in A LONDON THEATER.
a First Night as Seen by an Artist
Every One in Evening Dress.


a London audience is brilliant. Every
one is in evening dress and the audience
is often more entertaining than the
play, says Scribner's. This is espe-
cially true on the first night. 1t such
times the pit is watched most anxiously
by the management, as the success of
the piece generally depends on its YER
dict. 1t has often occurred to me when
1 have seen people on a storm night
forming a line on the pavement out
side the pit entrance, taking il all seri-
ously enough to stand there for hours
before the doors were opened, that by
letting them inside the management
might improve their spirits and they
in their turn might be more gentle.
And it has also occurred to me when
have seen a stout man standing in
the aisle fumbEng for a sixpence or a
shilling in pockets that probably only
contain bank note and a gold piece
that the management might further
improve the spirits Of its audience by
doing away with women ushers and by
selling the programme at the same
time it sells the seat, for it is hardly
fair TO the first act Of a play 10 make
it overcome the fretfnlness caused by
annoying attendants before it can hope
to amrse But the second act is sure
to have fair start and if the play is
good from there On il will have no rea-
son to complain of its audience.

panfOn.
\ little girl II years old recently
travelled all the way from Wichita,
Kan, to Rochester, n. ", with no COM
panion but her kitten She was allowed
to have the pet in her lap, although it is
against the rules of railroad companies
to allow animals in the passenger coach.
Perhaps this may have been due partial
~ 10 the fact that the kitten was dressed
like folks" in clothes The cat was
as handsomely attired as favorite doll
and infinitely more amusing. Her little
dress did not seem a novelty 70 her, and
the little waist with bishop sleeves and
lace at the ankles, or more properly
wrists, was dainty, while a handsome
lace baby cap completed the rlost
fetching toilet
The little girl apologized fer the state
Of kittie's clothing, as she said she had
but one change out Of her trunk But
kittie had spent the most of her journey
on her mistress lap or on the velvet
car seat and was not in the least be-
dragged. The little girl said size did
not care for dolls, because they weren't
alive, and kittie could play with her;
besides, kittie did not Object to be-
ing dressed and undressed, so she had
all the pleasure Of playing doll with a
live doliie.
