GRACE, BILL AND THE sUDOREEROUs GLANDS.

GRACE, BILL AND THE SUDORIFEROUS GLANDS.
WI believe that, after experience she had on the
w stage OF The Playhouse the matinee performance
Of The Indestrucble Wife" on saturday, Grace George
who playing the leading role, viii agree with Pro-
Henry Gray the celebrated British anatoms that
the skin the principal seat OF the of touch."
We doubt however that she viii agree with his
on that Il may be regarded covering for the pro-
lection Of the deeper tissues. At least it did not
her such protection Saturday afternoon
In part Of the play this winsome wife Of William A.
B ady stands with her back table places her hands
upon IT, gives herself spring. takes seat upon its top,
and swinging her dainty feet engages in spirited and glad
chatter with two members Of the caste. She
landed with emphasis the table Saturday afternoon,
but instead OF engaging in chatter she gave squea that
could be heard from pit TO dome and left the table top
with alacrity that keeping with the agonlzed
play Of the muscles Of her face.
Then reaching to place three points absft the
waist line, she gave tug. heaved sigh Of relief and
with smile Of supreme satisfaction held up to the audi
brass tack about half an inch long.
We are told by anatomsts that the skin consists
layers. the derma cults vera. and the eplderms
cutcle ON the surface Of the former the sensitive
papillae; and within, embedded beneath it, the
folllcles and subaceous glands The derma, true
skin is tough flexible and highly elastic in Grder TO pro-
ect the internal parts from violence We believe, how
ever that Miss George will testify under OATH that
made bum job Of II when she sat down that table top
which careless stage hand had crnbelshed with
brass tack point up and beigerent
That tack penetrated the bro-areoar tissue the concal
vascular emnences the strong nteracng nbrous bands
of the corium and the subouaneous areoar tissue. 1t
also must have penetrated the sudoriferous, sweat
glands because the spectators noticed that in about two
seconds after she landed with thump upon the table
and landed with jump upon the stage beads Of pespra
tion stood out her pretty face In fact IL seemed for
an instant that at least 232i5 Of the 23s2s sudorfer
Gus glands in her possession working In sympathy
with her tack-ransnxed feelings despite the extremely
cold weather outside
Next to his talented wife, William A. Brady who in
the audience the st TO the true situation His
guaw gave point to the truth the assertion that
the days Of Adam and Eve. has sympathzed with
a man or a woman who has sat down a tack. Wholly
unmndfu Of the fact that 1881 25 Of Miss Georges
sudorerous glands dstns moisture from the Fount
Of Agony the dead Of winter and damning the tack and
the man who had put the table Brady set his orbicu
aris papedram and his eyator papedrae to work and
gave loud gufaw The members Of the company echoed
it, and the audience Joined in the chorus
For the time being the play forgotten. THE Inde-
structbe WIFE was swamped by Of laughter which
fell like vtrol upon her wounded cults vera and epdermis
We don't know what Grace said TO Bill after the per-
ormance was over and they repaired to apart
ment In the Hotel dupont It must have been good and
plenty because when we saw Bill Saturday evening
in the hotel lobby his geno-hyo-gossus seemed to be
parayzed his nguals out Of gear. his constructor
superior acted somebody had broken its back and
his paatopheryngeus seemed TO be craving glass Of
grape juice.
All Of which should be lesson to husband never to
permit his levaor labil interiors; his buccnator or his
zygomatcus major to get away with him when his beau
fu and loving wife sits down hard on half-inch tack.
Won Tirpitz says Germanys success is only ques-
ton OF keeping cool Blamed II that murderous Dutch
man hasn't got his eyes Ohio at last!
