when she enters Il shop what she
wants. She is swayed by impulse,

or thinks She likes and probably comes

is also completely lost II the shop

at this special line in cheap skirts"
But the American woman resents any
suggestion that she does not know

may abruptly leave the shop. But.

A HOPELESS SITUATION:
Odd Climax That Was Not n Part of
the Play.

the Play.
- Frank Gilmore. the actor, tells the
following story about his aunt, Miss
Sarah Thorne, who was leading woman
at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, many |
years ago.
Miss Thorne was given part in
The Masked Prince the second piece
Of the. evening"" said Mr. Gilmore.
Balancing through her part hastily at
breakfast, she noticed that there was
one scene in, which she had so little to
say that it could be learned just be-
fore going on. She decided to skip that
scene and get to the longer passages.
:, when might came, and my AUNT
made her appearance, she did 1, very
well in the first scene. In the second
scene occurred the passages she had
skipped in the morning. She rushed to
the corner in which she left her book,
but 1t was not there. q. Finally, the
stage manager, receiving no response
to his repeated calls. sought her out
and pushed her on the stage. There
she was, before large audience, with
out the slightest idea Of what she was
supposed to do or say. The scene was
q courtroom. At high desk sat the
presiding judge, letter perfect in his
part, because he had 1t ready to read
from the papers In front Of him. A
trial was taking, place, and Miss
Thorne, to her horror, discovered that
she was to be the principal witness,
on whose answers hung the entire plot
Of the play. The judge adjusted his
spectacles, looked at his part, and said
in solemn tones, The witness will now
state what she saw the prisoner do on
this particular night
What was she to answer? She
glanced around helplessly. She hadn't
the faintest idea what she had seen
the prisoner do on that particular night.
The critical moment had arrived; some
one must speak, but she couldn't. Her
eye alighted on one Of the characters
In the play who looked particularly
reliable. He looked like a person who
could get one out of any sort Of diff
ficulty. So, pointing at him, she ex-
claimed In impressive tones, ASK that
manv
1.-THE entire cast seemed Disconnected
by this remark. They did not know
precisely what ought to be said, but
instinct told them something was
wrong. The judge thinking he might
have made some mistake, turned over
couple of pages Of manuscript and.
having convinced himself on this point,
again addressed the witness. My aunt
glanced at the uncomfortable gentle
man and no other Idea coming to her,
again exclaimed, Ask that man!'A This
concentration of public attention was
too much for him, and he sneaked off
the stage with a feeble Excuse me-
Of course the situation was a hopeless
one, and the curtain had to be rung
