ALL OVER
SCISSORS.
It's a Pity, but Neither Jessie
Nor Daisy Viii Talk.

Nor Daisy Viii Talk.

That's old. but it holds good at the

enough, but when both parties to the
drama are women-well, it is intensified.
Just whether Jessie Haynes scorned
Daley Watkins, or vice versa, will never
be thoroughly settled. Jessie says she
scorned Daisy, and Daisy says Jessie is
no such thing. In fact, the controversy
bids fair to replace the great problem
relating to the mode of punishment in
tiicted upon Gladys Wallace by Frawley.
Did Jessie take Daisy's scissors, and II
she did were they returned is now the
greatest feature in the glomeration
OF wltticlsm That scintillale on the Bald
win stage. Jessie declares that she never
had the old scissors anyway, and even
if she did have them she returned them
anyhow, they were no good and wouldn't /
cut. And Daisy is a mean old thing, so
there now.
Well, Daisy has a pretty good COM
mand OF language herself, especially

cite Daisy than any otner one thing ii is
to have somebody take her pet scissors
and then pull her hair when asked to
return them. Daisy is mad clear through
and doesn't care bit who knows IL.
Jessie appeared Oh the stage yesterday
afternoon JUST as II nothing had hap

scratch on her nose she was cute enough

looked awfully sweet-tempered. too,
from the front of the house, but, on my,
what a difference when the curtain was
down.
Th re is an armed neutrality between
Daisy and Jessie just now, but when they

head is still paining he- where her hair
tailed to come out. and Daisy's eve Is a
constant reminder that she had no busi-
ness lending scissors. Until the sooth
ing hand of time shall ease these scnes
and pains there IS constant danger OF
another outbreak Of Dostilities.
Jessie walked jaunti.y from the stage
door after the matinee yesterday after
noon ana wouldn' say a word about her
little side advertisement. No, indeed,
she wasn't going 10 talk about that
woman. She wasn't worth talking
bout. and anyway didn't Daisy get The
worst of it? And she will get il every
time, too.

truth about it. Her eye was not

she say so? She needn't have tried to
take pair that some body else wanted.
Daisy would have given her a pair if

was a hateful old thing, anyhow, and
