very easily contracted, and if left to
run its course without the aid Of some
reliable cough remedy it is liable to

used it quite extensively ana it has al

'WiH She Divorce Him?" is the title of
Clinton Stewards four-act comedy, now
in preparation al the Alcazar, to follow
The Nominee" This knotty question,
which stares in the face so many OF the
actors of the real dramas of life, is very
comfortably answered by the characters
in Mr.. Stewards comedy, but not until
their various perplexities have been served
up in succession of ludicrous situations.
The plot embraces two distinct stories of
two pending separations-one due to pa
rental interference, the other TO jealousy
not entirely unfounded.
In both cases good grounds for divorce
are shown, and in both cases a fear Of
scan dal stays the parties from pressing
their grievances before the proper tri ibunal
