yirate" 1t is a receipt for an ideal ma
ture, and is vastly pathetic:
II YOU want a receipt for that wonderful mystery
Known TO the world az nature ideal,
Take all the big comques Of opera history.
Microscopically they will reveal
The sweetness OF Fox giving credit to Hopper.
For ali her tuition and all her success;
Ingenious Hopper. who spoke like a pepper"
And hoped that tho angels dear Della would
bless.
Take angelic Wilson, who hoped that the other
two
Always would be more successful than he;
And noble fair Lillian, who cabled million
Encouraging words from far over the sea.
Unselnsh Tom seabrooke, who hoped public crush
Ever attend this triangular gushing mill.

Ledcrcr wept on the shoulder Of French.
Boil down these natures beyond all comparison;
Let them be boiled by hale, sarcastic Harrison.
Set them to simmer, and take on the scum,
And a nature ideal 10 the residuum.

Mayer and Mons. Marius, and wasn't in

Mrs. Langtry is sending cable messages
every day to Joseph Reynolds, and this
time 1t really looks as though she would
come to America. She will not secure
time at Abbey's Theatre owing to the
new decision that Lillian Russell shall
play there, but she is getting dates out
of town, and II she fails to cross the
ocean Mr.. Reynolds will be able to say
to her-and he can say 1t most effec-
tively-"Madame, where are my dam
