AN EXPENSIVE EPISODE.
Rainy Day Skirt Cost q Girl S75. and
Now She Wants to Sell 1t.


tits not much of story" said the
bright girl hesitatingly. II had that rainy
day skirt for fully a month bcfone could
make up my mind to wear it. Then there
came day when it didn't rain; 1t simply
poured cats and dogs and pitchforks and
things. It was necessary that 4 should
go down town, so got out my skirt and
looked it over, and finally after I had also
looked over my trained ones and pro-
nounced them unfit for any sensible per-
son to wear in that deluge, ] put it on
reluctantly.
1T was the prescribed length. but it
seemed fearfully short to me. and i felt
SO abnormally self conscious that de.
cided just couldn't get in car and have
everybody gazing; that's why l walked.
had II or Is blocks to go, and it seemed
to me that that skirt was shorter each
time l looked at my reflection in a shop
window-and l looked, of course. every
time there was window.
"Presently met friend.
"'Why, DEAR she said-women always
call one dear when they're about to say
something disagreeable-'isn't your skirt
just little-er'-
"'No. It's a great deal-er,' said / hot
~, after which scratching piece of repair
tee fastened on.
"Well, finally reached my milliner's
and in the long mirror set in one side of
her wall looked the awful truth in the
face-or the ankles, I should say-for
that skirt had shrunk as I came down
town. though the merchant had sworn
when bought it that the cloth had been
spongcd. hope he'll get his reward!
II went home in a cab. anyhow, and
now there's a perfectly good rainy day
skirt for sale cheap that would probably
suit young woman six inches shorter
than myself or lady Of the ballet. II
that airy creature ever consents to 50 out
in damp weather.
''It's not much Of a story, but the cpl.
sode cost me in cab hire, cost of skirt and
wear and tear Of mind owing to the
glances Of the populace ut my ankles just
about $75."-Baltimore News.

Hit-of Some Sort.
'Fusby is going to revive Hamlet
"Now
Fright. You know that's his hobby.
He says be thinks it will go like house
afire if he puts it on in up to date fash
ion. For instance, he's going to introduce
a barnyard scene in the first act to bring
on Ophelia. She'll be feeding the real
chickens, with real corn mush, while Po-
lonius has comic struggle with the real
bull calf. Hamlet sits on the top rail Of
the real stake and rider fence and whit
ties while he delivers his soliloquy.
''The players scene will take place in
barn, with Esinore seen through the big
doors at the back, and there'll be barn
floor dance by all the characters. Hamlet
will interview his mother in a china
closet, with real jam and other preserves
on the shelves, and Polonius will be
caught rubbering from the dumb waiter.
I'm the graveyard there'll be spook
ballet, and the scene will wind up with a
spirited football match between the Cob
Inns and the Hants, with Yorick's skull
for the ball. .
"An eight round 60 with four ounce
gloves will be substituted for the fencing
scene between Hamlet and Laertes, and
vial Of knockout drops will take the
place Of the rather clumsy idea of the
poisoned foils. " ": e''>,''
"Of course all the characters will come
to life again il time for the cake walk
wind up, in which Hamlet and Ophelia
will take the honors, with the king and
Hams mamma a close second. If there
is a recall, the, biograph curtain will be
dropped, and a series Of moving pictures
representing real and imaginary scenes in
Shakespeare's life will be given-the
whole closing with the. allegorical red
light tableau. entitled Peace or Wag.' -.

body leave the theater feeling as it he
hadn't had his moneys worth" -Cleve-
