The Washington times., 1895-04-27

Tuesday evening was great time gener
ally among the theater goers, more espec-
tally among those who went TO Albaughs
and were unable to be entertained with
any performance on account Of the serious
illness OF Stuart Robson.
Among the many who were turned away
on this accuont was quite large party OF
young people, who, under the chaperon-
age OF fashionable young matron of the
West End, recently returned from abroaI
The plan had been for the party after the
performance at the thcater TO be enter
tanned at supper at Pages, and to this
end every arrangement had been duly made.
These arrangements Included a meeting
with the matron's husband, who was to
join the party at the theater after the
close of the play and go with them to the
supper
When it was discovered that Mr. Rob
sons Illness would interfere with the per-
feet carrying out OF their plans, the mem
beTS OF the party put their heads together
and decided to do the next best thing, in
securing the best possible seats at Ada
Rehan's performance.
This was accordingly acted upon with
out further delay, and all OF the party
trooped over 10 the National with the eX-
ception of the matron. The latter in order
te-appriSe her husband of the change OF
plans, jumped into her carriage that stood
waiting at the theater door and drove with
all speed to her residence near Dupont
Circle
Hero a state of affairs confronted her.
The butler taking advantage of her absence
as he supposed until a late hour Of the night,
had proceeded with all celerity TO fill him
self AS fun OF old rye as possible, and by
the time his mistress appeared upon the
scene was about as gloriously and uproar-
iously drunk as he knew how To get
II was some while before the matron APP
peared i'll the seat kept for her at the
National, as before allowing herself that
recreation, She had been kept busy calling
up police headquarters on the telephone
and then waiting until the obstreperous
butler had been removed in the ambulance
and the house placed in charge of police
man in order to insure its safety during her
absence
This much accomplished and the proper
message Ieft-for her husband, the matron
felt that the time had arrived to allow her
self the recreation of joining her friends at
the theater and giving herself up 10 enjoy
ment for the remainder OF the evening.
