the hook, and the mother had nervous prostra-
ton waiting for certain Russian Countess to take
her hands off the little Barons eyes so that he
could see the bait. And then queenly Kate herself
was nothing loath Her fathers partner had pro-
posed to her annually since she put up her hair and
there other aspirants galore; but the Baron
had title, and besides was the leading light in
the Smart Set Dramatic Club The illogical part
of it is that the Baron has gone spinning ahead in
the Servian diplomatic service since his marriage,
and they suit each other down to the ground

There was a very deep voiced old lady nearby
who kept grunting all during this talk and seemed
to be swelling up like the ambitious toad in the
fable, and as the woman with the sub
scription Est had moved off, she burst out like a
volcano:
Don't you swallow all that east wind my dear!
That's all cobwebs and moonshine about necessary
sacrifice Why, that Mrs. Clayton has three nice
little children, and she leaves them down in Georgia
to the of and lame sister, while she
comes up to Washington every winter and haunts

Queen who had condescended to admire cast of
countenance that Hopeville has rejected as too
gipsyish."
But the woman who had cast the slangy slur did
not know awe Humph wouldn't that blow your

hind a screen wearing some
very frilly underwear and then
a pair of blue satin corsets, and
she looked right at me and be-

urging him to cut his splendid speeches to

The Congressman who gets his election
by absent treatment is one of the marvels of
the age; so don't let it worry you any more

t was all joke OR what Certainly Amoss law

LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
 VAUDEVILLE SHOW

Eagle hall Was filled to the doors last Saturday evening with an audience that thoroughly appreciated all that was good on the vaudeville program. Several most pleasant items were well rendered. Mrs. Dunlap upheld her great reputation as an elocutionist. Messrs. West and Hanks were good in their pseudo o-melodramatic efforts. and Messrs. Leland and Reid arc singers who can always please.
 Perhaps there was a mistake in not keeping the best wine for the last. for the last impression is the most lasting. That hitch occurred in the finale can not he laid to the blame of the man agerial department. which was un- doubtedly beset by many difficulties in trying to sandwich such performance between so many other events. As said before. many of the artists afford cd much pleasure and amusement.
