/ A KISS IN
THE DARK
By J. p. coUGHLAN
Copyright. 1901. by J. P. Coughlan

No excuses for his conduct can be
offered further than it was his first Of
Tense and the whole thing was done
in an offhand, unprecedented sort OF
way. Besides, Mollie was really an at
tractive girl.
Burton had been living with the Low
dons for a number of years and had al
ways been regarded as one of the faml-
ly, so much so, indeed, that his real po-
sition, that of a boarder, was kept In
the background.
The Lowdons did not like to think OF
themselves as keeping boarders" ana
saw no reason for a descent in the So
ciaI scale simply because Jim Burton,
their. old friend, lived with them in
this comfortable home and bore le-
gitimate but fixed share of the ex-
pense.
Martha had been stock feature in
the Lowdon home for years when sud-
denly she was replaced by Mollie. The
contrast was superlative. Martha, the
hard faced, the stern, that martinez or
the kitchen, the scourge of laxity, was
a million removes from Mollie, the ap-
pie checked. the smiling, with Irish
mischief in her eyes and the comether
on her lips. Burton thought the change
splendid. At breakfast he smiled cheer
fully into Mollie's bright face in shame
less, good nGtured admiration.
What wonder. then, that three or four
evenings later, when Burton was enter
ing the house and found Mollie in the
dusky hall lighting the lamp, he should
tiptilt chat dimpled chin and kiss the
inviting lips?
That's for your good looks, Mollie,"
he said and went upstairs three steps
at time. In the rear he heard a
stified shrek that died away in soft
chuckle. AS he dressed he smiled
complacently at himself in the glass.
Burton dined out that evening. At
breakfast next morning he found a
second Martha. Mrs. Lowdon appar-
emily did not think the matter worth
explanation She had other matters
on her mind. Turning to her husband,
she said: "Jim must dine home this
evening. l want him to meet Eta.
Eta" she continued. speaking to Bur-
top. sis my cousin. She is going to
stay with US here for month or two.
She is charming girl. You'll like her
awfully, Jim. Now, be sure and be in
time for dinner"
Burton was politely interested. He
did not look forward to the prospect
with any great joy. Mrs. Lowdon's
friends were usually duty to him
and involved more attention than he
was at times willing to give. His meet
ing with Eta Kingsley that evening,
however, put matters at once on an en-
tirely different footing. Rarely had
Burton seen so much demure viva
ciousness. A sparkle and a ripple in
her laugh foretold pleasant things.
Her smile was sometimes in reserve.
Burton had his first acquaintance man.

A Juvenile Feminine Prayer.

A little girl was spending the sum-
mer at fashionable watering place,
and one morning as she played upon
the veranda of the hotel where her
mother was stopping she heard
lengthy conversation upon the fashions
of the day and the absolute necessity
of stylishness in dress if one hoped to
be success in society. One lady went
50 far as to say that stylishness was
far more important than beauty.
That night as the child said her
usual prayer she added, with great
earnestness. And oh, dear Lord, Edo
please make me stylish"-Lippincott's
Magazine. -.--

/ "Oh, don't know. 1t just flashed
through my mind that you never do
anything frivolous"
Mrs. and Mr.. Lowdon laughed. and
Burton, faint tint on his face. looked
at his plate and laughed too.
A few days later the four went to
fbe theater. On the way home Miss
Kingsley was frankly condemnatory
of the play. "The hero" she told Bur-
ton. twas, to begin with, fool. and In

To Mend I1nce curtasnr.

If your lace curtains are badly .torn
when they return from the wash, / try
mending them this way:
Buy some plain curtain net ia, about
the same sized mesh as the ground
work Of your curtains. Cut pieces suf-
ficiently large to overlap the holes; dig
each in cold starch; lay the curtain on,
an ironing board wrong side up. Place
a piece Of the net carefully over a, hole
and iron with moderately hot iron till
quite dry. Do the other holes in the
same way. If curtains are sufficiently
long, it is sometimes possible to cut a
sufficiently large piece either from the
top,or bottom to do the patching.

"IMPRUDENCE."
an Excellent Comedy Produced by an
Excellent Company.

an Excellent Comedy Produced by an
Excellent Company.
In a neat speech at the close of the
second act at the Hyperion last night
William Faversham. that excellent
English actor, struck the keynote when
ne said that, judging from the applause
Sust given, the production of the new
comedy ''Imprudence' had met with
the approval of New Haven audience.
He said that this fact was very graf
flying, as words of approval from New
Haven carried much weight with them
in New York city and elsewhere. The
enthusiastic reception rendered the rem
dition OF this 'three-act comedy by Il.
". Esmond was deserving. 1t is GER
tainly an excellently written piece, ex-
ceilently produced by an excellent COM
pany. The action passes entirely at
Harlesdon Manor, England, and the
scenery and stage setting are distinctly
English and magnificent. In a word,
the play presents a picture of every
day life where innocent parties are
made the victims of distastefuI circum-
stances and suffer untold misery until
LIE guilty PclI LiCS Oh OIoCCNSAS W 4SAA
this as the basis of the plot the author
had abundant scope to produce strik-
ingly strong play and his success was
attested by the rapturous applause last
night. At the conclusion of the second
act Mr.. Faversham was compelled, af-
ter the curtain had been raised dozen
times, to make short speech.
The entire company, as can always
be expected of Frohman companies, is
deserving of mention, but Mr.. Faver-
sham deserves the lions share of the
praise. He fully sustained the previous
enviable reputation and doubtless won
many new admirers. He is splendidly
fitted for the part taken, and he gave
painstaking and altogether satisfactory
Interpretation. His part is that of
gentleman who assumes to prove the
innocence of the young woman he loves
and who has been falsely accused of
wrong-doing, and he gained frequent
and prolonged applause for his capital
work Miss Fay Davis as Wilhelmina
Mari, the one wrongly accused, was
y superb and portrayed her difficult role
splendidly Miss Hilda Spong as Lady
Duncan, Miss Jeffreys Lewis as Mrs.
Jim Greayes and Richard Bennett as
Jim .Greaves were all exceptionally
fine.
The comedy may properly be said to
be one of the best ever presented here,
and can be favorably compared with
when We Were Twenty one" which
was written by the same author.
The matinee this afternoon and the
performance tonight should both be
attended by large audiences.

A CURIOUS CASE.

A fairly good looking and well dress
ed man, who says he graduated from
Yale in the class of 81, was arrested in
this city Thursday night by Detective
Ward on the charge of drunkenness.
Robinson was in New Haven last
spring and last fall and asked for loans
of money from several Yale men here,
saying that he would repay them as
soon as possible. He seemed to be fair
Iy we'll acquainted with New Haven
and college life, and on several occa-
sions managed to get a loan of $40 or
SIS. He will be brought before the city
court this morning. Robinson says he
comes from New York.
A singular coincidence in relation to
this matter is the fact that the names
given by this man and his description
is very similar to that Of the man who
threatened to shoot Senator Keane in
New Jersey few days ago. The story
told by this man as to his antecedents
is somewhat similar.

HARRY LACY IN BELLEVUE.

New Haven Actor Acts Strangely in
New York and is Taken Into Gus

Harry Lacy the actor, of this city, is
patient in Bellevue hospital, New
York city. He was sent there Thurs
day night for observation. Lacy had
been standing in front of the Park
View apartment house, at Forty-sec-
ond street and Sixth avenue. making
an incoherent political speech and at
tracing a crowd. He was shouting for
1.-The poor laboring man" when friends
tried to take him away, but he made a
struggle and finally a policeman was
called and he was taken to the hospital.
Friends of Lacy cannot account for his
strange behavior.
Lacy has been residing at 631 Chapel
street. He went to New York on Mon
day. He is son-in-law of the late
Charles Cruttenden, who for years was
the owner of the fremont house, now
the Davenport hotel. Mr.. Lacy's many
