"EIY With Me-

Consider what love-making on the
stage really means, says Mrs. Kendall in
Murray's Magazine. Ayoung girl comes
into theatre to play ingenue parts.
She stands in the wing ready to be call
ed upon the stage and she sees a man
and a woman making love. The man
saws, Dearest, fly with me-" The wo-
man says, Il dare not" The man says,
1--WE will 90 at once; come" The first
time such words as those fall on the
ears of young girl unaccustomed to
hear them they might, if said with fer
vor and passion, mean something, but
this is the way it generally goes:
Dearest, fly with me-"
mo, no, not" from the stage mana
ger; when you say that you stand at
the back of the chair, you lean over
Miss. Snooks' back; she waves her hand
against you. Now, try it.
This is gone over twenty times, until
at last the idea of Fly with me-" as
understood by the young ingenue, must
be of most appalling kind. The gen
tleman has had his right arm, his left
arm, his right leg, his left leg, his back.
his chest, both his hands, his head-all
| talked over. He has tried it in a high
voice, he has tried it in low voice, he
| has tried it in thin voice, he has tried
it in & heavy voice, until there is no
sense left Of what Fly with me" might
under other circumstances mean. All
the romance of love-making is gone.
Therefore, what effect can it have? In
love is it not the fact that some of the
charm lies in treating of an unknown
land?

roar of applause greeted her. She was
handsomer than ever. Her role was
one to call forth all her art. She did
not fail.
As the play proceeded I noticed, how
ever, that she occasionally glanced in
the direction of one of the side-scenes
in a way l did not like. And as the
curtain rose upon the last act there
seemed to me q longer wait than usual
at the time when she should have
entered; however she came.
She advanced to the footlights. The
part she played placed her in that scene

threatened her.

good substitute for an overcoat, and in
cold weather is the best device that
people with scanty wardrobes can
adopt. Insufficient bedclothing can be
reinforced in the same way, and news
papers may be said to be the poor
mans friend in more senses than one.
