makes a point to arrive at the theater
about th%ree-quarters of an hour before
curtain rise in order to see 'em all come

band who accompanied her with her
usual monologue OF criticism the other
night.
The Rubberer caught it something
like this:
I'm. Here m that Souseish man.
Just wonder where his wife is? Never
see her with him at all any more. or
course. he isn't to, be blamed so mucn
for wanting to be alone, when ii comes
to that, for she certainly has got to be Il
frayed and frazzled- looking poor thing;
deed she has! saw her at the market
Il couple of mornings ago, and OIL al Ile
parchmenty-looking ones!
"Souseish looks like he's drinking
lfard again, doesn't he? It's a wondef 10

time is getting pretty seedy. No Won

on. there come those Gitloit girls.
Did o ever?-the whole three of them
together, as usual, and trying 10 act Kit
tenish and young. and not a man. or
even an imitation of 4 man. along Wltn

81 guess those poor Gitleft girls fluid it
hard enough to keep up appearances,
Mercy sakes alive, ! know that Mildred
Gitleft-Mildred's the eldest of the
three, and she's every bit as old as | am,
if she's a day-Mildred has had tina
baby blue silk waist, with the cream lace,
for six years, and gracious sakes only
knows how many times she's made it
over. the poor old skinny thing. | sup
pose we'll be seeing that waist till the
crack of doom.
Did you ever in all your born dayf
see such a fright of a hat as that OIL
! Aggie Gitleft? If she hasn't been using
that same piece of brown cotton
velvet on that hat for four years, shes
never used it at all!
And why, in mercy's name. will
Gertie Gitleft just absolutely persist in
wearing that awful cream-colored imi-
tation broadcloth opera cloak? II she'd
only have it cleaned, it wouldn't be so
frightful. but now!
"Humph. There comes hat Nix
bother woman, without her husband, as
usual. and with that horrid Whatsyuse
woman dragging after her. as she always
is. Now, wouldn't you just naturally
think that that NiXbother, if only for
the sake of appearances. would be seen
with her husband once in awhile? or
course, we all know that he's a brute,
and that he spends every leisure mir
ute that he can grab in playing poker
and there are some queer stories about
bis poker playing. Ihear-but why don't
! they separate. then, instead of just going
on making people wonder their heads off
about them?

deed it is. | think for a couple like that
to bring poor dear little innocent chill
dren into the world-oh. there's that
young De Mungpung of the Patagonian
legation. So distangy, don't you think?
And everybody says he's so dreadfully,
frightfully wicked and dissipated. law
me!
And there comes that spiteful Warm
front with her pudgy husband.
and that same old empire fan she's been
using for a whole generation. and that
picture hat of the vintage of the Deluge,
Nicely mated pair, amt they? She
must weigh fully SO pounds, and he
weighs 20 near 275 that there isn't any
fun in it. | declare. Land sakes. isn't
he the communicating pudge of a man,
though. Now, ii You didn't know.
wouldn't you really take him for a driver
of a brewery wagon? Just think how Il
man like that must snore-it's too awful
to even think about. And did you ever
see such a whole acre of bald head as he's
got! And yet she tries to make every
body believe hat he's the handsomest
thing in Washington!
'Humph, here comes that Nicelot

thing?
My. but isn't it funny how she tries
