male roles by the leading actresses of
the period was held in high and popu-

this vogue was Nine. Malibran, who
appeared as Count Bellino in 1.-THE
DEVILS Bridge" at the Bowery theater
In January, 1927. Charlotte Cushman,
the greatest actress this country has
ever known, was seen at the Park
theater, June 27, 1888, as Claude Mel
notte in LADY of Lyons" Her sue
cess possibly induced to assume such
other parts as Cardinal Wolsey, which
she gave at Tripler hall; Gossamer in
brothers" at the same theater, Pat
rick in ''The Poor Soldier" and as
Romeo she appeared four times. An
other famous actress Of that time who
played male parts was Charlotte
CHAMPION, her favorite roles being
Hamlet, Jack Sheppard in "Jack Shep-
pard," "Mazeppa," Richard III and
Shylock Adah Isaacs Menken, who
immortalized Mazeppa, also must not
be forgotten. Among the other famous
actresses who appeared in male roles
were Millie Sackett Ellen Bateman,
Nine. Celeste, Kate Fisher, Anna Dick

LITERAL OBEDIENCE

Little Harold was getting final in
structions before starting for a party.
"Now," cautioned his mother, "at
supper if they ask you the second
time to have something, you must de-
cline"
Harold agreed and trotted off.
At one stage of the feast the hostess
noticed how eagerly the little fellow
was applying himself to the task of
disposing of generous dish of MARINA
lade. When he had finished. she in
quired: Wont you have some more,
dear?"
The child looked up at her quickly.
'T can't accept the second time," he
said earnestly after slight pause,
"but If you'll ask me a third time, I
think 1t will be all right"

One fine afternoon the following

saw her husband drive up to the gate.
She did not look surprised.

She descended meekly over the front

did not see it. He was looking out of
the corner of his eyes at the house
across the road. Mrs. Deacon the
