The blind audience Is present discernible
If the observer is possessed of the patience
to pick out it's component parts from the
mob of chatterfng girls, smpering young
women, self-assertive matrons and pink tea
men. So IS the young woman with the soft
tread and the little boy who can see Just
well enough to play usher for his more I'M
fortunate companions. But the tread of the
young woman threatens to become an angry
stamp, and her eyes flash as she sees her
sightless charges pushed this way and that,
until they turn white OF grow hystericai

The little boy. too, grows frightened, as

clings with quivering lips to the young
woman.
Chairs ara filed. neatly arranged piles of
perforated romences and skilled handiwork
are pushed from the table to the floor. to
make impromptu dress circle seats for rows
of gigging femininity.
While the blind girl plays, the young Wo-
man, by strenuous efforts, manages to I'M
scat some of the bland matrons and their
escorts, and fill the chairs with the rightful
occupants.
The corridors outside, two of them. are
packed with disgruntled and disappointed
humanity, who have arrived at $40, the
hour fixed for the reading, only to find the
room already filled with the more enternris
ing 80 arrivals.

Is given who come late are pulled, breath
