Enjoyed Themselves at

The opera-house is packed as usual from
pit TO roof. The occupants of the boxes
level their glasses and gaZed down COM
PLEASANTLY upon the less favored spectators
in the orchestra. These wonder, casu-
ally, whether life is endurable back in the
dress circle, and back there some one has
just queried with a shiver whether there
is any one up in the balcony who can re-
ally appreciate Irving. Even at Irving
prices the family circle is a little more
than they could stand, yet they had heard
that there are really nice people up there.
Up in the balcony there sit and criticize,
enjoy and thoroughly appreciate the
great English man and woman people who
could tell the arrogant scorners below
more about the Bard of Avon and his
work than their fashion ridden brains
could have found room for.

that it
''In a certain sense yes. Bullet me give
you a practical illustration. Suppose you
found your wardrobe needed replenishing,
and you had TO buy half dozen shirts
say, where would you go to purchase
them?"
II suppose if 1 followed your theory L
would go to the place where l could buy
the kind of shirt l wanted for the least
money"
Quite so, but there's something more.
You probably don't know much about
shirts, their cut and the wearing qualities
of their material; | confess l don't"
Then how wonld you know where to
get this best value you speak ol?"
Just by the use of little common
sense. l would naturally go to the man
who sold most shirts, not because that
fact was evidence of his popularity, but
because it would show me that if he made
and sold a hundred dozen a week he
w0nld be content with smaller margin of
profit than the man who sold only ten
dozen. and could afford to sell me shirt of
better quality for the same price as his
smaller neighbor charged me.
Il buy my shirts of Beamish. at The

hundreds of pieces OF furnishing goods of

made the discovery that the bird was a
prisoner to its nest. A ladder was brought
and the bird and nest were taken down
and examined. One leg of the little suf-
ferer had become ensnarled in the wool
with which the nest was lined, and it was
only after twenty minutes of painstaking
efforts with sharp instruments that the
limb was loOsed from the snarl. This

To begin with the metal is put into a DOT

which signifies about 2O00 deg. Fahrenheit
