Bobby's Brother.

Bobby had been so very lone
some for a while that he had be-
gun to pray that the Lord would
send him a little brother. Every
night before jumping into bed he
had got down on his knees and
reverently offered up his petition,
and latterly without departing in
any way from his reverential at
titude, he had ventured to suggest
that he had been waiting a long
while. and hoped that the Lord
might grsciously hurry matters
along a little.
Watcher it was in response TO
this suggestion or not is not

three days the little brother ar
rived. an eight-pounder, and to
all other eyes than Bobby's a
rather perfect specimen. Bobby
looked at him with critical air.

Opera Box Cushions.

One Of the curious things about the
renting of box at the Metropolitan
Opera House is that If you do so you
have TO supply your own cushions for
the chairs in It, All of the boxes, ex-
cept few in the parterre row, are
furnished with one style Of chair which
has closely woven cane seat and
back and which, like the frame and
legs, is heavily gilded. Long ago wo-
men occupying the boxes made the
that after sitting on one of
those chairs through a performance
the pattern of the cane weaving was
imprinted on the stuff of their frocks,
and so some one conceived the idea
Of having cushions made to use on the
night that the box was theirs. This
custom has grown to be almost uni
versal and the cushions are cared for
by the attendants and are put in place
before the doors are opened, just as

Now, Eleanor Stevens had been by
no means eithers the crotchety old

been an eccentric, and with every year
since her debut her eccentricity had
become more marked At times, for
example, she would dance and golf

and success that made her for the
