ful. After dinner the guests listened to
a reading of John Aldea by Mrs. Mary
Manniog. A reading by Mrs. Manning
is always delightful. It is u far cry be
tween her interpretations aad the
sp.'isxB and mock heroics of the travel
ing elocutionist, who has a cultivated
capacity for the artificial. Mr9. Man
ning truly interprets the meaning of a
poem. She does hot try to imitate thun
der and even lightning, the beat of a
horse's hoofs, the patter of rain, the
wind in the tree-tops, the dull thud of
Cain's body as it strikes the earth, nor.
does she attempt any of the thousand
devices that eljcutionists have tortured
us with. She reads a poem as the
author might do and we are as un
feignediy thankful for the absurdities
she ignores as for the sympatht tic, found
interpretation and the full vibratory
quality of the pleasant voice, for the
simplicity and directness of the manner.
