SOME NEW FITcHIAN LINES.
Some of the Humor of "The Way OF
the World

In 1.-THE Way of the World" which
Miss De Wolfe and her remarkably skill
full company are playing, there is not
that obvious straining after mere smart
not to say mars-a good deal of Clyde
Fitch's other work. Many of the lines in
1.-The Way of the World are genial and
bright. however, and are distinguished
by humor rather than satire-which again
is something of a departure for the often
mordant Mr.. Fitch. Here are a few of
them:

but Nevill is too old a bird for the little
bill you're making out for him.
During the same scene:
