The Mystery of Love.

Willard Spencer's inspiration, like
Daly's Railroad of Love, flies signals
OF Merriment and an interesting tale
inspired on the cars.
When love, sweet love,
Comes rap, tap, tap, tap at your heart
You bid it stay,
For worlds you'd not have it depart
At first, sigh
Then rap, tap, tap, tap all is done
Ecstatic mystery oflove,
Some day comes to every one
Whether or not the following tale is
favored with truth, the writer is not
prepared to vouch, but it bears the ear
marks and possibilities of a straight
tale and the chances are that by long
odds Annanias or his disciples have
had no hands therein, but a close COM
panion in fact, one of the best friends
Willard Spencer, the author and COM
poser of ''Miss Bob White" declares
that the theme of Spencer's best and
most pretentious waltz song was sug-
gested by a little incident that occur
red during the princess Bonnie"
jaunts during the first year its trium-
phal tour throughout the East
The scene was the interior of a
Pennsylvania day coach west bound.
They had just pulled out of Broad St.,
Station, when Spencer as is his pater-
nal interests, went out and saw one of
his flock was like the captain of a ship,
the last on aboard. One of his princi-
pals, little less since known in elite
society," was just bidding adieu to her
lover, likewise prominent in business
and social circles in the big Quaker
Metropolis, when, for want of better
occupancy equally interesting, he
watched the expressions and maneou-
vers of this self same maid. He had
Just bid goodbye and she had taken a
seat in the rear end of the car, directly
in front of the brilliant author where
he could detect her every throb with
out being observed. First there was IL
sigh, then a blush, then pallor followed
by a smile, a tear or two, another
sigh and another blush heightened by
a rag.time pulse, particularly notice
able at the temples and wrists.
That Mr.. Spencer never essayed a
Sherlock Holmes is one of the marvels
not quite fashionable, but his friend
AYERS that it was this action that
prompted the lyrics for the song which
has placed Miss Bob White in our
midst and as Spencer will neither con-
firm or deny the tale, it is reasonable
to suppose that our learned informant
knows whereof he speaks.

Colonial Dress Social.

The Colonial Dress Social given in
the public reading rooms Tuesday
night under the auspices of the Metho-
dist ladies' was one Of the most delight.
tul social functions OF the season.
The nearly two hundred in attendance
entered heartily into the spirit of the
occasion, thoroughly enjoying every
feature provided by the ladies for the
pleasure of their guests. 4 soprano
solo by Miss Grace Lloyd, piano selec-
tions by Mr.. Ericsson and Mrs. Trotter
together with music by the Sunday
school orchestra, were a source of much
pleasure while the old fashioned spell
ing bee gave no end Of amusement
The Refreshments We're dainty and
tasteful, while the decorations, con-
sisting of flags and bunting were bright
and pleasing. Many of the ladies
were in Colonial dress and needless to
say looked quaint and charming. All
voted the occasion a decided success.

/" Miss Bob White, -

When new production can achieve
continuous run outside of the metro
polls it must possess more than ordi-
nary merit. Yet that is precisely what
Willard Spenser's new comedy opera.
'Miss Bob White" did in PHILADELPHIA.
More than that: its run carried it far
into the torrid spell and the audience
at the closing performance was fully
as large as at the opening. 1t is not at
all improbable that it could have still
been running smoothly along in the
city of Brotherly Love if the attempt
had been made. miss Bob White,
will be seen in Emporium, at opera
house, on Tuesday evening, Feb. 28th,
and the same elaborate production
that tickled the theatrical palates in
Philadelphia will be on view during
its local engagement. No attempt at
curtailment in any particular will be
made. The gorgeously picturesque
scenery, the beautiful Kaleidoscope
dresses, the brilliant, sparkling electric
and calcium effects, all will be seen
here just the same as if "Miss Bob
White" was to remain among us in
definitely. That Mr. Spenser's melo.
dious musical score will receive lust
treatment cannot be doubted as Messrs.
Nixon & Zimmerman with their ac
customed liberal management have
supplied the most important compon.
ent parts of on orchestra which they
carry with the company. The entire
band will then be directed by Howard
Cook, the well known musical director.
The cast will be up to the standard of
the other departments and will include
among others Mae Phelps, Alice Craft
Benson, Zellah Harris, Annie Haddon,
Connie Mac, Georgia Campbell, Susie
Talmage, Frank Deshon, James L.
Mcclure, Joseph Leighton, Ii. C.

production of "Miss Bob White,n the
most popular of the comic operas OH

the "deadhead" or the worker of passes
has reached the limit in one of the
small towns in Alabama, where the
show played recently. Mr.. Thropp
was on his way to the train, when he
was accosted by a stranger, who had
evidently been put wise" to the fact
that he was ahead of the ''big show"
that was coming, and stopping him
said: Say, are you the agent Of this

ia like to have four passes for my
family to go see that show" "What!
four passes. Ny gracious you have
your nerve with you. My dear, good
man l don't see any reason Whv
should give you four passes. Who are
you"' 'Oh, Pm only the engineer
down at the electric light plant,5 said
the individual. Well, we can't give
passes to every man that comes up
and asks for one and the only way we
do give them is when we receive value
IN return and | can't see why you come
in at all. All right, the fellow said,
you don't have to give them if you
don't want to, but sometimes the lights
in the opera house go out and have
known cases where they couldn't be
fiXed and so the show had to stop. OF
course you don't have to give me them
four passes, but, he continued, with a
twinkle in his eye, it would be q shame
to spoil good opera troup like yours
if the lights should not work. Now /
could pay strict attention to them and
see that they worked all right, if |
wanted to, but if you don't want to
give me them passes. Hold on, bold
on, said Mr.. Thropp, pulling out his
pass pad, he hurriedly wrote off four
passes for the best seats in the house
and handed them to the individual,
who was profuse in his thanks, leaving
