An Open Generalization

w, S. Gilbert does not retain all of
his humor for use in his Hbrettos.
In the early days of nIs success
when Gilbert and Sullivan we're con-
sidered by managers as the sure
winners in the comie-opera field,
young woman who was a member Of
one of the ''Pinafore' companies
wrote to Gilbert telling him of her
approaching marriage with a young
man of good position and family. ;.
Gilbert congratulated the young
woman and expressed the hope that
her future might be prosperous and
happy.
Only a little more than a month
passed, and another letter from the
same girl reached him, in which she
stated that her engagement with the
young man had been broken, and that
she had accepted another sutton
He replied that he had every conf
dence in her judgment and again ex-
pressed his hearty wishes for her well
fare.
It was almost two months after that
Gilbert received a third letter from
the same girl, who informed him that
young Lord - had proposed and
that she had accepted him, after
breaking her engagement with No. 2.
Gilbert's humor could no longer
Withstand the temptation, and he
wrote 4 desire 10 congratulate you

Sea of Velvet Blue.

The Mediterranean sunset is one
of the glories of the world. The
sea Is velvet blue. When evening
comes the clouds forsake the sky and
the sun takes on the color of molten
gold, gliding the purple waters as
the great glowing disk approaches
the level line of the horizon; wide
waves of crimson intervene across
the azure heavens, and sea and sky
leap together in vivid embrace of
color. The sun vanishes, the sea
turns from gold to silver, and the
sky grows crystal clear. Then night
falls slowly down.

We will laugh at care together like

And silently then they walked
along together, hand in hand. and
If she gave his hand an occasional
