wrestle with Shakespeare, was packing
up his goods and chattels at the New
Amsterdam recently, preparatory to
silently stealing away. Just then he
remembered that his wife was to be

Clarkson sent the Irving wigs by the

all Sir Henry's wigs afterward, and
Clarkson began to worry about the loss
of a good customer. He dropped into
the theater one afternoon when the
