Sardou. the great French playwright,
knew how to profit by the views of 9TH
er people, Jerome A Hart writes in
his book 'Sardou and the Sardou
Plays"
Like Alexandra Dumas pere. Sardou
was extremely sensitive to the opinions
of the less >.'htle spectators of his re-
hearsals He closely watched and
needed the impressions and comments
of the stage carpenters. scene painters,
firemen, supers and other humble peo-
pie behind the scenes. They represent
ed to him the average mind of the av
erage audience To the opinions of ac-
tors of his unproduced pieces he paid
little heed: TO the opinions of critics.
none at all At rehearsals no details
escaped him. He would seat himself
on the stage chairs and sofas. open and
shut the practicable doors. go to the
back of the parterre to study the per-
spective of the scene, climb to the high
est gallery to see if the audience there
could hear. and then hasten back to
the stage.
''Fhere he would seat himself. jump
ing up during the rehearsal thirty or
forty times to show the actors his idea
of the action. In doing this he would
laugh. would cry. would shrek and
would even die a mimic death. Com

Overcoat and hasten to muffie himself
up as before he was very sensitive to
cold and always came on the stage
with a heavy coat. a muf1er and cap
TO protect him from drafts.
He would rehearse from 10 in the
morning until 8. when he would take a
sandwich and a glass of wine. After
this he would resume his work until 3.

ANCIENT SUBSCRIBERS.
Roman Houses Were Tall and FIimsy,
the Streets Marrow Lanes.

tCFuaU FTO0bCS WNCFG anu Thtu1yf
the Streets Narrow Lanes.
The tenement house Is no new thing
So great was the number OF such
houses and so badly were they put up
in ancient Rome that in 60 A. d. the
Emperor Ohio, who was then marching
against Vitellius, found his way barred
for twenty miles by the ruins Of build
ings that had been undermined by an
foundation. The spontaneous collapse
Of tenement houses was so common an
occurrence that little attention was
paid to it.
The tenants of these houses have
been described by a writer of the time
as fearing to be buried or burned
alive Companies existed for the pur-
pose of propping and sustaining
houses
In comparison with the tenements Of
most modern cities. those Of Rome
were excessively high. Martial alludes
TO a poor man. a neighbor. who had to
mount 200 steps to reach his garnet.
That garrett must have been perched
nearly 100 feet above the level of the
street.
1t is possible that Martial exaggerat
ed. but it is certain that Augustus. to
make less frequent the occurrence Of
disasters. limited the height of new
houses that opened upon the streets to
about sixty weight feet. AS this was a
remedial regulation and referred only
to new houses fronting on the street
it follows that some houses must have
exceeded that height.
This. moreover. was irrespective of
the breadth of the street In Berlin the
medium width of the streets is twenty
two meters. and in Paris the narrow
est streets are nearly eight meters
wide, while the streets of Rome ex-
tended only five or six meters, and on
these narrow streets the tall houses
were built. Light and air must have
had some difficulty in penetrating those
narrow, walled in passages.

RECENT WEDDINGS
NOIin--Dutn


One of the prettiest weddings in
the history of Notre Dame church
was solemniZed Wednesday morning
at nine o'clock, the contracting part
les being Alphonse Nolin and Miss
Desbeiges Dutil Solemn high mass
was sung by Rev. E. G. Drouhin,
and splendid music was furnished
by the Organist, DR.. John E. Drouin,
assisted by John B. Henault, violin,
and the regular choir was aided by
Miss Emma Lavigne, soprano

Her veil was caught with lilies of
the valley and she carried a shower
bouquet of the same flower. The
maid of honor wore pink chiffon
over messaline and a picture hat
trimmed with pink. She carried an
arm bouquet of pink carnations.
Preceding the wedding there was
a pretty ceremony which is new to
the church since Father Drouhin
came here. The bride who was one
of the vice-presidents of the Chill
dren of Mary, accompanied by Miss
BenOit and Miss TurgeOn, walked
to the altar of the Virgin and there
deposed her badge as a member of

the altar. The fathers of the con-

church and they were entertained
by the sisters at the convent from
which the bride was graduated.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dutil entertained about
so friends and relatives at a we'd
ding breakfast and reception after
the service at the church. The
gifts consist of silver, linen, cut glass
and included a marble clock from
the American News Vending Ma
chine Co., by whom the bride was
employed as stenographer, and a
cut glass water set from c. E. Brown
in whose store the groom is salesman.
