 | The broken accent is there, just | enough of the delicate French to make M. Tellegen fascinating and exotic and the words of greeting" which he dispensed were articulated and chosen as though the illustrious J. Ham Lewis were making 9 speech before the Senate or Robert w. Chambers writing one of his amourous books.
 Scene--Apartmentso of M. Tellegen at the Tutwiler; on the chair his top coat (he'd been playing golf at the Country club); on the writing desk a letter gorgeously thick and beautifully interesting from "Ge raidine": on the table saxaphone and a score of some popular melody; M. TeIlegen is 1oung- | ing in a comfortable chair, one long graceful leg crossed over the other; his left arm resting on a table; his long slanting eyes which match the rest of him gazing at you with fascinat- ing charm.
 Dolly--(A (All huddled up in a bunch on the very edge of the chair, straining eyes to see and ears to hear; frus- trated; i'll at easel: And you speak seven different languages I'm told: suppose you make love in all the severn"
 M. Lou Smiling, more with his eyes than with his mouth, and glanc- ing at the saxaphone on the tabIe): And I'm learning another language, the language of the saxaphone. al- ways thought it just as silly little in- strument that anyone could play until l tried to learn it and I find it is very difficult"
 Dolly-"But this language of loveY'

 M. Lou--(His eyes brightening and his smile growing more attractive as he is given the opening" to chat about his adored Geraldine.) "Yes, and by the way have you read the notices of Geraldine's LouiseT She did not want to sing Louise but insisted; she de- clared that Charpenter's music had m 1orce, no great power; bUt said, yes. and suggested that nothing was finer than the Depuis le Your of Louise,. and then she consented: just as she did with Zaza'; she never wanted to sing 'zaxa'; l begged her to do SO: you know the result. I went to see har after she had played 1t several fin, ss and as I sat wondering at her marval- ous art--especially in the third act when she plays with SO much feeling and emotion to the little child-I marveled at her art! I said. No ana could have done it like that save Sarah Bernhardt. Could I give her higher praise?''
 Dolly-"She is marvellous = she Ia IA belle Geraldine--she is divine, But --er-er-iet me ask you--isn't she at .ne same time-human enough to be ,eaIous or you-l mean in your plays? ou know, you make love to three dif- ferent women in Blind Youth, and how does she feel about that?"
