all that ne. thinks would interest people
around him; he reforms, and assists the

The stage father has also changed with
IN the last two years. / have frequently
seen him with a daughter several years
older than himself, but just now there is
desire to make him very old, so old that
you are surprised that he has strength
enough to speak. He tells his daughter
about her mothers early youth, as II she
could have had a late youth, unless she
was in her second childhood, and then
he and the daughter moan over his pic
ture. He has moan that sounds not un-
IKE three hOWls of a dog, and scream

should think Francois Delsarte would turn
in his grave If he knew of the crimes that
are committed in his name.
Here the talker stopped to take a
breath, and that gave opportunity for an
other woman to say: But what do you
think of the heroine? The present one is
walking around in a brown cashmere
frock, with her hair so arranged that, as
1t is very pretty, it can tumble down at
any minute, and she is so very, very inno-
cent, although she is nearly 20 years old,
that she understands nothing.
And, when bold, wicked man tells
her that he is furnishing a cottage for
her, and that he has diamond necklace
and tiara waiting her pleasure, and all
that he asks Of her is that she will be
pleasant to him once in a while, and that
they will not bind themselves with the
iron letters Of matrimOny, under which
so many slaves are held, or something to
that effect, then she is innocent. That
good girl opens her eyes wide, and tells
him in most plaintive tone, that, unless
she can take the family to live with her in
the little cottage she cannot go. And af-
terwards she wonders what he meant. And
she goes around telling all the men on
the stage who then say: The sweet in
nocent' and then they agree not to let
her know the worst about the man.
sometimes her mother is a gay woman
OF fashion, and when she is she wears a
purple moire trimmed with black lace
and large hat with plumes and pink
roses. If she is not after this type, then
she is an honest, hard-working woman.
and we all know that this is true be-
cause she wears a calico frock and all
her diamond rings. She even has a ring
on her forehnger, because she read in one
of the papers that the Czarina of Russia
wears one. 1 should think that when
she is honestly scrubbing floors, some of
the diamonds would get loosened but
they never do. Her frock is never solled
and her apron is immaculate and yet
she means about how hard she works for
the dear children, and how, thank heaven
she takes care of the rooms of a kind
hearted gentleman, who every Christmas
sends her turkey. The supposition is
that they have nothing else to eat all the
year round. Sometimes the good girl Is
rich, and tells the audience that she
doesn't care for good clothes, but she
spends her money to encourage the work
ingman. Then she wears velvet because
she wishes to look dignifed and philan-
thropic. She has a cousin who is lively.
and a firt, and who wears frocks that
are entirely too short for her, and prances
about in fashion that would be unbecorn-
ing in child of ten, but which is con-
sidered the essence of mirthfulness in
this young woman"
Here there was stop to get another
cup of tea, and the girl who wished to
know asked, What is the difference in
the acting Of Ada Rehan and George
Cayvan?'
And I said: "Georgie Cayvan ALWAYS
