Lines to Mary Ann.

Dedicated by the author to the
Bellies of the Cotton Patch)
I am yearning, fairly yeaming,-
| am frantic, Mary Ann,
Won't you come back to my Kitchen
] will help you all | can!
| am longing, Mary longing for a
look into your eyes,
And the family is hungry, hungry for
your lemon pies
For the cotton patch came between
us, We have drifted far apart,
And my mouth waters this minute for
a juicy apple tart.
When you see my leaden. biscuit and
and the leathery steak you sean,
! know you'll be sorry for me; mighty
sorry, Mary Ann.
I remember how it hapbened it is
clear as it can be,
How you wouldn't keep the baby, and
| answered angrily;
! was very young and foolish, on my
dignity intent,
And | swear It, Mary, swear it, had
forgot what cooking meant
! am older now and wiser, won't you
pardon me the break;
W on't Won listen tn nv nlpodinp and
come back to broil a steak?
Won't you smother me chicken, fash
ioned, Mary, as you can,
Won't you make some fluffy biscuit
like you used to. Mary Ann?
Oh, if you could lift my biscuit!
Oh, if you could only look
On the pale and weakly coffee,
Since | have begun to cook,
II you saw the steak We eat, how our
every daily meal
From once being real pleasure has
become but an ordeal,
You'd have pity, Mary, pity, though
your love for me is gone,
And you'd hurry back, know it, and
you'd put the skillet on,
And the weight of the biscuits, | am
sure YOU would reduce.
Oh, have mercy, Mary, come back,
Don't be stubborn-whats the use?

HEALTHY
MOTHE HERS

Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems in advance of baby
coming Unless the mother aids
nature in its natal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de
mands made upon it, and she is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is so truly

and no expectant mother should fail
to use it. 1t relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on

nature is expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the inflam-

'"The Maestro's Masterpiece"

"The Maestro's Masterpiece"
When Edward Locke penned his first
play of musical life, 1.-The Climax" he
evidently saw that he had struck a sym
pathetic chord in the public pulse, for his
| second effort, THE Maestros Master
! piece" produced at the Columbia last
evening before a capacity audience, clear
ly shows the. trend of his first idea, and that
he realized Nsp the life of musicians
| he had interested the theatergoers and
found for himself field as entertaining
as it was new.
In his second effort Locke has gone
| even further than in his first. Where,
| in THE Climax" he contented himself
with merely sketching the home life of
musicians and music lovers, in The
Maestros Masterpiece he takes his au-
ditors behind the scenes; he shows
them the world behind the footlights.

has added such touches of humor and
pathos, has created for US such new
types, has introduced music OF such real
quality, that we are forced to overlook
any inherent defects of the story or the
paucity Of the plot in the sheer delight
which We obtain from its recital.
Besides, the plot is merely a thread on
which are strung jewels of song such as
the seXtet from Lucia" the Barcarolle
from The Tales of Hoffman," the pro-
loSue from Il Paglaicci," and the 20
Patria Maj from Aida" to say nothing

selections by Gaetano Merola. These and
others are rendered by the members of
the capable company, all of whom COM
bine acting ability with excellent voices.
1t was noticed last night that the ma
jority Of the applause was for the vocal
numbers, but all of these were exception
ally well given, and to pick out any spe-
cial one for praise would do an injustice
to the other members OF the cast. The
tenor solos Of Leonid Samoloff and Fred
erick w. Peters, the barytone of John
Peachy, the basso of EMO Bozanno, the
sopranos of Maris Pampari and Miss
Diamond Donner, and the contralto of
Ethel de Ere Houston all came in for
their share of the well-merited applause

SUGGESTIONS OF INTEREST
TO THE TUESDAY SHOPPERS
By DOROTHY AVERY HOWARD.

It is often the case that persons
who passionaely love music have no
talent to play or sing This has
seemed to me a most pathetic thing,
for often the ability to express ones
self in music is more Of a comfort
than to hear even the finest musicians
render their own compositions or
those OF the masters. The piano
player has been invented to fill just
such need, for with 1t one may have
all of the worlds best in music when
ever the mood comes, or if 1t Is only
the popular melodies of the hour one
wants, these are at ones command.
Attention has been attracted recently
to a firm in G. street, near Twelfth,
which has gotten up a club where
by a fine pianO-player may be pur-
chased at a very reasonable figure
and on payments which are allowed to
extend for nearly two years. Mem
bership in the club entities one to a
$50 instrument at the very special
price of 1885.
AS only a hundred persons are al
lowed in the club, prospective men,
bers should interview the firm at once,
insuring an early delivery of the in

Jessie Wilcox Smith, known to the
thousands of readers of the Ladies
Home Journal for her charming child
sketches, which first appeared in that
phenomenally popular magazine. has
perhaps been at her very hest in her
series of portrayals of the child which
depict the fine senses. These beau
tiful sketches, which illustrate the
senses of tasting. seeing, feeling,
smelling, and hearing, have always
sold unframed for $50 each, but this
week. in a Photographic supply house
