Now the crowd was waiting.
From the dressing-room on the right

the head being entirely hidden by a heavy
veil.

their team out of several drifts, SO
they also concluded to remain un-
til the storm ceased. On Sunday
they were able to return home and
the stage has been able to make
regular trips since. The weather
was mild, the thermometer at no

zero, but it must have been a Sc
