Your gable sounds terrible out in

say something about calling every

Il know what you said," said AIS
wife. You've been finding fault with
the way I've played this part ave
since we was in Topeka. Amt l
doing it right? Don't l get a hand on
my closing line and four bows every
fnish?"
Louise listen!" interrupted Al.
"You always did fine with your lines
up to a while ago, but don't like the
way you read them now. In your
scene on the rustic bridge, when you
say, Reginald, is this going to be our
last meeting?' you don't seem to mean
it. You talk like you was asking the
waiter whether the tripe was good.
And the business that follows where
you clasp me around the neck%is all
wrong. 1t looks to the people in the
seats as if you're getting ready to
jump INTO the water and pull me along
with you"
Jump in the water is good,' said
the oma in the sketch. i've want
cd to lots OF time, especially of late.
Don't you look at me that way!
There's a perfectly good reason. How
can anybody in the business say her
lines and act the part when she
knows the gown she has on is SO out
of date that nobody remembers when
it was in?"
II never thought OF that said he.
'sBut did you eyer stop to think that
the suit / wear in the is n l
bought in Spokane four years ago last
Fourth Of July. and still it doesn't af-
feet my art? When act forget
everything. Clothes don't make the

But they make the artistic" retort-

it's time you remembered it. give
rotice now that CT l don't get a new
gown before we open in Ypsilantl
there's plenty of other work for me to
do"
"Oho!" said the little i-genue.
"Say, AL, your wife is dead right. You
haven't got a word to say. Clothes is
something that can't be argued about.
I'm with the lady, first, last and all
the time. I'd
"sure, you're both right" said AL.
.sYou can't argue about old clothes,
not in this game. It's funny l didn't
think of it before. It's us for the
nearest costume shop. Come along.

Plucking Asparagus.

They were very young and very
happy, and very foolish, and very
newly we'd.
And they kept a Kitchen garden.
Angelina, darling" said the
youthful husband, "as I was passing
through the garden / saw some
asparagus ready for cooking. Per-
haps you'd like to go and gather the
hrst fruit OF the season yourself?"
She would love to, but she wasn't
expert In horticulture, and didn't
want to let on" If she went alone,
she might commit some egregidus
blunder.
