Saturday matinee, The Butterflies; Fri
day and Saturday evenings, The Masked
Ball. The Butterflies WAS written by
Henry Guy Carleton. 1t was produced
at Pslmsr's theater, New York, where
1t ran with great success for 150 nights.
The Masked Ball is by Bisson and Caree,
authors of Mr.. Wilkinson's widows, etc.
1t was in this play Mr.. Drew made his
first success ga a star. 1t ran for an
entire season in New York. In this
comedy Maud Adams, the youngest OF
all leading ladies, feigned tipsness in
a dainty, wonianly way SO chsrmingly
that she became famous at q angle
bound. The hero of The Butterflies is
an American gentleman, who is young,
handsome, reckless with his money and
careless concerning the future; yet he
is withal a sterling fellow, no BILE hearted,
witty, satiricsl, full of pathos and
brimming with sentiment. He is
running through his own fortune as fast
as he can and 10 near the point where
He rescues a charming young girl from

by the young lady's rescue from

BOUGHT ANCESTORS FOR HERSELF
How q Wealthy French Widow Acquired q
Coveted Title.

The lady was q widow and rich-yery
rich--as tho French novelist says, richis-
SINE, writes Walter Besant. The gentle
man was q widower past 90, extremely,
even ridiculously, poor, and the last of a
most noble and historical house. History
is full of the achievements Of his people.
Froissart mentions their exploits in every
other page They were always taking this
side or the other, for the king and against
the king. When they took q side they
;neant it. Out they marched, they and
theirs, in full arInor. Whichever side they
took it always ended in their being cap
tured and decapitated for high treason or
else killed in battle From father to son,
from generation to generation, for long
centuries, none of them ever went out of
the world from an inglorious feather bed
1t was always from tho grassy field of hon.
or or from a scaffold A gray beard was
unknown in that house, nor had any of
them ever experienced the tender emotions
of grandfather.
The lady, besides being widow and
richissime, was of ignoble origin, and her
late husband had made his money in trade.
Reflection upon this point made her un-
happy She was so rich that she thought
she ought also to be noble, just to corrc-
spond. 1t Is q common confusion of
thought. She desired above all things to
connect her riches with an ancient name,
and she made o proposal to the nobleman.
"Marry me-" she said. 'Give me the right
to use your name. In return / will give
you as handsome an annuity as you can
possibly desire. You shall have the means
Of living as you please and of obtaining
all that you can desire. I will not ask
you to live in my house. You shall live
where you please. Twill only ask that,
for appearance sake, you will take your
place at my dinners and that you will
show up as the lord Of the house at my re-
ceptions."
Twas arranged in this sense. The lady
took and furnished for herself great ho-
tel. She had the rooms decorated in honor
Of this and that illuetrious ancestor. The
arms of the house were everywhere; the
PORTRAITS, busts and statues of the house
were in all tho rooms; the pictures repre-
sented scenes and episodes in the history
Of the house. The servants wore the an
cicnt livery--the well known livery Of the
house. The hotel became a museum Of
the house, and at dinners and on recep-
tion nights the duke himself was always
present, grave, digniiied and stately, with
the look of one who had stepped out of a
picture frame 500 years old and had put on
the clothes of the nineteenth century, but
not its manners. When madam tho duch-
ess was not at home he lived in his own
chambers at the club after his own fash
ion. An excellert bargain, was it not, and
one that seems perfectly fair TO both par
