His Eminenc, the Cardinal, Duke
de RicheIieu ~
Those are the first words ever spoke
on any stage before any pubic.
1t was as the page who announced
his lord that / SPOKE those words, and

lieu. lJ was IN CInCinr All. l can't
de 'c!i5e how | felt that niGht. 1t was
not only my first appearance, it was my
nrst appearance III tights. | was very
IN leu ashamed and very much afraid.
Ia fact [ stuck couldn't go on with
my wJrds, aad before [ appeared on
tn, stag [ wandered around in the
wings with a skirt'oVer my tights. Or
20 Irse the company guYei me to their
hearts content. From the day l 40
peared as that page in tights [ have, as
you remember, appeared II that attire
very often -IrhjnKas Hans Wagner and
as Gabriel in Evangeline. and as Venus
in Orpheus aud Eurydice, and made
far show. l don't see why some people
necessary to have one in burlesque, all
the same, and you want tights to snow
II off. I remember when [ first went
into the business | used TO spend al
most ali my salary, $l2, on tights, shoes
and wigs.
The most expensive kind I have worn
COST about $40. You can't wear them
longer Than three weeks. They are made
OF tine soft SILK. haV. ofte ! laund red
my own flesh tights. They are colored
with what we call pink Ucer" in the
profession, kind of stuff you bay at
the druggists.
put mp tights away in box. l do
not hang them up, as they would get
dusty. l have always two or three
patrs at hand in case of an emergency.
[ used to nave so many tights of so
many colors that the girls used 10 call
mine rainbow collection You have
to be awfully careful when you put on
your tights. They rip SO easily. A
inger-nail can tear them. Tights are
pulled up with strap round the waist,
turned over, and then fastened with
safety pins. Padding, which is made
of sheep's wool, is very common. Very
few figures are perfect. | have known
girls who pad even their ms cps.
Tn4y say the chorus girls go around
sticking pins into the costumes of their
comrades TO see whether they are pad
ded or not. | have not toun 1 this kind
OF foolery common. but | have seen one
girl pinch another to see whether she
was real OR sham. Padding is most
generally used for the calf and the in
side of the upper leg.
Wearing tights is injurious to weak
and uudevelOped women. The pulling,
the Tension, is very great. Try to pick
up handkerchief from the floor when
you have tights on aud you'll see. But
like them. They brace you and make
you feel like soldier. l don't mind
showing my leg on the stage. On the
first night of performance, after not
wearing tights for some time, | feel
somewhat ashamed, but that soon wears
off and [ LOOK upon the exposure as
perfectly natural. AS l said before, L
don't see that exposing the lower limb
is any m ore immoral than exposing any
other part of the body.-Pauline Hall,
in tns Philadelphia Press.
The second week of the Wife in San
Francisco reached over $4,000 and the
third, which ended last night, ably
did not go far behind that figure. Pub

the event aud the Wife, it may set |
down as certain, will take its place |
among the Bankers Daughter, Jim the |
Penman. Saints and Sinners, Dani- |

sure o. the warmest kind of welcomes
from their Salt LAKE admirers.
