this postscript in: s'GOd bless Jane and
make her good girl; God bless the baby
and make Il grow up 10 be a good girl, and
God bless Mr.. Cha ley Frohman for having
the knowledge in his heart that couldn't
see over big hats; hope he'll have box
given to him whenever he wants it, and
that he will do a good business on the road.
Amenp That's funny because 1t is true,
but cite it as an evidence of the
feeling that is aroused when people do a nice
thing In a nice way" Just here my gossip
stopped, and we went Off TO get the cup Of
{ "a for which praise Chicago. and am
sure that my small friend would ask bless
ing for it if dropped her a line to that eff

-CRCHESTRAS-FUNNY PLAYS.
After the grip, you have got to be amused !;
your inclination is TO sit and weep, and
your tendency is toward suicide. l have
been devoting my time, as the family dis
like weeping people, and don't think sui
eide is nice thing, going 70 the theaters-
the ones where there are funny things.
buy my seats OF a Spectator, and get the
corner ones in the front row, so that / see
and hear whatever there is to be seen or
heard. The fault that l find is that most
orchestras play too loud for the people who
sing with them. The gentleman
who controls the music bottled in the cor
out in spurts, which may be an evidence of
his strength which may appeal to the peo-
pie who are fond OF Wagner but does not
delight those who like TO hear the words Of
a song. The first night that was person.
ally conducted to play there was danger
OF a relapse the next day. The play itself
was "a Trip to Chinatown" am told it is
not like wnat it was at first; still,
in one season, would all the
nd fnHa
grow scrawny about the legs and sizable
about the handsl Methihks not. The
whole thing was poor. The danciug was
bad, and the singing worse, and yet l re-
member the time when | laughed till
ached at "a. Brass Monkey" Is anything
the matter with Mr.. Hoyt9
My next effort at being amused was in
witnessing 1.-The City Directory" where
was so delighted at the beaut ifui dancing
OF Amelia Glover that forgave all the rest,
and when forgive l always forget
The third debut, so TO say, was made at
THE Lion Tanner" and behind the curtains
of box | bowed my head upon my hand
and gave inaudibe thanks for the existence
of Francis Wilson and Marie Jansen.
They know how to make fun-real, honest,
good fun. You laugh at 1t, and "a tot of 5
years laughs at it. The songs are merry,
the circus in which the raging lions,
terry for the lion tanner himself, is
perfect thing Of beauty, and as it pro-
ceshed into the Corsican town there was
more than pleasure gained from tit be-
came ecstasy. The chorus are cookbook
ing. properly dressed, and Mr.. Wilson shows
his appreciation of beauty by getting as
menY dark-haired people on the stage as he
possibly can. Any lion who could not be
tsmed by the suave manner of Mr.. Wilson
is not a real roaring lion, but base lmita-
tion, stuffed and having glass eyes And
any woman who wouldn't poison her hus-
band after hearing Marie Jansen sing of the
intallibe fascination Of widow lacks that
something which characterizes a true
woman After seeing THE Lion Tanner"
the grip got better, and, without wishing to
speak of 1t as dose of medicine, still | must
say that do think that it did more good
than quinine-whisky declined to take.
WHAT DO WE DECLINE?
wonder il we decline to take many good
things in this worlds
Did you ever decline to take a kiss2 Not
if it were offered by the right person.
Did you ever decline good political po-
sitions Not if my party would back me in
the place.
Did you ever decline dinner In which
terrapin, canvas back and q good dry cham
payne were PROMINENT Not If your diges-
ton would permit it.
Did you ever decline--but no you never
had l,000,0 600 beautiful gold dollars offered
you. You wouldn't decline 1t. might END
this up in a very nice way, by asking you il
you would decline me--but | don't intend
to do 1t, for l am accepted with thanks. u
