Miss Stuart and Mr.. White are great
favorites with Detroit audiences, anu
the bit of nonsense they offer serves

not face his wife, who believes him TO
be an ideal man. The manner III

the most OF her opportunities as tie

The humor OF the whole farce is pre-
scented in a manner that is truly OF the

OF merriment for his friends. IL Il
