Stephen Maley, "A prominent member OF
"The College Widow" company, that Is
AZ the Providence opera House, called
upon his old chum John Thompson at 4
Stokes street yesterday. =
The two had quite an amusing incident
turing the afternoon and one that led Mr..
Msley to believe that all tailors who make
repairs are alike
Mr.. Maley has "A number Of articles OF
wearing sppearal that are used for cos
tunes and many OF them he prizes very
highly, especially a pair OF wide checked
trousers and a brown sack coat. These
he has been the owner OF for IL years.
On sunday Mr.. Thompson called upon Mr.
Maley at the Newman" and during his
stay Mr.. Maley told him that the old
brown coat needed slight repairs but nc
could not find a tailor anywhere VINO
would make them as all would tell him
the coat was an old one, and was not
worth repairing and IL repaired at all
should BE- cleaned and pressed.
Mr.. Thompson, ever ready TO help a
friend in need told Mr.. Maley that he
had "A friend I'm Oineyville who would do
the job and do Il right. Yesterday Mr.
Maley called on MIR. Thompson and the
nilI NA1lN Fd - 1hbAllHblA = AhANtA -
but before going Mr.. Maley told Mr..
Thompson that his tailor would also say
tha the coat was an old one and would
need TO be cleaned and pressed.
Mr.. Thompson had so much faith In
the tailor that he wagered a supper that
the tailor would not say "a word. but
would do just what ne was ordered TO do.
TO make the story short. Messrs. Thomp-
son and Msley will eat supper together
after this evenings performance. at Mr..
Thompson's expense, for Mr.. Maley told
him that all tailors were alike 40 far as
repairing his old brown coat was con
cerned, but the taller after the matter had
been fully explained to him. made the
needed repairs.
