Clothes may not make the man, but
they have everything to do with his
general appearance. Enter barber
shop any day when the chairs are full,
scan the heads Of the customers a. they
lay back in the chairs, with the towel
and duster close up to their chins, form
your idea Of the appearance Of the man
when he shall have stepped out on the
floor, and in nineteen cases out Of
twenty you will be surprised. In the
first place all idea Of his size Is hidden
under the buster. In recognizing q
friend you do 20 as much By his size
and manner as you do his features.
You readily recognize an acquaintance
from rear view as he walks on ahead
Of you. In the barber shop you will
see q man with o massive No. 8 head,
and when he steps down you are as
much shocked to find that It is placed
on a 8 foot 6 inch body as to learn that
the boyish 81 head in the next chair il
ON top OF q 6 foot body. You will see
a noble, high browed head that you
are sure must belong to some distin.
guished lawyer, and you are knocked
out when a policeman or the engineer
from next door in his blue flannel
shirt energies from under the covers.
Another thing that amuses me Is the
failure Of friends TO recognize each
other while in the barber chairs, and
that happens twenty times day, the
recognition only following when ont
or the other comes of the, chair. ST

Lotta's euocsssor.

The saying that "many are called
but few are chosen" was never better
exemple6ed than in the case Of Miss
Myra Goodwin, the bright and talent.
ed soubrette who has made for herself
quite . reputation within the past year
under the management Of j. A. Wiki.
insou.
Born in Boston in 1869. Miss
Goodwin is now at that age when beau.
ty is like the unbudded rose that looks
with simple eyes upon this wicked
world. She made her first theatrical
appearance at the Boston Museum in
1879, in the part Of q quakeress, spec.
tally introduced in "Pinafore" for the
sole purpose Of giving this dainty
child on opportunity to show her skill
as q coincidence and danseuse. She
made an instantaneous hit; but, being
merely child at the time, her friends
concluded to send her to school, which
they did, selecting the Convent at Bos.
ton Highlands as the most suitable re-.
sort for one Of her tender years, and
yet uniformed MUD. She renamed
there for nearly Eve years, and while
there acquired q sound educa.
ton in all the modern and useful
branches Of learning, with the result
that she is to-day one Of the best edu-
Gated actresses in the country. Re.
turning to professional life she made
her appearance at the 14th Street The
atre, New York, August Sd, 1885, in q
oomedy-drama, written by Edward Kid
der, the author Of Niagara and Other
successful plays. Her singing and
dancing captivated New York, aud on
the conclusion Of her season in thai
city she made tour Of the country
playing ISIS with all the abandon o.
| her childish nature and all the art of ,
born actress. Sis has been MATERIAL,
altered by MIR. Kidder, and now is /
delightful little comedy, in which tn.
star is seen even to greater advantage
than she was last season. She viii
visit California, where she will be sur,
Of . warm welcome. She is now in tn
first flush Of youth, and she sings will
the freshness of childhood, and dance
as gracefully as if she were Terpsichor
herself. Her banjo-playing has beef
highly spoken Of and as far as the writ
er can learn, she is another Lolita
with the added charms Of beauty ant
grace Of person. Though not favora
BILE to the modern style Of farce.drama
we are inclined to make exception
when the principal part is played by
nice young girl who has the gift o
beauty, intelligence and skill in tn
arts Of dancing and banjo-plsying
