JOSEPHINE STANTON REPLIES
TO PAUL EGRY'S CRITICISMS

~ HRISTCHURCH, N a., July %,
1901.-Editor Advertiser: l do not
~ make it a practice of airing my
grievances in the newspapers. but an
article which recently appeared in the
Advertiser from Mr.. Egry was so I'M
just to me, and contained SO many
statements which were at variance
with truth, that / feel justified in ask
ing your indulgence and the liberty of
your columns to place the matter in a
correct light before the public.
Mr. Paul Egry received at the hands
of this company and this management
the best kind of treatment, and in re-
turn for this he acted III the most
shameful manner. During the last
week Of our engagement in Auckland
Mr.. Egry did not appear in the theater
at all, being intoxicated the entire
week. He borrowed sixteen pounds
from the proprietor of his hotel and
when he left forgot to pay either his
board or the loan. The most serious of
his pecadillos Vas his failure to return
to Mr. HaIam the violin which was our
property, and which was only loaned
Mr. Egry. In addition to this he is in
our debt thirty dollars. which money
was advanced to him. Perhaps these
little oversights may be due to his poor
memory. The trunk which he mentions
in his interview must have been spec

this company; he hadn't even a valise.
When he left for Napier the proprietor
of the Prince Arthur Hotel where Mr..
Egry had stopped, was at the wharf
with a warrant for his arrest. This may
account for his haste in getting the ST.
ezra that morning.
l mention the above facts not out of
any prejudice for Mr.. Egry, as he is
now beyond the possibility of ever be-
ing IN our employ again, but / feel that
man of such doubtful character
should not be allowed to use the space
of your paper to spread reports which
are based upon imagination, without
word of protest.
Mr.. Egry is scarcely judge of wheth-
er our business was good, bad or indif-
ferent, as he was seldom sober enough

and myrrh in prophetic allusion to the
persecution unto death that awaited
him. Very well. When did they make
their presents? No doubt you will
find many persons who will answer
that it was on Christmas day. But
you know better. You know that they
followed the star from the east for
many days before it came to a stand
still over the stable in Bethlehem; and
when they entered the lowly frame
structure in which an ass and a COW
were tethered and beheld a King great
er than they. lying in manager, en-
veloped in swaddling clothes, the Di-
vine Babe was 12 days old.
Thus, you see, Twelfth Night is,
after all, the proper time at which
to present your Christmas gifts. The
celebration of the day has, however.
fallen into what we might call in
these days a condition Of innocuous
iesuetude. It still remains one Of the
great festivals Of the Catholic church,

particularly in Great Britain, some
festal celebrations of similar charac-
ter prevail until this day. 1t is not to
be supposed that in this country there
will be any change made in the OBJ
