Mind the Paint.
Many Union City people have no doubt
had the pleasure OF seeing the charm
ing actress, Miss Billie Burke, in one
or another Of her plays, as she has
often, since her debut in America sew
eral years ago as John Drew's leading
woman, been every season as near to
us as Memphis and st. Louis. A sea-
son ago her play went by the somewhat
mysterious title OF Mind the Paint
Girl" 1t was written by an English
man. with an English sense Of humor
no doubt, and English humor when
understood is the sort that amuses with
out singing, the same not being un-
.derstood OF our own jokes. The title

gallery gods, and after bit it was taken
off and one Of more simple understand
ING substituted. Just what was meant

countenance to her thousands OF ad-
mirers IL she had rigidly observed the
moral herself. Paint is not half as
