Then he would turn suddenly id gaze upon her with a tender ness that would melt in the mouth of a stone statue. They had come to see the play, no doubt, but tl» y ha 1 evidently forgotten what they were shere for, and they didn’t ■how any signs, as the time wore on, that they would recollect it. The man had been dividing at tention between the performance •n the stage and that before him. •nd finally his wife bent over and whispered to him, as she nodded toward the couple : “Two souls with but a single thought. ” “Bosh,’’ he responded in a tone of strong disappoval, ‘‘they haven’t got half that many.” Mrs. tlnaks that mvi'u inhumanity to mt i i« not a heal of woman’s cru’lty to woman.

These, too. were enacted out of fashion, but only while the wom en were getting breath for a fresh contest and a sleeve that exceeded in cost anything that had gone be fore, for they were both wide and long, reaching over the hem of the dress. These were the arm cover ings that called forth the last flat from the Venetian Senate. Are American girls patriotic? The stories of the Revolution say so, but times have changed since then. Ladies Vernon Harcourt, Brinsley Sheridan and Mildmay, three American women of title in England are daughters of she late John Lothron Motley, the histori an and diplomat.

One of the very best minstrels extant, and one of the finest out fits that money can produce, is that »f Hi Henry’s minstrels of forty well known stars who ap pear at the opera bouse Monday Dec. 31st. will be remembered by our citizens as given w hen here be fore one of the finest entertain ments of the kind ever seen in our city. The East Saginaw, (Mich )Cour ier-Herald says of their recent ap pearance in that city: “Hi Henry has an excellent minstrel show, as every one of the audience at the Academy of Music will attest. Those who braved the cold rain and the chilling winds ware amply repaid for their trouble, as the performance moved with • dash and a spirit well fitted to drive away the depressing effects of the storm. Matt Diamond, George D. Lamb son and Master Edward Percy sang in an entertaining manner, and Larry Mack took the house y storm with his gags. J. Marcus Doyle and Frank Mc- Nish made a diverting j air of en tertainer , the la'ter being well re membered here for his dancing. Hugh McVey swung the clubs in a very clever fashion, and the second part of the show opened with a se ries of shadowgraphs which some how never seem to lose their at tractiveness . Frank McN’ r h has for years been unrivaled in hie acrobatic special ty which he calls “Silence and Fun,” and he could never have satisfied the audience last night judging by the way they encored him. The three Rexfords did two turns of a gymnastic nature which were enthusiastically received and Hi Henry’s band and his cornet play ing made a acceptable close for an evening’s enjoyment.
