REPARTEE ON THE STAGE
Some Of the Amusing Remarks Which
Actors In Paris Make to One
Another.

Paris actors are fond of saying
things to one another on the stage
which will confuse them and make
the answer very awkward. A few
days ago, during the progress of a
costume play, one Of the actors who
was wearing sword knocked the
thunder plates down in the wings

which are shaken to produce thunder.

who was upon the stage, turned to
one OF the pages and haughtily asked:
"Whatever's that?"
To his surprise the page, who, as
stage pages often are, was charming
young lady In real life. answered:

sire, asking for conversation with
your majesty"
The king, without moving muscle,
although the audience laughed, re.
piled: Are you quite certain they
are dumb?"
They say so. SIRE" replied the
page, with great solemnity.
WELL" said the king. ".hey make
an awful noise about it."
1t was In the same theater that the
stage manager. who was playing the
part OF noble lord in the play, found
when he got on the stage. that only

were on the stage in one scene. He
could not leave the stage and fetch
them. and as five lords were indis.

he said, "only two lords-in-waiting on

They are the most fetching things in

FUR TRIMMING THE VOGUE
According to Fashions Present Edict
II Is Almost Impossible to
Overdo IL.

Surely there never was time when
the economical woman could more
gladly bring out from the moth balls
all the fur she has inherited and
bought. She can have 1t dipped and
combed and put 1t on every gown that
she will wear this winter. The
nightgown Is almost the only robe
that Is not fur trimmed, and one
would not be surprised to see one ap-
pear with an edge of sable at sleeves
and hem.
Sable is in first style for everything.
It is used in 15-inch borders on eve
ming wraps, In ten-inch borders on
afternoon gowns, and in three-tnch
borders on ball gowns. On the latter
1t is combined, or rather held down
at intervals, with huge dull red silk
roses. One sees it combined with
flowers on great majority OF gowns,
not for street wear, Of course, but
for all manner of house occasions.
Chinchilla Is shown again, but not
in dyed marten, sealskin, and dyed
otter, as we'll as It's natural condi-
ton, is very fashionable and is used
on chiffon and satin or tunics and
coats.
Narrow edges of all the brown furs
are run on sleeves and the drapery
on the bodice, and one sees 1t also
on tabs that hang from the waist in
severe elongated directoire fashion.
It is supreme in. millinery Hats
for all hours are trimmed with 1t.
Every turban Is to have border OF
1t. Fisher, badger, skunk and grebe
are used with lynx. dyed marten,
sealskin, and dyed otter. Sealskin
is especially smart on hats and the
woman who has any of it in good
condition can turn it into high plait-
ed turban and border 1t with three
inches of brown fur; If sable. all the
better.
II she wants this hat for afternoon
wear she can have one rose at the
side or front-preferably q huge, dull
red one. This black-red tone, which
is the color of blood, is very much
the fashion in gowns. in wraps and

BY FORCE
OF CHEEK
By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY
(coDyrisht. 1910. BY Associated Literary press.2

(copyrght. 1910. by Associated Literary Press)
Col. Alexander Burlington of the
suburban village of Granville, was a
terror. He had been retired on half.
pay. and he blamed the United States
for not retaining him zen years
longer. AS the postmaster was the
only representative of the United
States at hand. the colonel made 1t a
practise to go to the Office once a
day and tell him what he thought of
his old government
The colonel was terror to such OF
his neighbors as kept dog or
chickens. He was terror to the
mayor and aldermen of the village.
He would stand at his gate and shake
his fist at speeding autoists; he
would thuneer at tramp In a way
to make the poor fellow wish he had
perished In the California earth
quake; he would insist on telling war
stories to callers, and If they did not
shiver he had no further use for them.
People used to whisper that they
felt pity for the coloners wife, and
more than pity for his daughter, Miss
Mamie. and yet, queerly enough,
those were the only two people for
miles around who we're not afraid of
him. He clustered around home.
and almost daily threatened to dis
charge the cook, and to lead a riot
against the United States and many
other things, but neither wife nor
daughter called on the neighbors to
protect them. The daughter simply
said nothing, while the wife stood 1t
as long as possible and then mildly
observed:
Alexander, II you keep on storm
ing around and talking 80 loud you
will end by drivingsthe cat from the
house, and she Is one Of the best
mousers we ever had"
Therefore the only fault to be
found with the colonel and his bluff
was the fact that he made young men
afraid Of him, and in 30 doing he kept
them away from the house. There
were half dozen who would have

liked to call on Miss Mamie. Indeed.
there were half dozen who did call,
but only once. When the colonel got
through with them they were glad to
find themselves out doors and still
living. Many and many a time the
daughter wondered to herself II there
was not young man somewhere In
this world who had the nerve to
stand up to her father, but the months
passed away, and he came not.
The aforesaid young man was on
the trail. however, His name was
Kenneth Aldrich. He was a medical
graduate. He opened an office In
Granville. He did 1t without con-
sulting the colonel He did It without
caring two cents whether the colonel
was at the battle of Bull Run or
Waterloo.
