when the members of The Belle of
New York company were routed from
| their peaceful slumbers at the Russell
/ House, Ottawa, in the wee sma' hours
| of Tuesday, April 9, they heard the
sounds of cracking flames and fire en-
| gines. The Russell Theatre next door
was burning and there was danger that
the hotel would go also. The Belle of
New Workers made hasty tracks for the
! sidewalk. The hotel was in darkness,
for the electric light connection had
burned out. The players couldn't see
to dress, and, anyway, in the circum-
stances, they weren't inclined to daily
in the dark. Most of them came down
stairs in attire that would have been
de rigeur at Turkish bath. What
was the surprise of the other shivering
Thespians when some minutes later
Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Connolly appeared
fully clad. valises in hands, and exas-
peratingly calm. Having prepared for
war in times of peace. they had among
their effects candle and some match
es. BY the candles weird glow Mr..
and Mrs. Connolly made a scrupulous
and leisurely toilet LAS long as the
walls are COOL remarked Mr.. Connel-
ly, why shouldn't we be cool, too?'
