Society in Foggy Bottom was all agog.
Inc announcement that the Primrose
Pleasure Club was to give an amateur
theatrical performance sufffced to arouse
general and lively interest, and flaming
posters, executed by hand on pasteboard
box lids. assisted in arousing expectancy.
The play announced was "Othello," and
among the elite of the neighborhood who
were to lend their talents to the occasion
were Miss Prosperity jenkins, as Desde-
mona; Mr.. Erastus Pinkley, as Iago, and
Mr.. Judicious Morgan, as OthelIo. 1t was
Mr.. Judicious Morgan, whose years lent
prestige. who had evolved the idea and to
whose industry were due the preparations
for carrying 1t out. He had cast himself
for the title role, and had called the other
members of the company together for re-
hearsal Owing to the lack of previous
study on the part OF other participants he
decided to start with his first important
speech, which he did as follows, delivering

Animals on the Stage.

The number of animals who make a lfv-

stage glory. and mice have come to the
fore with great credit to themselves and
their trainer
But while so many dumb things" have
been excellent actors. one of their number
at least has been immortalized through
failure. Moliere himself was the actor
who brought about the unrehearsed scene
between himself and his ass. The play
was Don Quixote." and Moliere played
Sancho. Some minutes before he had to
appear on the stage he was waiting I'm the
wings, mounted on his ass. But the lat
ter suddenly forgot his part and insisted
on appearing upon the scene without de-
lay Nor was IL of any avail that half
dozen assistants hung around hts head and
chung desperately to his tail. The ass
with Moliere on his back dashed wildly
among the actors on the scene, and the
fasco would have been complete had not
Moliere saved the situation by shouting to
the audience while jogging along. Par
don, gentlemen! Pardon, ladiesl But this
COMPOUNDED beast has come on against my
wishes" The public responded at once
with roars of laughter and applause but
Moliere never again mounted an ass.

CONCERNING PALINDRoMES

Another famous one was that imputed to

plentiful of product in this line as were
their predecessors-who had been banished
by the queen on suspicion of too great
familiarity with a nobleman. This lady
adopted as device the moon covered by
a cloud. and for her motto took the palm

the judges of such matters say that the
merit of this kind of composition was
never in any example so heightened by

and dismissed the class.
