a cRLRRY cAMELIA.
The Flower Was Missing and the
Vegetable Was Made to
Serve Instead.

While speaking of the serio-comic side of
stage life recently, relates the New York
Times, Miss Clara Morris told the following
story as an experience of her own:
Somewhere in the wide world" she said,
"there is an actor-and a good one-who
never eats celery without thinking of me. 1t
was years ago when | was playing Camille.
In the first scene, you will remember, the
unfortunate Almond takes rose from Ca
mile as token of love.
we had almost reached that point when,
as / glanced down, saw that the flower
was missing from its accustomed place on
my breast.
what could do? On the flower hung
the strength of the scene. However, I con-
tinued my lines in an abstracted fashion,
and began a still hunt for that rose or a
substitute My gaze wandered around the
stage. On the dinner table was some celery.
Moving slowly toward it, 1 grasped the
celery and twisted the tops into rose form
Then began the fateful lines:
g Take this flower; the life of a camelia
is short-if held and caressed it will fade In
a morning or an evening.
Hardly able to control himself, he spoke
his lines, which ran: 1T is cold, scentless
flower. It is a strange flower
EI agreed with him."

nominal wages as figured by the OPP

that the miner rarely makes full
