IT WORKED.
A Plan Adopted by Man Who Wanted
TO See the Play.

A Plan Adopted by a Man Who Wanted
TO See the Play.
The theatre was crowded. The curtain
( had Just risen. Jewels flashed gay plumes
on wondrous headdresses duttered in the
] heated air, costly fans waved slowly TO and
| fro, and the fashionable audience turned
| its eyes and opera glasses toward the stage
and settled into the hush of expectation
that precedes the opening of the play when
the experienced stage manager has waited
considerably for all the late corners to be
seated before the bell taps for the curtain
to rise.
In conspicuous location about halfway
between the orchestra aud the front seats
of the parquet circle were three ladies who
had come in unattended about five min
utes before They were noticeable for the
wide, fiaring, outrageous hats they wore.
Directly behind them sat nervous look
ing, despairing man, who was making
wild but fruitless efforts to see the stage.
The wide hats, with their wealth of trop
ical bird foliage, hid everything he wanted
to see from view. In vain he wriggled and
squirmed and craned his neck from side TO
side The hats were too large, too close to-
gether and too eichly upholstered.
Apparently unconscious that he was at
tracing the attention of everybody in his
.neighborhood and bringing the ladies in
front of him into unpleasant prominence,
he persevered till sounds of i'll suppressed
laughter were heard on all sides of him.
Then he settled himself back in his chair
with a world weary sigh, but the next mo
ment took advantage of a lull in the per-
formance on the stage to lean forward and
address one of the ladies-the one who sat
in the middle.
Madam" he said, in a loud whisper, IT
beg pardon, but it is utterly impossible for
me to see through your hat, and the Lord
made me too small to see over it. If you
will kindly remove it you will make
wretched man happy for whole evening"
The forty or fifty persons who were look
ing on saw the lady remove her hat at
once, turn round and smilingly beg his
pardon. They saw the other two ladies
take off their hats also, and the example
became instantly contagious. Ten or a
dozen other enormous hats came off with
in the next half minute, much to the re-
lief of the sufferers directly behind them.
Then the star of the evening stepped on
the stage, and the attention of the audi
ence was attracted to the performance
again.
The details Of this pleasing littleincident
are given in full for the purpose of ex-
planning to those who witnessed it that the
whole affair was put up job.
The lady whom that man addressed was
his wife, and the other two were his sis
ters.-Chicago Tribune.

would not lie like a pirate for the benefit
of his boss. There are some advantages,

As the Buddha devout declares
That the soul at viii could easily go

Softly as from buds the roses bloom,
Or as lightly as a golden beam

Wandering as the impulse led.
If this fancy quaint were really so,

Couldn't you tell where first would 90,
And steal upon whom unawares?
Swiftly as moonlight creeps on the tide,
Lightly as perfume floats thro' the ar,

Kissing away all traces of care.
