FREE LUNCH BETWEEN ACTS.

FREE LUNCH BETWEEN ACTS.
There is a theatre in New York city
that stands nearly diagonally from a
corner drug store. This drug store
makes speciality of the Between the
Acts matinee girl. 1t is posted upon
the time Of the ring down" OF the cur
tain, and al the right minute it sets
forth its little luncheon promptly, de-
voting tables TO the spread OF the
luncheon. " and serving up all kinds OF
little things TO eat. with big things 10
drink. without waiting TO have them
ordered II is woman s free lunch on
a very nice plan.
During Lent the matinee girl does
part of her resting al the theatre. In
one OF the finest theatres in New York
there is very pretty reclining room
fitted I'D with soft cOuches and bou-
ouets. There are soothing pictures on
the wall and costly works OF statuary
The matinee girl forsakes her seat in
the darlened theatre and seeks out THIS
resting spot. An attendant has taken
her wraps early in the afternoon. With
feather boa for a pillow she lays her
head down upon the arm of the couch
and wakens only when the rising bell
rings. the bell that sends up the cur
tain. The attendant keeps her notified
of it.
Outside the quiet little room are
pleasant Railways set with palms where
the young men chat with the matinee
girls and where very pleasant talking
is done to the jingling Of lemonade
glasses and the tinkle CT the piano that
is in the ladies' reception room further
along the corridor That is the way
they make it pleasant for the matinee
girls.
A great deal can be done between the
acts by the professional matinee girl.
At one of Mrs. Leslie Carriers perform

stars gowns attracted them all at
once. 81 am going out between the
acts to get hat precisely like that if

men, gazing longingly upon a rayishing
vision of roses. And ! want a pair

third, and so on until at the rising OF
the curtain nearly all the articles OF
the wardrobe were mentioned At the
close of the act the entire party rustled
ont of the box and took to cabs; and al
| the rising of the curtain Mrs. Garter
was surprised to behold seven young
ladies in the box near her all arrayed
in parts of her own wardrobe. Sc
much can be done between the acts. '
THE REHAN POUT.
1t need not be recorded to the shame
| of the matinee girl that she is particu
lar about her looks. She likes to look
in style. Looking in style mean

For the last month the matinee girl
have been looking like Bernhard
