dramatist to witness Rose Coghlan, as she
invests the role with charming realty.

ana Men, tne authof desires 10 say tha'
none OF the characters he caricature3 are
found to be too strongly drawn.
An apology is offered in advance to the
Civil Service Commission, the Farmers
Alliance, the Diplomatic Corps and the
Senate and House of Representatives,
particularly to the presiding officer of the
latter.
As the manuscript was submitted to
both Senator Quay and Senator Bryce be-
fore u was given to the actors, ii rs hoped
that IL will be found quite devoid OF party
bias. The author certainly has none, as
he Is mugwump.
All peoples delight in travestying their
rulers, where they dare to, and as this is
u country where IL is quite safe to dare,
the author has boldly taken that liberty.
