Racine's 'Andromache."
Tho lady obeyed the summons with
mlagivinfs, but she was soon unde-

tened To the reading. The tender
passages seemed. so the lady says, to
make the least impression upon his
majesty. but frequently during the
heavier parts he interrupted the read

Toward the end a court attendant
announced the arrival OF some Wis

king turned to the reader and said.

served, Ask the ladies to wait. Tell

wanderer had a wonderful piece of
