HIS LETTER TO HER.

New Haven, COnn., Jan. ~.
 My Dear Madge: Thanks ever SO much for your letter. You are about as nice a little cousin a any fellow could have, and better than . sister. They are beyond my ken personally, but men I know, who have them. say they're always giving . fellow away before other girls, but I could trust you with anything.
 But, I say Madgie, there's some thing else I want to speak to you about-and that's Harry Grantham. He was at school with us. but neither of us was at all chummy with him. and nobody thought he was very great shakes. In fact he Is not a fellow | should care for you to know we'll. So no teas at his rooms, Madgie, please. you must promise me this. If you'd got a brother. he'd put his foot down at once about 1t. Uncle Fred is SO busy plugging away at his old books he doesn't half know how to look after you girls. Grantham Is just the sort of fellow who. if you gave him an inch of encouragement. would get fresh" and become a nut sance. You take 1t from me. I re main, your affectionate cousin,

AS ENGLISH IS WRITTEN.
Efforts of a Portuguese Hotel Keeper and a Frenchman to Use the
 Language.

The publication which was once brought out in Portugal bearing the title English as She Is Spoke" has for long time enjoyed worldwide reputation. Tourists on the continent of Europe sometimes come across ex- amples of English quite as curious as that of the Portuguese author.
 In the bedroom of hotel at Genoa the following notice was found: "The lamentations of the walters are obliged to be made at the bureau" It was in . hotel also, not church. that the following request was made in writ ing Visitors are prayed into dinner when the bell rings. that they may not disturb the order of the service" There Is hotel advertisement in Calais station to the following effect: Quite a peculiar animation resides at this fashionable spot of Paris.

HER LETTER TO HIM.

New York City, Jan. 20. My Dear Billy: Thank you ever so much for the photos, which look so nice in my book. The one of you with the puppies isn't half good enough, though.
 Of course I'll never say a word about what you told me regarding Mollie. I am 50 sorry about 1t, and I was awfully surprised, too, at her engagement. I never met her fiance, but Maude told me he was exactly like a "pink soap baby"
 :, Well, there's no accounting for tastes, but personally I can't under stand anyone preferring . creature like that to a manly man.
 Oh, by the way, what do you think, the other day at the Fitzhugh's par ty, met a Mir. Harry Grantham, who was at the academy with you and Sid. He was so interesting, and has asked Maude and me to tea at his rooms next Saturday. I remain, your affectionate and sympathetic cousin.
 MADGE. P. S.-I am glad you think so. I really mean sympathetic!

THE TWO JOHNS"

With bright dialogue, songs and dances calculated to please all de- voices of fun and laughter, "The Two Johns," which has long been a favorite of the American public, will come to Polls tomorrow afternoon and evening. Those who remember this musical absurdity will want to see it again, and those who have never had an opportunity, will cer- tainly have double treat in store This is J. c. Stewards masterpiece by all odds. It will have an element of freshness, even to the old timers, who remember merely the delightful ness of it's humor. Many new songs, dances and novel specialties are in- troduced. Prices are 25, 35 and 50 cents: matinee 25 cents. Telephone 116-2.

Jacques
JACQUES.

The funniest and at the same time most artistic bit of work George Felix does in the skit "The Boy Next Door" with which he and Lydia Barry are leading the bill at the Jacques this week Is the disposition he makes of his hands while impersonating a country pumpkin. Made up after the most grotesque fashion Mir Felix stands in the center of the stage staring about him at the luxurious drawing room into which he has found his way. With an expression of utter inanity on his face. His em- barrassment is made seemingly ludi- crous by the manipulation of his hands which are never at rest for an instant but wander from pocket to pocket never remaining more than a second in one place and then fiit- ting uneasily away again. It is a consummate piece of artistry and per- lection to which Mir Felix has worked out the idea proof of what natural cleyerness will do when aided by ex- perience and unrelenting toll. Equal ly artistic is the characterization of a tough old war veteran who drinks and swears but has a good heart in spite of all his faults whicn Francis Owen gives in The Benediction. the little comedy drama which he and his assisting players are giving so successfully. Mir Owens old grandfather is as near life as imita- ton can be and in voice carriage and appearance he is the counter part of many an old timer who is walking the streets of Waterbury now. The Three Joselyns offer an exceedingly beautiful acrobatie act and the mus ical selections of the Three Roses are repeating the success won by the trio in the past Hayman and Franklin, the Three CartveIls. the Golden Gate Quintet and the electro graph with a series of dramatic scenes called "Tne Train Wreckers" complete the bill Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents. ladies 10.

THE COLLEGE WIDOW.

Comedies are seldom suplied with really stirring episodes, spectacularly presented, but "The College Widow,' which comes to Polls Monday eve- ming offers a real thriller" in the football scene of the third act. As this is the backbone of the plot, and as everything has led up directly to the outcome of the contest, the in- terest in it is natural and intense. Add to this all that such resource full stage manager as George Marion can do with ample material at his command and the scene becomes of preponderating effect. Prices are 25, 30, 75, $1.00 and $1.50. Sale of seats Saturday. Tel 116-2. Seats reserved by order will not be held later than Monday.

NEIL BURGESS.


 Neil Burgess's characterization of Abigail Prue, the leading role in traction at Polls, is not mere bit of female impersonation. MT Bur- gess has made study that is mar velous in minuteness of detail, not only as to apparel, which is faithful to an astonishing degree, but also in the admirable stimulation of voice. behavior and nature. To see him on the street, bustling along in the crowd, quick, nervous and vigor- ous, and then watch him as he walks out in the curls and frocks and spec tacles and knitting needles of Abi- gail, and one realizes at once what real character acting is. Prices are 25,. 35 and 50 cents. Telephone 116-2.
