Her eyes are bright. and life has now
For her unwOnted zest.

Are suffering cruel wounds?
The summer girl has had her FUN
And gained just eighteen pounds.
To her Irritation Is but sport,
And when she's tired OF love
She filings 1t from her. as she might
A faded. wOrnout glove.
She's had fun at the mountains,
And she's had fun at the beach,
While tantaliZed young men have found
Her just beyond their reach
She's tiirted, waltzed, and walked with
all.
With preference for none.
And many youth has grieYed 10 lind
That he was not the one.
And now she's home again at last
Her loneliness enhanced
BY all the leagues she's rowed and sailed
And all the miles she's danced.
She's home again. far sweeter than
She was before she went,
And II the world could see her heart

 On New Year's Day, matinee and nightr "Alabama" will be the attraction.
 This is welcome news for our theater- goers, who retain many pleasant recollec- tions of ''Alabama.D - The scene, the sem timent, the surroundings of 'A ablma, are all of the south after the war. The en- tire action is out of doors. The play is poetic, refined, simple and full of delicate tenderness. There are no blood and thun- der parts, but the story told is interesting. The mild beauty of it's sentiment by it's very novelty and truth touches the hearts of the audience and holds it spellbound. It Is play that commends itself to the ed- ucated and~thinking people in the north and south alike. It's treatment is of that tender and humane character that appeals alike 10 all natures. The truthfulness and sincerity Of spirit blot out all thought of sectionalism.
 Mir. Thomas is the irst dramatic author to catch the dreamy fancy of the south without doing violence to the natural sem timent and humanity of that region. "'Aiabama' has, it is said, all the quaint delicacy of pastoral, yet deals faithfully with fact, it's poetry being the simple ex- pression of genuine character. The char acters have been living, loving, suffering, hoping, 6espairing for many years. When the curtain shuts them out of one's sight their life is not finished. These various characters will live for many years in the memory of every oue who sees the beauti- ful play.

THINGS DRAMATIC.
mr3o tic 3D

Pauline Hall, beautiful and delightful prima donna that she is, will be at O'Brien's at matinee today and tonight in a new operatic comedy, entitled "Dorcas. - This delightful work, in which Miss Hall is said to be repeating her former successes, is from. the pen. of that brilliant author, Harry Paulton, whose name first attracted attention by the success he achieved in writing the book of "Ermnie.'
 "Dorcas'' is replete with bright and pretty music, lasting and tuneful. In com bling this comedy Mir. Paulton takes his suggestion from an old German source. but that alone is the only thing borrowed, as for the filling out and completeness or the story he has relied solely upon his own brilliant imaginative powers, and he has changed the scenes so as to have them occur in England.
 Miss Hall will, during the course of the story told in "Dorcas, ,' be called to ap- pear in as many as three different eharac- terg all of which are in direct contrast with each other, her first entrance being made in the guise of jolly, happy young peddler boy, then again as Dorcas, the hc- titious vile of the village inn keeper, and in the last act she is seen in her own SUI preme personality and beauty as Lady Honoria.
 The company engaged for the presenta- ton is a strong and most competent one, for in addition to Pauline Hall there is comprised in her support such sterling and competent artists of both the dramatic and operatic stage as Jeannette St. Henry, Kate Davis, J. Aldrich Libbey, William Broder- ick, Charles H. Bradshaw, etc.
