In saving 70. Her irregularities OF costume

calls of a theatrical audience, and her peculiar
iti,s Of dcmeanor wherever she goes, do not

curiosity. the big fortune which she il
making out of Little Lord Fauntlc-
roy" SHOULD assuape her agonics Of
outraged dinidcncc. But what | set out to write
j, the fact that Little Lord FRuntleroy. in al!
lis mu. titudinous Implications. has been killed
outright by dramatization. Before the story of
tLc a~bnormally good little boy was made into a
rlsy we saw numerous examples of him every
where. Alopg-haired boy. dressed in a fash
ion to make hit sex an uncertainty to the OBJ
server. at least from his belt to his cap, was
encountered in every street promenade. But at
rresent he il an exceedingly scarce individual.
Pidicule has followed CO e upon popularity. and
he has been shorn of his locks and put into
boyish garments. The relief to the general pub
lie is great and to the poor little sufferers from
Iarntlcroyism il must be immen.e. Most Of
our mothers have come to their senses. and if
they are still fond of discovering Fauntleroy
goodness in their urchins they are happily
cured of the folly of consuming them like blessed
little idiots.

t.culals. All old Snowman had hit upon
what lie thought was q bright bust
ness idea. He would hire q precocious
boy. CAPABLE of reciting winsomely, and
put him forward as a reformed actor. He reR-
soned that many very successful evangelist
had, al lie termed it, worked the reform
racket. and why shouldn't n boy who had en-
acted the part OF Fnunrleroy turn pions in the
anne way, rerounce the wickcdness of the stage
and find profitable acceptance on the lyceum
Platform ? Wouldn't the church folks coddle
and enrich such an elocutionary brand from
tie footlisht burning? Anyhow, that was the
thowman's scheme and he proposes to realize
It. The rrodigies were being brought to him
for a selection.
OUR GIRLS HoME AGAIN.
All the girls are here in delightful profusion
again, slightly EearagGled a. regards their cos
tunes but as fine AZ ripe apples physically. A
sumne outing touches up the faded features in
. very pleasing way, ! am sure, and yet, now
that the girls find Themselves in the cool autumn
liSht. with a tint OF the gold Of August in their
faces, they worry Themselves over the question
OF getting bleached back to a snowy pallor once
more. tired, az it is their tickle nature to be, of
the glow that was desirable a few weeks back. l

Then she told a story about a pretty friend of
hers who in some manner or other became
afflicted during the warm weather with at least
six iltt,e treckles exactly across the bridge OF
