Flowers for Miss Nash.

After the second act a one-armed
soldier walked up one aisle to the foot
lights with a huge bouquet of red
roses and a soldier who had lost a
leg walked up the other aisle with
an armfm of sweet peas. These were
presented to Miss Nash with the COM
pIiments of Col. Schreiner of Walter
Reed Hospital. After continued ap-
plause and demands for d speech, Miss
Nash came forward in her quaint 1910
costume, her little figure almost COM
pIetely hidden by the flowers she
carried
Miss Nash concluded a graceful ap-
probation of the plays reception with
reminder of a name that every sol
dier loves, and the little talk ended
with three big cheers from the heart
for the Red Cross.
The lad who carried the bunch of
sweet peas down the aisle had been
told to hand them to Miss Nash. He
was a soldier, and his instructions
were to be obeyed to the letter But
he couldn't quite reach to the foot
lights, so Orrin Johnson took the
flowers from him and handed them 70
her with soldiers compliments

Kiss for Him; One for the Others

But the lad was disappointed; a
little mist in the eyes told that. Miss
Nash heard about it and requested
that he come back on the stage to see
her. He began to frame manly
little apology, when Miss Nash inter
rupted him with kiss.
That's for you" she said, and
here's another for the Walter Reed
boys; I wish l could kiss them all, one
at time"
The kisses explained matters to
eyerybody's satisfaction.
II was an event of remarkable in

appropriate, and no audience more
