ITS evident that you're a iandsman.
Every sailorman knows what ship
wife is. It's an extra pillow placed
under the legs or arms to ease the po-
sition. 1t isn't so necessary on land,
where you have wide, comfortable
bed, but it's almost a necessity at sea,
where you are cramped up in mar
row berth. with no room. to stretch.
Any one who has been at sea for a
long period knows what shipwife
is. We get so used to using one that
we're not fully at home on land I'M
less we have one. Better let me have
another pillow for shipwife. John

Evolution Of the Modern Play. s,
/. With the decay of dialogue In Inn
portance less attention has been paid
to delivering it SO exquisitely as to
give value to it for it's own sake. And
so by degrees we came to the mod
ern play, In which everything is sac,
ridced to vraisemblance, soliloquies
are tabooed. and people talk as they
do In real lffe-naturally and entirely
to the point. Ezra. b 1 IL: s@'5s ~
