The Time to Break the Rule.

There is an anecdote in some volume
of French theatrical memoirs narrating
an experience of Mile. Clarion, the
great tragic actress, with a pupil of
hers, a girl of strong natural gifts for
the histrionic art. but far too frequent
and too exuberant in her gesticulation.
So when the pupil was once to appear
before the public In a recitation Mile.
Clarion bound the girls arms to her
side by stiff thread and sent her thus
upon the stage.
With the first strong feeling she had
to express the pupil tried to raise her
arms. only to be restrained by the
thread. dozen times In the course of
her recitation she was prevented from
making the gestures she desired until
at the very end she could stand it no
longer. and In the climax of her emo
ton she broke her bonds and swung
her hands to her head.
When she came off the stage, she
went humbly to where Mile. Clarion
was standing in the wings and apollo
gized for having snapped the thread.
But you did quite right" said the
teacher. THAT was the time to make
the gesture. not before"-Brander Mat
thews In Harpers Magazine.

The smotberiug Scene.

AS to stage appointments, there
were no plush or velvet curtains or
couches draped with satin in early
days. The furniture was as unpreten-
tious as the costumes. Indeed on one
occasion when lady was playing Des-
demona to her husbands Othello dis
astrous and ut the same time ludicrous
had been imminent through the lack OF
even nail or two to make an old stool
steady
1t was the smothering scene. and the
couch was made up of two chairs and a
rickety stool covered, of course. with
the simplest draperies-a red merino
curtain trimmed with yellow worsted
fringe Imagine a Desdemona endeav-
oring to recline gracefully. all the while
feeling portions of her couch sliding
from under her. This Is how the scene
was played out:
Desdemona-Kill me tomorrow; let me live to-
night. Q'm falling dearD
Othello-Nay. If you strive Keep quite still. }
Desdemons-But half an hour (oh hold me)
Othello-Being done, there is no pause. Q'll
push the stool under)
Desdemona-But while say a prayer. (Do be
quick. Robert, it is slipping)
Othello-It is too latel
Which, indeed, it was, for the bed col
lapsed. and DesdemOnas body lay up
on the floor. her head upon the sole
chair, which stuck to its post faithful

Great Drawing to n BObtaf1 Pair.

have the shadow of a thing in his
hands, but he raised Brown $40, in
tending to stand pat and bluff it out.
Brown had three aces, and he came

wise man should in case like that,
Jones determined to see 1t through. He
knew, of course, that 1t would be use.
less to try to bluff, so he drew three
cards to a king and queen of spades.
Brown had drawn two cards to his
aces and had got small pair. AS q
bait he led off the betting with IS.
Jones hadn't looked at his hand until
Brown bet, and when he picked up his
cards he almost fell dead. He had
drawn an ace, jack and ten of spades,
making royal flush. They raised each
other back and forth until one or the
other had all his money In. and when
the hands were shown the game broke
