Miss Jeffrey's Rest Spell.


Miss Ellis Jeffreys, the English ac-
tress. is unusually popular with the so
ciety folk in New York. who delight to
entertain prominent players, and she
found her time much taken up in con
sequence.
On one occasion, while she was play
ing in Days, change in her company
was about to be made, and 1t became
necessary that she should attend early
morning rehearsals. For week pre-
viously she had been leaving immedi-
ately after the performance each eve
ming and attending one or another OF
the social functions that were being
given in her honor. Then she was
forced to arise at each morning in
order that she might be at the theater
by 1890, and 1t required all her moral
hours rest
1t was no use to complain, for 1t
had to be done. She could not prove
ungrateful to her friends, for an ac-
tress must make all the new friends
she can and still keep the old ones.
She could not neglect her work, of
course, and it was absolutely neces
sary that rehearsals should go for
ward. For five days Miss Jeffreys
stood the strain, and on the morning
of the sixth she appeared at the thea
| ter, wan and worn, but full of courage
| The stage manager was little late
and Miss Jeffreys welcomed th'
| chance to sit down In an armchair be
hind a piece of scenery and rest.
Shortly appeared the stage manage
and called the rehearsal All re
sponded, except Miss Jeffreys. Thel
waited and waited. but she did not ap
pear. Finally search was made AM
then the telephone was set jangling
Still no star could be found, An hou
went by and then the stage carpente
ordered repairs on scenery wall. HI
moved this fiat as It is techinacll,
known, to one side, and amid wilt
chorus of yells and laughter, the miss
ing star was discovered, PEACEFUL
sleeping in big armchair in tn
gloom of corner.
When the awakening came Miss Jel
freys was not perturbed. She calml
observed: "The best and most salts
factory nap | have had since came t
the United States"
