IRVING THE ARsTEMloUs ONE.
Poet Had Forgotten Finishing Bottle
of Port Himself.

II was while Irving was rehearsing
"Becket" that he told a story OF Ten
nyson that has both pathetic and hui
morous significance. In the earlier
days, when "The Cup" was in prepar-
alton, he had been to see Tennuyson
in the Isle of Wight to discuss his
ideas for its presentation. After din
ner the dessert and wine were set
out upon separate table and when
they were seated the poet asked Irv-
ing If he would like a glass of port.
Eyes, like a glass of port" replied
the actor
Upon which Tennyson, taking him
at his word, poured him out a glass
of port and, all unconsciously, fin
ished the remainder of the bottle HIM
self
Next morning the actor had to leave
and had therefore taken leave of his
host overnight. But he had scarcely
awakened when he saw Lord Tenny-
son sitting at the foot of his bed
How are you this morning?" he
inquired, anxiously.
Very well, indeed" was the guests
reply.
Are you?" came the response. with
Just a tinge of doubt in the tones
Of the voice. you drank a lot Of port
last night"
That was Tennyson's way OF re-
penting after bottle of port!

somewhat after this fashion: Don't
