Which Interested an Audience.
A comic little incident occurred In
the parquet of the Grand Opern House
last week, says the New Orleans
Times-Dcmocrat 1t was funny
enough for outsiders, but Mt one time
threatened to develop some rather dis
trcssing features for one of the per-
sons involved. Just as the orchestra
began timing up for the overture
couple appeared. The lady came first,
young, pretty, and In every line Of
her well-brcd face betraying resent
mcnt of her escorts manner. He,
big, smooth-faced, choleric-looking
fellow, wore nn intensely cocky air,
coupled with the aggrayating way
some men have of steering women
about us though they were half witted.
In two minutes and It half the spec
tators nearest discovered that tl:cir
ncighbors were husband and wife.
The note of authority in his voice and
infection in the name "Fanny" clear
ly indicated u pressure of the matri-
monial yoke.
The man began 'sfussing' ut once.
Passing into the row fringe from
her gown caught in the seat, and
while jerking 1t loose TRADE was
delivered in an undcrtone Oh the Gin
fcrnal folly" of women's clothes.
Then she was forced TO rise while he
adjusted her wrap across the back of
the chair, and stand running COM
mcnt ut the same time OIL her utter
lack of judgment in bringing such u
frivolous style of shawl on sharp
evening.
After nagging and growing till his
wife looked altogether dishcartencd,
this comfortable individual turned his
attention to the programme. lie said
the theatre was ''blastcd bore" and
he wished TO heaven he had not al
lowed himself to be dcuded away from
the club.
"Bu:, Fred, DEAR" the long suffering
woman demonstrated, with slight
suspicion of sarcasm in her soft voice.
"don't you remember how very many
times you came last winter! ! often
wondered il didn't tire you more"
"What arraut nonsense you Ialk,"
her companion rcjoincd. "Of course
