1.-THE THIRD DEGREE"

Charles Klein, who will be agreeably

lean drama, THE Lion and the Mouse

the adventures of a young man from
the high paths of life who contracts
an unconventional marriage This
subject has, of course, before been
the subject OF dramatic literature, but
the skillful and unusual treatment &C
orded 1t in this instance by the mas
ter playwright gives it all the attrac-
tiveness of originality and when there
is added the entirely novel element
of psychological interest it may be
said to be a complete departure in
theatrical presentations, The play,
in four acts, has been given a most
interesting and lavish scenic produc-
ton by the United Play company

Cards Signified Much 20 Those
Initiated.
French Minister of Foreign Affairs
Under Louis XVI DEVISED lnaeu-
ious System, Described by ?
Writer in the Century.

The mysterious cards employed by
the Count de Vergennes. who was
minister for foreign afTalrs under
Louis XVI, in his relations with the
diplomatic agents of France exhibit
great ingenuity in their arrangement
and show what the political condition
of Europe must have been at that
time to require such precautions,
writes John H. Haswell, who, in Cen
fury, describes many forms OF secret
writing" The count was a great
friend of America, and 1t was largely
through his influence that the trea-
ties of amity and commerce and OF
alliance of ITS were concluded.
These cards were used in letters of
recommendation or passports which
were given TO strangers about TO en-
ter or depart from France; they were
intended to furnish information with
out the knowledge of the bearers.
This was the system: The cards CIV
en- to a man contained only few
words, such as "Alphonse D'Angeha
Recommends a Monsieur F."<@i1te de
Vergennes, par lie Marquis de Puyse-
CUR, Ambassador de France la
Cour de Lisbonne"
The card told more tales than the
words written on it. It's color indi-
Gated the nation Of the stranger.
Yellow showed him to be English;
red, Spanish; white, Portuguese;
green, Dutch; red and white, Italian;
red and green, Swiss; green and
was expressed by the shape of the
card. IL Il was circular. he was I'M
der Is; oval, between % and go;
octagonal, between 80 and As; hexag-
onal, between As and 60; square, be-
tween so and 60; an oblong showed
that he was over 60. Two lines plac-
ed below the name of the bearer indi-
Gated his build. If he was tall and
lean the lines were waving and paral-
| lei: tall and stout, they converged:
and so on.
The expression of his face was
shown by a flower on the border A
rose designated an open and amiable
countenance, while tulip marked a
pensive and aristocratic appearance.
A fillet round the border, according to
its length, told whether the man was
bachelor, married or widower. Dots
gave information as to his position
and fortune A fEN stop after his
name showed that he was a catholic !;
a semicolon, that he was a Lutheran !;
a comma, that he was a Calvinist; a
dash that he was Jew; no stop indi-
Gated him as an atheist. So also his
morals and character were pointed
out by pattern in the angles of the
card. So, at one glance the minister
could tell all about his man, whether
he was gamester or duellist; what
was his purpose in visiting France;
whether in search of a wife or to
claim a legacy; what was his profess
sion-that of physician, lawyer or
man of letters; whether he was to be
put under surveillance or allowed to
go his way unmolested.
