THEATRICAL PRUDERY IN
 ENGLAND

Sometimes, when waiting in the wings to go on, it is instructive to watch through the peep-hole in the prompter's seat the faces of a British audience during scene in which there is any great ebullition of feeling or passion. Most of the women are look ing shamefacedly down their noses, or shrinking into & corner of their seat with g. deprecatory air. the men have their heads thrown up, trying to look as detached as possible, with the pro- verbal you can't catch me" air of the gentlemanlike Englishman.
 A well known French actress said to me last year: T do not understand your English public. I go to the theatre and see only plays fit for child ren, not grown up people. But what are your men and women made of l? Have they no emotious, no passions? Do they feel nothing of hate or love- of fear or tenderness, of jealousy or rage?"

THE KING OF BATH-"BEsAU" NASH <

When he raised his finger at Il D.. m. the music in the assembly room stopped as by magic, even though it were the Princess Amelia who, begged for an- other dance. From the Duchess of Queensberry he plucked her white apron, and Priors Kitty had to swal- low the affront. Occasionally he caught a Tartar as when he asked lit tie Miss Snapper if she knew the name of Tobit's dog, and was told that his name was Nash, land an irnpudent dog he was." The abolition of the wearing of swords was social reformation of more than trifling importance. It was Nash,s greatest legislative act. When gentlemen who had drunk too much claret met inpudent chairrnen, brawls and bloodshed were the customary sequel. Within hisaown sphere King Richard was more potent than George

 The bill in favor of the Consolidated Railway Company giving the Company the franchise and rights, which the trolley roads possessed under act of the legislature at the time of their pur- chase was reported at the last moment of the House session this afternoon.
