Joseph Buckley, who is the manager of the Otis Suinner company, relates an incident which occurred while he was standing in the lobby of one of our the aters the other night. A pretty and fashionably attirtd young lady, followed by a gentleman of distinguished ap pearance, stepped up to the front of the line at the box office and they instinct ively paused as she took her place in front, without any apology or hesitancy as to whether she was entitled to pre cedence over those patiently waiting their turn. He, almost meekly, followed, and in a well bred manner requested the treasurer to show the seats not sold for the night. He then turned and asked his companion how she would like the fourth row. She replied: "Fourth row! No, in deed. That's too close. Haven't you something about the eighth row?" The treasurer replied: "Eighth row? Yes, madam; two seats in the eighth row." "All right. Let's have them, please," he answered. "Now don't be in such a hurry. You say eighth row? Let's see where." The treasurer then pointed out the two seats on the left side. "Left side! No, Indeed! I never sit on the left side. Show me something on the rignt side." The tickets were then enclosed in an envelope and handed to the gentleman. 'How much are thej ?" was the next query. "One dol'ar and a half each." The treasurer was commencing to look sad and wondering if they were never going to move along. "Are they on the aisle?" was the next remark. She was assured that the aisle seats were all sold, only to bo met with the retort of "I presume you are holding isle seats for some friends." Mutterings were commencing along the line, and with a peevish acceptance, she moved away with her friend. As the doors closed after them, one of the men in the line observed: "Some morning she will wake and wonder why he left her." OLIVER TODER THE DIRECTION OF 0. T, GRAWFOHD 5, F. C.
