The curtain had just gone down, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.

has discussed the play, the cast and the
gowns over and before the footlights She
has touched upon literature, music and
art. She has discussed golf. She has point
ed out persons in the audience and bored
the man by trying to direct his attention
to the right person, and If she thinks she
is entertaining him she is mistaken. No
doubt he likes her and would be content
with merely her presence, but, like most
foolish girls she longs for reputation
for Eeirg entertaining.
"She is fioundering terribly now, and is
red iced to a joke on the programme. If
she only realized it, the poor man is tired
out and she insists on draining to the
dregs what little vitality his days work
has left him. Any one with half an eye
ought to see it, i noticed when I turned
to thank him for calling the water boy
for me that his eyes were dropped with
the heaViness that Is the result of brain
fag,' as they say in England.
Doubtless she breakfasted at half-past
8, and perhaps took nap before dinner,
and she cannot understand what it is to
want perfect quiet and rest. She wants
an endless round of gayety till 1t is nearly
time for him to go 10 work again.

sense of justice and proportion to under

forget to wind them and they never re-

and restful to the eye.
"A clever woman who would expect a
man to entertain her would be very try
ing after a rushing day at his Office"
"Weu, l think that often a girl feels
tha< entertaining is a stern duty, and no
matter how tired she is herself, she
talks said the ohaperone.
"A sensitive woman knows when to
keep still" said the chaperone.
II don't see how you make the ends of

man. with more sublety than is popularity

The crocus dies, the roses blow:

Where they who loved thee once lie dead;
The child who cings to thy strong hand
Tomorrow in the place shall stand.
Say not ''Alasp'
For thou must pass.
But when the phantom, Death, draws
near,
Breathe thou no sigh and shed no tear;
Look upward with unfailing trust
To Him who knoweth thou art dust.
Say not "Alas!"
For Death shall pass.
