CHARACTER STUDY OF THE CHORUS GIRLS HIGH AMBITIONS

Signor Romeo, Immediately attired,
stood in front of a crowd OF girls,
contemplated them com posedly with his
warm Italian eyes, and smiled pleasantly
with his swell-mustached mouth.
Nova, don'-a be sausages," he said.
I'VE villa begin!'
He gave a sign 10 the musician, who
commenced operations with great deal
of will, but in such fashion that the
girls laughed quietly and looked at one
another, while the signor went wild at
once.
You no-a playr he exclaimed, rush
ing to the piano. Il teach-a you. Play
him this-a way. La-la ia-la la and in
his rare southern fashion he beat time
patiently and sang it all as it should have
been played.
Meanwhile the girls stood on one foot
or leaned against the wall or chatted in
groups over some idle fancy. There was
no loud talking; no boisterous conduct
They were quietly and pleasantly proper.
No one chewed gum or whistled, or even
laughed aloud. Perhaps, indeed 1 am
quite sure that some of them posed a bit,
harmiesslv. you know; just a languid
motion OF the head to one side, a faint up-
lifting OF the eyes TO the uninteresting
flies, graceful motion of the upIifted
arm. But what stage-struck girl could
