So she resolves to be avenged upon him.
With the aid of Mr.. Pinglet, WHO is old

jealous wife of his own, she arranges a
programme of rash and reckless con-
duct. She will go out for an evening her
self and see what this thing of "being

knight, who is almost old enough to be

supper. But they are not destined to have
an evening OF unalloyed delight.
A dozen things happen to disturb and
threaten them with discovery. First of

that assigned to the carousing couple.
Then a suffering friend with four chat

At the Columbia.

1t has been decided to continue Augustin
DaIy's "Great Unknown" at the Columbia
Theater during another week, the recep-
ton which it has met with having recon
mended it to the management for longer
run than was at first planned for it. 1.-THE
Social Trust" which was originally billed,
has been postponed until week from
Monday, August "a. Great pre- parations
are being made for the first performance
of this comedy-drama upon any stage.
''The Social Trust" was written especially
for the Frawley Company by the two we'll
known authors, Hilary Bell and Ramsay
Morris. 1t is a comedy drama, the story
of which is founded upon the incidents
connected with the famous Cordage trust
1t is said that the playwrights have en-
bodied the intensely dramatic features of
the career of the trust and have drawn
their characters from life with accuracy
and truthfulness. The play will have the
advantage of Interpretation at the hands
of the Frawley Company, which includes
Wilton Lackaye, Mrs. Thorndyke Bouci-
cault Miss Blanche l.. Bates ard all of
the important mem bers of the Frawley
Company, including the temperance of
I. Daniel Frawley himself. For this pro-
duction special scenery and stage effects
have been got up and it is not unlikely
that following the present engagement
the play will be taken to New York City
for run.

STEPPED
FROM THE BqR TO
LETTERS

A great many literary men, poets
especially, have been lawyers or have
been called to the bar, which is perhaps
not quite the same thing. Cunning Walt
ers, an Englishman, points out that the
present British laureate at one time prac-
ticed at the bar; that Sir Lewis Morris can
be claimed for the law, and that the same
profession gave Stevenson to literature.
Barry Cornwall had an extensive legal
practice, and among others who started
toward the woolsack and branched off to
Parnassus" are James Smith of 'sRe-
jected Addresses" Shirley BROOKS, Sir
Theodore Martin, w. s. Gilbert and
Calverley. Among lawyers who have
also done distinguished work in the
realm of fancy are Ernest Myers,
Herman Merivale. Sydney Dobell and
Arthur Henry HalIam. Lord Macaulay
was called to the bar at %; then there
was Sir Walter Scott, who attained
the dignity of 'Shirra," and among
a host of others there are Stanley
Weyman and Anthony Hope. Alto
gether, since the time of Bacon
the legal profession has done good deal
for literature. Many of the greatest dra-
IudttotS = ySuCiicy, DcduHOut, HOIu,
Congreve and others = were lawyers,
but none of them in sound knowI-
edge of law equaled Shakespeare.
Lord Campbell, a former Lord Chief
Justice of England, in the year 1859 pub
lished book entitled shakespeare S
Legal requirements" in which he sub
mitted Internationally of the thirty
seven plays to somewhat close examina-
ton and deduced therefrom a large
number of examples illustrative of legal
knowledge or acquaintance with techni-
cal terms on the part of the author.
Astounding as are these law phrases,
points and metaphors, the marvel Is that
they are always accurate and appropri-
ateIy used. There is never a mistake.
"W While novelists and dramatists," SAYS
Campbell, "are constantly making mis-
takes as to the law of marriage, of wills
and of inheritance, 10 Shakespeare law,
lavisnly as he propounds it, there can be
no demurrer, no bill of exception, no writ
of error
