 These are a few of the lines from The Clever Woman, which, with May Robson i'll the title role, comes to the Davis theater Thursday evening, Jan. 2ath, It is James Forbes cleverest satire on phases of every day American life Miss Robson as Emily Lamson, wife of the newly rich westerner who comes on from Omaha for the financial and social conquest of New York, has a most excellent field for the display of her versatility. Her dread of of lending the maid, her fear of the but Ter, her demeanor towards that royal " in the kitchen" and her chafing at the restraint clothes and customs newly thrust upon her are Iudicrous in the extreme, but at the same time carry home a telling lesson.

SISTERS LITTLE BROTHERS.

When Reuben comes to take her out The Little Brothers stand about And size the horse and carriage up, And wonder will he stay to sup, And hope he will, because there'n be The best preserves and cake LOT tea; And wouldn't it be jolly fun, If up should drive the Other One? ~~ When Reuben comes to take her out The IIttleARro thers hang about And criticise his shoes and clothes, And laugh about his crooked nose; And hide their faces in their hats, And softly groan, or yowl like cats, N nen the proud lovers, side by side, Step down the walk so satisfied. When Reuben comes to take her out, The Little Brothers wait about And watch and stare, and widely grin To see how neat he hands her in; And then they tell the horse Gid-dap, Before he can unite the strap; And then to speed .ls blissful load, They dance a two-step in the road.
