And Their Conversation at Times
was Louder Than the Play.
Philadelphia Times.
Sometimes the doings off Of the stage
are as entertaining as those that occur
on it. Such was the case the other
night at the theater, when couple
back of us talked for the benefit of the
whole vicinity. We will give the con-
versatlon verbatim, from the time it
first gently fell upon our ears.
enter couple in front of garrulous
young peOple.)
She (as man in front removes over
coat)-Dear me, what funny lining;
did you ever see one like that, only half
lined with satin?
He superior knowledge in tone and
air)-Oh, yes. that is quite the thing;
but did you ever see hair of two colors
before? (ThiS remark caused by the
lady in front removing her hat.)
She Tin turn airing her knowledge)-
Oh, yes. it is no sign that it has been
bleached (evident relief of lady in fron0;
it Is caused by an uneven flow OF Oil to
the roots.
He (oyerawed at her evident stock of
information) REALLY?
She Teading programme)-ThiS play,

He more; and more impressed

She (proudly)-Un. pew. pass bow

much.
He-How smart you are.
She-Yes, | will make a good wife for
Dick OF Harry either.
He evidently crushed by her last re-
mark, and determined to show off lit
tle)-Pm afraid to go down Twentieth
street now.
She-Why?
He-Because two men are jea lous of
me. Looks at her for admiration. One
night heard two men say, The next
time see that fellow, mean to smack
him in the face.'
She-How awful.

Didn't do right?
She evidently impressed) -EXactly
two yeaIs and never told any one about
it until three months after it was broken
off.
He-R0w romantic.
She (much fattered by this remark
and determined still further to arouse
his admiratIon)-And never saw him
again after the night we were engaged
either.
He-Wasn't that just like novel !?
She (coyly twisting her ring and try
ing to look like heroine)-Yes.
After this there was a short pause,
during which they allowed the play to
proceed with no assistance from them.
With no apparent reason other than to
show off this blessed silence was broken
by her voice eXclaiming, in a very
audible whisper: You never saw my
sister, did you?
He-No.
She-Well, there's a smart girl for
you. Just let me tell you what she did.
You knows she goes in lovely New York
society, and one day she was at Rica-
donna's, lovely swell restaurant, with
a lovely swell society lady. This lady
was flirting with a man at the next
table. The day after my sister was in
Stern's, one of the lovely swell stores in
New York, and this man came up to
her. Excuse me-" he said, 'but didn't
l see you with lady at Ricadonna's last
EVENING"" My sister drew herself up
and said: You saw me at Rcadonna's
with woman; was the lady," We're
an awful smart family. You can't get
ahead of US much.
Judging from the foregoing converse
ton and the marvellous gift of CAB"
exhibited by the young woman right on
up to the tall of the curtain, we could
not altogether blame the young man
gagement and never came back.
