hearing this name. we'll known to me, I
evlnced an increased interest.
when ! had made this discovery" continued
Mr.. Curper, II had no hesitation as to my plan Of
action. I wrote o note to the young lady, ad-
>dressing her by her nom de plume, but assuming,
as a matter of course, that I knew all about her,
and having briefly stated that I had attended to
the case, as far as possible under the circum-
stances, ] said that it would be necessary for me
to have an interview, in order that might confer
with her in regard to further action"
s.She will pay no attention to that" said I.
SsThere you are mistaken replied Curper,
quickly. "As / have performed the service she
desired Of me-
MAINLY through me-" l interrupted.
"And have arrived at a point where her assist
anee Re necessary, it will be impossible for her, if
she has any courtesy at all, to refuse to answer
my note. Then, If she does not Immediately
disclose her identity, her answer will give me
further clews, and I shall write to her again, and
you may depend upon 1t, I shall be comforting
with her personally in q week or ten days."
T happened to know. through Mrs. Grome,
that the lady was out of town, but it did not ac-
cord with my principles to give Curper any
information upon the subject
