try lane nnd told her in his rough yet
kindly way that she was a fool to
have left the stage
Why dont you go back

You will some day
Never Then mindful of certain

not until some one gives mo 200 a

Reade was PhilHppa Chester in The
Wandering Heir At the end of tho
run of this piece she did not leave his

cially disastrous but n suggestion from
Ellen Terry that her parts did not car

leave as any one could play uieso
parts equally well was received with
the greatest indignation by the fiery
author manager

VANISHING TROUSERS
A Simple Trick Which May or May
Not Bo Humorous
This is a simple trick and every mar
ried woman can perform it but it re
quires the assistance of a confederate
with a big bag of shining tinwaro on
his back
First get a husband with an extra
pair of slightly worn trousers in hi3
wardrobe then have the confederate
the man with the bag of tinware come
to the back door and knock gently
The wife must then peep out in a
frightened way and immediately the
man with the tinware tells a tale that
resembles an advertisement The wife
stops to think a few minutes Sudden
ly she must rush to the wardrooe out
only after the man rattles the brilliant
tinware to arouse her The wife must
walk back to the man again with the
trousers The man must take them
and hand the wife a few tin pans All
the while the man with the tinware
must smile happily At last the trans
nrHnn is completed and presto
change the husbands trousers have
disappeared and in their place appears
some tinware on the kitchen table
This trick is very novel and will
amuse the husband greatly The trick
should not be performed while the
husband is in bed unless he has an
extra pair of trousers P P Pitzer in
Judge
Another Nuisance
It was the first time he was being
married and he was naturally a little
nervous and upset but he managed to
say Yes all right and to keep time to
MVmdelssohn sailinff down the aisle
and to sign his name in the register
without making more than a dozen
blots
He thought then that it was finished
but when they got to the church door
they found it was raining
Confound it he cried putting up
his umbrella Another nuisance now
And then though he cannot guess
why the people around all laughed
and his mother-in-law bridled and his
wife refused to speak -London An
