LABOR AND RECREATION.

The Denver Post Of Sunday contains
an article signed Il. w. w. which is
rather frothy than solid written In
what Is known as "the lighter vein,"
on a variety Of current topics which
would not have called for any comment
Of ours. but for some misstatemenls and
unwarranted conclusions respecting the
| dramatic company that has been play
yng "Corianton" in Denver. The writer
appears to have viewed the work Of the
actors from the wings OF the stage, and
to have been startled by what he calls
the refreshing and splendid enthusI-
aen" with which the minor people" en-
tered into their labors, He says
1T was fine TO 20 back on the stage

So far. so good. The ladies and gen.
tlemen who compose the company OF
singers. dancers and supernumeIaries
are conscientious and interested In the
performance, and have been trained into
doing their best. They enter into Il
with vim and dash that Is both
pleasing and praiseworthy. But the
critic is altogether mistaken In the no.
ton that he entertalns as to the reason
for this. He says: "They come from
land where II Is all work, work. work."
In support Of this he remarks further.

 One day real painter called at her home, and she immediately con ceived the idea of testing him. She would show him n specimen of her handiwork, but would reveal nothing that might lead him to suspect her as Aeing the creator thereof.
