quiet smile at his expense" would be a
rather taking title for a novel or a
pamphlet or chapter on "Adyice to
Beginners" or something OF that sort,
wouldn't it? Such work would have
very wide circulation. Chorus girls,
soubrettes, ingenues-nay even prima
donnas-would cry for it. A few

out by one of the bright young ladies
who carry spears in the ranks of the
Wilbur Opera company.
awe have to be awfully careful
about our conduct while on the road, !"
said she. "Miss Kirwin watches over
us like mother, so what's a poor girl
to do to have little fun once in a
while? You know us girls like to eat a
Frankfurter and drink glass Of
lemonade after the performance, and
it would enhance the pleasure derived
from the repast to have some nice
young fellows like-well, like Harry
Kanusbury and Billy Ternorton to
talk to US. But a fellows got to have
certificate of character and all that
before he is permitted to talk with us,
much less see us home. And still we
get notes and flowers from fellows that
would like to see how we look when
close away
zone fellow in st. Paul who was
stuck on Belle Hamilton wrote her
the giddiest kind of note. He told
her he would come to the matinee and
that he would be sitting in certain
seat. IF you care for me, wear red
rose on your left shoulder he added.
Belle told us about it, and asked us
all to provide ourselves with red roses.
We did so. We pinned 'em on our
left shoulder-te he and snickered at
the poor fellow. He didn't know what
to make OF it, but it gradually dawned
upon him that his spoony note had
proved a source of innocent merriment
for the whole company.
MAUD Daniels also played a cute
trick on a fellow in St. Paul. You
know Maud is a beautiful girl and
very talented, too, and of course she
has been annoyed by the attentions of
fellows who like to be able to say that
they know Miss Soand So, the &C
tress.' One day she got letter from
a fellow who seemed to be an original.
L don't believe I'd know you again
he said, but when you were pointed
out to me last night I thought you
we're beaut. Can't you do something
tonight that will cause me to recog
nize your Maud concluded to have a
little quiet fun, 80 she answered the
note telling him she would disport her
hands in neglige fashion III front of
her. There will be one gill in the
march in the second act who will not
have her hands crossed in front of her.
That will be your much battered
Maud she added. Well you know
we all wear our hands in neglige
fashion during that march, so you
can imagine how that fellow felt when
he saw twenty editions of Maud Dan
iels with hands crossed coming on the
stage-he, he, excuse me, must
laugh once more-May Baker, too, is
quite 'stringer.' 1t would require a
volume to describe the tricks she has
played on fresh fellows. What, me?
no indeedy, not 1. 1 have got to go
on and do my little act now. So long,"
